Technically it's Monday, but the song is in my head.
Skipped yesterday.
Didn't really have anything to talk about except a crazy dude rambling about Mike Tyson, black magic and computer hackers.
Surprisingly that's more common than you think. Don't remember that from the contract I signed, so I skipped.
Not that I have much more from today, only went in for 2 hours. Though I did fly through some more editing, on my second read-through now to make sure everything makes sense.
Also made some progress on more Sketch and Edit stuff. Will post them next week after Sketch gets her copy, she'd kill me if they were posted on here first.
My problem is that I get all these ideas or quotes and I try to include them or base something off them but then I get another quote and work on that completely forgetting the previous entry.
Oh well, hopefully something good will happen and spark something or whatever.
So, my apartment smells like syrup, and not in a good way.
Got these waffle things that comes with syrup that you put on it and microwave it, but now it's overpowering. I tried to overpower it with noodles and marinara but that just turned the smell into something like lasagna pancakes.
Which would be gross.
I used to not like pancakes.
No idea why, was probably just being stubborn. Though I'm still that way with brussels sprout, melted cheese and more recently pistachios.
"you say tomato I say pimp."
Back to Burn Notice. Have it on in the background while I finish editing. Should be done with both stories by the end of the week. I'm hoping anyway. Saltdogs game tomorrow, see boyfriend either Wednesday or Thursday, Friday I'm in bed early cause I gotta drive an hour to be at class Saturday morning at 8.
Should have had these done ages ago, but to be fair I am working 40 hours, taking classes and then there was camp. Still, I'm on it.
Speaking of being on it, gotta sleep soon. Back to regular work hours tomorrow. Today was nice cause I slept in and went in for two hours. Though it was madness since I didn't even get a chance to check my email and accounts for library and ILL.
But that's what tomorrow is for.
And no I have no idea how that's anything like being "on it".
Song of the day:
"Sunday Morning" Maroon 5
yes, i know this is boring. i'll make up some more stuff just to appease you.
Saw this somewhere but their suggestions were lame.
Okay, so here's how it works: come up with categories, turn on iTunes, put it on shuffle, play a song and list it next to the first category, second song on shuffle goes with second category, etc. no skipping around and must answer honestly.
Did that make sense?
If not hopefully this will.
And the categories are:
Personal Anthem: High-Tech Redneck - George Jones - hey that one actually made sense
Wedding Song: I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden - okay what's wrong, usually these are way off
Work Theme Song: Nature Boy - David Bowie - okay that's more like it
Exercise Jam: Grenade - Bruno Mars - that could work
Favorite Love Song: 12 Days of Christmas - Relient K - well, i guess you have to be in love to buy all that crap
Favorite Headbanging Song: Ladies Night - Kool and the Gang - yeah, no.
First Dance At Prom With Date Song: Faith - George Michael - hahahaha, that's fantastic.
Mother's Favorite Song: Rhythm of Love - Plain White T's - i could see that one.
Song You Listen To When You're Sad: Strangers Like Me - Everlife remake of Disney classic- perhaps but not likely
Go-To Jam: White Trash Wedding - Dixie Chicks - would have been funnier if it was the wedding or love song
Favorite TV Show's Theme: You & Me - The Cranberries - hm, don't see that playing in the background while images of Angie Harmon, Aubrey Dollar, Laura Harris and Paula Newsome roll across the screeen
Song Playing In The Background When You Were Born: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Roberta Flack - well that's a bit depressing, though i guess it could be worse and end up with the next category
Family's Theme Song: Nowadays - Renee Zellweger on Chicago - and that's good, isn't it grand, isn't it great, isn't it swell, isn't it-
Song That Makes You Cry - Somewhere Only We Know - The Warblers - that one is actually spot on and is only played on three specific dates each year, but that's a longer story. though i guess this year it'll be four to include today.
Song You Sing In The Shower - Move Along - All American Rejects - never saw it that way, but i guess it's worth considering
Song That Is Always Stuck In Your Head - Hotel California - The Eagles - that one is partially true, it's one of those catchy ones that sticks with you
Song You'd Like To Sing On Broadway - Barracuda - Heart - don't see that one happening since i was supposed to learn the guitar part as a dare from mak like 4 years ago and it still hasn't happened
Song You Think Weird Al Should Remake - Yakety-Yak - The Coasters - now that'd be interesting
Song That Reminds You Of Your Best Friend - Chop Suey - System Of a Down - haha, well sometimes we do throw in some commentary or finish each other's sentences
Song That Makes You Laugh: That's The Way I Like It - KC & The Sunshine Band - this is quite humorous
Song That Makes You Mad: Honey, Honey - Amanda Seyfried, Mamma Mia - another true one cause i hate it and it's frequently in my head, "oh he makes me dizzy"
Least Favorite Song: Breathe - Prodigy - well that's just mean, i love that song
Sang At Your Funeral: The Transition - Hawthorne Heights - sort of, kind of makes sense. ish.

I could wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings...
In light of yesterday's shocking I-don't-hate-onions discovery I switched up my lunch today. Ordered a Turkey and Swiss with Cheetos as opposed to my usual Chicken Salad with Cheetos. And, gonna say...totally through off my entire lunch period. Not cool.
Yes, I order the same thing every day, but at least I vary the ice cream flavor. I set goals, thinking if I shelve all the carts in the morning I deserve ice cream or if I finish a list, answer a difficult question that I wouldn't have been able to when I first started, get thanked by a patron....really any excuse that seems worthy enough to deserve ice cream. Then I get it with my lunch. Today I finished the Young Adult Weed List so I got Cookie Dough and it was awesome. So awesome that I almost forgot how much the sandwich sucked.
Not like it sucked cause it was bad. It was good. I'm just apparently not a Turkey and Swiss kind of person. I'm gonna stick with my Chicken Salad for now. It's dependable and tasty. If I don't think about what's in it. I hate mayo. And miracle whip. So that just doesn't exist in this sandwich. Don't tell me otherwise or I will hate you for eternity. This sandwich is serious business man.
Except Obi-Wan made me order something else when we went out to eat during post-camp stuff even though Chicken Salad was on the menu. So I had some sort of something that had melted cheese on it and yeah, again, not the same. I'm not a fan of melted cheese. Pretty sure I gave you the "I like cheese but I don't like cheese" speech already. If you missed it go here: My Life in Closed Captions: New Shoes, the Cheese Speech, Warped Tour and MXPX...
We went out to eat at basically the only place to eat in G-Town. Well that and the Dairy Delite which is closed for the season. There's also a barbeque joint but I don't know the hours. But this is the place that my mother basically lived off of when dad was in the hospital and we lived amongst the white walls and sterile equipment. Where else are you gonna go when you can't go home? So, of course they have their usual orders as well. Second Sister included with her to-go cup.
It's not that I'm not a variety kind of person. I like...you know...sometimes theres... Okay so I'm not a variety kind of person. Except for when it comes to media. Movies, Music, TV - I'm into it all. There. Saved my sanity. I'm all about the variety. Ha. Just not when it involves food. Which sounds weird cause I'll try almost anything. Almost. I just like my usuals when I can get them.
Anyway, so I'm done with my first assignment. Queen of the Known Universe was very helpful in this matter with tips and all that. I love my coworkers. QofA brought me farm animal crazy bands this morning - I'm wearing a yellow duck one, it's awesome. But Mission Statement is written, revised, and submitted. Due tomorrow night. Done tonight. Now I gotta read some of the text and get ready for next week's assignment.
Despite the sandwich mishap it was a good day. Mom brought me cookies - na, na, na, na-na...we do a lot of na-na'ing in our family - gave some to smart people and got a point, huzzah! I'm at 136. Gaining on Space Cadet slowly but surely.
Also, got to jam with the security guard for a while. Seemed everyone was losing all sorts of things today, cellphone covers, backpacks, lanyards, stomach contents...
Oh yeah. Real deal. It was disgusting. I was at the front desk and all the sudden we heard this like heaving. Like serious serious heaving coming from the restrooms. I look up at the guard who's looking at me with her eyebrows raised. Then I hear "Hey, you work here. Go check it out," come from one of our usuals who sits in the same chair every day reading a book. I smile, look at the guard and and make a head nod in the direction of the bathroom. I was her backup. It was awesome. And gross at the same time. But the bathroom dude had it covered. He was sober - which is unusual for someone who's heaving in our bathrooms - but the heat was apparently in the 100s so it took him out. Way way out.
Aaannnd on that note, I'm gonna hit you with some music before I go way way out to the world of sleep. I'm exhausted. Maybe it's all the variety.
Sometimes when I have no idea what to recommend for music I put my ipod on shuffle saying, "Okay, whatever song plays is going on there." And then I hit it and the song sucks. Or the intro is too boring. Or the rare occasion where I've already posted it - did I mention variety? - And I end up hitting skip like 8 times before a decent song arises. This was one of those songs.
"Better Things to Do" Terri Clark
like dance in canyons and drive in circles around you...
did you ever have an ex that whenever they took the time to actually contact you you knew that they were at that time fighting with their current girlfriend? and you didn't even have to check facebook to see if that was actually the case? this is my theme song when it comes to those moments.
"I Gotta Go" Robert Earl Keen
if you hurry you can grab it for free off itunes. love it.
i'm sorry that this has turned into some sort of country week. first it was Patty Loveless and Mary Chapin Carpenter. then The Judds. then the Dixie Chicks. now this. to be fair i did throw in some Cake. it's all about the ipod man. blame the shuffle.
here. watch this. it fixes everything.
"Mahna Mahna" Cake
go for it uncle steve. you know you want to. it's just that awesome. star wars plus cake plus the muppets. and it matches up with the beat. diggin' it.
OUT!

And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all.
I learned something new today.
Ready?
I actually don't hate onions.
I know.
Huge.
Okay, to you that may not be a big deal, but to me it's like a revelation of sorts.
I used to despise them. I thought they were disgusting. I used to fork them off of my salad and onto my mother's. Cause she loves them.
Now they're actually quite good on burgers, on nachos with salsa, tacos, not to mention onion rings. Duuuude.
Don't worry I'm not going to start eating them like apples...like some peoples' fathers. Not my father. He hates them as well. That's where I got my despization from.
Is that a word?
I'm making it one.
Despization, yes he has a despization for all things onions. He calls Pizza Hut "Heartburn Hut". But we still eat there.
Okay, moving on.
So as glad as I am to be in grad school I forgot how much I'm really not a fan of homework. Granted this is actually useful and relevant to my daily life - it's not like take the factor in this equation and times it by 2 then add a million, divide that in half, throw in a few numbers after some sort of a decimal point and then add three.
This is actually useful for working in a library. Thankfully. I don't know if any of that equation makes sense at all, I was never a math person. Fortunately all I have to be able to do is count to 10, 25, 150, and 14.99. Plus you know the Dewey Decimal System which I have down anyway with the Shelver's Curse mentioned here: My Life in Closed Captions: Rockin' the Reference with the Shelver's Curse
But I have homework already! Where did my summer vacation go?! Oh....that's right...I had camp! So, what summer vacation?
This time it's taking our Mission Statement and comparing it to that of three other libraries then revising it. Not that big of a deal. But I like our mission statement! It's simple and to the point. It doesn't use giant big tremendous voluminous substantially huge words that no one can understand. It's one sentence that anyone can understand and repeat.
So how do I revise that?
If you're more thorough you'll live in a constant state of revisement. If you're not thorough enough you get people who ask "and what do you mean by that?" If you're too wordy they'll skip past it to something else.
Plus there's argument over wordage. Which sounds dumb but it happens.
Sorry. Rambling. Will work on it tomorrow night. Perhaps coworkers will have suggestions, they're always good for those. It's not due 'til Thursday night anyway.
"Tortured Tangled Hearts" Dixie Chicks live
sheer awesomeness.
"Goodbye Earl" Dixie Chicks live
"well uh, I don't think we'll ever get tired of killing this guy."
i love it cause they're all cracking it.
this was definitely one of my favorite songs growing up, and probably one of my favorite bands ever. used to jam out and dance like an idiot. still do. actually just did.
Alright, me and my big fat cat are gonna watch some more Chuck. I'm mid-second season and still loving it.
"Why didn't you stay in the car?"
"It's never safe in the car!!"

I'm just not hooked on your phonics.
I've been listening to too much Ke$ha. Everything is coming out in song. It's like the King's Speech all over again. If you can't say it sing it. Curse her simple but catchy melodies.
Anyway...
Time: 10:32 PM
Location: Couch - I'm sensing a pattern
Attitude: Awesome. Cause I'm jamming out to Ke$ha. Which doesn't automatically make a person awesome, but it comes close. Not really. But she's catchy.
Things I've Learned Vicariously Today:
- There's no graceful way to fall off a bike.
- Black ice causes cars to spin and scare the crap out of you.
- Babies are clever when it comes to waking up their parents in the morning.
Things I've Learned From Myself Today:
- I have no follow-thru. While I made soup for lunch - hooray for easy things on the stove - I totally caved and ate microwave lasagne for supper. But I'm tired. Does celery and peanut-butter count if I got them both from the kitchen? It's mixing ingredients, technically. It's an art really! Okay, not really. But such a random combination. deserves some kind of attention and appreciation.
- No matter how many different branches you can call to locate a DVD you still may have to send an email to all the staff at all the branches in a mass email. Nervous much?
- Even though she plays a lawyer I still wait for Kathy Bates to dress in bubblewrap and yell out TOWANDA! just randomly. Maybe she's saving it for a closing argument later in the season. Harriet's Law and Fine Shoes anyone? I love that show. Unfortunately, watching it means I can't watch Castle as they are on at the same time, so I will have to watch Castle tomorrow online. I know it was a big episode so I'm excited.
Aside from watching Castle, tomorrow means split shift and meeting with mom to go over tax stuff. I know nothing about them so I'm glad she's in charge of it all. Plus I get to tell Space Cadet about my cooking adventures. I should have taken pictures she won't believe me.
BTW - Shouldn't it be 'pair' instead of 'pear'? Maybe she has a thing for fruit. It's like 'flavor of the weak' all over again. Although I guess that one makes sense too.
BTWx2 - My cat is going psycho over that thing you pull off a milk carton before you can twist the cap. I have no idea what it's called but he loves it and carries it around the apartment before dropping it and batting it around. Simple pleasures.

If you can't say it, sing it!
Wow. Relaxation. This is new. Slept in, made food like MADE food, very exciting, went to a movie, hit up Target for more groceries, then came home to watch Burn Notice. Totally finished the first season. Love that I don't have to wait a week to see what's next.
So, woke up at 10 to the snowplows in the parking lot. Lots of beeping, lots of dragging noises, blah. Not a good way to wake up but then the thought that I could go back to sleep - even though I didn't - made things better. So, I decided to make food. I was feeling adventurous. Made some eggs on the stove plus bacon plus toast. Then did the same for lunch. Awesomeness. And I didn't even burn the eggs. I was very impressed.
After all this fun was more fun - I met up with some work friends and we hit up The Grand to see The King's Speech. Hilarious. And historic. I'd give it a 8/10 on my Scale of Awesome. But, I was really distracted through half of it because every time I saw a throne or they talked about a throne I just kept hearing Niles' voice in my head.
Niles: I once walked in on the Queen-mother.
Fran: In the shower?
Niles: On the throne.
So I wanted to laugh. But I couldn't. And then that reminded me of my incident in the lab where I was cracking up about that Just Shoot Me line - mentioned in an earlier post - and how I couldn't laugh then either which made things worse. So I got seriously lucky because Colin Firth aka George the VI swore up a storm so I had an excuse to laugh. Too funny.
Anyway, it was fun. Even though it was freezing outside and I was in a sweatshirt. Hey, I had to have something for Grandma to rag on me for. Grandma aka fun coworker who is 25 and calls me a young-un. Yeah, 22, big age difference there. So I call her Grandma. It's amusing. Think she'll cut me some slack when I turn 23?
Plus it gave me something to blog about besides work (who knew) as discussed with my other work friend. Social life in progress.
After all that was Target where I got some more make-in-the-kitchen food aka tonight's soup I had for supper. Very exciting. But don't think I'm gonna be waking up early to make stuff. I enjoy not being a morning person. It works for me.
Now it's Burn Notice, season 2, disc 1. I enjoy all of Michael Weston's accents. It's amusing. It's still a little difficult seeing him as the good guy since in like everything else he plays a jerk. Hmmm... I guess that means I watch too much tv. Maybe I should work on that.
Tomorrow I get to sleep in again, if I don't get called in in the morning, then fun times working the afternoon shift. Awesome.
Aannnd I'm out. I'd give you a music rec but I'm deep in this show. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. Saying a 9/10 on the S.O.A.

Grandma aka fun coworker who is 25 and calls me a young-un. Yeah, 22, big age difference there. So I call her Grandma. It's amusing. Think she'll cut me some slack when I turn 23?
Plus it gave me something to blog about besides work (who knew) as discussed with my other work friend. Social life in progress.
After all that was Target where I got some more make-in-the-kitchen food aka tonight's soup I had for supper. Very exciting. But don't think I'm gonna be waking up early to make stuff. I enjoy not being a morning person. It works for me.
Now it's Burn Notice, season 2, disc 1. I enjoy all of Michael Weston's accents. It's amusing. It's still a little difficult seeing him as the good guy since in like everything else he plays a jerk. Hmmm... I guess that means I watch too much tv. Maybe I should work on that.
Tomorrow I get to sleep in again, if I don't get called in in the morning, then fun times working the afternoon shift. Awesome.
Aannnd I'm out. I'd give you a music rec but I'm deep in this show. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. Saying a 9/10 on the S.O.A.

Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother.
Time: 10:50 PM
Location: Couch
Music: "Give a little more" by Maroon 5 - I love this song
Attitude: Amused
Yesterday was work then dinner at sister's and watching Dinner with Schmucks. Not my favorite but it did have a few good lines. "Get them out of a my head!!!" I'd give it a 4/10 on my Scale of Awesome.
Today coworker was gone so I covered and stayed 'til six. I got to work with my boss which was fun. We talked a lot about food and tv. Gotta love Criminal Minds. Well, not anymore, not after that whole creative reasons crap with AJ/JJ. I was gone after that. Didn't even start the new season. Although it is enjoyable that the entire cast hopes that the spinoff (so-called "Criminal Minds Suspect Behavior") will fail. That soooo amuses me. Seriously. They're ticked. That's too funny. And I hope it does. And apparently Forest Whittaker is already out as well. I'm wondering how they're gonna pull it off. Anyway, I hope it fails. There would be much rejoicing.
But today was fun, working with my boss is fun because we have fun discussions about tv but I also got to talk to this woman about James Patterson and the Women's Murder Club series and it was awesome. I can talk about that for hours so bringing it up totally made my day. Until dinner tonight...
Me and my sisters + their husbands went to the Parthenon. It was fantastic. I had goat and all I could hear in my mind was Gibbs saying "Good goat!" (NCIS:Untouchable, Season 3) Aside from the fabulous food we had some interesting conversations. Well, interesting to them, they enjoy torturing me. I just sat there fixing my scarf and drinking heavily. Scarred for life. But the food was good. And I had some sort of cheesecake for desert, it was huge had to bring half of it home with me!
After that it was playing Just Dance on the Wii with my sister and niece and nephew. It was hilarious, the kids were commentating on what we were supposed to do and I was cracking up, I couldn't even dance. "Point! Point! Point! Point! Shovel! Shovel! Shovel! Shovel! M like McDonalds! Now Shimmy! Shimmy!! Shimmy! You're not shimmying!" And my sister yells "Shimmy, damnit, shimmy!" I died on the spot. Hilarious. And she may have beat me at everything else I totally took her down at Rockafeller Skank which is the one she bragged about to me for the past two days. I totally took her down.
Aaannnd a night with family means more fun catch phrases such as these:
- "Lean back your sleeves" Sarah, meaning pull back
- "Lincoln can only afford an old cheney, not a new one." Cindy about street names
- "Does this sunroof open?" Joe about drowning us in snow - It was like blizzarding at this point.
- "I'm not afraid to throw things!" Cindy from the backseat at her husband driving not as carefully as she would have liked.
- "I want to be the cowboy!" I showed Mandy and Joe the Indian 12 Days of Christmas, which is in the Dec 25th post on here if you're interested.
- "I don't know about you, but I heard booga, booga, booga." That was me at Joey.
- "Bend and snap!" "There's no bending! Just snapping!" Mandy commentating Just Dance and my reply. Cause yeah, there was no bending. Just snapping. Legally Blonde reference.
And my personal favorite was from Cindy. She's the oldest so I guess she can be the funniest. I offered everyone a piece of gum at the restaurant (yes I had to google that word again to make sure I didn't look like an idiot) and she didn't take one. Sarah, in the car, said "wow, this gum is enjoyable." and Cindy pipes up and says, "Give me a piece of that gum, you didn't tell me it was gonna be enjoyable!"
Tomorrow is Joey's basketball game then going to a movie with some work friends. Should be fun.

Angry Birds, Angry Birds, What You Gonna Do? What You Gonna Do When They Come For You?
Time: 10:21 PM
Location: Couch
Attitude: Loud Music Necessary
Current Work Score: 113 - down from my high 118 when my timesheet mysteriously vanished
Today's Highlights:
-I killed a pig with a bird. It was very exciting and strange at the same time. Superwoman has this awesome app on her Droid called "Angry Birds" apparently it's really popular. You slingshot angry birds at pigs. They're so angry they crush the pigs under buildings and then explode. It's pretty wicked sweet. I'm just curious as to what the pigs did to piss off the birds so much that you fail if you don't kill them all. Yikes.
- I answered an instant message in Spanish. You can instant message the library with questions. This one was in Spanish. My high school Spanish teacher would be so proud. I actually have used it a lot at the library, I should work more on it so I can be better in the future.
- Went grocery shopping and bought a lot of good food that involves spending time in the kitchen. Yikes but good yikes. I will learn. and hopefully not take down my building in the process.
- Ate supper with sister and watched The A-Team. Hilarious. I forgot how much I like Liam Neeson. And Bradley Cooper was probably the best character, apart from the crazy guy anyway. Hilarious. I'd give it a 8/10 on my Scale of Awesome.
Tomorrow is half-day then cleaning apartment, doing homework, working ahead - because I don't during the week - and getting through some of these DVD seasons. I have multiple out and they're all due next week, except the one I got today Burn Notice season 1! Woohoo! Loving Michael Weston.
The weekend means possible girls night, more cleaning, more homework, more work work, and then a sister's night out for supper. Not in that order. But should be fun.
Music Rec of the Day -
A sister specialty, meaning Maroon 5. Or Scissor Sisters. But this time it's Maroon 5. My second sister burned me their "Hands on Me" CD and I'm loving it. Some of the best are "Last Chance" "Get Back in My Life" "How" "Give a Little More" "Misery". Here's a link to their youtube if you're interested. It's definitely worth checking out. http://www.youtube.com/user/maroon5?blend=1&ob=4
This next one is djearworm. He does these remixes where he takes the greatest hits and their music videos from the entire year and blends them into a mashup. They're awesome. He has one from '08, this one in '09 and then the newest just came out for '10. Then there are some other random mashups he's made. I'm posting this one because even though '08 and '10 are pretty great they can't top this one.
Blame it on the Pop 2009
Here's Viva La Pop 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLaZ-8IMtt0
And Don't Stop the Pop 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLA7JMPE_xU

I got a tiger, I got a tiger, I got a tiger hey! hey! hey! hey!
Don't worry, it's stuffed. And tiny. And cute. And sat on my dashboard today but I felt guilty leaving him in the cold so I brought him in for the night. Carter stared at it for a while then got bored and laid somewhere else. Now he's playing with the strap on my bag. Yes, he's brilliant.
Anyway, it was a present from my coworker since I'm a tiger now. Missouri's mascot. I've been a lion then a knight then a bulldog - really, a bulldog? why? - and now I'm a tiger. Major progress. Or a personality disorder, depending on how you look at it.
woops, forgot.

Today was split shift, shelving in the morning, desk work at night. Mom came between shifts so I didn't get any chores done. Other than paying for class, and sort of cleaning my apartment. Organizing. We'll go with that. Since I had to bring back my cat and all that he entails when I came back from Christmas I didn't want to have to carry all my presents and stuff in too so Mom brought them today. Half of my stuff was kitchen stuff so I put all that away today - it's like spatula overload. I have 6 in all different sizes and colors. What exactly is the purpose of a spatula anyway? It's not like the thing you flip pancakes with it's the thing that you mix batter with. That's a spatula, right? If not I don't know what it's called. But I have 6 of them.
BTW - Do you know how much freaking work it is to carve a grapefruit?! Dude. And how do you know when you're doing it right cause it just ended up a big pile of mess anyway. There's no sophisticated way to eat a grapefruit, no matter how you slice it. Literally. So I covered it in sugar and attacked it with a fork. It was good.
Tonight was fun. Me and Space Cadet totally rocked it. We agreed she's the senior space cadet, I'm only the tag along space cadet. I have to earn my rank. She made me do the closing announcement. Apparently my voice carries. Then she changed it to it's more commanding. Then she changed that to I project well. Which I guess is true. You learn to project well when you're in charge of a kid's camp, especially in the drama department. Which reminds me, I gotta start work on forms for registration soon. Ugh, already. That flew by fast. That means coming up with a theme with the rest of the leaders, finding a bible passage to match said theme, finding graphics, re-writing all of the forms from scratch because of changes from last year, then either writing or finding 8+ skits depending on how many kids I get. Blah. Will have to text partner tomorrow afternoon to see if he knows anything about the theme.
Tomorrow means larger branch, which I haven't been to since Thursday. I have a feeling I forgot to sign my timesheet before it was collected. Which means I lose points. And I like my 118 so that would suck. I'm hoping that by some weird miracle I finished it Thursday and signed it. Like had a psychic moment that I was gonna be sick the next day and not be back until tomorrow. But that's highly doubtful. Right? Especially since I don't remember having a psychic moment. And that's something you would remember. Right?
Tomorrow also means I'm wearing my Firefly shirt just to see how many people get the reference. Yes, it's official, I've turned into one of those too. Add that to the list of geeks I already am.
And I'm out. Gonna write some more Sketch and Edit's and then crash.
Have a good night.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Time: 10:13 PM
Location: Couch
Music: "Reflecting Light" - Sam Phillips (one of my favorites, i'll post the link later)
Attitude: Tired
Attitude seemed the appropriate word. So today was fun and relaxing. I slept in, watched How I Met Your Mother - wanted to punch Barney on multiple occasions, he says awesome more than i do btw - wrote some more Sketch and Edit's and hung out with my big fat cat.
So, the benefits of having a sister that grocery shops for you is that she knows you well enough not to dump too much health food on you without giving you some bad-for-you snacks that balance everything out. The thing is, I had to actually like assemble the food, as opposed to my usual stick-it-in-the-microwave-then-eat-it routine. Which meant spending quality time in the kitchen, which led to noticing I have stains on my ceiling from food, which made me wonder how long they've been up there. They certainly didn't come from me. And I had this flashback to this episode of Charmed - yes I am one of those people - to where Piper and Paige are in the kitchen and it goes something like this:
Paige: We are not slobs!
Piper: Oh really? How come I spent all night cleaning potion stains off of the ceiling?
Paige: That's gazpacho not potion.
Piper: You know what, blenders have lids.
Anyway, sibling grocery shopping is awesome because she knows what to get me. But the best thing of all.....string cheese. The wonder of wonders and so mysterious. Peel it apart into strings and it's fantastic, take a big bite out of it whole, it's disgusting. Yes I did put that in bold just because I can.
Mom just called, quote of the day: "I have my car full of your stuff and I'm not putting it back!" She's coming up tomorrow which means Culvers, most likely. Mmm, custard. Yay.
Anybody watch Harry's Law tonight? Also fantastic. And hilarious, I'm loving Kathy
Bates. And I've liked Brittany Snow since John Tucker Must Die - again I am one of those - so it's fun to see her as the ditzy blonde like in Hairspray.
Annnnd with that it's lights out.
