The things I do for approval...as part of the Faculty Search Committee for the History Department I am right now up at Castleton reading through resumes for the Ast. Prof of European History position. Who knew there were so many German history scholars? I mean really, is it that fascinating? Anyway, it is a long, long process. I'll be here until Tuesday night.

For food I've bought some soda, Chef Boyardee tins and Ben & Jerry's. Oh, and I bought some Santitas chips and some of that spinach dip - one of the most delicious things ever. And apparantly not that bad for you if you overlook the whole sodium thing.

Not much else going on, I hope everyone is still enjoying their time off.

Oh, wait a minute for everyone's benefit I'd like to re-pimp LibraryThing:

There is a challenge about 1001 Books you should read before you die, and I decided to give it a shot. Especially because of this neat-o spreadsheet someone must have spent half of their life designing. Or not, but I view computer magic like your average Baby Boomer.

Spreadsheet site: http://johnandsheena.co.uk/books/?page_id=42

Seriously, download and check it out. I've read around 40 of the books, and probably twice that I've started and put down...Most of you probably won't see this since it's vacation and all but I wanted to put it down before I forgot.

edit: I added a hit counter whooooohoooo!
