So Long Summer...See You Next Year

Happy Memorial Day

Diana and I decided to use a half off coupon to visit the Anaheim Muzeo today. Below the phtos below of the exhibit (it was a monster theme)...

How California are these palm trees?

This guy isn't quite as scary with the flash on!

The Library Tree & Other Design Tips

How's this for a librarian-themed home decorating?

Library-Themed Wedding Pictures!

Everyone has been asking "was your wedding library-themed?" (In case you never saw the library-themed invites, here they are again!) Now we finally have the pictures to prove that it was! I'll be uploading some of them to this blog next week, so if you want to see how we decorated, then come back then...

Until then you'll have to settle for the photo below....

Contest News: An Update

I promised to have full contest details up in Feb for the "Quiet, Please" book give away....well it's almost March and I have nothing official, but I have something pretty darn close. Thanks to all those email their ideas about what the contest should be.

Unofficially speaking, the contest will be a photo contest of sorts. Participates will be asked to submit photos that best illustrate the insanity of the library. One winner a week will be announce from the end of March to the end of April.

Once everything is official in March, you'll be able to send off your photos. Until then start digging around for photos!

CLA - A Photo Diary

1st Street. I get off one street to early :(

Is this a Borders Books or movie theater?

Seen one convention center, you've seen 'em all

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the floor is more interesting then this wiki workshop!

Nothing fixes a long day like lunch!

Of all the days not to be running the roller coaster!

This is a floating garbage truck! It goes around the harbor and picks up all the garbage. I've decided when I grow up I want to be a trash man of the sea just like the guy driving this thing.

Who doesn't love a lighthouse?

The Queen Mary...as seen in such television comedy's as Arrested Development.

As I walked by they advertised on a loud speaker the boat would depart on a three hour tour...a three hour tour.

What's so famous about this guy? I've never even heard of him.

I don't wanna go back inside :(

Exhibition Hall...I think I'm supposed to be networking in here or something, but I'm horrible about networking; it's like advertising yourself and who wants to do that? Incidentally, my first book Quiet, Please will be in bookstore across the country in April 2008!

Ugh! Another boring workshop!

Going home at last!
