Oh Wow! I haven't posted since August. No one reads this anyway. Here are my Halloween cupcakes for tomorrow. I think they were cuter last time I made them like 5 years ago or so.

Delicious
The last few days I've been playing with delicious or del.icio.us..however you are supposed to type it. You can look at my tag cloud if you want. It's pretty neat. I've also been more active on Facebook because a lot of friends are on there and I didn't realize I was missing their pictures and fun stuff. Other than that, I have been trying to spend less time online. I bought a cross stitch pattern that is really huge. So, I'm gridding out the cloth now. It is probably going to take me a while because I hate gridding cloth. I wish I could make someone to do it for me.

All Star Week is Over...
...Well except there is not baseball until Friday...maybe I'll go to a movie..
This has been the most enjoyable All Star week that I can remember. I got to go to the Home Run Derby with my brother and I actually enjoyed watching the game last night even though I fell asleep on some of it.
I put a few pics on my flickr. They aren't that great. I definitely need a better camera at some point.

The Conference is Over
Well, tomorrow I go home after being in Anaheim since last Thursday. I had a good time. It was my first time in California. It was okay. I had a rental car and I got to venture out just a little in my free time. The traffic is really bad here. So, even if you do have a car, you have to sit in gridlock for way too long to have a good time.
I had a lot of good meetings and was able to attend some educational sessions at the conference. Last night was the International Reception. I am on that committee and I think it went off very well and the food and the venue were nice.
Today I drove out to Newport Beach and I stuck my toe in the Pacific Ocean for the first time. It was just like the Atlantic Ocean to me except I was facing West instead of East. I will be happy to get home tomorrow and back to normal. One of the things that was a bit disappointing about having the conference here is that I didn't once get to eat in a restaurant that wasn't a chain. I also prefer not to have to rent a car.

ALA SATURDAY
I slept in this morning and skipped the free breakfast I signed up for.
I went to my first committee meeting and it went pretty well. I'm in charge of unwrapping the awards for the IRRT Reception. I think I can handle it, I think :)
After my meeting I went to a program about the history of the song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". It was very interesting and we got free Baby Ruth candy bars. The speaker, Andy Strasberg, wrote a book about the song and there is supposed to be a new stamp coming out soon commemorating the 100th anniversary of the song.
I had a hard time finding someplace to go to lunch. This conference is too spread out. I wish they would have it in a denser populated area. All there is to eat are chain restaurants and hotel restaurants. Near the convention center there are like three restaurants and they were really crowded at lunchtime. So, I had to walk half a mile to find someplace there wasn't a huge line. Then I just went back to my room until it was time for the Emerald reception. My friend/former boss Penny took a ton of pictures of everyone while she was drinking. I think there are going to be some of me that I don't like on her flickr later. :(
I walked to through the exhibits a little before I tried to get lunch. I was feeling really really tired today so I gave up on that. I think I will feel less tired tomorrow.

Jetlag is Setting In, I think
It's my second night in California and I still feel like it's three hours later. So, I'm feeling really tired and waking up way too early.
This morning I went to this place called the Original Pancake House and I had a pancake that was more like an apple pie. It was really really good, but way too big. I actually craved salad at lunchtime after eating that.
I attended one meeting today, the OCLC Symposium. It was pretty good. I got a lot of inspiration from the speakers. Hopefully I will refer to my notes when I return to work. There is a lot of controversy in libraryland lately because there is a group of people who want to do away with everything old and on the other extreme there is the group that never wants to give up the old. I have seen that a lot in the last few conferences and it is getting pretty frustrating that people can't seem to find a middle ground, etc.
I decided I might as well go to Disneyland after I checked and found out that it is open until Midnight tonight. So, I got there at 5:30 and I was pretty tired by 10:30 and came back to the hotel. Their Cinderella Castle is way small. I like the one in Orlando much better. I loaded some pictures of the fireworks on my flickr page.
Tomorrow I have a pretty full day, but I'm looking forward to it.

Over-ripe Banana Recipes
I usually use my over-ripe banana's to make yogurt smoothies but my rubber thing in my blender broke. So, I had some and I decide to go back to the All-Bran web site and I found these muffins. They were really good. I think I'm going to be on a muffin kick for a while.

Bran Muffins Are Good For You.
I made this recipe tonight. I like it much better than the regular All-Bran recipe. I used shaved almonds instead of chopped.

What's been happening...
I went to my first Yankee game of the season a few weeks ago with my friend, Aki. It was pretty cold and damp out. The Yankees lost pretty bad. I don't go again until the first week in May.
Last weekend my brother and I went to New York and tried a bunch of restaurants we saw on the food channel. Pommes Frites was really good. So was the sundae at Serendipity.
On Sunday I went to Cafe Boulud and that was really excellent. After brunch I walked in the park with my friend Nyldenn. We saw a wedding at Tavern on the Green and one of he bridesmaids was smoking a cigarette in her tacky dress. It was pretty funny.

Happy Easter
I haven't blogged in over a month. I need to try to have more initiative for this.
I guess that means I'm keeping busy and I'm just not recording it here.
Anyway, 8 days until baseball. http://www.geocities.com/tocej/yankees.html
