News and views from the My Life Work
More than one movie goes by the catchy title of The Librarian. Apparently Vocational Guidance Films, Inc. did a series called Your Life Work in the 1940s. If you've got a spare 10 minutes and 8 seconds, this version of The Librarian is well worth watching. It's found its way to YouTube, Google Video, and the Internet Archive. As a school librarian, I learned that I am supposed to direct young reader's interests into "approved and worthwhile channels." Hmm, wonder what the producers would have thought about our subscription to the Advocate. Or -- horrors -- Mad. Don't get me started on the graphic novel collection...

Oh! I watched that Librarian movie over winter break! It was very camp and amusing in that way where you don't know if it is supposed to be funny or not...
Culture? ORLY. I know lots of anime fanatics, and lots of them think everyone in Japan has kawaii pink hair or carries a katana around everywhere desu. And they also use random nihongo words like that desu.
