NaPriLiMo is quickly approaching in Feb. In case you don’t know, that means I only listen to Prince all next month.  I will actually be reporting on it this year, however, I realize not everyone wants constant Prince music updates.  So here’s your guide to the coverage:

• The Website — naprilimo.tumblr.com– will include updates
• The Twitter Feed — twitter.com/naprilimo
• The Facebook Event — for joiners
• The Email address –  naprilimo at gmail in case you want direct contact
• The Blip station — blip.fm/naprilimo i’ll hope to post a prince gem of the day
• My Last.FM station — Check up on me & keep me honest!

1. I got Jamba juice Cherry Berry Pecan oatmeal for a dollar.  I love oatmeal and this is the best.
2. I had my favorite lunch near work–turkey & bacon on cinnamon toast.  And someone else bought it.
3. The waitress gave us free ice cream at lunch.  And I got the chocolate kind while everyone else got sucky vanilla and strawberry.
4. I had a jillion really awesome, interesting conversations with people who are smart about metadata and my long term concerns about a data model. And everything was fixed and agreed upon.  We had several disagreements which were all interesting and based in actual concerns for a project, not petty work squabbles.  And people totally respected each other’s opinions.
5. I sent out all those thank you for coming to my dad’s funeral cards which felt like a little bit of closure.
6. I had tea with an aspiring metadata librarian and we geeked out about metadata.  And it made me realize what I’ve accomplished in the last few years. Go me.
7. I was told awesome rare beers would be delivered to me tomorrow at work.
8. I got around 5 awesome pictures when I usually have to try hard for one.
9. It was sunny for the first time in ages, and I realized my desk gets great light, making it the first desk I have ever had where a plant might survive.
10. The weather was perfect and beautiful.
11. I realized all of my coworkers are kind of awesome.
12. I finished a book and started a new one (which I always love doing).
13. Hopslam drops at my local liquor store tomorrow.
14. I made plans to see the movie adaptation of one of my favorite books tomorrow.
15. I did not have to use my AK.

A lot of people don’t understand how a librarian could be useful to sears.com.  But today a project I’ve been helping with should give you a little more insight into that.  Today we launched Marketplace, which allows people to buy over 10 million items from thousands of sellers through sears.com.  So now if you need to buy an album called Satan’s Kicking Yr Dick In, you should come buy it at Sears.com.  Want Letters to Penthouse? We got it.  Perhaps you are interested in the album “Fuck World Trade” by Leftover Crack.  You know where you can get it?  SEARSDOTCOM!

Perhaps you want to buy a pool, a trampoline, a bouncy castle, and a chainsaw. Perhaps you need live plants for your “hydroponics” project or rum flavored shampoo.  Or maybe you want someone to come clean your ducts without ever having to speak to another human.  Or you could get this sweet USSR flag patch (though, comrade, if you need to buy a patch to show you are hep to the cause, perhaps purchasing it on the largest capitalist websites on earth, perhaps you are misguided. though I will surely not stop you.)  I am categorizing all these things so you can purchase pretty much anything on sears.com.

Now I am going to buy balls and an inflatable hot tub so I can make a ball pit!
