When you see my signal, unleash hell.

I told Superwoman this morning that today was gonna rock.

I was wearing my ass-kicking boots, I got my evaluation back and rocked that sucker, I had my iced coffee and it was Friday!

Take that world.

The day actually started off highly amusing.

Had to wake up early so I could drive my nephew to school. Picked him up at the house and then dropped him off.

So he's getting out of the car and I'm like, "do you have your lunch? don't forgot your backpack" and then I was like whoa.

Mom moment.

Flash forward to me dropping off children with train lunch boxes.

From there it got even more entertaining. Had time to stop for coffee, got my evaluation and a raise, worked the desk, worked the lab, trained a volunteer, checked stuff in, worked the desk some more and then I was off and headed over to Oldest Sister's house for movie night.

We got sushi, huzzah for takeout! Watched some tennis, good god, I'm glad we didn't watch all 4 hours of that match, I don't know how they were still playing...It was on when we put the movie in and it was still going after the movie was over.

And speaking of the movie, holy crap have you seen this one?



Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters.

Awesomeness, but so much darker than I expected to be.

A lot of funny moments though and I really like these actors. Jeremy Renner obviously you've got The Avengers, MI4, Bourne Legacy, and then you've got Gemma Arterton aka Io from Clash of the Titans and Quantum of Solace.

Plus - and it drove me nuts the whole movie I had to look it up - Famke Janssen the mom from the Taken movies and also a former Bond girl.

So we enjoyed our sushi and Second Sister stopped by cause her and the husband had a sushi date night of their own.

Quotes of the Night:

Oldest Sister: "He kept pushing on it asking 'does that hurt?'"
Me: "You should have kicked him in the head and asked if that hurt. Then called it a reflex."

Second Sister: "Well no one ever says 'you have great dog breath.'"

and of course

Gretel: *after man explodes all over everyone* "The Curse of Hunger for Crawling Things. I f*cking hate that one."


Now I'm home and watching Hollywood Game Night.

"Where's the bald picture of her? I know when that happened!"

I would have done better with the Britney timeline than I would have with the top toys one.

Alright, on to the music:

Upside Down - Paloma Faith


I rather like this one. Downloaded it today off iTunes and jammed out to it for the rest of the day.


So the irony in this next song is that I'm following this car:



Look at the license plate - Auntee M - and then this song starts to play:

Defying Gravity - Idina Menzel


Coincidence?

For those of you who don't know, Idina sang this song in the musical production of Wicked which is based off the book series by Gregory Maguire about the Wizard of Oz, more specifically the wicked witch's story.

and i'm out.

"Have a good weekend. Catch a wave." "I'll try."

Ah, today.

I'm really digging these half days.

Work branch from 9-1, lasagna for lunch - huzzah for Thursday specials across the street - then headed over to the practicum from 2-5.

Work was interesting. Opened first floor, worked more on my booklists. I actually finished the nonfiction banned books one, so now I can work on my Ornery Old Men and Million Dollar Crazy booklists without feeling guilty.

Cause that one had a due date while the others I'm clear until February.

I'm coming up with some interesting characters for both lists, and there's a lot of crossover.

Perhaps I will post them on here.

When they're finished.

Right now I'm having fun coming up with names and then researching why they fit in each booklist.

After that it was back to the desk and then I covered second floor by myself. Which inevitably meant there would be computer issues. But it was fine, our IT was all over it but I had to leave before they resolved the issue.

The afternoon was the real fun. We finally made it through all of our boxes of books and now we went over to the men's building because it has bookshelves in it with books on them. So, we went through and decided what to keep, what to toss, and then stamped the ones we kept.

So we're stamping and chatting and all the sudden Mr. Bossman Tom starts singing Beach Boys.

And I was like, hey! I love the Beach Boys! I grew up listening to their music along with the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, etc.

So we keep stamping and he keeps singing and we have these two internet computers and all the sudden he's like, we should test these so he pulls up YouTube and plays this video here:



So for the rest of the afternoon we had this playing in the background as we stamped and sorted.

It was highly entertaining and as I was leaving he told me to "catch a wave" this weekend.

Like I said, Mr. Bossman Tom is awesome.

Practicum Count-Up: 14 hours

After practicum I headed out to see the boyfriend cause he's headed off to South Dakota for the weekend. I basically watched as he packed up his motorcar stuff and then we went out to dinner. But it was good to see him before he left.

Quote of the Day:

Aside from "catch a wave" of course.

We're driving to dinner and there's this big dude walking through the parking lot and the boyfriend is driving and we're waiting on this dude to walk faster - and he doesn't - and I'm like, "don't hit him". He responds "I won't hit him with your car. Bubba would end up in your lap."


After that headed home, wrote up my practicum report for August, submitted it and now I'm out. Early morning tomorrow taking Bubby to school.

But at least I'll have time to stop for coffee. I hope.

All aboard the Babe Wagon!

You know how there are blah days and then there are really exciting days?

Today was one of the latter.

It all started with the Babe Wagon.

So the NLA - Nebraska Library Association - conference is coming up in October and Queen of the Known Universe and I have decided to carpool.

Since we need to be there by 8AM we'll have to leave at 5AM which means she's driving, cause clearly anything with me before 10 is questionable.

And, instead of driving her van 3 hours to the middle of nowhere, she has decided we should rent a pickup.

And not just any truck, a nice fancy one.

She's semi-obsessive about trucks, it's highly entertaining.

Combining this stylin' rental truck and our experiences this past week - aka getting hit on more than usual - The New Guy has dubbed it the "Babe Wagon".

Which we enjoy and have decided to chronicle our adventures with the Babe Wagon.

So look forward to that in October. I know I will.

The working title is "Adventures of the Babe Wagon" because if we were to call it "Adventures in the Babe Wagon" it might be taken as something else entirely.

We're thinking about getting t-shirts and having random men sign them with fake phone numbers.

1-800-CALL-ME!

and the like.

I'm sure Superwoman would LOVE us for that.

So most of the day - when we weren't swamped - we joked about the Babe Wagon.

Which made it quite the exciting day.

Add to that Mom - who is determined to remain the favorite staff mom - stopped by with cookies and fruit for the staff. We put them in the circ workroom and they were gone soon after.

So they were all thankful and she remains the favorite.


Plus the Library Judge and I had a conversation about the stereotypes of retired librarians.

We couldn't think of anything other than they get bored and become volunteers.

Which is true of one such retired librarian. :)


After work I came home, showered and vacuumed for reasons at work that will remain unexplained.

Then attempted to log-on to my online class for half an hour with no success.

Me, thinking it was just me having computer problems, started freaking out. Attempted calling both professors - to no avail - emailed them - to no avail - and then I thought, when in doubt, call the Library Goddess.

Cause she always knows what to do.

And yet again, she was the voice of reason saying: it's probably the site not your computer, give it time, don't freak out, you'll be fine.

And when the Library Goddess declares it to be fine then all is fine.

And she was right, it was the site not my computer, and the professor was able to email us a link that worked and we went from there.

It's so weird not having an assignment due for that class until September 22nd.

I'm too used to Summer classes when everything is due right away cause we only have a month.

Next up for me though is practicum paper #1 - we have one due at the end of each month - which is more of a progress report really. And then I think there's like a final final paper to sum it all up.

I'm sure I'll have even more to say after tomorrow.

And he came in today - which he does pretty much daily - and joked around with Superwoman.

I was helping a patron but I could hear my name and them laughing.

Which she does just cause I'm gullible.

Apparently cause I'm "sunny and happy" at the practicum I need to be "sunny and happy" at 9AM at work.

But, as previously mentioned, anything before 10AM is questionable. Which is why BossLady always schedules herself to be around if I'm scheduled to count money.

Just cause she knows about every 10 minutes she'll hear me yelling for her.

But I can't help it if it doesn't add up right.


So work was fun and class turned out okay, now Carter and I are watching Robin Hood.

The original animated movie from the 70's.

"Hiss! You're never around when I need you!"

This was always my favorite of the Disney movies.

Though I don't remember it being this depressing.

I've been watching a lot of Disney movies lately.

That clip from Little Mermaid over and over - scroll down a few posts, you'll find it - plus Sword in the Stone which is under-rated and awesome.

Though they all remind me of this particular Sketch and Edit.

Sketch and Edit Watch a Movie

Based off a speech by one of my friends in college and then expanded upon.

"Seize the fat one!"

Oh, well that's PC.

What's "Corpulent"? Searching Google.

Ohh, I like it.

I'm gonna use it.

Alright, off to bed after this.

The Phony King of England - Robin Hood


"Who's driving this flying umbrella?"

We have no tolerance for politics at the White House.

The boyfriend and I went to see The Butler.



Sorry, Lee Daniels' The Butler.

But apparently Lee Daniels doesn't like having his name in the title however they had to do it cause there was already a movie called The Butler.

Whatever.

Anyway, it was pretty good.

Scale of Awesome says 7.5/10 so good, but not something I want to watch again. Mostly cause it was wildly depressing.

I didn't realize it had that many people in it.

Robin Williams, Liev Schreiber, James Marsden, John Cusack, Alan Rickman and those were only the presidents.

Who were dead on, by the way.

Except Cusack, as much as I like him I can't see him as Nixon. Even with the nose extension.

The rest looked exactly like them.

Okay, maybe not Marsden, but Rickman, holy crap he was seriously a dead ringer.

No pun intended.

You can watch the preview for the rest of the big names but I was excited about David Oyelowo and Alex Pettyfer. Even though Alex played a complete jerk.

Speaking of him, Fall of Five came out today.

Fall of Five as in I Am Number Four, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine...

here, watch this:



Yes, I'm a nerd, but you knew that already.

Guess I'll just have to stop at Barnes and Noble to pick up a copy.

Yes, I'm aware I work at a library and can get it for free.

But I like reading things on my own time and I already own the rest of them anyway.


Not much to say aside from that. Worked 9-1, got lunch and then headed out to the practicum.

Practicum Count-Up 11/90 so we're moving right along.

Did more stamping today. My hands are still covered in ink. Thursday will be the big move. Right now we're still in the main building but we got all the way through our collection so maintenance is gonna move it and then Thursday we get to sort and shelve.

Huzzah! Progress.

After practicum I stopped by to check in on Oldest Sister. She's living it up, sleeping and watching movies with her feet up with Mom there to cater to her every need.

They had nice bonding today watching tennis and eating salted watermelon.

Does anyone else do that?

Put salt on their watermelon?

Cause I think it's gross.

But that's how they eat it. Is this just a weird family quirk or do other people out there in the world do that?

Then I headed out to see the boyfriend. We went to the movie then spent the rest of the night talking on the porch swing before he had to head into work.

Now I'm back and ready to crash. Work plus class tomorrow so I'm out.


Song of the Day:

Tiny Dancer - Elton John


when I hear this song I think of two things.

This:



yes i do watch that show too much

and this:



yes i know i watch that show too much too.

speaking of, GUESS WHAT?!



that's right.

it's on.

"You have great hair, can I touch it?" "What?"

Wore my awesome boots again to work today.

Queen of the Known Universe says I need to get something to put in the pockets.

Something specific but it probably wouldn't fit.

So now there's a debate going on as to what would fit.

Today was Monday but I was determined to not see it as a Monday. Mostly because I worked the weekend and I didn't want another Monday.

But I came in with an optimist's attitude - just trying it on for size - saying today was going to be good and it actually turned out okay. Which was shocking for a realist like myself. Though some may say pessimist.

Okay, mostly I say pessimist but have changed it to realist because pessimist just makes me seem like I'm mad all of the time.

Which is not true.

Just most of the time.

Joking.

Anyway, everything good became "take that, Monday!" aka answering reference questions like a pro, training volunteers, and ordering a banana split for lunch with the works.

I go there basically every day but this was only the second time I've ordered one and somehow majestically Superwoman was there - like she was the first time - and super jealous.

As mentioned, I go there basically every day, so they let me pick my three flavors of icecream. I went with cherry nut, peanut butter fudge and regular chocolate. Then cause I needed toppings - or so they said - I added some chocolate sauce, nuts and whipped cream.

By the end the lid wouldn't close and I had to walk through the library with everyone staring at me.



Not that them staring is abnormal.

Speaking of staring, okay, so there is a reason that I don't wear my hair down at work.

Oldest Sister says that I should, I claim it's easier if it's up in a pony tail, which it is, but it's mostly because I get hit on EVEN MORE when it's down.

Like yesterday this dude was like, "did you dye your hair?" "no." "oh, well it looks nice. how's your day going?" etc. And then I'm stuck in this awkward conversation while he's signing up for a computer and no one around to make him stop talking to me. And the fact that he asked if I dyed it means that he's seen me before and knows what it usually looks like. Which creeps me out more cause I don't remember seeing him ever.

Then today this totally different guy comes up to me and says, "you know, you have great hair. can I touch it?" "what?!"

Um.

What the crap do you say to that?!

I'm gonna say no...but thanks.

Yes, that was a Friends quote. Deal with it.

But seriously? I'm like in the middle of volunteer training and I'm pretty sure my volunteer even did a double take. And I was basically like, "um, that's a weird question." and walked away talking to my volunteer.

He later came up to me claiming he was joking - good god I hoped so - but then continued talking about my hair.

Seriously?!

It needs chopped and dyed cause it hasn't been since like January. So why am I getting compliments now? In August?

When I don't want them?

Not that I want them from them ever anyway.

Though it would be nice if my boyfriend were to actually notice these things.

Anyway, so there is a reason I don't wear my hair down at work.

Even more amusing is the conversation I had with Queen of the Known Universe about it. Apparently she got hit on at lunch the other day as well so we said we should go out sometime looking hot and see what happens.

Perhaps bringing Wordie along with us to scare away the ones that aren't firemen or cowboys.

Don't ask.

It's a long story.

Alright, so that was my day. I'm off to edit some more before I crash. Tomorrow is another half and half day, work branch in the morning with practicum in the afternoon. Looking forward to it.

Song of the day:

Go For a Soda - Kim Mitchell


heard this the other day and went whaaat?

was this a legitimate song? like did it get airplay?


Clip of the day:

Ninja Cat


i'm sorry but this is hysterical.

and i'm pretty sure i had a nightmare similar to that once.

legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

this one longing to be thinner that one wants to get the girl and do i help them? yes indeed.

Yes, I took the weekend off.

No, I'm not lying somewhere in a ditch.

That's actually one of my favorite home branch memories - as horrible as it sounds, it's funnier now.

Basically my phone went nuts and my alarm didn't go off so I woke up late and missed part of work and since my phone was messed up I couldn't make or receive any calls to call in to let them know what was going on. By the time I finally got there I was like freaking out cause I thought I was gonna get fired and they started clapping cause I wasn't dead somewhere in a ditch.

Thanks for that guys.


Anyway, it was nice to have the weekend off but I'm back with a vengeance.


FRIDAY:

Slept in, it was glorious.

Then went shopping with Oldest Sister for shirts for work.

But we couldn't leave the store with just shirts.

Apparently, every female with a pulse is required to own boots.

It's some sort of contract that we sign when we're born.

And apparently cowboy boots aren't enough so I got another pair that my boyfriend calls "camo" but I call "steampunk". They're awesome.

The best part was that Oldest Sister hated them! And wanted me to get this other pair so I tried them both on and then she was like, ugh. I like your choice better.

Victory!

They have pockets.

I don't know what to put in the pockets but they're there.

And they're awesome so I wore them to work today.

And it turned out much better than that time I wore the cowboy boots to work.

Which is on here somewhere I believe. It just happened to be the busiest day that week so I was constantly running up and down the stairs with the boots, my feet were dead by the end of the day.

But today was much better and these are more comfortable. The boyfriend was stunned. Take that world.

Anyway, back to Friday, so slept in, went shopping, then headed out to see the boyfriend. He changed my oil cause he's sweet like that.

Then we watched Heat cause apparently it's the action movie to kill all action movies and neither of us had seen it.



Literally.

Scale of Awesome says about 6/10. It was alright but it wasn't all that. I did enjoy the cast though, they were good.

My problem was that I fell asleep about halfway through - we didn't start it until 9 since he didn't have to go in to work so it wasn't over 'til 12 and then I didn't get back 'til 1.

Which made Saturday even more interesting as I had to work.


SATURDAY:

So I was in zombie mode for most of the day, plus I felt like crap so it wasn't a fun day. But that's okay, worked 9-6, got to clean the bathroom after someone threw toilet paper all over the place, then came home and watched some Charlie's Angels.

Cause it's about that time again. Every few months I gotta bring it back. Starting with season one again.

I know, I know, but if I start at season one then by the time I get through season three I'll be distracted and then won't have time to watch seasons four or five where Sabrina leaves and we're stuck with crap.

Which I can only assume without verification as even though I own both seasons I've avoided them like the plague.

Also did some homework and lots of reading.



SUNDAY:

aka today.

Wore the boots, they're awesome. Will consider wearing them again tomorrow.

Spent the majority of my day working on booklists as Sundays are slow. Found some more crazy millionaires worthy of my Million Dollar Crazies booklist. Sent a copy to the Queen of Awesome, we'll see what she thinks of my list. I keep coming up with more! Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Howard Hughes, Howie Mandel, Justin Bieber, Leona Helmsley, Robert Klark Graham, Gatsby, Tony Stark, etc. etc. Yes, I'm including fiction too.

Talked to some teens about joining TAB and they seemed pretty interested. Been seeing them around lately and the girl seems like she would really like it so I gave them both applications. Hope to see them in September.

What else?

Oh, had the song Poor Unfortunate Souls stuck in my head all day cause I have copies of Barbarous Souls checked out for my mom and every time I look at my account I see them and for some reason Ursula and her eels pop into my head.

And they drive me nuts.

After work went out to see the boyfriend yet again, we got supper, watched part of the VMA's and then jammed at Walmart buying donuts and checking out their $5 DVD selection.

It was thoroughly exciting, just enough of a break from reality that it was perfect.

So, now I am back and off to bed. More work tomorrow cause there's no rest for the wicked.


Song of the day:

Well, the week rather cause I've been singing it ever since I checked them out for her weeks ago.

Poor Unfortunate Souls - Pat Carroll


the ultimate villain song. her voice is perfect for the role. true? yes! 

i haven't seen this movie in a decade and a half, watching it now HOW COULD SHE TAKE THAT DEAL?! seriously?

kind of makes me want to go back and watch some of the other classics. now that i'm much older and a bit wiser i'll probably catch quite a bit more.

lady gaga's outfit reminded me of ariel tonight.

speaking of the VMA's dude!! NSync reunion!!



jump to 9:55 for the awesomeness.

the boyfriend wasn't an enthused about it as i was.

as i immediately texted Instacake.

cause that's how i roll.


and i'm out. hope you all had a great weekend.

Where the hell is Matt?

Okay, so this is a nightly occurrence and it still makes me laugh.

It'll be late and I'll be distracted and not realize what time it is cause I'm watching TV or reading or whatever, and suddenly Carter will come, sit on my lap and just stare at me.

Like a hostile takeover.

And I just know that he's saying Do you realize what time it is? Why aren't we sleeping? in that Garfield voice.

He did that about an hour ago, but I was enjoying Hollywood Gamenight on my DVR so I finished the episode while he fell asleep on my lap.

Then, when I actually made an effort to get up and get ready for bed he was mad cause he had already given up on me and fell asleep.

Now he's sitting on his side of the couch giving me the dirty look so I'm gonna make this quick.

Today was cool.

Am liking these half and half days.

Spent 4 hours at the work branch - nothing too exciting - took a lunch break and then headed over to see Mr. Bossman Tom for my practicum where we sorted and stamped even more books.

And uncovered bookshelves to pilfer, huzzah!

Practicum Count-up 8/90

He gave me a tour of the main building we're in - when we needed a break from all the stamping - so I got to check out the canteen and the break room and the tunnels that connect all the buildings.

There was some seriously cool artwork down there.

And on my way out he showed me this video and told me to share it with friends.

So I'm doing more than that and sharing it with the world because I like it.

Where the hell is Matt? the 2012 version


So you should all watch it because I think it's kind of awesome and unique...and c'mon it's dancing all over the world people.

I was informed that the ones where the faces were blurred out are places that dancing is not allowed.

That's right, it's like Bomont all the time.

You're welcome, people who get that reference.

If not look it up.

After the practicum I met up with the boyfriend in his favorite hardware store. He fixed his sister's car then we went out to eat.

Huzzah for greek salads! half of which is in my fridge.

Then he headed back to go to work and I watched Hollywood Gamenight and now have moved on to Wipeout.

I know, I know, but it's filling up my DVR so I have to watch it.

Besides, I love it.

"Life's a beach and then you dive."

Ah Henson, okay I'm out.

That was your music and clip of the night rec. I hope you all enjoy your weekend. Mine starts tomorrow cause I have the day off and am spending it sleeping in, shopping with Oldest Sister and then date night with the boyfriend.

Don't call me before 10AM!

out!

Sorry Occifer, We didn't notice the light was red, we were too distracted by cotton candy grapes. No we're not drunk, they do exist.

The sad part is I'm serious, Cotton Candy Grapes, but I don't know that I want my grapes to taste like cotton candy.

But maybe that's just me.

Aww, and see watching this makes me want to watch the show all over again.



Though it's missing the line of all lines "We solve crimes, I blog about it and he forgets his pants. I wouldn't hold out too much hope."


I don't really have much to say for today. Worked 9-6. Spent the majority of it brainstorming for my Ornery Old Men and Million Dollar Crazies booklists.

They are both highly entertaining, though I should focus on the Banned Nonfiction one first as it has a deadline in September.

Now they're trying to make me turn them into booktalks, but as I'm not a fan of public speaking I secretly cheered when all the spots were filled.

Oh, I mean, how sad. I was really rooting for me to make a fool out of myself in front of a bunch of old ladies.

Who I'm sure would be completely supportive and consoling.

Well, depending which group I'm referring to, or so I hear.

Anyway, aside from the booklists I had a polish dog for lunch....and some chips....and that's really all I remember about the workday.

Aside from the whole cotton candy grapes thing.

Which I still can't wrap my brain around.


After work I headed home and got ready for my first online class of the semester. We're only meeting online a couple times a month and doing discussion boards like five weeks out the entire semester and I think I have like 5 major assignments total.

So nice going back to one class at a time instead of that whole 3 classes with homework every night thing.

Which was fine, cause it burned through my 43 credits, but still all I have this semester for homework is Youth Services and then at the end of each month I have to write a summary paper for my practicum.

Which I should really look at the directions for before I go in tomorrow.

That's right people, day 2 tomorrow.


Whoa. Weird noises coming from my vent and now Carter is staring at it ready to pounce.

I hope there's not something in it.

Now he's staring around the ceiling like he's following it around.

Okay, calling maintenance tomorrow.


Where was I?

After being creeped out by the grapes but before being creeped about the mystery noises....

Oh right class, it was fine.

There are like 40 people in the class so an hour of it was spent on introductions - and it's all online so every time someone would speak it always started with "can you guys hear me?"

Then we went over the syllabus so it was very handy to have that interaction even though it's not in person.


Normally Carter's inquisitiveness just leads to someone getting bit but I'm kind of glad he's here in case some sort of creature jumps out of that vent.

He's the man of the house so he's in charge until maintenance gets here.

Perhaps I shall call them tonight instead.


On to the music:

Miss Baltimore Crabs - Michelle Pfeiffer


I'm not quite sure why her character was so proud to hold the title of Miss Baltimore Crabs, as it doesn't sound like something you want to spread around.

Tell people about.

Bad, bad, bad.

Tell people about.

Even sadder is that that is the sane version of Amanda Bynes.

Legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

Dancing slowly in an empty room, can the lonely take the place of you?

I'm instituting a new segment to the blog.

It's called the Practicum Countdown.

Today's number is 5/90.

I guess that's more of a Count-up.

I have 85 hours left to go that must be completed by December 1st.

Hit the ground running...

Okay let's go with Count-up, I like that better.


Today was fun. 9-1 at the work branch - nothing super memorable aka bats on the ceiling, crazy stalker patrons, fire drills, etc.

Worked the desk, checked in, worked the desk some more and then ate lunch and headed over for my first official day of Practicum.

2-5 but he let me count my interview and research hours from yesterday so I'm up to 5, huzzah!

Mr. Bossman Tom gave me a tour of campus - there are three main buildings I'll be working out of. The main library and then we're setting up remote libraries in the mens' and womens' buildings for those who aren't allowed to leave those buildings.

After the tour we sorted and stamped books.

Every single stamp all I could think of was this:



Indiana Jones - the good one.

I know, I'm such a nerd.

But you knew that already and you're still here so....

Anyway, we stamped mega amounts of books. Mostly fiction but it's a work in progress. These were all from the booksale our library hosted last year and there were like 10 boxes of them. No, probably more, more like 15.

But it was good cause it gave me stuff to do for hours.

Basically we divided what was going to go in the womens' and what was going in the mens'. And then he had special stamps for each.

The maintenance staff has volunteered to deliver the boxes to the buildings - yay golf carts - and then Thursday we get to spend sorting and shelving.

Meanwhile we'll be coming up with lists for subject headings we've included and stuff we're short on.

I'm so excited, I'm such a nerd.

But again, you knew that.

It's a lot of fun, starting a library from scratch. And he mentioned going to the booksale again this year so we'll get even more to add to the collection.

Speaking of items in the collection, I discovered this one today and was super excited.

Keep the whole nerd thing in mind.

"William Shakespeare's Star Wars" by Ian Doescher go here: If Shakespeare Had Written Star Wars It might have looked a bit like this.

Yay Buzzfeed.

Totally putting that one on hold for myself. Shakespeare + Star Wars = How can you go wrong?

OH! And Mr. Bossman Tom took my side and chose Star Wars over Trek so I like him even more.

I'm feeling better about the practicum now that the first day is over. I was nervous before, but not so much anymore. Once we get the collections sorted out I get to man the desk every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon until December so I should pick up a lot of hours through the next couple months.

I was told today by two different people - Queen of the Known Universe and The Cool Aunt - that I shouldn't say "man the desk" as I am not a man. QoftKU says I should use "staff the desk" but I'm going with the Cool Aunt who said I should say "woman the desk" cause I find it amusing. And true.

After the stamping of awesomeness I met up with The Cool Aunt for some jalapeno margaritas.

I know you're all jealous. Well, the majority of you were on Facebook at least. Though Slim Shady is still not a fan of them. Missing out on life woman, missing out on life.

Dinner was good, though she wouldn't let me pay!

"You said last time I could pay this time."
"I know, I lied."

Thanks.

You should see her and Mom duke it out whenever they go out for lunch, it's highly entertaining.

I don't even try, though I was successful the one time when Mom left her wallet at the store and The Cool Aunt was too distracted by ice cream to grab the check before me.

Take that!

Both had our fajitas. We don't even look at the menu anymore, it's always just jalapeno margaritas, veggie fajita for her and steak fajita for me.

Half of which is in my fridge. I'm sure I'll pull it out around 3AM.

Was good to catch up as we haven't done that in a while.

Our next dinner will take place after comps - I'm also not allowed to say "if I pass comps" according to her and Superwoman it's "when I pass comps".

We shall see.


Am I the only one who has absolutely no desire to watch the show Deal With It? Not a Howie Mandel fan in the first place, but that's just weird.

Sorry. TV on in background. It was Wipeout but it's not anymore. Oh Conan.

I enjoy this segment.



Yay Neal Offerman.

Alright, on to the music.

Uprising - Muse


you have no idea how many times I had this blasting in my headphones today. at least 20. if you listen to it you'll understand why. it's just that awesome.

but i was the same way on my first day of work with Shinedown's Second Chance, go here.

the name is matt bellamy. not what's-her-name's boyfriend.


The Lonely - Christina Perri


super cool lyric video to a great song.


and i'm out. back to work tomorrow. along with my first online class session.

legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.


they will not control us, we will be victorious.

he who jumps like three-legged cricket...will fall like cross-eyed water buffalo.

Ah, a day off.

And I have Friday off too so this is just weird.

But good weird.

Slept in - but only 'til like 9 so that doesn't really count - did some research on BISAC and then went out the library in Mayberry to interview their director because they use the BISAC method.

Because apparently I'm an adult and need to do adult things like interview important people.

And I thought it might help to talk to someone who's actually went through the transition process.

We're lucky though because there's nothing to transition because we're starting from scratch.

Anyway, the interview went well. Learned a lot about the process and examples of subject headings. After the interview she showed me around the building. They're doing a lot of construction and opening up the basement to the public so there were workmen everywhere.

After the interview came back and took a nap.

It was glorious.

Attempted to watch GI Joe #2 but chose instead to fall asleep around the halfway point.

I'll finish the rest later.

Then the boyfriend came over, we watched the rest of Mr. & Mrs. Smith before he headed back to go to work.

I hate that we work different shifts. And live an hour apart. Totally kills datenight having a deadline like that.

Classes start this week so after he left I posted to the discussion board. There are 23 of us but I was the first one to post. So that's a good sign for me, I think. Tomorrow is also my first day of practicum so I'll work in the morning and then head over there in the afternoon. A little nervous. But he's completely laid back so it's more about the environment than the boss.

After that is dinner with the Cool Aunt as we haven't done that in a while. Jalapeno margaritas - it's gonna be awesome.

Alright, all I got for today.

On to the music:

Song You Know But Forgot You Knew It

When I Think About Angels - Jamie O'Neal


remember jamming to this one in grade school.



I'm watching Wipeout, if you were wondering about the title. Henson has some good one-liners.

Legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.


"when i think about angels i think about you."

It's only fear after all.

Yes, I know I didn't post yesterday but I was all ranty and no one wants to read that.

Despite being all ranty the workday wasn't awful.

Spent the morning at the work branch and then the afternoon with Joe Studley at the home branch.

The other person on duty went home sick so they moved me over leaving only 4 people to cover the entire 4 floor building. And when I left 2 of those 4 were at lunch so...

That had to have been fun.

Joe and I had fun, but we always have fun.

After work I watched some Wipeout, did some more editing, and caught up with Sketch.

Today was much better, as you can tell I'm not all ranty so that's always a good sign.

Finally got to see the boyfriend after like a week. Our schedules have just not matched up. If he gets moved to second and it's like this on a regular basis I'm going to be ranty all the time.

We watched Dream House.



It was messed up, Scale of Awesome says 6/10.

I was entertained but confused about many things.

But it's okay, the movie was good for something as immediately following filming Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig got married.

Yes, she's officially a Bond Babe now.

After that got over we watched a little of Mr. and Mrs. Smith - which I love and I'm going to force him to watch the rest tomorrow if he's able to come up here. Again, I hate scheduling.

When did dating become about scheduling? It shouldn't come down to that, you know? Part of me wants to get married just so that it's easier on us.

Though the other part of me remains a girl about the whole thing, but it's his job to ask so I'm staying out of it.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, today, so I'm a nerd.

Which you knew.

And since it was slow today I took the opportunity to work on some booklists. This round's topics are:

-Spunky Old Men (gonna have to think of a better title for that one, but it goes along with my spunky old ladies booklist, you're smart what would you name it?)
-Banned and Challenged Nonfiction Titles (to go with Banned Books Week in September, everyone does fiction list but I'm up for the challenge)
and my personal favorite as suggested by the Old New Guy
-Million Dollar Crazies (you know like Million Dollar Baby except this is about crazy millionaires aka Donald Trump, Howard Hughes, Joan Rivers, etc.)

I'm having far too much fun looking for titles.

And that was my day.

Well, days.

On to the music and then I'm off to finish up my editing.

Song of the Day:

Fear - Stop Making Friends (acoustic)




i'm sorry but i find this highly entertaining:


though it helps to know what they're saying.


okay off to edit some more.

excited to have tomorrow off.

They call me The Wanderer, yeah The Wanderer

So...I spent the day attempting to not flip people off.

Not because I was mad, but because I stabbed myself in the middle finger around 3AM last night - apparently I should stay out of the kitchen when I'm half asleep, or not asleep whatsoever - and I'm sporting so many bandaids that it won't bend properly.

Now I'm all queasy so I don't want to look at it...I'm just gonna assume it's fine.

I'm still walking and breathing so it can't be that bad.


Today was good.

Worked 9-1, took a nap, went out to dinner with the sisters, came back with a box of leftovers.

We had fun, but we always fun.

Quotes of the night:

-"Gazinta" was our family the only family subjected to this word on a regular basis? It means thing. But you can't come up with a name for the thing, so instead of just calling it a thing it's a "gazinta".

-"Why would I have a knife?"
-"Well, why would you have worms?"

-"Ferticula"
-"They probably took them down cause they got tired of explaining 'ferticula'."

Second Sister says she never gets "quote of the day" but she had some good ones tonight. Though some I can't include.


All I got for tonight. It's back to work tomorrow and then hopefully date night with the boyfriend.

Enjoying one of my last nights without homework by catching up on some Wipeout.

Classes start up again Monday. Thankfully I'm really only taking one - I mean, I'm registered for two but one of them is the practicum so the only real homework with that is just the actual hours on site and then the papers due at the end of each month.

Youth Services is my main class this semester. It's one of those "choose your path" classes where you pick a focus of either teens or youth. I will go with teens as I work with them more often and could actually apply what I learn.

I'm not going to think about October. October and comprehensive exams don't exist on my radar until October starts. And even then it's like the third week.

Plus I got my comrade who's taking them the same time. We'll meet up for coffee and go over sources. Which is allowed. As long as we don't write the papers together.

That makes me freak out about it less.

Okay, off to bed. Should enjoy this whole sleep before midnight thing while I can.

Hope you had a good one.


Song of the Day:

The Wanderer - Dion


classic.

Hummingbirds are the vampires of the flower world.

I like that Big Bang Theory is so universal that I say one quote and everyone knows it's Sheldon.

Mahalo for nothing, Hawaii. 

I remember when this show was still new. Sensory memory brings back my big silver TV and college bunk bed.

Scooby Doo sheets.

Oh yeah, I was one of those.

Speaking on behalf of all women, we had a meeting, it's not gonna happen. 

Today was nice.

Don't remember really anything about the work day except flailing to the geek squad about computer stuff.

After work I came back and watched Major Crimes and Big Bang Theory.

It was in the midst of a MC marathon that BBT started playing in the background and I switched. Originally watching it on TV but then the commercials were taking too long so I put in the DVD.

But it was right before the 100th episode so they were really good.

I am so tired right now that I can't sit up straight so I'm gonna be out soon.

Apparently having a night off and spending it editing and watching TV makes me exhausted.

Yay for relaxation.

But I'm gonna sleep while I'm motivated to.

I know, I'm boring. Sorry. Usually I'm more entertaining than this.

Will be better tomorrow.

Or will attempt to be better tomorrow.

Leaving you music-less for once cause I'm too tired to turn on music shuffle and then search for video.

Carter and I are gonna crash.

After he gets off my pillow.

Legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

Here, watch this.



That will fix things.

Some are reaching, Few are there, Wandering from a hero's chair.

Today was one for the record books.

I broke a door.

Not on purpose.

I'll get there.

Staff meeting in the morning. Presented on the conference I attended before camp at the boyfriend's library.

Huzzah for new teen material. I bought two of the books tonight - I'll get there too.

I learned a lot at the conference but the highlights I relayed were: "make your fiction seem like nonfiction. if it's not believable then no one will finish it," and "if your characters say 'do it my way' you do it their way or you'll have a crappy book", but I forgot "writing is the next best thing to napping". woops.

I enjoy writers. They are highly entertaining.

After the meeting I checked in magazines, trained a volunteer on how to scan media, worked the desk, got a hamburger for lunch, and all was fine and boring until I broke the door.

Okay first off, it wasn't my fault. I was going into the bathroom and the stall door just fell off.

Like literally fell off.

Dropped and bounced.

I screamed like a teenager, so loud that a coworker busted in freaking out.

We looked and there were metal shavings on the ground. Apparently the door hinge had been on its way out for a while, it just happened to officially fall when I was there to take the blame.

The best part of the whole situation was having to explain it to my supervisor cause he had to call to get it fixed.

Of course Superwoman was gone, Girlscout was in a meeting, BossLady was at lunch, so I went downstairs to Supervisor Alley and there was the Old New Guy sitting innocently at his desk...

He found it entertaining.

I did too.

After the whole shock factor wore off.

It literally just dropped and bounced.

And what would you have done in that situation other than scream and attempt to catch it?

Let it drop I guess.

It was a lot heavier than I thought it would be so I just ended up leaning it against the wall.

And then of course I had to take a picture.



Woops.

Door Killer.

Don't know my own strength.

Anyway, after that disaster things calmed down a bit 'til Mom showed up and scared the crap out of me at the desk.

But she brought zucchini bread and catfood so it's okay.

Shouldn't mix those two up, that'd be bad.

Saving the bread for breakfast tomorrow, yay for food in my fridge!

After things had calmed down I took a break to call another librarian. For my practicum we're setting up that remote library and we're going to use BISAC instead of Dewey so on Monday - my day off - I'm going to go visit a library using BISAC and talk to their librarian.

It's the one in my college town so maybe I'll swing by campus just for fun.

Not.

And Mr. Tom aka my Mr. Bossman Sir for my practicum says it will count toward my hours as it is for research purposes.

Huzzah!

Should be fun.

After work I met up with the Queen of Awesome for supper and a trip to Barnes and Noble.

Bought far too many books, but who doesn't while in Barnes and Noble?

I need to just go in there with a set list and not sway from it.

But that won't happen.

Got Second Sister's birthday present - which was the original intent - ate some good food, talked some girl talk, it was good to catch up as we haven't in a while.

And then of course ran into Oldest Sister, Squirt and Squirt's BFF in the parking lot.

They were headed where we ate supper, but as it was freezing in there we had left and were headed back to Barnes and Noble to jam in the much warmer cafe area.

"My cat weighs 23 pounds and 6 ounces."
"I have a child who weighs less than that."

Should really turn this dinner out thing into a monthly deal just for sanity purposes.

Bought another novel while we were there cause I had forgot about it until I saw something like it.

Huzzah for Richard Castle.

He is wicked awesome.

After our night out on the town I hit up Target for groceries. Cause for some weird reason I buy them there instead of an actual grocery store. Probably because I get my media, shoes, and all that there too, I'm all about one-stop shopping.

Came home, fed the cat, now I'm jamming out and watching Wipeout re-runs cause my DVR is full.

Gonna post this and crash.

No Envy, No Fear - Joshua Radin


posted this back in 2011, the night before my last day at the home branch.

sad sad day.

really like his music.

Legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

Okay, I'm off to the races. Literally.

So this afternoon was kind of a blur.

There was so much going on that my head almost exploded.

But that's okay cause tonight made up for it.

And the day started off just fine...

Got the last parking spot - leaving earlier tomorrow, stupid construction taking up half the lot - checked in the new books, put out all the stuff for display, shelved DVDs, sorted carts, worked the desk, planned for my Catching Fire party - gonna be awesome, more details on that one to come - and then 5:00 rolls around and there are only 4 of us there to close, 2 for each floor which is fine until 1 of the 1st floor people leaves to count the money leaving the other person completely alone.

After she left to count I had a guy come up with over $500 in fines wanting me to waive them cause his card was stolen, then didn't understand why I wouldn't and instead told him to fill out a waiver form. But then he wouldn't leave and just stood at the desk for 10 minutes watching me help other patrons like I was going to change my mind. Sorry dude, don't have that kind of authority. Then there was the guy who wanted to get a library card but I couldn't understand what he was saying so I kept making him repeat everything. Then there was another dude who was looking for books I guess he had turned in earlier that day and he didn't understand why I wouldn't drop everything I was doing to help these two patrons ahead of him in line just to find those books, thankfully by that time InfoMan had come to save me.

By the time I got out of there there was no looking back. Made it to the races right as the warmups were starting. My first race there ever, which is weird for a southern Nebraska girl to say apparently.



I can now say, from experience, that there are all kinds that come to races, but the most prominent would definitely be the beer-drinking redneck.

I was surrounded by cowboy boots and baseball caps.

But I got to see my "mom" aka my surrogate mother from back home. I would spend a lot of my summers hanging out with her kids at their house. Though I think they spent even more at my house playing DDR and throwing crackers at the TV.

"Hey Carson!"

Was cool to jam with her. Introduced her to the boyfriend, think she met him before P Squared - the daughters - have. Woops.

The races were fun. I think the boyfriend was surprised I made it through the whole night without complaining. Like he was with the motorcar trip. Went by a lot faster than expected and after them we went over to meet his favorite driver. Got to go in the semi so he could buy a shirt and then I took his picture with him and with the car - see Facebook.

Rednecks are awesome, I grew up surrounded by them, as a farm kid there's no escaping that joy, but can someone explain the whole "take a tire home with you" thing?

Like the drivers give them tires to take home.

Not like the whole thing, just the rubber part. What are you going to do with it? It's too big to hang on the wall. Do you make it into a chair?

I'm just lost and confused as to this aspect of racing. Maybe you can shed some light.

And that's all I got for today. Music and I'm out, big day tomorrow.


Convoy - CW McCall


heard this on the way back and i had to laugh. was surrounded by trucks after coming out of the races. huzzah for CB radios.

omaha?!

You could buy a house and run away from it.

You know you're having a weird day when your dentists emails you with an eBook question.

In the middle of a Monday.

I didn't even know how to handle that, like, wait what?

Directed them to the troubleshoot email on the website.

Then stared at my phone for another 5 minutes in confusion.


Today flew by fairly quickly. Training at the Commission in the morning, crazy crowd in the lab at noon and then a slowed down afternoon doing supplies and working Youth Services.

After work went out to see the boyfriend. Finally saw We're The Millers.



Was so excited for this one even before previews came out.

Scale of Awesome says 7/10, it was pretty amusing but not something I'd watch over and over. I will rent it when it comes out at the library though.

Sat outside for a while before heading back, which reminds me I'm missing the meteor shower but I'm too tired to go look.

Smo's here sleeping as I should be as well.

Quote of the night:

Men are like oranges, you never know what you're gonna peel.

He may be sweet, he may be sour.

Sounds vaguely dirty but really isn't.

And I'm out.

"If there's ever a Church of Sheldon this will be when it started."

Stupid SpongeRobert, get in the hole!

This weekend was huge.

I'm exhausted.

I feel old.

Though I was told this morning by my nephew that since I'm not married I'm not a grown up.

So I've got that going for me.

We asked him what about Laverna - my 96-year-old great aunt - cause she's not married and he says that she must not be a grown up either.


Okay so yesterday was Tee it up for Tuition the annual golf tournament fundraiser for my old high school. 2G dominated.

This year we were at a different course with almost double the amount of teams.

Which is both good and bad.

It's good because it means more money for the school but bad because it means we had to wait at each and every hole.

And when we get stuck waiting Pastor gets bored and hits balls into cornfields.

Which is why I brought my bag full of throwaways.

Huzzah.

I, myself, stuck with my colored balls.

I hate Spongebob with a passion so I enjoy smacking the crap out of the ones with his face on them.

And hit one into a water hazard on purpose to send him back to his stupid pineapple under the sea.

I started with a box of 8 I finished with 2.

We par-red out. We were one up at one point and then the last whole put us even.

It was a lot of fun. We're really goofy and not really in it to win it - mostly because the winning team this year golfed a 15 under par. So yeah, a bit off of that. We just want to beat Hillman.

That is literally our only goal and this year we tied him.

Since we are the loudest and goofiest ones there this is what you may have overheard if you were present.

Quotes of the Day:

"Now you know what it's like to ride in a cart with her."
"Hey, I didn't throw you out last year."

"Here's your snake cake."

"Fly by the seat of your phone."

"Blow a gasket if you have to!"
"I didn't know I had one but I will."

"Port-a-John."

"The guy with the girl name."

"Thanksgiving! Lutheran Church. We need more exclamation points at our church."

"SpongeRobert!"


This is our 4th year though year 1 was before I started the blog so I only have years 2: Our Drinking Team Has a Golfing Problem and 3: Bob of Sponge, Won't You Come? Won't You Come?

As you can see not much has changed.

The new course was nice, but not so nice was the fight that broke out over dinner - seriously? between one of the golfers on the other team and a random drunk dude - the long wait for prizes and then the 2 hour drive back.

So we're saying, move it back! Move it back!

Or closer at least.

Or start it earlier. 2 is way too late, because of all the waiting we didn't get back to the clubhouse until 7:15. Dinner didn't get over until 8, we left halfway through the prizes - mostly because there was nothing good left but also because it was 8:30 and we had a 2 hour drive left.

If they started at 9 we could just do an lunch eating thing and it would be much cooler.

I'd be in for that.

We'll see if they think it went well as it is ultimately their decision.



So that was golf.

Today was softball.

I love playing with "Who's Steve?" We're like a dysfunctional family but it works for us.

We put the fun in dysfunctional.

We've been playing together so long that we don't even worry about assigning positions cause we play the same spots every year.

Batting order we switch up though.

The batting order 5 years ago is where our name originated. In case you were wondering why someone would name their team "Who's Steve?"

Pastor was new and his wife - who also plays - wrote up the order. Since she calls him by his actual name and not "Pastor" she wrote "Steve". When Becky was reading off the list she was like "Mike, Becky, Steve - Who's Steve?" "Um, Pastor." And it stuck.

Now we're gonna have team t-shirts made. And they're gonna be awesome.

This is just a warmup for our fall season so we don't really care that we lost.

I don't know what happened, we started off really strong but came up short.

Couple of errors but really the other team was just as good. Lot of back and forth.

But that's okay, we'll get revenge on labor day as they will be on our turf.

Huzzah for the 2nd Annual WELS Softball Area Tournament.

They came last year as well, Unhook the Plow, we lost the first but smashed them down like the hand of God in the second so it evened out. Then called ourselves the Champions cause we could.

We should get a trophy for this year.

Remind me of that closer to the tournament.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun, I like playing with my brother and the rest of the crazy gang.

As is tradition I slid and broke open my leg. Not as bad as previous years - and at least this year's slide was intentional, as opposed to last year's...I don't even know what to call it - read the link above for the description of that slow motion fluke.

So I got my leg all wrapped up in my gauze pads that I have in bulk cause I know I'll need them each and every year whether intentional or not so intentional.

And my big fat cat is staring at me saying, hey, it's time for sleep so guess I should stop rambling and put the laptop down so he can fall asleep on my stomach as usual.



Songs of the Weekend:

Black Hold Sun - Soundgarden


cause I always sing "Bob of sponge, won't you come?" when I golf.


Raise Your Glass - Pink


i'm posting this version because i like watching michelle pfeiffer's character attempt to dance.

awesomeness.

it took me until this exact moment to realize that they were in hairspray together.

woops.

to be fair her character in that was the polar opposite of her character in this.

and i don't really pay attention to his credits.

though he does have some nice dance moves.

Pop Six Squish Uh-Uh Cicero Lipschitz

Off for the weekend!

2G Golf tomorrow and softball tournament Sunday.

Both with the same gang.

Gonna be awesome.


Today was good. Worked 9-6, huge amount of stats since I got 27 alone from one phone call.

Wanted every copy we have of a book and since our system just had a major software update I got to call each of the branches individually and have them pull them all instead of putting each one on hold - though that's what I ended up doing anyway once the system started working again.

After that the day was cake.

Helped that it was super slow because of the whole no parking thing. I mean, the morning was fairly busy but by 4 it had pretty much cleared out.

That's okay, gave me time to work on TAB stuff.

Not so thrilled about my fall schedule as it messes up TAB cause I won't be there Tuesday afternoons to host the meetings.

But that's really the only way I'll finish the 90 hours before the deadline.

The practicum sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm hesitant because I'm combining it with so many things - another class, comprehensive exams, working 40 hours, etc.

I'm sure it'll be fine. I always freak out when it comes to the fall.


After work went out to see the boyfriend. We spent the night hanging out with his friends. The boys played Call of Duty while us girls played Angry Birds and posted obnoxious things on Facebook.

Hence the post overload, in case you were wondering.

He had a lot of fun, which is good as the whole scheduling thing lately has got us on edge.

My crazy schedule plus his major change in schedule makes me want to kick things.

I'm sure it'll work out okay. I'm just not thrilled.


Watching old episodes of Bones - love Mom's DVR - I miss Zack.

Major difference between first season Brennan and current Brennan.

"Where are my bones?!"

She was a lot more with it and badass back then.

"Listen dude..."


And that's all I got for today. I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories tomorrow.

Song of the day:

Cell Block Tango - Chicago


kind of a nut for this movie. sketch would call that an understatement. but heard this on the ipod and jammed to it repeatedly throughout the day.


"we're about a hundred miles past where Jesus lost his sandals."
"i assume that's a way of saying we're extremely isolated."

I close my eyes and fly out of my mind, Into the fire

Felt like I was gonna pass out today at work.

I seriously thought it was appendicitis for a while cause I was burning up and every time I stood up I wanted to fall over.

Which killed the whole standing thing.

But of all the days to be in physical pain it happened to be the least busy of them all.

So that made it bearable I guess.

Think I had like 10 stats total, which is really bad since I was there all day.

Though technically the first hour I was guarding the music CD's - oh yeah, there's a guard desk now and it's only gonna get worse from there if the rumors are true - then I was at the front desk for a hour which is when I got all of my stats before leaving for lunch and then a meeting and then checking in 8 carts in the backroom in an hour leading into the final hour where we had like 10 people in the building total.

Ribfest, ugh.

I did get to see my adopted little sister though so the day wasn't a total waste.

And the meeting was good.

Our Youth Services crew is always amusing.

When talking about collection we told our commander in chief - aka Cabin Fever - to "buy the interesting ones and skip the boring stuff."

We're so specific.

And helpful like that.

But that's okay, she wouldn't be the commander in chief if she didn't know what she was doing.

So that was work.

After work I did some more laundry and attempted a Twin Peaks marathon.

I made it through one episode and went....that's messed up.

So no more of that.

Which is so WEIRD cause I'm usually all over those cult shows.

Cult show as in underrated, not as in, you know, like a show about cults.

Cause those are bad.

Cults, not shows about cults.

Though I'm guessing due to the subject matter those shows are also bad.

But possibly interesting.

If you followed that you're a genius.

I lost myself.

New topic.

Anyway, so to drown out all that weirdness I turned on some Wipeout - cause that doesn't have "weird" written all over it - and played some Lords of the Realm 2 - also doesn't scream "weird" even when played by a girl in 2013 sitting next to a cat shaved like a lion.

That's right, it's back!

Or it should be!

But I have a feeling if they tried to revamp it it'd turn out like the new You Don't Know Jack game.

Not as good as the original.

Yay 90's.

Don't like the new host.

Not the same.

Kills the whole game.

Anyway, I'm a nerd.

But you knew that, it's part of the reason you're here.

So nerdy in fact that the nights I don't spend with my boyfriend I spend with my cat playing video games, watching TV, editing or doing homework.

Cause other than that I really have no life.

Which is fine by me, actually I kind of prefer it that way.

Though this weekend has a lot going on. Golf tournament on Saturday followed by a softball tournament on Sunday.

That's right, 2G's at it again!! but this time we're on a new course. Hope their drink cart lady follows us around too.

Our drinking team has a golfing problem.

Cause we suck, but when there is liquor we don't notice we suck, we just get louder. And then everyone wants to join our team.

No, Pastor's pretty good, as is Homey G-Wigger now that she's got her Packer clubs.

But we really don't care about winning, our only goal is to beat Hillman and his team of ringers.

Although apparently Juwanna - aka the high school roommate - is playing this year so a new challenge.

It's on.

And that's all I got.

Must put laptop down so I can pack for massive weekend.

On to the music:

Throwback Thursday

Song You Know But Forgot You Knew It 

Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin


yay 90's.

and I'm out.

"And it gets worse." "How could it get worse?" "They dance."

Yay for Major Crimes.

If you haven't seen this week's episode you should watch it now.

Online if you have to, cause it's highly entertaining.

And if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you're missing out on life.

Especially if you missed out on The Closer, the show that came before it and has evolved into what is now Major Crimes.

Which I got multiple people hooked on.

Cause it rocks.

Rocked.

Well, Brenda Leigh still rocks, only now she just rocks on DVD.

Wondering how they're going to pull off the trial episode cause she'll have to make a reappearance as a witness.

Though I'm guessing it'll be years before that actually takes place.

Here watch this, it's also highly entertaining.



They did end up using that first "what" because I remember rewinding it over and over just to hear it.

Dang those non-union flies.

That's how I would sign all of my documents if I was her.


Today was awesome.

Worked 9-6 - huge amount of stats today though I'm guessing that will stop for a few days since we'll have no parking until Monday.

Ugh, Ribfest.

It was so funny the Old New Guy and I walked out together a couple days ago when they were just starting to set up and went "ah crap" at the same time.


After work came home and stayed there for the first time since last week.

This is literally the first night that I did absolutely nothing.

Except clean.

Lots and lots of cleaning.

And I finished Zero Hour.

I didn't know it was possible for it to get any weirder after that whole cloning thing but the way it ended....just....weird....to the extreme.

Revelations come to life but not.

Like the book of Revelations.

Along with character revelations too I guess.

Though I did cheer at the very last second to see the little boy and Vincent. That was good.

The rest was weird.

But I like the religious conspiracy stories - I had this conversation with a patron today - that's why I love the DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons.

AND I WILL finish the Lost Symbol before the movie comes out, it's on. I have two copies - one in my apartment and one in my locker.

It's just the whole time to read it thing escapes me.

Mostly because if I have the time to read anything it's as an editor - which I love cause Demi rocks as does her writing - I'm so far behind on any of my projects it's ridiculous.

I blame school.

Once that's over I'll have time.

Especially if the boyfriend does get switched to second shift, then I'll have nothing but free time all week.


Anyway, so the day flew cause we were swamped, got time to relax with my big fat cat after cleaning my apartment, many cat pictures were taken and uploaded to Facebook just to challenge the cat picture quota that Sketch mentioned.

Don't worry, I'm not actually one of those stereotypical librarians.

Though if he does get moved to second I might become one.

But Carter's so cute!

And with the haircut he looks like a lion with combat boots.



Cat in a box.

How can anyone resist that?

Okay, I'm done for the night, I promise.

Song of the day:

Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon


Yay for cheesy 80's music videos.

That's a snazzy jacket.

He should wear that all the time.

With that haircut please.


Saw this commercial and it reminded me of something I forgot to include yesterday.



Cause it's dumb but funny and we said that about it yesterday.

Anyway, we were at the lake and on the dock and he mispronounced a city's name but for the life of me I can't remember what it was and I laughed because it reminded me of a joke that one of the "Favorite Aunties" told me years and years ago.

Three guys were driving through Beatrice and they decided to stop and get something to eat. None of them had ever been to Beatrice before so they began to argue about how it was pronounced.

The first guy said it was BEatrice, the second was convinced it was BeATrice, the last guy said it was pronounced Beat-Rice.

When they couldn't come to an agreement they decided they should ask someone so they went up to the lady at the counter and said "We've been fighting about it and we can't figure out the name of this place, where are we?"

The lady looked at them and said really slowly, "You're...in...Burger...King."

See it's dumb but you smiled.

So take that.

See you tomorrow.

I'll be here.

You be there.

It's a date mate.

It's on like Donkey Kong.

It's...time to stop rhyming and go to sleep, okay, I'm out.

"You've got juice pouches and Rocky!"

Watched Pitch Perfect tonight with the boyfriend.

Well, part of Pitch Perfect with the boyfriend.

But I've already rambled about that here for quotes and here for commentary and here for the history of the Cups song and about 4 others attached with that tag so...

Still a good movie, no matter how many times you watch it.

And you notice things after listening to the commentary.


Today was good. Very busy but went by very fast.

Twin Peaks came in on DVD.

Cult TV show from the 90's, figured I should check it out.

That's really all I remember from the work day. Went out to see the boyfriend after. Dinner then back to the lake.


"No, but I can name all the Kardashians."

Also watched some Big Bang Theory, which is what I have on right now.

They're on a mission to find the guy who stole Sheldon's World of Warcraft possessions.

"This ain't no Beyonce."

That's really all I got for today.

I know, I'm boring.

I braved the microwave for the first time since the smoke-filled apartment adventure. Turns out my popcorn button does work, thinking that I hit the chicken/fish button by mistake.

Which is good, cause I'm addicted to popcorn so having to sit there or set an alarm would be annoying.

Only problem now is that the popcorn smells like smoke.


Okay, now that's all I got.

Music - Hear this one every time I listen to the radio with him.

I Want Crazy - Hunter Hayes


but we are looking for a new song since most people wouldn't understand why Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go is linked to our relationship.

play practice. break between scenes. portable CD player and a sticky note telling me what track to listen to.

Facebook newsfeed makes me feel like such a stalker.

Facebook newsfeed makes me feel like such a stalker.

She got married?!

He's going back to school?!

She's pregnant?!

Wait, his kid is how old?!

And then it makes me feel old because all of these people are either my age or younger.

Smo is sleeping on my couch - well, studying on my couch - so I'm yelling it all at her but she didn't know either. So I don't feel completely out of the loop, though I have been swamped lately.

First day back at work after being gone for a week and a half. Always hard to go back, but it's worth it.

Today was good, dredged through my 150 missed emails and like 30 incident reports all for stolen items - good god seriously? - updated the TAB website, sent out instructions on volunteer application process - cause it was inconsistent and I'm sick of it - sorted through CD cases - joy and excitement. Tomorrow will be more of the same.

After work went out to see the boyfriend. Pizza Hut for supper and then out to the lake.



What has come to be known as "our spot" is usually relaxing but tonight the teenagers were having a party and blasting really crappy music. We could hear it loud and clear even though they were at the other end of the lake. We were tempted to call the cops just to tell them to play better music but we held off.

I should also mention you can only get to "our spot" by climbing over about 20 giant rocks that move when you step on them. And apparently I'm not the agile farm girl who once climbed to the top of the quonset anymore.

If you don't know what a quonset is it's basically like a giant round building in which you keep your farm equipment such as tractors and combines. Go here

Anyway, it's big.

But snow had drifted against it and I thought, hey I can climb that. So I did.

Mom freaked. Dad got the camera.

One of many defining parental moments.

Other than the crappy music the night was good. Watched some PopUp video on VHS, ran into an old friend at Walmart, showed him the Rebel Wilson and Independence Day videos posted here this week.

Calling it a victory.

On to the music.

Had two songs stuck in my head all day. The second I listened to at lunch so there was reason for that one but the first....no reason to be in my head whatsoever.

The White Stuff by Weird Al.

Which I refuse to post because I hate that song.

But I will post the second.

The Sheik of Araby - The Beatles


lesser known of their songs, but good nonetheless. according to wikipedia the Beatles covered this song in 1962 at their unsuccessful Decca audition with George Harrison as the lead singer and Pete Best on the drums.

interesting.

Everything wrong with Independence Day in 6 Minutes or Less

I know, I know, I've been bad at posting this week, but I've had a lot going on.

Camp, then after camp recovery, then the wedding and all that.

The boyfriend's sister got married yesterday.

The wedding itself was great. The reception...let's just say it was an adventure and leave it at that.

Got to spend some quality time with the boyfriend yesterday and all of today. Got lunch, watched some movies and all that.

Independence Day was the big one.

Oh my God this clip is hysterical. Went looking for the trailer but posting this instead as it is more entertaining.

Everything Wrong with Independence Day in 6 Minutes or Less



There are some other good ones too, The Hunger Games, the Dark Knight Rises, go here to check out the others.

Scale of Awesome says 7/10. I was entertained enough to keep me awake but not much more than that.

It was a lot longer than I remember, though I only remember certain scenes since I've only seen it once before this.

Forgot it had Adam Baldwin and Mary McDonnell in it.

Feel bad the boyfriend had to go into work tonight, but hoping to see him through this week as I don't really have anything going on.

And I'm LOVING that. Cause usually I'm swamped with homework and all that. The only thing scheduled besides 40 hours of work this week is the golf and softball tournaments taking place this weekend.

So, since I've got nothing but work tomorrow I'm gonna crash and enjoy that thing that people call sleep.

Haven't been to work in a week and a half and a lot of stuff waiting for me when I get back.

Song of the Day: Two classics meshed together

Where Did Our Love Go - Soft Cell


we were flipping stations and i was like "what is that?" "tainted love."

apparently not, but digging it nonetheless. they're pretty good live.

Oh, more items to add to the Songs Carter Hates list:
-Miss Her - Brad Paisley
-Anything by Train

He's always an interesting passenger. He went nuts when Train played and then went silent for Ghost Towns (go here) so I was like umm... Schrodinger's Cat much?

when you went away you took my cow Bessie, I miss her darling more than I miss you.

Remember how last year I said, hey I'm going to feel like crap immediately following camp so I should take the rest of that week off?

And then this year when requesting vacation I said, I need to save vacation because of all the hell that's going to break loose in the fall, I'll be able to handle it?

Guess how well that worked out.

Feeling a lot better today than I did yesterday, but that's not really saying much.

My whole body hurts, my voice is gone and I'm exhausted.

But I had to actually get off the couch today - which is more than I can say about yesterday - so I only slept until 4 because the boyfriend's sister is getting married tomorrow and we had the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner to go to tonight. Met even more family and then we went to the fair with his brother.

Remember the quarter game he's addicted to? With the trucks and you put it in the tube and then it lands and it pushes stuff forward? We played for hours. Got like 48 red coins and won 2 bigass stuffed creatures. He got a parrot and I got a ninja banana.

I would post a picture but it's in my car and I'm too lazy to go and get it. Perhaps tomorrow.

But it's awesome. I'll put it next to the giant guitar we won last year.

His brother won his wife a giant Nemo, which was also cool but not AS COOL as my giant ninja banana.

Anyway, aside from the whole lady gunning for my job thing camp was pretty good. Had a lot of fun with the usual gang and we are meeting up on Sunday to finish up camp stuff before our golf tournament next weekend!

So, as promised, here are the skits I used for this year's round of Skits and Worship.


3rd boys: Two Suckers On a Stick Camping Skit
One camper is the store owner and the other 3 campers are customers that enter the store one at a time. Ask the two counselors nicely if they will stand on a tree branch on the stage and tell them they're "scenery".
Customer 1: Do you have any Hershey's?
Owner: Sorry, I'm all out.
Customer 2: Do you have any M&M's?
Owner: Sorry, I'm all out.
Customer 3: Do you have any Snickers bars?
Owner: Sorry, I'm all out.
Customer 3: Well, what DO you have?
Owner: All I have are these two suckers on a stick.



3rd Girls: Bravest Camper in the World Camping Skit
MC: Campers, Parents, and Guests - welcome. We have with us today a very special camper. Sally, please come up here. This young woman has proven her bravery through trials and challenges most of us would never dream of let alone live through. Sally is afraid of nothing! She has traveled through Transylvania during a full moon, even camped out alone in a cemetery.
MC: I'm sure some of you probably don't believe anyone could be so brave so I've rounded up some of the most gruesome monsters that have ever walked the face of the earth. Sally will demonstrate her bravery for you. Here comes DRACULA - a blood-thirsty fiend from the old country!
(Dracula glides up to Sally and raises her arms about to attack.)
(Sally smiles and shakes her hand.)
(Dracula dejectedly shuffles off behind Sally while werewolf is coming on.)
MC: And now, a foul werewolf from England - a ferocious beast of the night!
(Werewolf charges in, growling and clawing the air.)
(Sally yawns as she looks at the werewolf.)
(werewolf whimpers away behind Sally as mummy comes in.)
MC: The mummy! an undead creature from Egypt!
(Mummy walks in with arms straight ahead, groaning and mumbling.)
(Sally checks her wristwatch and looks bored.)
(mummy shuffles away as next monster comes in.)
MC: As you can see, nothing scares this bravest of campers, not even the most hideous monsters of the world. And, to recognize Sally's bravery, our leader will now present her with a small trophy. Good job, Sally!
(Sally needs to keep looking out at the audience and smiling. As the leader gets close to her and holds out the trophy, Sally turns from the audience to look at her. Then with a terrified look on her face she runs away from the leader screaming. All the monsters and MC also run away yelling, screaming, and moaning as they leave the stage.)


4th Boys: SFX script
Group of campers make sound effects in parenthesis
Narrator: It's summer time at Camp J. One big day of rain (THUNDERSTORM) and two days later the birds are out (CHIRP), the counselors have come out of hibernation (WHO MOVED MY MATTRESS).
It's like the end of school, everyone cheering (CHEERING), and the campers come out (MOM DID YOU PACK MY SWIM TRUNKS?), and the music crew is jamming on their guitars (PHARAOH PHARAOH OH BABY LET MY PEOPLE GO).People put on sunscreen (SPLORT) and sit in the shade and watch the kids playing kickball (HOW DID YOU MISS THAT?!).

The camp is full of people, counselors (PUT DAT DOWN. DON'T EAT DAT.) and kids playing volleyball (HIT IT OVER!) And birdwatchers watching for snipes. (I SAW ONE! NO YOU DIDN’T! YES I DID! NO YOU DIDN’T! YES I DID!)

The big news was the 50-ton gray whale who washed up in the lagoon (SPLASHING, WALLOWING) — evidently all the excitement interfered with his navigational equipment (ELECTRONIC CHAOS) but there he was in the lagoon, all 50 tons of him and the campers came out and sprayed him with garden hoses (SPLASH) and they poured Kool-Aid on him (SPLASH) and he started singing. He seemed to be singing doo-wop (DOOWOP) and they x-rayed him and found that he had swallowed a member of the cast of "Forever Plaid" from a cruise ship in the Caribbean — so they got the whale to swallow a rope and the guy got hold of it and they pulled him out (HEAVE! HEAVE!)

When he came out, so did some car tires (SCREECH) and bubble wrap (POP) and a 1995 Mazda which still worked (VROOM VROOM) and now the whale really felt like singing. He sang some show songs. (OKLAHOMA) Like Oklahoma. And "Sound of Music" (THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC). And it was pretty exciting at first, but then it was clear that his repertoire was limited. And when the whale sang, "Love will keep us Together" (LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER THINK OF ME BABE WHENEVER) over and over and over, they called in a tugboat (BOAT HORN) and they towed him out of the lagoon and into the little blue and everybody at camp had to stop what they were doing for one whole afternoon so the whale could regain his navigational system and then he rose up huge and gray in the river and he blew (AIR) and he blew again (AIR) and off he went to rejoin his group.


4th Girls: Look What I Found Fishing!
Campers walk on one by one each with an object they caught fishing
Camper 1: I went fishing and I found an octopus
2: I went fishing and I found a penguin.
3: I went fishing and I found a snake.
4: I went fishing and I found Ariel.
The last camper is dragging the leader behind her, and announces all she got fishing was A CRAB!

Camper : Where is it? I can't find it.
MC: What are you looking for?
Camper : The humor in that last joke/skit!
2 campers walk on carrying tree branches with leaves loosely connected so they can be shaken off. They shake their branches as they walk across the stage, leaving leafs behind.
MC: You guys need to get off the stage!
Campers: Don't worry - we're just LEAFing.
Camper runs on, looking frantic.
Camper : It's all around me! It's all around me!
MC: What is it? What's all around you?

Camper runs onstage
Camper : Mr. Scott, the Tribles are after me. BEAM ME ABOARD!

Camper : Thank you! picks up board and runs off


5th Girls: Smoke Signals Skit
#1: Wow, it's great to be out here in the wild.
#2: Hey, what's that over there? Looks like smoke signals.
Two campers wave a blanket back and forth to make signals
#1: Fortunately, I learned smoke signaling at camp last summer. Let me see if I can read them.
#1: (looking through binoculars and sounding out each word)
Help . . . our . . . blanket . . . is . . . on . . . fire.
#1: Huh. (walk off uninterested)

6th boys: Run-aways Camping Skit 
Run-away #1: Quick, we've got to hide. The warden with his dogs are right behind us!

Run-away #3: They'll never catch us up there!
Run-away #4: Good idea!
Climb counselors posing as trees - all climb a different tree
Warden comes on stage, with two dogs barking and sniffing the trail to the first tree. The dogs start barking up the tree
Run-away #1: Tweet, Tweet, Tweet
Warden: Dumb dogs, there's just a bird up there, let's go!
dogs bark and sniff to the 2nd tree
Run-away #2: Meow, Meow, Meow
Warden: Dumb dogs, that's just a cat up there.
dogs bark and sniff to 3rd tree

Hee Haw 7th/8th Grade
perform between each grades skit, all sing final refrain at each other
BOYS: Down here on the farm the weather is messy -- lying around with nothing to do -- when you went away you took my cow Bessie -- I miss her darling more than I miss you.
Where Oh Where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You met another and *pbbb* you was gone.
GIRLS: Now birdies eat seeds and some people plant them -- And now I’ve got seeds but what can I do -- Beyond any doubt I really don’t need them -- But they came with a tomato like you.
Where Oh Where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You met another and *pbbb* you was gone.

BOYS: Remember you phoned me a-sobbin' and cryin' -- The dog bit your maw, and drug her around -- You said she looked pale and thought she was dying -- I said "Don't worry, I'll buy a new hound."
Where Oh Where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You met another and *pbbb* you was gone.

GIRLS: You had six kids and I had eleven -- We had four more and they bloomed like flowers -- I wish you’d come back without you ain’t heaven -- Cause your kids and my kids are beating up ours
Where Oh Where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You met another and *pbbb* you was gone.

BOYS: Remember the night we went to the church dance -- You came and asked me if your lipstick was smeared -- Now you got so mad cause I told the truth dear -- I can’t see your lips through you mustache and beard
Where Oh Where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You met another and *pbbb* you was gone.

If you don't know Where oh Where watch this:



For previous years skits go here or here.


Song of the Day:

Heard this at the fair and did a doubletake.

Now You're Gone - Basshunter


I was obsessed with this song back in college (ask sketch) when it was still Boten Anna. He made an English version - though the lyrics have totally changed - because the original one was so popular.

I discovered it while writing a speech on the dangers of online chatrooms. Here's the original in Swedish.



and that's all i got. have a good one.
