Roland, the New Celeb Blogger!

Those of you who don't get American Libraries Direct (ALA's weekly email), Roland (from the book) got a nice shout out! Looks like he's on his way to library blogger fame! Way to go, Roland! And remember, you heard about him first on this blog...

For those of you who did not read it, Roland was my guest blogger while I was away on my honeymoon. You can read those blogs here. He is better know for the big interview scene that was published in the middle of "Quiet, Please."

Below is the reference that AL made (it's from the blog he posted yesterday):
How to annoy a public librarianFive suggestions from Roland Saint-Laurent, among them: "If the computer you're working at has icons, delete them all as soon as you finish your session. I don't know why patrons do this, but I will occasionally see a computer station with either one, a couple, or all of the icons missing. Since there are a ton of computers in the library, it's usually not a terrible inconvenience to the public," but it certainly is annoying to the staff....Stay Down Here Where You Belong, June 17

Give the Jerk a Chance!

A few weeks, I mentioned Roland (from the book) had started a blog; he started it, in part, because of me. He was gripping about having a blog but no one visiting it; I told him it's because he never writes anything on it, and so for the past few weeks he has tried to write stuff on a regular bases.

His blog is bitter, vulgar, insensitive, snotty, egocentric, and, at times, laugh at loud funny! Sometimes he comes off sounding like a complete jerk, but I for one say give the jerk a chance by visiting his blog today! You just may find yourself completely not disappointed.

Today his blog was on the txt to reference service Cha, Cha, and I couldn't help but nod in agreement with everything he said. Both of us were all about Cha, Cha when it came out; we had high hopes that one day we would be replaced by a cell phone sitting where librarians once sat. After using the service almost religiously, we both have come to the firm conclusion that Cha, Cha sucks. We've asked simple questions and got wrong answers on more then one occasion.

If you have a horror story of your own about Cha, Cha, feel free to post it below in the comment section.

Roland (from the Book)

The man who I now refer to as "Roland (from the Book)" has finally took my advice and started a blog. You may remember him as the guy that ticked everyone off for making fun of the handicap, while I was away on my honeymoon.

His first real blog (his other two are reruns from a previous blog he wrote) is about ChaCha, which we both tried out of boredom while we were supposed to be working. We asked meaningful questions like "Can God build a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it" to meaningless questions like "What is Britnany Spears' sock size"...it's a clever post worth checking out.

Coincidently, Roland will be DJing at a club in LA this weekend. Go check it out! I think I might actually go to this one... if you want to check out French Pop Music go here for more info!
