LibraryDwarf does a neat post format that I’m stealing for this here post because I’m too tired to think for myself!
One good thing: I know bigger things happened in the world today, but the very best thing that happened in my little sphere today was that I finished up my marking for the semester. Oh, and I also booked in a week’s annual leave, during which time I’m having a weekend at a gorgeous B&B called The Spotted Chook (go there! It’s awesome!). [And as an aside, while I do think it's a good thing that we have a female PM, I also think it will be an awesome thing when we elect one.]
One bad thing: Being very tired at this very moment, and still being faced with the long drive home.
One thing I learned: Talk back radio can be quite entertaining! I’ve been somewhat obsessed with the #spill coverage today, and found myself listening to 612 ABC the whole way to work this morning. I feel like a growned up! It did remind me a lot of being in my grandfather’s car as a child.
Today’s link: The EDUCAUSE 2011 call for papers is open!
I have become a radio national fangirl and feel very grown up listening to it. Fran Kelly is great in the morning and I love Life Matters and so many wonderful shows. The ABC coverage today was ACE!
I’m still not growned up enough for Radio National though I do believe I’ve been listening to it today (or ABC something anyway) – it won’t last but I actually had to work out how to find the AM band today.
The Spotted Chook is indeed gorgeous, you will have a good break there – will your computer have a holiday too? I have been listening to radio national and 4BC ever since I realised there is only so many annoying ads I can stand on long drives, I even got stuck on the country radio station for awhile and fell in love with a song about Cystic Fibrosis (it might be called Sixty Five Roses) which they used to play all the time, I love how talkback reminds you of your Grandpa that’s really sweet.
hee hee – the spotted chook looks gorgeous
thought I’d check out the spotted chook and found the link is broken in your post
, I’ll just delete the bit on the front end. Just in case you want to fix it.
