lkh_lashoutsA tiger calendar, never opened from 2001. Why did I buy a tiger calendar years ago when I wasn't planning on doing tigers? No idea. But I've learned over the years that if I have a real desire to buy something research like that makes no sense to me, to just buy it. Because, one; it won't be there later when you need it.
Packrat much?
Her house must be full of clutter....
Two, because I usually need that book, or picture at the oddest times, but when the need hits it's the difference between looking something up and making my page count for the day, or having to run out to the book store, library, etc . . . Running out for a quick research trip is never quick. The page count is usually screwed for the day.
The thing you're writing your blog in is called "the Internet"
And while we know that the internet

I've found more and better on here than at the local library in much less time on a wide variety of subjects. Goodies get added all the time, too. It's not just wikipedia anymore. Technophobia over a one or two word google is just sad.

LKH's idea of research is pretty bizarre in the first place...for the life of me I'll never understand how The Penguin Companion to Food qualifies as a resource for Seduced By Moonlight. Bzuh?

Why did I buy a tiger calendar years ago when I wasn't planning on doing tigers?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe for the reasons those of us with sanity buy calendars—to keep track of our schedules, to have something pretty on the wall, because it was 75% off so why not...
Calendars do not equal research. Not even if they're the swank National Geographic desk calendars with mini-essays.
LKH, not everything has to be for "research". You might want to try a hobby. Like macrame or something. You know, expand horizons and such. Fun = good.
