My first Friday post

Seeing as someone (who will be known as The Lady Scarlett) told everyone about my super-secret blog, I've decided to post another entry. I really have nothing to say but that doesn't matter.

Someone sent me a cool link yesterday (possibly an ALIA list because that's the only place I get library stuff) :
http://www.curiousexpeditions.org/2007/09/a_librophiliacs_love_letter_1.html
It features pretty libraries from around the world. What is it about wood paneling that makes people think something is beautiful? Honestly, the Stahov Theological Hall library has a stunning roof but would you really want to work under that all day? My favourite was either the Handelingenkamer Tweede Kamer Der Staten-Generaal Den Haag (although spiral staircases are bad Feng Shui) or the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (which was mentioned in a post - http://www.bibalex.org/English/gallery/index.htm)

Oh, I also changed the name to Carp diem : Fish of the day. It's a Buffy thing for all you Buffy lovers out there.

Silly thing wouldn't let me post my other comment. All I said was that the libraries are all soooo prudy and that I loved the Abbey Library St Gallen in Switzerland.
P.S. Your profile pic is seriously freaky.

Hey Christian Yes I heard about your interesting website. I didn't know you were that interesting. I'm learning alot about the library staff through this.

Cheers

kat: I'm loving this blog thing too. Have been watching everyone's blogs with interest.
Unfortunately the weird photo was from last Christmas. My housemates tried dyeing my hair red and green for the season and that's a picture of me washing the red dye out. Just so you know, if you do decide to dye your hair red and green, red + green = brown. I looked like an off strawberry!
