I don't know which is more amazing, that my life has led me to this point, or that in a few seconds it will have led me to another.]]> http://www.mariorange.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120310-092812 Kaitlin Mari Baudier Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:28:12 GMT http://www.mariorange.com/blog/comments.php?y=12&m=03&entry=entry120310-092812 http://www.mariorange.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120104-192848
Let me go off topic a bit and tell you where I am coming from here. I have never been a good floutist.]]> http://www.mariorange.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120104-192848 Kaitlin Mari Baudier Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:28:48 GMT http://www.mariorange.com/blog/comments.php?y=12&m=01&entry=entry120104-192848 http://www.mariorange.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110311-134334

Today my dad gave me a terrific birthday present! It's an entirely handmade shelf he put together from pieces of reclaimed floor boards that I picked up from our local green project warehouse. I spent the evening sorting and shelving my poor formerly homeless books, and I have to say, it's a good feeling! ...But then I got to wondering, as I tend to do, about the exact make-up of my bookshelf (which is too tall to show you all of here, but that's the top anyway). After spending way too much time categorizing them I broke it down like this:

Fiction: 4%
Nonfiction: 96%
A. Japanese Gossip Magazines: 2.01%
B. Yearbooks: 2.68%
C. Hard-bound Autobiographical Comics: 3.36%
D. Martial Arts Books: 5.37%
E. Misc. Nonfiction: 5.4%
F. Technical Drawing References: 6.71%
G. Japanese History/Art History: 8.72%
H. Japanese Language: 10.74%
I. Sheet Music: 22.15%
J. Science: 28.86%
--1. Chemistry: 0.67%
--2. Geology/Archaeology: 3.36%
--3. Biology: 24.83%
--4. Botany: 1.34%
--5. Entomology: 1.34% (I keep most at work)
--6. Books about how to keep field notes: 1.34%
--7. Medical: 3.36%
--8. Ornithology: 3.36%
--9. Mamology: 3.36%
--10.Old field notebooks with cool GPS points in them: 4.03%
--11.Ecology: 6.7%]]> http://www.mariorange.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110220-221220 Kaitlin Mari Baudier Mon, 21 Feb 2011 05:12:20 GMT http://www.mariorange.com/blog/comments.php?y=11&m=02&entry=entry110220-221220
