Anyone else having issues with Bloglines this morning?  The login page loads and then it just reloads when I try to login.  No error message, no "this is not your password, dummy," just ignores me.  I can get to Bloglines main page, etc; just can’t get logged in.

Bah!

Oh well (if it’s temporary).  Other things to do.  I’m going to the first annual ACRL@UIUC Unofficial Champagne Brunch at 11 AM this lovely Spring morn.

Why?:  Because we like to eat and we like mimosas!  And to get together to debrief about our experiences at the 2005 ACRL National Conference.

Menu:  Homemade waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, country ham, champagne, mimosas, coffee, tea, etc.

Champagne on a Sat morn is way out of the norm for me, but maybe is something I need right now.

Last night, late, I finally cleaned off my rocker and sat down and watched Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt).
It was what I needed and had the added benefit of being short.  I love
that movie!  Have from the 1st time I saw it in 1999.  If you ever get
the chance I highly recommend seeing on the big screen, but only one
with a great sound system.

It reminds me so very much of Deutschland.
And those glorious clocks!  Did you miss the strange way the clock
works?  That isn’t movie magic, they really do that.  It seems so
inimical to good timekeeping, but is so absolutely lovely.  The second
hand pauses at the top until the minute hand clicks into the next
position.  It is simply incredible to see.  I have idea if the
engineering required is prosaic or extraordinary, but the effect is
lovely.  I miss Deutschland often.

I wish I was a writer
who sees what is yet unseen
I wish I was a prayer
expressing what I mean
I wish I was a forest
of trees that do not hide
I wish I was a clearing
No secrets left inside
(Running 3)

I never think
To do, do, do the right thing
I want to go
I want to fight
I want to rush
I want to run
I want to see you again
under the setting sun
We will kiss
We will laugh
We will be a part
of what is said to be
a union of the heart
Love is just the only strain
that makes me live through all my pain
(Running 2)

Bloglines is still acting ignorant!  I guess I’ll quit babbling and
do something more ‘productive.’  Reminder to self: When Bloglines
decides to play nice, export your OPML to file again because it is way out of date.  I guess I should rejoice in a Cohenian sense—can’t be any info overload if there is no info.

Update:
Finally got in Bloglines and
exported the OPML.  I have to remember to do that once in a while.  I
would not want to have to go find these blogs again.
