Last day at Internet Librarian
Oct. 19th, 2011 08:52 amWell, here we are, the last day of Internet Librarian. Got to the keynote early and got on the internet. Yay. STILL haven't had any back at Days Inn. *grumble* Got no work done, got no WoW holiday stuff started. Eh, I'm such a whiner. It just really does show me how dependant I am on internet for my news, connections and fun!
Had a lovely chat with the t-shirt guy at the Monterey Farmer's Market. He does much marine environment work and is also a fan of Caroline Casey and was up at her Bioneers talk a few days ago. We always bond when I stop by. He remembered me from two years ago, the last time I was here. I was really tempted by some of the colourful patchwork pieces he had but they were too small for me in the chest even in the L/XL size. Doing the Monterey market made me realize that I haven't gone down to the one in San Jose any Friday this summer! Wow, I did it 2-3 times a month last year. But I guess I just never picked it up again this spring after all the illness. It may have ended for the season, but next spring I should really get back into the habit.
I rumbled by the Stevenson House this morning. It doesn't have opening hours posted so I guess I'm not going to find that cache before I go. I didn't get closer than 50m gps accuracy anyway so meh.
I had left over lamb shank for breakfast. The nice things about the Days Inn was it had fridge and microwave. The lamb was from Episilon where I dined around last night. It was quite a nice Greek restaurant and the company was some HP librarian who work in the legal dept so we could chat about supporting engineers with IP. How cool is that? Actual colleagues who do the kinds of things I do! I suppose I should capture the name of the one who gave me her card - Abbey Bowman "information Research Analyst". Isn't that a great title?
Sunday and Monday were really beautiful. Yesterday was grey and foggy all day and today looks to be grey again. I don't think I could live this close to the coast. I do really like downtown Monterey though.
I finished reading Enchantment Emporium. I think I am finally done with that for awhile. LOL It lasted a LOT more reads than one might expect for a fluffy fun read. Glad the sequel is coming out sometime soon. So now I'm re-reading the Shadow Unit stories. I don't want to get all caught up in something new whilst I am on the road.
This afternoon sometime I'm off to Santa Barbara to break my journey with Erika & Reaps before heading on to BlizzCon on Thursday. I doubt I'll stay for the closing keynote although it sounds quite interesting. I just don't want to drive so much in the dark.
*grumble* I'd post a picture with the entry if I could get flickr to load.
