Things I learned today:
-In Duluth, Minnesota it is illegal to allow animals to sleep in a bakery.
-In Idaho, you may not fish on a camel's back.
-All of the earth's continents are wider at the north than in the south - and nobody knows why.
-A group of frogs is called an army.
-90% of women who walk into a department store immediately turn to the right.
(those may be complete crap, just FYI)
-No matter how well-planned out things may seem, they can still go sideways.
The last one was especially true for today. They've finished the majority of the painting which means that books go back on the wall along the outside - or the car manuals at least cause that's their new permanent location.
When they took them down they attempted to keep them in order on the shelves and then line up the shelves so that it would be easier to put them back up....but the plan failed a bit.
Mostly because the lines they were put in were a bit out of order. But whatever, two hours later they were fixed and up.
The movers were seriously impressive, the Awesome Aide and I sat back and watched as these muscle-bound guys picked up the shelves with the books still on them and carried them around the room, then lifted them over their head and installed them.
And these are heavy books.
Dude.
Anyway, as well-planned as it was, since they weren't putting them back in the same section as they took them down it turned into a bit of a mess.
But we got it.
One of the dudes said if something goes wrong they'd have my back.
So Chet's Moving Service has got my back.
Made me feel special, haha.
But there was a lot of re-shelving things and organizing today which made me realize all this new supplies stuff I need to order, blah. I'm behind, but that'll be my goal for tomorrow: order conquer, tape, baskets, batteries....there was more but I'm blanking. Good thing I wrote it down.
Aside from the constant running all over the place was the constant heat which didn't help things but we're in Nebraska so we're used to it, anyway we found ways to distract ourselves, talking about the big game and our favorite commercials which is a frequent topic between myself and The New Guy.
Here are some of our favorites:
Make 7-Up Yours!
i love orlando jones and this is fantastic.
Don't Wake Up in a Road Side Ditch
"when people think you're tough people want to see how tough..."
it's just so random!!! i love it! and all the other variations, but this is the best.
Darth Vader and a Volkswagen
love it.
ALL ABOARD!!!! The 5G Train!
"i dunno, kinda looks like a girl"
That's Brisk, Baby!
too funny.
okay, there's no way i can not post these.
I want a Golden Darthy!!
"...well that blows..."
That kid's got game
"and the babes start snickerdoodling and then you go on lots of dates!"
gonna have to show those to my brother, fantastic.
Song of the night:
Because Jordis is in my top 5 for The Voice and she rocked it tonight, here's her blind audition
"Maybe I'm Amazed" Jordis Unga
dig it.

You've already won me over, in spite of me.
Sometimes on the way to your dream you get lost and you find a better one. - Jack Gallo
We learned all about subject headings today in cataloging.
Which is nothing like scrapbooking, sorry to disappoint.
Along with listening to presentations on various cataloging topics, we also conquered the Dewey Decimal System and it was pretty cool.
Which sounds both shocking and nerdy, but I'm used to it.
Anyway, they taught us how they come up with the call numbers and what the numbers after the decimal stand for. It was actually cool and useful.
I just gotta remember how to access it for the homework assignment.
It's a whole process, dividing everything after the decimal into tables, 09 is for geography and then the rest go after that, or if it's just a subject you gotta lower it down to a specific catagory then take that number so really there are more than three numbers after the point but with the abridged version they cut it down...
Yeah I lost you. Sorry. I'll gain you back.
So I'm back to Just Shoot Me.
I go in spurts with it, it's like Charlie's Angels or Big Bang Theory. It comes and goes.
"just don't ask him to kill a turkey!"
Elliot's girlfriend just did a commercial for hemroids and Finch is giving him crap, then Maya hit on a free-lance writer and he accused her of sexual harrassment because of Nina's advice...
"this is insane, someone makes a completely unfounded accusation and I just have to sit back and take it?"
"welcome to all three of my divorces."
I'm exhausted.
And it's a long day tomorrow so I'm out.
"Head Over Feet" Alanis Morisette
you're so much braver than i give you credit for...
OUT!
I couldn't help it, it's all your fault!!

While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Another day, another marathon of Swamp People.
Plus some HeeHaw.
But that's what happens when you don't visit the farmhouse for two months, your father has shows lined up for you to watch.
And then hits his head and winds up in the emergency room.
Quote of the night:
Mom: "Guess where I am?"
Me: "Where?"
Mom: "The hospital."
Me: "Seriously? I leave for five minutes..."
He needed stitches and apparently the doc started stitching him before the numbing took effect. I asked if he socked him in the face. After all the crap this past year with the white walls and sterylized equipment I would have been tempted to.
But he's always been a great doc to me so...
He's probably used to the after hours calls from us by now. As a kid I went over there multiple nights to get my arm put back into socket. Apparently that happened a lot, it got pulled out or something. Then he taught my brother how to do it. Sounds painful, must have blocked it out. I'm not good with that stuff, makes me cringe.
Anyway, aside from watching Liz kick some major gator butt, I took my car for an oil change at my favorite mechanic's aka the boyfriend's house. He's handy like that. It was highly entertaining.
Mom has invited him for Easter. We'll see if he is brave enough to face the crazy. Church, dinner then a massive egg hunt. I told him there would probably be a lot of card playing after, as has become tradition at family gatherings. Or maybe we'll switch it up for some Apples to Apples but that's highly doubtful.
Will have to teach him how to play, as seems to be the tradition when siblings bring in significant others. It's like a rite of passage or something.
Moving on.
What kind of hats do they wear at the North Pole?
Ice caps.
Or that's what my popsicle stick says.
Popsicle sticks, I hate popsicles sticks.
SuperHumann used to use them in high school when no one would raise their hand. They'd be numbered so whoever got pulled had to answer.
Though I remember it backfired one time during government class. She also used them to assign partners, this time she partnered me with my boyfried of the time. The look on her face was priceless. So we were loud and obnoxious and lived it up. She was not amused.
Pretty sure that came around the same class as:
SH: "What's unique about the word equal."
no one answers...raise hand
Me: "It has a q in it?"
red marker flies passed my head.
We had a lot of fun in that class. Speaking of, Jessica and I used to drive around York when dropping Smo off for PT and we came across Iowa Avenue with lots of hills and a sign that says "Dip". We told SuperHumann about the "dip"s and she replied,
"Well, there's two of them in the car."
Ouch.
So tonight when I drove passed the Iowa Avenue roadsign I had to laugh.
The joys of small town Nebraska and class with SuperHumann.
Alright, I'm out for the night. Class tomorrow means I should get some sleep, that way I can actually understand all the numbers and data entries they'll be explaining tomorrow.
"Whiskey Lullaby" Brad Paisley
well that was depressing.
"She Said Yes" Chad Brock
the boyfriend and i had a debate about the lyrics on this one. he says it "he said why" while i say "he said wow" cause it makes more sense and rhymes better.

She's been living in her white bread world...
The library may be a dangerzone at the moment, but at least we're still us.
I enjoy us.
We're quite humorous.
Especially when we jump in on the big money lottery together.
And we're too nice to pull a cut-throat Jersey construction worker move...or at least I think we are.
Administration actually has their own pool going too, which makes me laugh that there's two of us.
Public service is gonna dominate.
Just saying.
Even if by chance we did win - you know that 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.... chance - I'd probably still stick around.
Library has become my life.
Not sure what else I would do.
Before I was lazy. Not like super lazy, but I would have been content to do nothing, lay around watch TV and all that.
Now on my day off I go crazy. Force myself to take a nap or something. I know, my life is so rough whatever.
I got the weekend off for the first time this month so I headed out to the farmhouse. Granted I have class on Sunday so it's not completely stress-free.
Speaking of, should probably have finished my homework tonight but got caught up in Swamp People.
Yes, that Swamp People.
Dad keeps calling and leaving me messages about Swamp People and all these episodes he's taping.
So, when I get the chance for a weekend off and decide to come home for the first time in months I'm bombarded with the awesomeness that is cajun accents and humor.
I enjoy that now Liz has her own boat and a female partner, that's fantastic. They make me laugh. She's my favorite, loved her with Troy. "Choot 'em, Lizbet!"
Mom bought me a shirt with her on it.
And got Dad one with Willy on it.
Cause apparently that's his favorite.
Which makes me laugh.
If you've seen the show you'll know what I'm talking about.
Though he is good with a treble hook.
Pics of the day:
we have little magnets that label the sections of the nonfiction. this one's a little questionable. actually led to a humorous debate this morning. i said it's a verb but not a noun. one of the awesome aides argued that it could be different groups of fish so that would make them fishes. hmm.
it's always amusing when you get a bunch of english majors together and debate about something completely pointless in the AM.
the plural of deer is deer.
the plural of moose is moose.
the plural of goose is geese.
the plural of mouse is mice.
the plural of fish is....
love it.
that is one bigass bag of popcorn. compare it to the size of the chair or the fridge in the background. sometimes there are random snacks in the staffroom. i'm guessing this one made an appearance because of the destruction area that we call the second floor. and sections of the first.
this whole painting thing plus the shift is crazy and never ending. but at least we get to work on our limbo skills whilest maneuvering crime scene tape.
and the dish ran away with the spoon....or the cat ran away with the string...same thing.
Song of the day:
"Uptown Girl" Billy Joel
gonna say, the dancing right away at 2:35 kinda freaked me out, though i did immensely enjoy the leg kicks at 2:45
or you could go with this version:
I'm all for Billy Joel. We remixed We Didn't Start the Fire to match up with our Camp J highlights.
though the original version is much better. will have to find it and upload it.

I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road.
10-4 Good Buddy.
That was the theme of the day.
Oversize integration.
Did a lot of shifting.
Also sang a lot of Roger Miller with John Boy. It was highly amusing.
They painted - well they're painting - the walls at the library. One of the walls is purple which brought to his mind the line "They say roses are red and violets are purple, Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple."
Which led us to a discussion about Skating in Buffalo Herds, Chugging a lot of Lug, Danging ourselves and being Royalty of the Road.
And then we started singing King of the Road.
It was a slow day.
Which was actually quite convenient for oversize shifting purposes. The whole upstairs area is kind of a dangerzone as mentioned earlier. There's shelves all over the place, carts with loads of books, stuff out of order... I'll be glad when everything's painted, but there's still the matter of integrating what's left of the oversize along the walls and on the carts. We're only at 617.8ish.
And I mean, we have a serious amount of material, but some of other branches have more...that must have been even more stressful.
I'm just glad I got to jam out with the New Guy. They have us working in pairs for the most part. We found new shifting techniques that work wonders, aka one person on both sides of the shelf and then just pushing it through to the other side and putting them in order. Quite helpful. We did a lot in a little amount of time.
Then re-arranged some shelves so they could make more progress tomorrow.
There were a lot of 10-4 Good Buddy's.
I just do what I'm told really. They have enough going on, just give me a task and I'll go with it.
I did enough shifting at the home branch to get the techniques down.
And get used to books falling on my head.
That's how you could tell where I was in the building at the home branch, you'd hear a bunch of 'thump's and then one big 'ahhh!!' and you'd be able to pin-point my exact location.
All-in-all I'd call it a productive day.
After that got to jam with the boyfriend. He gave me a massage cause my back hurts. Best boyfriend ever. We watched Tower Heist and Mission Impossible.
Totally called it man.
Biggest named actor, I'm telling you. That's how it works.
But I figured it was time I watched the series since the 4th??? one is coming out of DVD. I'm on the list for that but I was told to watch them in order. 1 down. 3 to go.
Anyway, I should probably crash and burn soon. I haven't looked at tomorrow's schedule but I'm guessing it's more of the same. Though I do have Saturday off, woohoo!
"King of the Road" plus some impromptu song writing - Roger Miller and Johnny Cash
this was basically our attitude throughout the day, love it.
hysterical.

"I've had marriages shorter than that story."
So I'm back to Just Shoot Me.
Sometimes you gotta go back to the classics.
Jack: "Muffins aren't breakfast they're cake in a doily!"
Same night as Friends and Will and Grace. Back when NBC dominated. Not so much anymore. Though it does have The Voice which has gotten my attention as of late.
If you don't know the premise this is it in a nutshell.
Maya Gallo (Laura San Giacomo) is broke. She was fired from her TV newsjob after making an anchorwoman cry by sabotaging her telepromter. In order to keep her apartment she is forced to talk to her father a rich businessman and owner of Blush Magazine.
He hires her and she basically is the only normal one in the bunch. You've got Jack the boss and her dad played by George Segal, Elliot (Enrico Colantoni) the photographer who sleeps with all the models, Finch (David Spade) Jack's personal assistant and professional womanizer then Nina Van Horn an middle-aged former model still fighting for the spotlight played by Wendie Malick.
Originally the show didn't have Finch, but the network said it was missing something so they went back, added him in, rewrote the script and added the new scenes in. David makes up a lot of the material himself so it was a good call.
Maya: This picture sends the wrong message.
Elliot: What message are you trying to send?
Maya: "My name is Maya Gallo, and I'm a professional."
Elliot: And this says?
Maya: "My name is Maya Gallo, and my naughty girlfriends and I are waiting for your calls."
At first the show was all about Maya adjusting and the others resenting her but by the end of first season she's in and they've bonded and it's more about complications or hijinks at work that turn comedic. Finch and Elliot pulling pranks on Nina.
The show ran from 1997-2003 when the network decided they needed to add a new character who was supposed to be this rising star. However this caused too much tension so they ended it. It was Rena Sofer who you probably know Colonel Bell's lawyer on NCIS.
Jack: [to Hannah, over the phone] Hi, Hannah. Daddy's going to sing a song about... his desk. Oh, markers and pencils and pens And keys to my Mercedes Benz A cup and an empty green bottle...
Nina barges in about something unrelated: Damnit, Jack!
Jack: Oh, look, it's a grumpy ex-model.
On the scale of awesome I rate it a 10/10. It's got a great cast and it's one of those shows that you know they really get along off set as well and that's been said by all of them in interviews.
The characters are well written and very different from each other, the writing is great, storylines are realistic for the most part as they work for a fashion magazine.
Nina: [looking at Maya's ID photo] This picture captures the real you.
Dennis: Yeah, someone should, for science.
This is when I first realized how great of an actress Wendie Malick is. She plays the snarky ex-model fighting to stay young, much like her current role on Hot in Cleveland.
It's funny that I gravitate to the bitch character. Nina. Sue Sylvestor, Karen Darling, the list goes on though they're all from comedies. I don't think I could handle a serious bitch, at least these are funny.
Elliot DiMauro about breast implants: Do you have a permit for those?
Nina Van Horn: Don't you just love'em? They say, "Here I am!"
Elliot DiMauro: Actually, they say, "Moo, I hope some frat guy doesn't tip me over."
my brother and i sing this.
it's 5 seconds you know you want to.
Maya: That's fired with a "ph" it's gangsta rap for "you're doing swell!"
Out for the night.

This is when I first realized how great of an actress Wendie Malick is. She plays the snarky ex-model fighting to stay young, much like her current role on Hot in Cleveland.
It's funny that I gravitate to the bitch character. Nina. Sue Sylvestor, Karen Darling, the list goes on though they're all from comedies. I don't think I could handle a serious bitch, at least these are funny.
Elliot DiMauro about breast implants: Do you have a permit for those?
Nina Van Horn: Don't you just love'em? They say, "Here I am!"
Elliot DiMauro: Actually, they say, "Moo, I hope some frat guy doesn't tip me over."
my brother and i sing this.
it's 5 seconds you know you want to.
Maya: That's fired with a "ph" it's gangsta rap for "you're doing swell!"
Out for the night.

Highway to the Danger Zone
It's actually amusing to walk into work and see the floor covered in crime scene tape.
Sections of the library are basically off limits cause we're painting at the same time as we're integrating the oversize with the regular.
It's a mess.
I remember when we did this at the home library, but it was so much easier and less time consuming. They boxed everything up and put it in the middle of the room, came over the holiday weekend and it was done.
But with the work library there are 4 floors. They did 4 then 3 now they're on 1 which gives us more time to finish shifting on 2.
It'll be worth it.
Aside from that I used my new blender for the first time.
It's fantastic.
As are fruit smoothies. I'm tempted to take one to work with me tomorrow but they would probably make fun of me.
Oh well, what else is new? Used to getting it with the family as I'm the nerd. But I'm okay with that.
"Danger Zone" Kenny Loggins
with all the tape definitely a dangerzone at work. but staff can still go to restricted stuff so it's amusing when patrons want stuff from like the picture book room cause i'm like ducking the tape, climbing over a couch, watching out for boxes grabbing the item then doing that in reverse all without hurting myself in the process. good workout for coordination.
Do we need another season of Celebrity Apprentice? Do people still watch that? Oh Trump.
Makes me want to watch Just Shoot Me. Jack the boss used to have competitions with Trump trying to lose the most weight or whatever and the loser had to golf in a dress. Funny stuff.
Alright, out for the night.

"Why would anyone want to eat something so PINK?!"
a volunteer exclaimed today when confronted with some Peeps.
Yeah.
I'm with ya.
Never really been a fan. Our family is more about the cadbury eggs. We barter for them.
-I'll trade you three twix bars plus one snickers for your cadbury egg.
-Nope. Not worth it.
It's serious business man.
Speaking of serious business, I have a serious problem.
I know, that for some people, this may be too shocking to read about.
Some may have to avert their eyes.
But it's become such a serious problem that I've just gotta say it.
So here we go.
Someone is stealing my spoons.
For serious.
I mean, I don't think a person would actually come in off the street and steal a spoon and leave.
Unless they're really twisted.
But the thing is, they go from the drawer, to the living room, to the dishwasher. So where the heck are they getting lost in between?
I have plenty replacements - I have boxes, literally boxes, of silverware so you don't need to buy me new ones.
I'm just really confused.
Where are they going?
I mean, they're not stuck in the dishwasher.
Or are they?
It's like that elusive sock vs. dryer thing.
Can an appliance really swallow something whole just to spite you?
Maybe the dishwasher is trying to tell me something.
Like that I need to stop cooking.
That something bad is going to happen and I need to stick with takeout.
Cause, I mean, what kind of takeout do you eat with a spoon? Really?
Maybe, the dishwasher is doing this for the good of the nation.
Yes, the NATION!
Not really.
Stupid spoons.
Where the heck are you going?
Like I said, serious problem.
But if that's my serious problem at the moment then I'm thinking life is good.
Today was especially good. Slept in, went to work for a couple of hours, took Squirt to her soccer game, then jammed with the family afterward.
Castle was excellent. Big episode. Did not see that ending coming. And the preview for next week's looks...interesting...but it is getting closer to the end of the season so I guess it's about time they brought this to the front.
And we missed half of The Voice so I'm gonna watch it now.
"What Makes You Beautiful" One Direction
so, the funny part about this song is that last week when I was driving Squirt back from the library this song started playing on the radio. at the same time - without conferring with each other - we both soundhound/shazam'd it to figure out what it was and who sang it. then realized that we both did it at the same time.
i'm digging it. they were on the x factor apparently, and they're british so if you don't know them that's probably why.
Tomorrow's a long day so I'm gonna watch The Voice and crash...
hahahaha, i'm sorry i have to laugh at the tags for this post. it looks like some kind of bad experiment or something.
Yeah.

You're my brown eyed girl.
So the wedding.
Awesome.
Oldest Sister dragged me dress shopping last week.
I got multiple. She did a victory dance.
But I'm not the girliest girl - which you have probably figured out by now - so I made Smo choose.
And the bride approved so she chose well.
Though I think my favorite moment was probably the boyfriend's facial expression when he saw me in the dress. Made me laugh.
Told him not to get used to it.
He says maybe it'll grow on me.
Highly doubtful, but a guy can dream.
The wedding was great. I told Beej I was proud she made it through without crying. She said she about lost it walking down the aisle.
I'm like, that's when you lean over and say "Dad, slow down, I need a minute!!"
As fun as the wedding was, the reception was 10 times as awesome.
And I gotta throw this out there. It was like a freakin' reunion. So many NELHS alum that one of our recruiters - the one who recruited me - made us take a group picture. We'll see where that one ends up. Highly likely it'll make its way to Facebook eventually.
Which reminds me that I need to upload my pictures...from the wedding and I still haven't put up the Alumni vs. Called Worker game pictures either. Woops.
Anyway, it's highly amusing now that everyone I went to high school with is old enough to drink. Needless to say many hijinks ensued. And most of them either won't be remembered and shouldn't be repeated so I'll leave it at that.
Though I do have to repeat this one.
The boyfriend was telling us a tale of a girl who thought that the song "Strawberry Wine" was some sort of reference to Jesus.
Smo looks over, serious as ever, and yells over the music, "But, it's about wine!!"
It was a great night. I had a lot of fun dancing, and chatting with some old high school friends - got to jam with Smo and Shel and Frizzy, yeah Sideburns!! and Sloan - I forgot how much fun these people were. There's a reason I loved high school. Even the boyfriend hit it off with some former college classmate who was randomly there.
So it was all about old friends making new memories and all that jazz.
Today, on the other hand, as much fun as it is to take over the library with a big shot of estrogen - there were 5 of us there today and we're all female - the majority us were dead on our feet. So I was glad it was relatively slow.
After work it was homework and then I finally got around to watching The Whistleblower.
Dark. And scary. And depressing. And more depressing.
But based on a true story, about a NEBRASKA cop turned peace-officer in Bosnia who uncovers a human trafficking ring. It's interesting watching the interviews with the real Kathryn Bolkovac. She literally wasn't trying to be a hero, she was just trying to do her job. It's completely fascinating but totally depressing.
Scale of Awesome says about a 7/10 I watched all the way through, couldn't leave until I knew how it ended. Not completely what I expected, but it definitely had its moments. And I mean how can you turn down Rachel Weisz and Nebraska? Really?
Alright, on the music:
"Brown Eyed Girl" Everclear
almost good as the original but it's hard to beat a classic
"What I Like About You" The Romantics
love the original and the remake by lillix. and the show. the show was fabulous.
Extra fun fact I learned today at work. The song "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland is considered a love song. From the 60's.
Which is ironic. Because it's neither a love song nor from the 60's.
And yet it made a 60's love songs compilation CD.
Hmmm....
Awesome.

Happy Hunger Games and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favor
IDK, my BFF Katniss?
Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.
Not that there are massive spoilers, but minor ones.
Okay, so after work myself, Slim Shady, Fearless Leader and BossLady - not to be confused with BossWoman aka SuperWoman - hit up an opening day showing of The Hunger Games.
With all the hype and build-up we're major nerds so we just hoped it wouldn't suck. That was the common thought throughout the week. Along with Oh it's gonna be great, I wonder how they'll do this, or how he'll play this, but the major one was I hope it doesn't suck.
And.
Well.
It didn't suck.
It wasn't uber-fantastic.
But I think at moments it was worth the hype.
I don't know, I'm going back and forth.
I did a poll after the movie, cause I'm the biggest nerd apparently, Fearless Leader gave it a 5-6 on the Scale of Awesome, BossLady said 6, and Slim Shady and myself said 7/10.
So overall we'll call it a strong 6.5
Which is mildly depressing.
I don't know, like I said I'm going and forth.
It definitely had its moments where I was on edge, and I jumped a few times, but it wasn't spectacular the whole was through. The beginning was slow but that's okay cause you need to know why they're fighting and all the background stuff. It picked up during the prep and actual games.
I'm wondering if maybe I hadn't read the book that they would have made it better?
Since I knew everything beforehand, yes I understood things more clearly than people who hadn't, but still I already knew what was going to happen next.
With the last Harry Potter it was the only one I didn't read and it was nice that way cause I didn't know what was happening. I had read the others beforehand and was frustrated they include certain elements from the book so for the last one it was like all I need are the highlights.
Besides it's a lot of pages to cover in 2.5 hours.
I'd explain the missing stuff but I'm guessing half of you ignored the spoiler warning at the top and plan on seeing this in the near-distant future so I'll shutup.
The cast was perfect in their roles, Lenny Kravitz included. and Jennifer Lawrence played Katniss so well that I actually belived it. I really loved that Laser from The Kids Are Alright played Peeta. Since I haven't read the last two I'm interested to see how that turns out.
Yes, I know I'm a horrible librarian. I recommend the series all the time but still haven't read the last two.
What else?
Costumes were great. The Capitol looking about like Lady Gaga's home planet.
It was action-packed, I'm actually surprised it was only rated PG:13 as it was so violent.
But well-deserved. I hope people get intersted in the rest of the stories. Right not there are about 100 holds on the first one.
I was glad we got our tickets in advance. Not that it was too crazy, but it was easier this way. And we got lucky finding four seats in a row.
We did have to laugh because I'm pretty sure the girl behind us hadn't read the books. There's a super serious part where someone dies and the chick started crying. Slim Shady and I looked at each other and just laughed. Inappropriate for the moment, but still.
Alright, I'm out for the night. Tomorrow is the wedding and I have to wear a dress. Sunday is work and homework and then Monday I'm half off, woohoo!
OUT!

"I added some garlic for pizazz!"
Okay, have you ever had one of those mornings where you wake up to someone pounding on your door, look at the clock and freak out, check your phone and see missed calls, and think oh crap I'm late for work and Superwoman sent the landlord to make sure I'm not dead?
Anyone?
Anyone?
I think I watch too many crime shows.
Fortunately, when I frantically ran to the door to assure the landlord that I'm not dead I opened the door and found my mother and Oldest Sister who had come to measure my curtains.
Then realized I didn't set an alarm cause I didn't have to go in until 4.
So I'm allowed to sleep until 12:30!! No judgments!! I was up until 4:30 the night before!!
Anyway, people are starting to think I'm dead on here as well. I'm not dead, but Sketch was here so here are some highlights from that past three? four? days:
-Ralph Nader is coming to Nebraska on Monday. I find this highly amusing, but not for political reasons. Basically in high school we took a government course and it was an election year. While everyone was making George Bush campaign posters and slogans we chose Ralph Nader and would shout "Go Green Party!" up and down the halls.
We were nerds.
Not much has changed.
But no I won't be going and shouting that up and down the halls there. I'm working cause I work and then I work some more. And some more.
-Fairly Legal Season One on DVD. I'm intrigued. It's not what I'm used to actually. She was a lawyer at her father's firm then he died and she rethought her life and became a mediator instead. Good cast of characters (including cousin Bobby from Sweet Home Alabama but I still see him as Preston from Can't Hardly Wait "Prestooooon! Yeah I like that guy!") that are semi-3 dimensional so it could turn out okay. I'll give it a 7/10 on the Scale of Awesome for now.
-Sketch coming means rest and relaxation. We're semi-lame. or I am at least. So we watch lots of movies and jam out and all that. Though it probably wasn't the best timing as I had to work all week. Totally forgot to give her the copies of the new Sketch and Edit's and if I post them on here first she will kill me.
-TAB kids fix all. I was freaked out about stuff all day, then we had our repurposing project where we took withdrawn books and turn them into crafts and I was completely relaxed. We talked about many things. One of the crafts was to make an apple out of a book like cut the edges so when you stood it up it would be an 3D apple. So I said we could make some other fruit and turn it into a hat like the Chiquita Banana Lady. And we don't joked about the Chiquita Banana Lady, she means serious business.
So then we said we should put together a vegetable one, but it would smell. I said I'd throw in some "garlic for pizazz!" to add some flair. Maybe scare some creepers off.
-When Oldest Sister is determined to take you dress shopping she will take you dress shopping. No excuses allowed. I got more than one. She did some victory dancing and cheering. Said she'd text mom.
Speaking of, dresses weren't the only thing I got tonight. Opened my mail and got a Choot 'em Lizbet!! Swamp People shirt from Mom I'm stoked!! I'd wear it tomorrow but I can't, wearing my District 12 shirt instead Hunger Games!!
-Going to Hunger Games tomorrow night. Hopefully it won't be totally packed, though I might be disappointed if it isn't. I hope it does well. And I really hope it doesn't suck.
Remember how we're nerds?
Yeah, we're all totally stoked.
-Finished my Booklist and got it published, check this: If You Like the Hunger Games
-Apparently, the requirements for becoming a Tennessee Titans Cheerleader are you must be over 18 and a high school graduate, dance experience is recommended, must be available during all games and my personal favorite you must be available to travel to Florida for annual swimsuit calendar shoot in May, June or July 2012. I love reference.
-They've started the shift at work. Basically they shelved the oversize books from the regular ones because they wouldn't fit on the shelf, so now they're changing the shelves and integrating them in with the regular size books. Which is fantastic because we don't have to lead people to two different places.
and that's that. completely random i'm aware. there are more but at the moment i'm totally blanking.
tune in tomorrow for some hunger games thoughts.
Anyone?

Basically they shelved the oversize books from the regular ones because they wouldn't fit on the shelf, so now they're changing the shelves and integrating them in with the regular size books. Which is fantastic because we don't have to lead people to two different places.
and that's that. completely random i'm aware. there are more but at the moment i'm totally blanking.
tune in tomorrow for some hunger games thoughts.

She's got the moon in her eyes.
We were musically serenaded at work today. A quartet turned sextet, or were there seven of them?
Anyway they played on first floor this afternoon so we got to jam to classical music for an hour.
It was pretty much me and John Boy paired up all day. We had a lot of fun, we always talk comics and music and movies and all that.
But I felt bad today cause with all the music and stuff on the first floor I couldn't like distract from the performance so I stayed behind the desk the whole time. Felt semi-lazy. And then of course Boss's Boss's Boss is there in the audience. But it's not like I can walk in front of them to put out new books and fix the displays.
So I stayed at the desk and helped people there. Trying not to go stir-crazy as it's slow on Sundays. But I learned a lot. Cause they played something from Beauty and the Beast I guess - Wordie explained it - which led me to Charles Perrault (even though it wasn't one of his) - which led me to other random history stuff.
Things I learned about today at work:
-The Labyrinth of Versailles - apparently before Perrault became Perrault the awful and gruesome fairytale author he was some sort of advisor to the king. Anyway, he once advised the king who had recently built this giant labyrinth - the whole maze deal with giant hedges and everything - that instead of having it just shrubs that he should include fountains. He said they should dedicate a fountain to each of Aesop's Fables and then put an inscription on each and they could use it as a way to teach the king's son aka the dauphin to read. So they had 39 statues plus two in the entry. And it sounds super cool! And I'd go visit it but then like a few years later they destroyed the whole thing!! and replaced it with some sort of exotic forest thing instead. Now only pieces of those fountains are left and they put them in the museum.
But isn't that cool?
Or am I just giving you another example of how big of a nerd I am?
If so here's another.
Anyway, so Beauty and the Beast led me to Charles Perrault which led me to the Labyrinth of Versailles which led me to the Affair of the Diamond Necklace - sounds like a cheesy romance novel right? No, but you're close - because the incident happened in the labyrinth.
Keep in mind that history isn't really my strongpoint so if you know this already just roll with it.
The story behind this one is that there's this necklace that was made for one of the king's mistresses and by the time it's finished the king is dead and his mistress is banished and now there's a new king. The jeweler is going broke cause the necklace was so expensive to make so he wants the new king aka Louis XVI to buy it from him and give it to his queen aka Marie Antoinette, but he refuses. So in comes a con-artist named Jeanne de Saint-Rémy de Valois and she basically had it out for Marie Antoinette. She decided that she was going to get the necklace for herself and use it to make lots of money and hopefully tarnish the queen's name in the process.
She became the mistress of a Cardinal named Rohan - I know right?! - who was not so high on the queen's favorite people in the world list. So, Jeanne, knowing this, convinced him she was friends with the queen and he could use her to his advantage to get back in the queen's good graces. Jeanne, who was obviously not friends with the queen, convinced him to write the queen letters, and then Jeanne intercepted them and sent them to a forger named Rétaux de Villette who responded to the letters in what Jeanne convinced him was the queen's handwriting. Eventually he began to believe the queen was in love with him - cause Rétaux was very persuasive in his letters - and he told Jeanne he wanted to meet the queen privately.
Jeanne, who has vast amounts of resources apparently but hey she's a con artist, hires a prostitute (Nicole Lequay d'Oliva) who looks like the queen and has her pretend to be Marie Antoinette and meet up with the Cardinal IN THE LABYRINTH OF VERSAILLES - see how it ties together?
He fell for it and so Jeanne kicked it up a notch. She started borrowing large amounts of money from the Cardinal claiming it was for one of the queen's charities and became very rich very quickly. She then convinced the jewelers that she could help convince Marie Antoinette to buy the necklace and save them from going completely broke.
In the meantime Rétaux is still writing letters back to the Cardinal as the queen so in one of them Jeanne makes him ask Rohan to get the necklace for her, claiming it would look bad in this time of poverty if Marie Antoinette was to buy lavish jewelry herself. He then goes and shows the jewelers the letters convincing them that the queen will pay for it, takes the necklace and gives it to who he thinks is one of the queen's lackeys but is actually Jeanne's real husband - who was secretly in on this whole thing. The husband took it to London and hawked it getting the money for himself and Jeanne.
When the jewelers came looking for payment they showed him the letters again but they said it wouldn't do so they talked to the real queen aka Marie Antoinette who obviously had no idea what the hell they were talking about. The king and queen summoned Rohan the Cardinal and he showed them the letters, which again Marie Antoinette didn't know about, so they arrested Rohan and sent him to the Bastille. On his way to prison he got word to Jeanne to destroy the rest of the letters which she did.
Soonafter Jeanne is arrested, as is Nicole and the forger Rétaux and then there's this giant trial. The Cardinal is eventually aquitted along with Nicole, Rétaux is banished, Jeanne's husband is sent to sail off on some ship for life, and Jeanne is sentenced to be beaten and sent to the prostitute's prison.
BUT! She's a con artist, so she escapes FROM PRISON!! dressed as a boy of all things. Again, this chick has some serious resources man. I really want to hate her, I do, but I'm just in awe. She hides out in London and writes her memoirs.
This whole trial thing was supposed to fix the royal's image but it just made it worse. For some reason people accused Marie Antoinette of being behind the whole plot because she hated Rohan. They thought she hired Jeanne and her husband to take down the Cardinal. And, since Jeanne is a con artist and very convincing, many people believed it!
Which I think is crap, but hey the queen wasn't exactly a gentle and innocent person.
This whole extravanganza inspired multiple novels including one by Alexandre Dumas aka "The Three Musketeers" author (amongst other works) and a movie starring Hillary Swank as Jeanne.
Which flopped, sad day.
And that's your history lesson for the day.
If you knew it already congratulations! But you still read the whole thing cause you're reading this.
So there!
I still had to laugh though, for my birthday I got the funniest card ever from the Cool Aunt. It has a picture of Marie Antoinette on the cover and says "All I said was Let's have cake! or Let's eat cake! or something like that and suddenly everyone got all pissy!" then you open it and it says, "Don't party with peasants. They ruin everything."
It's true, you know? Us simple folk? We're just lame.
Anyway, I found the whole thing fascinating as I have become interested - as of late - in the French Revolution. I blame this fact entirely on the Library Goddess. And I'm sure she'd own up to it. Cause she made us read this book by Jennifer Donnelly called "Revolution" for her young adult literature class.
Read it.
It will change your outlook on life!
Or maybe not, but it certainly shook up my life for two days, I couldn't put it down!! but had to cause you know I had to work and all that.
It was like the Hunger Games - though there were no similarities in the storyline other than a strong female protagonist - in that my life revolved around that book when I was reading it. Nothing else mattered, I just wanted to finish the damn book cause I had to know what happened.
At the moment I'm pretty sure it's at Smo's apartment, perhaps I can steal it back from her this weekend.
And I want to re-read the Hunger Games this week but I don't know if that will happen or not.
This week is pretty busy. For starters, Sketch is coming tomorrow, woohoo! and staying for a few days, then Friday is the Hunger Games with Slim Shady, Fearless Leader and our yet-to-be-nicknamed newest awesome Supervisor, who happens to be our age.
And Saturday! is an old friend's wedding and it will be party central. She was one of the bridesmaids in my college roommate's cowboy boot wedding - we all went to high school together. I'm dragging the boyfriend along, he seems thrilled let me tell you, though I did give him an out on multiple occasions and he took none of them.
I told him he didn't have to wear a tie, though I'm sure I will have to wear something of extravagance more than jeans because my sisters would kill me.
That has yet to be decided. The wardrobe choice I mean, not that they'd kill me we already know that for sure.
Anyway, I don't have to be awake until like 3 tomorrow cause I don't start until 4 so I'm gonna go back to editing cause I'm sure no more work will get done this week. Sketch is good with the whole distraction thing, I don't get a lot accomplished if she's here or we're on the phone.
Song of the night:
I felt "Witchy Woman" was appropriate for Jeanne's story and found this version...
I'm still debating on what I think about that.
Thoughts?

You should've apologized to my horse.
So I watched The Three Musketeers on DVD today as it came out Tuesday. "was it 40 or 400?" "just the 40. it was an off day."
Awesome special features with extended scenes and interviews on set with the actors and crew.
The awesomeness demands a sequel - especially since Orlando is headed to France to start a war - and he travels by ship but no pirates in sight.
But it's one of those movies that needs a sequel because of the ending or lack there of. But then I'm not sure of its ratings or viewer numbers which would answer the question of would there be any interest in a sequel if it were made in the first place? But this one needs it! You know? Just like I Am Number Four.
Major cliffhanger.
Sequel in the works? No idea. Though the novel is offically published. And I own it. Sitting on the shelves in front of me.
Now I just need the motivation to read it.
And about 20 others sitting right next to it.
I'll stick to the editing in the meantime. Made a lot of progress tonight was proud. I find it relaxing, but then again I'm a nerd. But it gives me a chance to use my English major skills.
Cause you know knowing things about classical literature quirks, rhyming structures, grammatical trends, or being able to name the author or title doesn't help me at all at my day job.
A Library Service Associate who knows things about literature? What is the world coming to?
Sequels, that's where I was going.
Know what does have a sequel? and a third installment this upcoming summer? Men In Black. "This definitely rates about a 9.0 on my weird-shit-o-meter." Apparently I'm way behind cause I had no idea they were bringing it back. Wasn't the second one a disaster? I mean I love Rosario Dawson but she's the only thing I remember from the entire movie. And I don't even remember how she was involved in the plot it's been so long. She was probably the killer monster or something.
There are a lot of good movies coming out this summer aside from that you've got The Avengers. The Dark Knight Rises. The new GI Joe. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Bourne Legacy. That should be especially good as it ended the way it ended.
But enough about all that. I was actually productive today. Well semi-productive. The majority of my work I can't do until Monday.
Today was good though. Flew by pretty quickly, though I was expecting a weirder day aside from being the "in charge but not actually in charge" person cause I had worked there the longest out of the employees that weren't at lunch during that hour. Which never happens ever cause I still consider myself a new employee even though I've been there almost 2 years. Though I still am pretty much the youngest of the bunch.
Of course that's when all the killer reference questions came in. But no, I was waiting for bizarre crazy stuff cause this morning I made every single light. And that never happens. So something was off.
Falling asleep as I write. I've been staring at this screen for too long, even my cat thinks I'm overduing it. He's konked out next to me about an hour ago. How do you spell overduing? or is it overdueing? or is it even a word at all? Like I said, sleep is near. And nearer. and nearer. and nearer. I don't think nearer's a word either.
You know what's a weird word? Fork. Sorry Drew reference there. That would've been a good one on nitrous. But I probably would have laughed and then he would have sliced my tongue off.
yes i realize this post went absolutely nowhere.
nearer and nearer. Okay, I'm out of here. Have a good one!

Thoughts from my Nitrous-addled brain…plus the GCB
Apparently, if my six-year-old nephew can get cavities filled I can get cavities filled.
Or so said my mother in her pep talk on the way to the dentist this morning.
Made me feel semi-pathetic but it worked. I can get cavities filled. As long as there is nitrous involved.
Dude, that stuff is wicked awesome. And I was on it for over an hour so there were a lot of random thoughts that went through my mind.
Thoughts that came to mind while I was on Nitrous:
-Dude. What if like people didn’t have noses. That would suck. Then we’d always have to breathe through our mouths. And then if something happened to your mouth you couldn't breathe. And then you'd be dead. All cause you had no nose.
-Dude. If I flinch is he going to slice off my tongue?
-Dude. That freakin’ repurposing project is this week. How am I gonna finish all those crafts, pilfer a mass amount of withdrawn books, and act semi-crafty in front of the kids? Granted I’ve started on some but they are questionable. But that’s what Squirt and Mentor are for.
-Dude. How awful of an editor am I? I’ve had her stories for over two months and they’re still not finished. How did I used to have time to do all this stuff plus write my own before? Oh right, that was college. Who studied in college? Joe Studley doesn’t like it when I say I guessed or rambled about stuff and got a 4.0 for two semesters.
-Dude. I’m running out of time on my DVR. I need to watch some of those shows so I can delete them and add more.
-Dude. I have so many useless fact books checked out that I should probably make an attempt at reading. Or the one Wordie gave me. A year ago. That’s still sitting on my endtable. But I don’t read books I check out from the library. I think they’re a good idea, so I check them out. And then ultimately I get distracted. However, if I buy the book then I don’t have to worry about due dates or if I’m in the mood to read in this three week period. And then I read.
-Dude. I’m gonna take a monster nap after this.
-Dude. My freakin’ curtains have yet to be hung up in the living room. I hate napping in the light.
-Dude. How does this crap stay in your mouth? If I eat something is it gonna come out. I will puke. Or pass out. Or puke and then pass out.
-Dude. Puking and passing out is not pleasant.
There were a few more Dude’s, but I’ll move on, you get the point.
My dentist rocks. And my hygenist sits with me to make sure I don't pass out.
And they let me wear headphones. Though no singing, sorry Sensei. I was competent enough to control that.
And it wasn't so bad. I made them laugh when I told them my sibling's story. Basically Second Sister was like,
"why does the dentist pinch you when you have a cavity?" and my brother was like,
"that's not a pinch you idiot that's a shot."
and she didn't believe him so he said to keep her eyes open when she's there, then she saw the needle and hated my brother for that.
So after the joy that was nitrous and the fact that I couldn't feel anything or swallow anything for like hours I took a nap. It was wicked awesome. Except it's light out so I really need to hang up these curtains. They've been sitting on my foosball table for like a year.
After my wicked awesome nap with my cat I caught up on some DVR. I don't think he knows what to do when I'm home during the day. He just stares at me. Or bites me cause I'm on his couch.
Anyway, DVR. So I watched Missing. Fantastic. Ashley Judd is a badass. Which I don't think I've said since Double Jeopardy.
Caught up on Bones, it was very creepy at the beginning which was exciting cause it's always so comedic and that's a change of pace. Reminded me of the Gormagon episodes, which were awesome. But then this one ended randomly - it was like is this a cliffhanger or not? Cause I mean are they going to pursue him next episode or is this just another one of those they'll come back to later. There was no big moment at the end to explain. I wish it was a bigger cliffhanger, you know? Something that would make me start watching it live time again? It's not as exciting anymore now that they're finally together. Sorry, ramble-nation.
The GCB is fabulous. I'm in love with it already and there's only been two episodes. BUT IT'S SO FUNNY!
Leslie Bibb is great as ever it's good to see her back in a starring role, Kristin Chenowith is always fantastic, plus you throw in a bunch of other actresses that I know from all these other shows and it's like I KNOW YOU! But how the hell do I know you? Like the chick that plays Heather, took me until the second episode to realize what she was from. I just kept seeing her dancing and hanging out of a limo. And then it hit me, VEGAS VACATION!
Anyway, I love it because it's original and it has fantastic one-liners.
Here are a few of my favorites:
-My bible's in my other purse.
-Why would anyone in their right mind leave Dallas for southern California? We’ve got the same weather without the liberals!
-She’s a yo-yo’er, right now the yo is up.
-Oh darlin’ you were a bitch with teeth.
-You reap what you sow – that’s Texan for karma.
-Onward you christian soldier.
-Got a job at a booby bar. - think that's my favorite cause she says it so blase in her opening narrative
-My husband just died, I’m still mourning the bastard for god’s sake!
-...or I’m gonna move me and the kids to a refrigerator box under the interstate, understood?
-As long as it’s the I-20, nobody we know ever rides that road.
-God she’s such a Pharisee.
-Well, someone’s been reading her New Testament.
-No I just googled hypocrisy.
-You have two guns? Mother what are you afraid of?
-*pulls out a shotgun* Not a damn thing.
So yes, you should watch it. It's fantastic. And now I'm stoked for Scandal. Though it doesn't start until like Mid-April.
Alright, DVR is updated, homework is done and posted, tomorrow is 9-6 so I'm out!
"Moves Like Jagger" Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera
awesome jam song.

-Dude. What if like people didn’t have noses. That would suck. Then we’d always have to breathe through our mouths. And then if something happened to your mouth you couldn't breathe. And then you'd be dead. All cause you had no nose.
-Dude. If I flinch is he going to slice off my tongue?
-Dude. That freakin’ repurposing project is this week. How am I gonna finish all those crafts, pilfer a mass amount of withdrawn books, and act semi-crafty in front of the kids? Granted I’ve started on some but they are questionable. But that’s what Squirt and Mentor are for.
-Dude. How awful of an editor am I? I’ve had her stories for over two months and they’re still not finished. How did I used to have time to do all this stuff plus write my own before? Oh right, that was college. Who studied in college? Joe Studley doesn’t like it when I say I guessed or rambled about stuff and got a 4.0 for two semesters.
-Dude. I’m running out of time on my DVR. I need to watch some of those shows so I can delete them and add more.
-Dude. I have so many useless fact books checked out that I should probably make an attempt at reading. Or the one Wordie gave me. A year ago. That’s still sitting on my endtable. But I don’t read books I check out from the library. I think they’re a good idea, so I check them out. And then ultimately I get distracted. However, if I buy the book then I don’t have to worry about due dates or if I’m in the mood to read in this three week period. And then I read.
-Dude. I’m gonna take a monster nap after this.
-Dude. My freakin’ curtains have yet to be hung up in the living room. I hate napping in the light.
-Dude. How does this crap stay in your mouth? If I eat something is it gonna come out. I will puke. Or pass out. Or puke and then pass out.
-Dude. Puking and passing out is not pleasant.
There were a few more Dude’s, but I’ll move on, you get the point.
My dentist rocks. And my hygenist sits with me to make sure I don't pass out.
And they let me wear headphones. Though no singing, sorry Sensei. I was competent enough to control that.
And it wasn't so bad. I made them laugh when I told them my sibling's story. Basically Second Sister was like,
"why does the dentist pinch you when you have a cavity?" and my brother was like,
"that's not a pinch you idiot that's a shot."
and she didn't believe him so he said to keep her eyes open when she's there, then she saw the needle and hated my brother for that.
So after the joy that was nitrous and the fact that I couldn't feel anything or swallow anything for like hours I took a nap. It was wicked awesome. Except it's light out so I really need to hang up these curtains. They've been sitting on my foosball table for like a year.
After my wicked awesome nap with my cat I caught up on some DVR. I don't think he knows what to do when I'm home during the day. He just stares at me. Or bites me cause I'm on his couch.
Anyway, DVR. So I watched Missing. Fantastic. Ashley Judd is a badass. Which I don't think I've said since Double Jeopardy.
Caught up on Bones, it was very creepy at the beginning which was exciting cause it's always so comedic and that's a change of pace. Reminded me of the Gormagon episodes, which were awesome. But then this one ended randomly - it was like is this a cliffhanger or not? Cause I mean are they going to pursue him next episode or is this just another one of those they'll come back to later. There was no big moment at the end to explain. I wish it was a bigger cliffhanger, you know? Something that would make me start watching it live time again? It's not as exciting anymore now that they're finally together. Sorry, ramble-nation.
The GCB is fabulous. I'm in love with it already and there's only been two episodes. BUT IT'S SO FUNNY!
Leslie Bibb is great as ever it's good to see her back in a starring role, Kristin Chenowith is always fantastic, plus you throw in a bunch of other actresses that I know from all these other shows and it's like I KNOW YOU! But how the hell do I know you? Like the chick that plays Heather, took me until the second episode to realize what she was from. I just kept seeing her dancing and hanging out of a limo. And then it hit me, VEGAS VACATION!
Anyway, I love it because it's original and it has fantastic one-liners.
Here are a few of my favorites:
-My bible's in my other purse.
-Why would anyone in their right mind leave Dallas for southern California? We’ve got the same weather without the liberals!
-She’s a yo-yo’er, right now the yo is up.
-Oh darlin’ you were a bitch with teeth.
-You reap what you sow – that’s Texan for karma.
-Onward you christian soldier.
-Got a job at a booby bar. - think that's my favorite cause she says it so blase in her opening narrative
-My husband just died, I’m still mourning the bastard for god’s sake!
-...or I’m gonna move me and the kids to a refrigerator box under the interstate, understood?
-As long as it’s the I-20, nobody we know ever rides that road.
-God she’s such a Pharisee.
-Well, someone’s been reading her New Testament.
-No I just googled hypocrisy.
-You have two guns? Mother what are you afraid of?
-*pulls out a shotgun* Not a damn thing.
So yes, you should watch it. It's fantastic. And now I'm stoked for Scandal. Though it doesn't start until like Mid-April.
Alright, DVR is updated, homework is done and posted, tomorrow is 9-6 so I'm out!
