Media Free

For five and a half days I was media free.
Completely free...I did have my cell phone and text amongst the folks I was with for directions so we could stick together in a crowd.  But I didn't check my email once, in 5 and a half days.  Any of my five email accounts.  I didn't blog or tweet or even watch television, or movies.  I took a few pictures with a digital camera.
Mostly I was media free.
I knew that I was coming back to a s*&t storm of emails and issues waiting for me.
But I took the liberty of (or responsibility of) being 5 and a half days without media.
There was no media frenzy.
Now it has ensued in full force since I've been back and am struggling to catch up, keep up, get anywhere close to what being caught up might feel like (does anyone really know what caught up is?)

So I blog.
I blog because I can.
I have my media.  I'm back in my life and the life that has access to such wonders.
Blogging.
I blog therefore I am.
I blog therefore I can.
I wish you all the opportunity to blog if you want to, and the right to decline if you don't.

It was kind of nice on the other side.
The side that isn't checking email every five minutes.
The side that isn't thumbing as I walk down the sidewalk.
I cursed out 4 people between 6th and 7th Aves who walked into me
due to their texting while walking- not paying attention.  I was pissed.
I shot them dirty looks.
For their sloppiness.
For their thoughtless run-in.
For not paying attention.
Don't I do the same thing.
So many times.
Texting. Texting.
Looking down and up and mostly down.
glance up glance up.
Not enough.
Oh, how I do.
Because I can.
I can text.
I can text if I want to.
I don't have to text.
But I can.
I can.

Read Out during Banned Books Week

The Sherrill Library will host a "Read Out" from 12 p.m. –; 6 p.m.  Thursday, September 30th in the atrium of the library on the Brattle Campus, in observance of Banned Books Week. This annual event is sponsored by the American Library Association to celebrate our Freedom to Read. Observed since 1982, this event reminds us not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. It promotes the Freedom to Read, as well as reminding us of the insidious nature of censorship in our schools, public and academic libraries.

All members of the EDS and Lesley communities are invited to participate in our "Read Out.” Sign up for a ten-minute slot and read a selection from your favorite banned or challenged book, sign our banner, and enjoy listening  to show your support for intellectual freedom.
The library has many of the books on ALA 's lengthy list of challenged and banned books to choose from.  The sign-up sheet is now available at the circulation desk. You may also call the desk at 349-8850. Please contact Patricia Payne (ppayne@lesley.edu) with any questions.
