Since first attempting to play with the new network interface for my local library, I've been a mad user. In just a couple weeks time, I've checked out nearly 40 CDs. Considering I'd been away for a little over two months as they changed their interlibrary network affiliation, it's been a welcome breath of fresh air to finally be checking out CDs again.
Heck, even the librarians noticed I was gone and made mention of it when I came back in again for the first time a couple weeks ago. You know it's bad when the librarians remember you. And not because you're a chronic late returner, either.
Well, I was checking my online library account to see what CDs were now in stock that I had placed holds on and I found one in my list that just stood out from the rest. One of those that makes you ask, "what the hell was I thinking?" It doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the holds I placed.
Gee, I wonder which one it is...
Sorry, Katie and I loved the scene in last week's Scrubs when Turk (Donald Faison) airdances to "Poison." That alone made this CD worth checking out.
On a related aside, I'm proud of our library network for not alphabetizing "Los Lobos" by using the word "Los." It's an article and, using the rules of alphabetization, you do not take "a," "an," and "the" into consideration when alphabetizing. And "los" is just Spanish for "the." I've seen so many places use "Los" to sort this band name and it's just wrong.
