"Don’t pay too much! I know a couple of librarians who paid to go to private institutions or otherwise very expensive schools to get their MLIS. I would advise you not to do this. The MLIS that you receive is pretty much the same no matter where you go and the big difference is the debt you have when you’re done. You probably won’t get paid more if you go to a prestigious school and the starting salaries for librarians are pretty sad. However, you might come out feeling well trained or that you got a good education, but most librarians I talk to and many of the ones that paid for those expensive schools said that they learned more in their first week on the job then their entire academic career. I would suggest (as sad as it is) to select your library program on price."

Phytoplankton are the foundation of the oceanic food chain.

Phytoplankton are photosynthesizing microscopic organisms that inhabit the upper sunlit layer of almost all oceans and bodies of fresh water. They are agents for “primary production,” the creation of organic compounds from carbon dioxide dissolved in the water, a process that sustains the aquatic food web.

Phytoplankton account for half of all photosynthetic activity on Earth. Thus phytoplankton are responsible for much of the oxygen present in the Earth’s atmosphere – half of the total amount produced by all plant life.

» The Space Between by reine Seele

Two years after the events of the movie takes place, Thor goes looking for his brother. What he finds is not what he expected, but is it enough to bring his brother home? A re-telling of the Norse myth, “The Building of Asgard’s Wall.”

This story contains a hybrid of myth-based and film/comic-based Loki. It is a fun story dealing with an aspect of Loki’s history that I doubt will ever be covered heavily in film or comic. Be warned: this is a retelling of Sleipnir’s birth. Sleipnir is the son of Svaðilfari (a horse) and Loki (births Sleipnir as a mare). No fear though, it is mostly implication.

Taming of the Shrew (1967)

Directed by Franco Zeffirelli
Written by Paul Dehn

This film made me want to re-watch Kiss Me Kate so bad! Unfortunately, other than this happy desire, I wasn’t overly impressed with the film. I do find the story funny, but the way in which it was presented led me to see more of the misogynist-leanings in the story than anything else. Katharina’s eventual submission, I prefer to view through the lens of conforming on the outside, so as not to conform on the inside. The film hints at none of this interpretation. Nonetheless, the costumes were amazing, and the film is true to source. Worth watching to gain a familiarity with the original play, see Burton and Taylor have some fun with the caricatures they play, or to see some outlandish and fabulous costumes.

"My cousin Helen, who is in her 90s now, was in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She and a bunch of the girls in the ghetto had to do sewing each day. And if you were found with a book, it was an automatic death penalty. She had gotten hold of a copy of ‘Gone With the Wind’, and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping time each night to read. And then, during the hour or so when they were sewing the next day, she would tell them all the story. These girls were risking certain death for a story. And when she told me that story herself, it actually made what I do feel more important. Because giving people stories is not a luxury. It’s actually one of the things that you live and die for."

Thor: Are we not two fine fellows, Loki? There is not our equal in all the nine worlds! Come then, give me your hand on it…
Loki: Over all the millenia, only you have ever loved me, Thor. Only you have ever looked at me with affection in place of condescension. Why then, am I killing you, and not the others? Because you stopped.

Hi my name is Alex and I love Thor comics but have yet to see the movie, foreveralone.jpg

Pride and Prejudice (1940)

Directed by Robert Z. Leonard
Written by Aldous Huxley, Helen Jerome, and Jane Murfin

This has to be my favorite Pride and Prejudice adaptation yet! Absolutely loved Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennet! She was perfectly sharp and witty. The interactions between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were also particularly enjoyable. I liked how easy it was to see why Elizabeth was Mr. Bennet’s favorite. They share the same humor. I loved the costuming, with the exception of Elizabeth’s wardrobe; although there were exceptions to this exception. Overall, a fun, easy film that will satisfy Austen fans, as well as those not accustomed to watching older films. I also find it hilarious that Karen Morley was supposed to be “unattractive” in her role.

Pride and Prejudice (1940)

Mr. Bennet: You and the girls go. Or better still, send the girls by themselves. You're as handsome as any of them and Mr. Bingley may like you best of all.
Mrs. Bennet: Oh my dear, you flatter me. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.
Mr. Bennet: Well in those such cases, a woman doesn't have much beauty to think of my dear.
Me: B'dawww! You guys are too sweet!

Wow! I didn’t see this relationship in this light while watching Bleak House—but damn, this video makes it seem obvious. While I don’t think Lady Dedlock and Rosa were intended to be represented as lovers in the book or show, I highly enjoy this interpretation when it is presented in such a beautiful way.
