that love is simple just like mud.
If you play the dirt then I’ll play the water
all we gotta do is touch.”

Coming Soon of the Day: Steven Spielberg’s Live Action Halo TV Series

This morning, Microsoft revealed the Xbox One, their latest entertainment system that incorporates access to movies, live TV and Internet Explorer, which is expected to launch by the end of this year. The company also revealed another equally exciting project that is in the works: a live-action television series based on the Halo franchise, which will be produced by (the one and only) Steven Spielberg and shown exclusively on Xbox Live.

OH MY GOD APPARENTLY TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE WAS AN OLD NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED

I THOUGHT THAT ALL THOSE GUYS IN SKYRIM HAD LITERALLY BEEN SHOT IN THEIR KNEES WITH ARROWS BUT I GUESS NOT

Yelling myths at the internet.

The best way to learn about mythology is by going to college or watching movies like Thor and Troy, right? Wrong. For the past few years, Myths RETOLD has been sharing the world’s oldest stories using a kind of caps-locked slam poetry. Or as the site’s author Cory O’Brien puts it, “Yelling myths at the internet.”

With titles like “Charlemagne is Heteroflexible” and “Daedalus is a Way Bigger Asshole Than You Suspected,” Myths RETOLD takes on everything from Aesop’s Fables to the Zoroastrians. The thing about most ancient myths is that they lend themselves really well to this kind of crude and funny, rap/poetry style. They have timeless themes: murder, incest, dick jokes, and bearded men dressing in drag to marry an ice giant and steal back their magical hammer. (Spoiler alert: That one didn’t make it into the Thor movie.)

For O’Brien, this passion for mythology recently resulted in a book deal. Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes: A No-Bullshit Guide to World Mythology came out earlier this year, featuring an intriguing selection of (awesomely genuine) myths that you’ve probably only heard in their cleaned-up, child-friendly versions. The book’s blurb is in iteself an eye-opener:

Zeus once stuffed an unborn fetus inside his thigh to save its life after he exploded its mother by being too good in bed.

The Hindu universe is run by a married couple who only stop murdering in order to throw sweet dance parties…on the corpses of their enemies.

The Norse goddess Freyja once consented to a four-dwarf gangbang in exchange for one shiny necklace.

Curious about this one-man crusade to educate the world on classic mythology, we contacted Cory O’Brien for a chat… [READ MORE]

Did I mention I’m a huge Greek mythology geek?

Not just you. :)

So my parents just found out about my fourteen year old brother smoking weed because they found this on his window ledge. So in the middle of a huge lecture my dad decides to open the Baggie and smell it to see how strong it is. He immediately starts crying with laughter. THIS NIGGA HAS BEEN BUYING AND SMOKING FUCKING OREGANO. FUCKIN ITALIAN HERBS. SON. I CAN’T. I CANNOT. I CAN’T DO THIS.

“Who else but the librarian is going to teach attribution and Creative Commons? Who else but the librarian is going to be able to filter through millions of research results, then curate and create a playlist of amazing resources in just a few minutes for the eager student? We are vital and we are valuable! Now let’s go out there, step up up our game, and spread the word!”

- Gwyneth Jones, Who Needs A Librarian When You Have Google? (via librarylinknj)

These are some of the reasons I think the internet is making librarians more necessary, not less.

(via thelibrarybug)

I teach a whole module on veracity of information, the CRAAP test, and why the “hidden” web is much better for research than google… and when to use google and wikipedia. Because there’s a time and a place. You should never be citing anything from wikipedia in your paper, but Wikipedia is a great place to start if you have absolutely no knowledge of a topic. It can give you key words to search for and background to do proper research. Back in the day, it was safe to say that most books in the library were appropriate for research and school papers. Now we have more e-books than physical books in our holdings, and we subscribe to dozens of databases that literally have MILLIONS of articles and THOUSANDS of publications in them. It is an issue of signal versus noise ratio. There is SO MUCH out there, how do you find exactly what you need? And how do you make sure it isn’t crap? THAT is why we need librarians.
