Library Stuff

Boston Globe – “It’s been a difficult decade for R.E.M., creatively and personally, and everyone knows it. Peter Buck, the band’s guitarist, who sat down to talk earlier in a dressing room, says that if any of them had been thinking rationally they would have scrapped “Around the Sun” and started over again. Stipe begs to differ.”

Ellen sent in a new blog from Half Hallow Hills Public Library, one town over from me. Very cool.

She’s also putting the pictures up on Flickr.

Thanks for all of your emails and comments. I am now convinced that I did nothing wrong last week regarding my Twitter incident. That makes me so happy and after a week of thinking about it (and getting a well rested break from Twittering), I figured out what to do.

This afternoon, I made my Twitter account private. By now, whoever wanted to read what the “fuss” was about has done so and we can now move on (if you still want to see it, it will be my pleasure to provide you with the “offensive twits”). I have also blocked those with whom I had issues with. So if you can’t read my twits anymore, sorry.

You see, Twitter for me is a release. I go on there to chat with my friends and make new ones. All of my friends on Twitter knew I was joking around last week with my notes. It’s just the way it is for me on Twitter. If you don’t like it, don’t read it (or in this case, you won’t be allowed anymore)

So, I’m back on and will be very careful as to who I let into my circle. Lesson learned.

Update – Looks like you can find the posts from last week over here.
