Keeping up with Pop Culture

There are few things I enjoy more than taking classes unless it is taking a good class.

Not the snooze filled, sit and listen while I talk and my syllabus looks like a doodle bug explored on it class.

Such was the case on Friday where I got up and went to my Keeping up with Pop Culture class. It was offered by Neflin. It was interesting and fun. But it also made sense with my job. I think I will stop telling people I am a librarian and start telling them I deal in information. And then tell them I have told them too much and ask whom to send the body to... :D But it is true. I deal in information and it is mondo important to know how people get information. Pop culture is a major deal in that it deals with readily available and mass distribution information.

I never imagined how fluid information has become and the ways of obtaining are growing exponentially. I think I came out of it better knowing where people go.

In the back of my brain, I do wish I could be more of a student. I love learning and figuring stuff out. LOL which got me into trouble on Friday night.

I've never been one to play games all day on the computer. But I have also never played a computer game based on Nancy Drew. Oh my goodness. I played for an hour on Friday before B got home. And then got back on about 12 midnight thinking I'll just play for a bit. He went to bed and I was still playing. A little while later, I noticed it getting light outside. When I got out of the game, I realized it was almost 7 o'clock in the morning. I couldn't believe it. It had felt like barely any time passing. And it was until I laid down that I realized how tired I was. Hence you might say I like the game. Just slightly. But I am going to have to limit my playing.

Last night I played until 3 am. Ugh! Hello, world. My name is Eve and I am a gamer.... : P It'd be tough but I will resist.

Good day and watch out for Nancy...she's evil :D

Eve,

Nice blurb about the class at NEFLIN.

I too have experienced the odd bout of video game madness. The prime example is one of my neighbors bought a Wii this summer and I too welcomed the morning with a strained back and wrists, but a big smile too!

I keep up with Pop Culture too... only mine was pop in the 1600s.

The InterLibrary Loan book came in yesterday. It looks to be a great help. Thanks for helping me locat4e it.
