PLAY TIME!!!!!
I went to The Generator Blog, surfed the thing and finally found one I liked in the Jedi Name Generator (http://www.xach.com/misc/jedi.html) and got myself a Jedi Name which is Marde Camag. Quite interesting in how the name is created. Then I went into the Library Thing and joined and my address is listed here: http://www.librarything.com/profile/ . It should be quite interesting if I get any replies. I may have to go back in and revise some of my information. I did use the generated name I got from the Jedi Name Generator. For a viewing of some of my favorite books and those I have in my collection, please view the books under the heading "Library Thing BOOKS!"
More Flickr
I cruised around in "mappr.com" (http://flickr.com/map) and found some interesting pictures. I went to Japan and Magnolia, Arkansas (Magnolia AR) which are two places in which I have an interest. I had gone to Toyo University in Tokyo in 1995 and wanted to see if there were any pictures that were familiar. A couple of the library pictures looked familiar, but I think they did some renovations and remodeling there because most of the college was oval and arced. Magnolia was interesting with the SAU (Southern Arkansas University) Rehab pictures by Farther Along. Someone else had a beautiful picture of the Columbia County Jail as well as a picture of the old Post Office and a couple pictures of the County Courthouse which had a corner view of a magnolia tree. There used to be magnolia trees surrounding the courthouse square. A bit of nostalgia there. I also got myself a flickr account and sent a message to the one who took the picture of the courthouse.

Lovely Views in Flickr
In the flickr 4a lesson I found three pictures I liked. The first one was from
a library in Ireland that had as part of their flooring tiles that resembled a honeycomb. It was a Rachel Joynt design titled 'Arc Hive' created to reflect the gathering and storing instinct of bees which is a parallel of librarians and library collections. I sent an e-mail to the library in Ireland telling them about the class we are taking and thanked them for the beautiful picture and the information. I received a "Thank You" in return from the Duty Librarian, Justin Furlong, which was nice. Their address is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dublincitypubliclibraries/399634758/sizes/m/in/pool-13655129@NOO/ collected two other photos of unicorns which are a passion of mine and have printed two. The image of the unicorn titled "Unicorns ROCK!" was /http://www.flickr.com/photos/14468828@NO2/2113353817, BUT I think the person who had the pictures must have taken them off since I loaded them. The picture of the unicorn standing in the pool was taken off a website and its address is: http://unicorns.com/images/products/unicorn-fall.jpg. Anyway, they are special and beautiful.

Then I found a beautiful butterfly and its link is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rich66/437997685/. It is a Blue Morpho Butterfly and if you like butterflies, I would encourage you to visit the site. There are a lot more beauties there to peruse.
