- The thing about spending a couple months reading essentially nothing but comic books is that people at the library have a tendency to say things to library staff like, "So, what have you been reading that's good lately?" and I have to pause for a moment and then tell them that I've been reading a lot of superhero comics from the 70's and 80's. At which point, they ask my coworkers because no one actually wants to hear all of Sara's Thoughts on the New Gods.
( - I have a lot of Thoughts on the New Gods. I don't know how that happened - it is not something I asked for. Also, did you know that in the 80's there was a comic where the Teen Titans teamed up with the X-Men to fight Darkseid and the Phoenix? Apparently in this comic, they all live in New York in the same universe and just...never run into each other. Huh.)
- As part of the Summer of Learning, many of the kids at the Bainbridge library have been learning about yarnbombing this week. So the library has been increasingly more and more covered in yarn and random bits of knitting and crochet. It's pretty great. I'm a little sad that the project is over now and there won't be new things to discover every time I go to work. I'm hoping they leave the yarnbombing up for a good long time.
- Tomorrow, Katie and I are going to attend this years final performance of Star Trek in the Park. They are doing Mirror, Mirror this year and I am super excited. Hurrah, free nerdy entertainment!
