Bombarded!

Dang, I just got bombarded here at work. A flurry of questions for me, the reference librarian, in a matter of minutes! That, like, never happens. BTW, this article peeves me off a little. So it's so horrible to refer to us as mere librarians? Now we're "research specialists"? Where's my research specialist salary, then? Can I go ahead and order up a batch of new business cards? Can I get a white lab coat to go along with it?

This is what I'm looking forward to this weekend, and probably in this order, too:

1. Sleeping in tomorrow
2. Going to see a movie or 2 with S
3. Catching up on my reading
4. The Oscars on Sunday
5. Patrolling on Sunday (but not with Mudflap) before the Oscars
6. Working out at the gym at some point

And, since I've been known to actually win Oscar prediction contests--ones with prizes, even-- here are my predictions for Sunday:

Best Pic: No Country For Old Men
Best Actress: Julie Christie (maybe Cate Blanchett)
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis
Best Supp. Actress: Cate Blanchett (maybe they'll give it to Ruby Dee but prob. not)
Best Supp. Actor: Javier Bardem
Best Director: The Coen Bros. (maybe a Julian Schnabel upset but prob. not)
