Melllvar is the ultimate fan!

imageWhen I last took my cat to the vet, the attending technician recommended that I put Dixon on an all-wet food diet. After I told her that I’ve tried but he really loves his dry Wellness Core food and is only moderately interested in his Natural Balance wet foods, she recommended some brands. After experimenting with the (expensive!) foods, I finally found a brand flavor he likes: Natural Balance Reduced Calorie Formula.

Yep, my structurally large kitty (32in nose to tail, 14lbs) loves the “diet” version of the food he was already eating (albeit reluctantly). It’s $1.59 for a 6oz can at Petco and I’ll have to feed him about 1.5 cans per day. That’s going to get expensive quickly (~$67/mo) so I’m looking to buy this flavor in bulk.

Any ideas?

Little boxes on the hillside

There’s a high school on the Lehman College campus. It’s new: it was established in 2002, I believe. The building it occupies, however, is not so new. In fact, it’s a repurposed space. On the scale model of the campus (constructed by a student decades ago) on display at the library, the school is labeled as “Reservoir Building.”

Students from the high school tend not to know that their one-story school (with its one hallway and an enrollment of 400 students) was originally a utility  building. When they see the model for the first time, they’re just excited to see a building they recognize. It’s really endearing.

I become what I always hated

Reading the article Teaching Good Sex in the New York Times Magazine reminds me that I’m still very much interested in educating our youth about human sexuality. However, I still don’t know how to incorporate that into my career as an academic librarian. There has to be a way to do both… right?
