Random Impressions of Class Tonight
Automation class tonight. Acronym city. We're talking about APPM (Archives, Personal Papers, and Manuscripts), which is a way to describe archival holdings using MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging). All very dry stuff, but I guess we have to know it. Most archives are moving toward EAD (Encoded Archival Description) which I'm learning how to do at my job, it will be covered later in the class.
Cute Little Textile Library Chick gave me a couple packs of cigarettes tonight. She's been trying to quit for two years and has been bumming cigarettes off me for two years. She didn't have to buy me the cigarettes, but it was nice.
South Carolina Farm Girl's stomach was roaring and boinging throughout class. Usually I fill that role but I actually had dinner before class tonight.
Funny and Cool-Sounding Names Used as Examples in Archives, Personal Papers, and Manuscripts by Steven Hensen: (all real people)

and the title I always wanted for myself...

Quote of the Day:
On the 1st of February, having consumed the last morsel, the captain and the three other men that remained with him, were reduced to the necessity of casting lots. It fell upon Owen Coffin to die, who with great fortitude and resignation submitted to his fate.
--- Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex by Owen Chase (1821)
