Reveling in geekiness
In class tonight we all had to bring in a couple of reference books. Most of us grabbed whatever we could find at home, though a few of us found reference books that could be checked out of the library. (I brought in 201 Italian Verbs, the MLA Handbook, and the Gramophone Opera Good CD Guide. I would have liked to bring in The World Atlas of Wine, but it weighs too much to schlep around.) We all ended up doing a reference book show-and-tell. Among the standouts: a little cluster of reference books on the Grateful Dead, including an apparently very thorough annotated bibliography and a Deadhead dictionary. And, as a joke, The Zombie Survival Guide.
In other news, last week a classmate in the same class pointed me toward ThinkGeek, and I cannot believe I’ve gone this long without either the "I’m blogging this" t-shirt or the t-shirt that says "There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t."
I am so totally in the right profession.
