I spent the weekend at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina and I saw beautiful things.

I just want you to know heaven exists and I found it here on earth.

Someone blazed a post with a quote from Michel de Montaigne, a French Renaissance philosopher I studied in college.

I didn't reblog the post because it credited some random website I never heard of and am deeply suspicious of. Do bots blaze posts? Do bots comprehend French Renaissance philosophy?

Things that have happened at this conference:

During a plenary session, with the whole room in attendance listening to the speaker, this man started playing videos on his phone. It was low but still totally audible. The woman next to me asked him to turn it down and he goes, "is it really loud?"

A woman in front of me snapped instead of applauded when the speaker said something she agreed with.

I went to the hotel gift shop and bought a bag of gummy bears and a bottle of water and it cost $16 damn dollars.

I'm on the 29th floor of this DTLA hotel and the views are stunning. I took a cab from LAX and the cabby went, "you here for the library conference?" Because he had already dropped someone off at my hotel for the same thing. He also drove like a maniac and when we got to the hotel, marveled that it had only taken 25 minutes, no traffic. Yeah dude, but you were going 85.

The Instagram algorithm played me a video of a young looking guy saying he was gonna play one of his grandpa's records on his grandpa's record player and it was fucking Cypress Hill.

I'm at this conference wearing my new hot pink glasses and people keep asking me if I was at last year's conference, which I was. And then they say that they remember me! First off, I didn't have these hot pink glasses last year. And furthermore, that is not how I conference. I don't talk to people or network or participate in optional, evening activities. You won't catch me at karaoke or game night. I'm back at the hotel watching reruns of SVU and eating door dash. No one remembers me. It's the power of the hot pink glasses. People want to be in their orbit.

My December to February recap. You can see the influence of Canadian television and American football.

I forgot it was April Fool's today. Then a library vendor sent an email about a fake, jokey product for sale and I was like, "Joke's on them, it's not even April 1st. It's still March 32nd."
