This one is a rendition of Ursula LeGuin's "Earthsea," directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son Goro. My conscience is especially clear downloading this because, according to Wikipedia, some copyright issues are preventing this film, which was released a full year ago in Japan, from appearing in the U.S. until 2009. Unfortunately the reviews I've read in the foreign press have been lukewarm, and apparently Hayao himself felt Goro was too inexperienced for the project, but I'll give it a try anyway. <embed src="http://www.veoh.com/videodetails2.swf?permalinkId=v8846414p7q3rYd&id=360651&player=videodetailsembedded&videoAutoPlay=0" allowFullScreen="true" width="540" height="438" bgcolor="#000000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br/><a href="http://www.veoh.com/">Online Videos by Veoh.com</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091980.post-20750638283190606302007-07-21T11:49:00.000-05:002007-07-21T12:04:13.156-05:00Puffy Amiyumi Cosmic Wonder COSMIC Nagaretabi guitar tab chord transcription<br /><br />Unfortunately, not only is there no PV for this, but I can't even find the romaji lyrics.

A librarian on the editorial staff of <i>Touchstone</i> <a href="http://merecomments.typepad.com/merecomments/2007/07/hip-librarians-.html">isn't impressed</a>. "Serious library users have the same opinion of hip librarians as serious church users have of hip priests and ministers." Lots of good discussion in the combox on the nature of librarianship in the IT age.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kate-Hounds-Ashgate-Popular-Music/dp/0754657981/ref=sr_1_1/104-6309756-1701505?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184377107&sr=8-1">An academic monograph</a> on <i>Kate Bush and Hounds of Love</i>. <br /><br />I decided against the China job. My initial idea was to go there only long enough to snare a Chinese wife with the lure of American citizenship, but given my track record so far I'm not at all confident I could get a job on my return. My latest idea is to try to get into high school librarianship. Although I'm not sure exactly what that involves (aside from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Giles">hunting vampires</a>), I would like the summers off.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091980.post-46551233689396838692007-06-07T10:59:00.002-05:002007-06-07T11:07:41.045-05:00I have a job offer to teach English at a university in Hangzhou. Should I accept? Librarianship doesn't seem too interested in me.<br /><br />Currently reading: Stephen R. Donaldson, <i>The Power That Preserves</i>. His high-flown similes are getting annoying (taken from a random page: "dread seemed to fall on him from nowhere, adumbrate against his heart like the knell of an unmotivated doom.") But curiosity about how this thing is going to end compels me to keep reading.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091980.post-73557786842346210332007-05-18T22:15:00.000-05:002007-05-18T22:26:10.314-05:00Libraries figure prominently in a recent Studio Ghibli DVD release, <i>Whisper of the Heart</i>. (Don't smirk; the original Japanese title isn't nearly as corny.) That a girl would meet her beau by finding his name inscribed on checkout cards warms my bibliophile heart. Unfortunately, a John Denver song figures just as prominently, but if you can get over that obstacle I think you fans of Ghibli and of libraries will appreciate the film. As of this posting, you can watch it all on Veoh.

I've heard that most academic library jobs receive over a hundred applications. It's depressing that the only job I could get is somewhere no one wants to be.<br /><br />But that makes travelling all the more valuable. ACRL: John Waters' luncheon address was predictably tasteless and hilarious. I saw a presentation on federated searching which I think has sold me on the idea. Unfortunately the restaurants in the Inner Harbor area were overpriced and bland (and why do P.F. Chang's waiters all dress like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dieter_mit_kyle_mclaglen.jpg">Dieter</a>?), but I hiked 30 minutes to the Mt. Vernon neighborhood for a tasty Indian buffet. The American Visionary Art Museum was also a bit overpriced, but I liked some of the pieces, especially some paintings in Italian Renaissance style featuring traditional religious scenes (Last Judgment, St. Christopher carrying the Christ Child, etc.) with primates in the place of humans. I might never fly American Airlines again, since my flight was delayed 27 hrs. <br /><br />Then Ft. Worth last weekend--book shopping, Korean food, Japanese exhibition at the Kimbell, and Pablo introducing me to Buffy and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torchwood">Torchwood</a>. Next month it's Dallas for the AMIGOS conference.<br /><br />Reading: Fritz Leiber, <i>Three of Swords</i>; Mine Yoshizaki, <i>Sgt.

The Boss entrusted me to post the job description for his position to various library career websites. I asked if it would be okay for me to amend the qualifications to include the requirement that all applicants be single women under 30 years old, under 5'8'' tall, and under 140 lbs., but she didn't think so. Speaking of jobs, I finally was able to google around and find out about the person who took the last job I interviewed for. He's a Ph.D. student in Buddhism, which makes me feel a little better since knowledge of eastern religious was specifically mentioned as a preferred qualification. I'll just assume that was the reason I didn't get the job, not that I did a lousy job presenting myself in the interview. <br /><br />For Lent this year I'm "detoxing"--no caffeine or alcohol. Actually my motives are as much medical as spiritual, since I'm hoping abstinence might help my insomnia. So far it hasn't. <br /><br />Cultural Consumption: the first six Terry Pratchett Discworld novels, William Morris <i>The Wood Beyond the World</i> (prettily written but the main protagonists were bland; only the femme fatale witch had any spark), Evelyn Waugh <i>Black Mischief</i>, Woody Allen <i>Play it Again, Sam</i>, Joanna Newsom <i>Ys</i>, Puffy AmiYumi <i>Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi</i>. <br /><br />More JPop fluff for the search engines: <br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XPtYomXqjxM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XPtYomXqjxM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Keywords: Guitar tab chords Morning Musume Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 女子かしまし物語<br /><br />Stanzas, e.g.:<br /><br />"Mazu wa!

Last week we picked up 50+ boxes of books from a former English professor. I was hoping that it would be a lot of good lit crit, but although I have found a handful of useful things out of the twenty or so boxes I've been through so far, at least 95% of it is unusable--stuff we already have, stuff that would be worthwhile except for being in the form of decaying paperbacks, and stuff that's just rubbish (a forty year old crossword puzzle book, ancient elementary school textbooks, park brochures, a box of National Geographic maps...) The labor costs of my sifting through all of it would seem to outweigh the value of those things we will either keep or sell. On the other hand, it's not as if there's a lot of other projects I'm working on at the moment. <br /><br />By contrast I'm streamlining my home library by selling on amazon.com. It's interesting to Google the purchasers' names and addresses to see what I can find out about them. A frat boy bought my set theory textbook; a medical researcher from Rio de Janeiro bought <i>Breaking the Spell</i>; a New Age singer from Chicago bought my copy of Part's <i>Passio</i>. <br /><br />I'm trying the online personals again, but I'm not having any more luck than my first attempt four years ago. Just the obviously fraudulent messages from Russia and Africa. <br /> <br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wR_I4TqR7w0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wR_I4TqR7w0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Keywords: Guitar chords tab Stereolab "Pack Yr Romantic Mind"<br /><br />Cmaj7<br />The greater is the beauty<br />F#m7addb9<br />The profounder is the stain<br />D6 <br />Significant of the forbidden<br />D6sus4<br />Transgressed in eroticism<br /><br />F#m7addb9 Em<br />Eroticism<br /><br />F#m7addb9=probably not the correct name but I mean [2420xx]<br />D6sus4=[xx0203]Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091980.post-20095253701994926272007-02-14T17:39:00.000-06:002007-02-14T18:36:40.701-06:00The Kenyan successfully transferred.

How to go about it? I bet a few of my legion of readers are catowners and could advise me. My coworker J.E. is a serial catowner and has simply relied on strays to show up at his doorstep. I haven't seen any unowned cats hanging around my place, but perhaps that's because my neighbor's cats have staked out the territory. On the other hand, I'm hesitant to spend money on one only to find out that it's temperamentally unfriendly. </p><p>In other news, I applied for that teaching job in Japan that J.E. used to hold. He thinks I have a couple of things going for me. First, the company seems to like hiring by word of mouth, which is how he got the job himself, and he agreed to write me a letter of introduction to the director. Second, he said the director's homely unmarried daughters have a lot of say in the hiring process and like to keep a "stable" of young single men around. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091980.post-1165497524491720632006-12-07T07:18:00.000-06:002006-12-12T13:15:27.416-06:00<b>The Librarian: Accomplice to Fraud</b><br /><br /><p>Kenyan track student comes to the ref desk and asks for whiteout. He paints over some lines on what looks to be an unofficial transcript. Then he asks if we have a scanner. I take him to the media room. "Can you show me how to use this?" I help him make a scan of the document; the whiteout smudge is less evident. "How can I send this by email?" I show him how to attach the file to a Yahoo email message. The "to" address seems to be the track department at a major state university. <br /><br /><p>So my hypothesis: the kid had a bad semester and is trying to transfer. Oh well, I don't feel too bad since the scheme is half-baked. The state u. will undoubtedly request an official transcript to be sent directly from our registrar's office, so he won't get away with anything.<br /><br /><p>Has anyone sold books through amazon.com? I'd like to convert some of my review copies into cash. <br /><br /><p>Read: Terry Pratchett, <i>The Light Fantastic</i>; Charles McDaniel, <i>God and Money: The Moral Challenge of Capitalism</i>. <br /><br /><p>Saw: <i>Read or Die</i>, anime about a cute bookworm with telekinetic powers over paper who saves the world from a Bond-style villain.

It's a bit too touchy-feely for my tastes--both literally (holding hands at the benediction--yuck) as well as figuratively (sermons designed to stir emotions rather than teach doctrine, delivered by the pastor with artificial fervor). However, they have a semblance of the traditional liturgy, they say the Creed, most of the hymns are standards (did Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence today), and Communion is offered once a month.<br /><br />The Japanese company my coworker used to teach English for has an opening, and he said he'd write me a letter of introduction (which is how he got the job back when). It's tempting. <br /><br />Cultural gluttony: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/World-Zhang-Ke-Jia/dp/B000C8ST80/sr=1-1/qid=1165199899/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-7909870-6407167?ie=UTF8&s=dvd"><i>The World</i></a> (B-), <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Foxbase-Alpha-Saint-Etienne/dp/B000002LS0/sr=1-3/qid=1165200013/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/104-7909870-6407167?ie=UTF8&s=music"><i>Foxbase Alpha</i></a> (C+), <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Azumanga-Daioh-1-Kiyohiko-Azuma/dp/1413900003/sr=8-3/qid=1165200082/ref=pd_bbs_3/104-7909870-6407167?ie=UTF8&s=books"><i>Azumanga Daioh: The Manga</i></a> (A-).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091980.post-1165109717347474482006-12-02T19:30:00.000-06:002006-12-04T18:20:08.616-06:00A <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Orphans-Tom-Waits/dp/B000ICLHIE/sr=1-1/qid=1165109470/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-7909870-6407167?ie=UTF8&s=music">three CD set</a> of outtakes etc. from Tom Waits. <br /><br />Thanks to Felix for introducing me to Terry Pratchett. <i>The Color of Magic</i> is worthy of a place on my bookshelf next to Wodehouse.<br /><br />Final Fantasy XII is really slick.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5TD8h9lKroE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5TD8h9lKroE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091980.post-1164753198411025342006-11-28T16:16:00.000-06:002006-11-29T09:26:38.963-06:00Books and Culture: <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/bc/2006/006/11.21.html">A Christian take on rock criticism</a>: <br /><p><i>Pop music criticism has grown so insular, full of itself, hipper-than-thou, and, most important, aesthetically disjointed from the thing it claims to examine that we'd best start over—beginning with a rediscovery of the granddaddy of all modern rock critics, Lester Bangs.</i> I took out a subscription to <i>Spin</i> but found the reviews to be pretty worthless, so I concur.
