I was looking through my latest update from Booklist Online, when I noticed that the webinars that I haven't been able to attend are available as videos at Vimeo. So I took the time to watch the one about Graphic Novels for kids.
Booklist Webinar: Let’s Get Graphic: Kids’ Comics in Classrooms and Libraries from ALA Publishing on Vimeo.
I found it interesting and informative as well as a way to have my cake and eat it too. I could watch for a while, pause it do something else and come back to the video to continue watching. It was also an education on how to use a visual to comment on the content without reading it word for word. One of my pet peeves is how so many PowerPoint presenters are doing exactly that.

Missed the Hike but saw Crazy Heart
I thought I was going hiking today until I saw the weather forecast. Based on that I didn't even check to see if it was canceled or not. Apparently they went anyway. Meanwhile I washed clothes, cleaned up (organized) some of the mess in my spare room, picked up the living room, vacuumed, and washed the kitchen floor. Most of this after receiving a call from a friend to use my computer to upload a picture to Craig's List. Later she called to see if I had seen Crazy Heart.
We went to the two o'clock show. I see why Jeff Bridges received the Academy Award for his performance in Crazy Heart. I knew it was about a country singer who was an alcoholic but wasn't sure what happened during the course of the movie. I admit I was grateful that the ending didn't let me down. The last scenes of the countryside were particularly beautiful.
