What is on the Librarians MP3 Player.

Hello again

The librarian knows that the posts are rather few and far between, so he hit upon a gimmick to boost his participation The Librarian will, from time to time, let the masses know what he is reading and listen to at the current moment. This may sound really dull and uninteresting to you, the reading public, but the Librarian may get a kick out of it and after all its his blog. O.K to get the ball rolling we will begin with a selection off the Librarian vast MP3 collection:

Here is a track from a Wire, one of the first and greatest punk bands from the late 70's. Four art school dropouts playing hyped up Ramones songs. The cut is 12xu off the landmark album Pink Flag, and is very cool. Here is a link where can listen to it.

Give it a listen. This segment is only about 18 seconds long, which turns out is good chunk of the song. Also, the entirety of lyrics consist of 'I saw you in a Mag kissing a a man' over and over again, and to the Librarian ears it does not get old. That's it for the MP3 collection here are some photos of the Librarian Family:





Here is the picture that the Twins gave their Mom Mother's Day. She was pretty pleased, the Librarian noticed and it was nice.









Here is Iver and Leo and their bitchin pirate ship. Notice all the guys they have hanging on the climbing apparatus that those types of vessels had. If you look closely the ship also has two types of flags- a pirate one and one from non pirate types. It would appear that their was some sort of battle for control of the ship. Man Pirates, they are kooky. The smiles the boys are wearing are classic Librarian smiles from his youth. They may have a long adolescence in front of them. Sigh.




Here is Leo and Iver enjoying a spring day. In this shot you really get the sense that Iver could go on a crime spree and Leo would still think he is the bees knees. He will tell jokes that really do not have a point or anything that you could classify as humorous, and Leo will fall over with his Ed McMahon laugh. It can be kind of creepy.






Lastly, here is Jack in the time machine that he is constructing. Much like the Fabled TARDIS the his dad is always going on about his machine blends into a room that has to many mismatched chunks of furniture in it. I just hope he uses the machine for good. Evil is just not kosher in the Librarian household.


That's it for now. I promise to try to do more posts. And that's a Librarian guarantee.

Letter of the Day

A good friend of the Librarian is covered in glory today for he is the letter of the day for the Star and Tribune- the local fish wrap. Thousands send in letters, but only one can be chosen and philosopher Jeff is the chosen one. I have included a picture a person named Jeff Mock, but not the actual writer- he is a few inches shorter. Here is the letter:

Letter of the day: Torii will have to weigh Minnesota vs. money

Published: May 10, 2007

Star Tribune baseball writer Joe Christensen wrote about how Torii Hunter is dealing with what might be his last season as a Minnesota Twin. It was a sympathetic article about Torii trying to not let his contract situation bother him and how he is dealing with the possibility of leaving the team that he has loved.

Give me a break!

I am a big Torii fan and think he is a great asset to the team. But he has chosen this path and does not deserve sympathy. If he really wanted to stay all he would have to do is tell Twins General Manager Terry Ryan that he wants a five-year contract for $50 million, and he would probably get it.

This is not about a guy being forced out of his job at the Ford plant in St. Paul. This is about a guy who already has enough money to live in luxury for the rest of his life wanting more.

To put it in perspective, if a family made $100,000 per year it would take that family 100 years to earn what Torii would earn in one year.

No, Torii does not deserve our sympathy or our scorn. He is entitled to try to get $15 million a year, but it is his choice if he wants to place money over staying part of the team.

JEFFREY MOCK, HOPKINS

How cool is that. Letter of the day and with such a controverisal subject- baseball players salaries. Of course I know for a fact that he hates Torri Hunter and everthing he stands for, but thats neither here or there. I am glad the Philosopher Jeff came down on the right side on this issue. His glory is the Librarians glory. Way to go PJ.
