Class today flew by pretty quickly. One of my colleagues in the library system gave a talk on some good young adult books so it was cool to see her in action.
I got some more Library Goddess-isms, and there are more than usual this time because I haven't posted any for the past couple classes.
LG: "They call it the highrise because it's the only building there with 2 stories." LG: "Support a para-professional a year, pay your library fines!"
LG: "Death by detail"
LG: "Hoarders...one time's all you need."
LG: "He didn't pay taxes, but neither did Ford Motor Company."
LG: "Maybe they were sick the day they covered Verbs."
LG: "Death by guidelines."
LG: "I get burnin' needs...is that a song?"
LG: "I don't care if it's 2041, email me!"
LG reading book: "I'm worried the lady's gonna be a hooker and you're worried she's gonna be Betty Crocker!"
LG: "Practice in your car, they'll just think you're singing."
LG: "I've been booktalking since dirt!"
LG: "I've read that book four times and I still don't know what happens!"
LG: "Like we'd know if you mess up...if it falls apart just lie!"
LG: "Big plastic fish thing." Jaws, she was talking about Jaws.
After class I came back and watching some more Covert Affairs...even though I own it and not the DVDs I have checked out and are due soon. That's my problem, I always get distracted by something I own already then run out of time.
Then I went to see one of the most rockingest bands here in Lincoln play at a bar downtown. The awesomeness that is "Some Assembly Required". AND there was yet another instance for the "My Boss is Cooler Than Your Boss" series mentioned here: My Life in Closed Captions: Here's a little segment called: "My boss is cooler... cause Superwoman totally bought me a drink. But apparently now I'm down to 95 points. Which is super depressing cause I was up to 129! Man. I'm gonna have to start bringing her cookies or something cause Space Cadet is kickin' my butt in points.
Song for the night:
"Can I Keep You" by Some Assembly Required
Okay, so this is my favorite of their songs. They play a lot of covers so when they started this one and I loved it I had to google the lyrics on my phone. They now give me crap about that but it's just a great song. I hope you guys enjoy it too. Anyway, two drinks and numerous jokes about the exotic dancers next door later I'm back at the apartment.

Friday, June 3, 2011
Okay, so you're a rocket scientist.
Only 11 and all homework is done and posted. Pictures are printed, bag is packed, clothes are laid out, shower is taken, now all that's left is the sleeping part. Did I mention I wasn't a morning person?
Oh! and I figured out what the camera was taking pictures of in the beginning of Covert Affairs (scroll down to previous post) she's taking a polygram test and they're filming it.
Work went pretty fast, I felt kind of special today since I got to train one of the workers coming back for the summer. Big potatoes.
Dinner with the cool aunt was wicked awesome. She let me keep the leftovers. I've been practicing self-control and finished my homework instead of devouring them while watching Covert Affairs. That's next on my list. But she never lets me pay for anything. It's like a knock-down drag-out fight when you get all the women in our family together and they want to figure out the bill. Seriously.
So, Zombies vs. Unicorns is officially finished and I'm still in this weird altered mind state right now, even without the cough medicine! It just got weirder and weirder. But it was good. Not something I'm going to read over and over but it'll go on my shelf instead of being boxed in my closet or donated to the library. Which is an honor actually. I meant the shelf part, but yes, donating to the library is an honor as well.
Quotes of the night:
-"The scared in my eyes" what my dad said when he gave me driving lessons and held on for dear life.
-"Layers of candy wrappers" cause you should see the equipment when my brother's done with it for the year
-"All candy lunch" apparently, on the last day of school each year my parents would pack us an all candy lunch. i have no recollection of this.
-"Oh, go write a book!" other awesome aunt's comeback to something snarky said to her
pretty sure there were more but the cough medicine is taking effect. affect? effect? yep, definitely working. i'm gonna crash now.
Music Recs in my aunts honor:
Mary Chapin Carpenter "Shut up and Kiss Me"
I remember listening to a lot of her music on our family vacations. gotta love it.
Shania Twain "Don't Impress Me Much"
pretty sure we listened to this song about 50 times within a couple hours. smart cousin and me were totally jamming the whole time...especially to the "just in case" line.
tomorrow is class then go watch friend's band play... once i figure out where the place they're playing is located.
out like trout in a drout filled with clout. .... i'll explain that when i try to interpret it tomorrow. it was funny, i read through yesterday's post and there were multiple times when i said, "umm where was i going with this again?" and then i remembered more stuff. which now of course i've forgotten. so i'm gone like the song about donkey kong in a tho-whoa! done.

sickness, bee stings, greek mythology, zombies, unicorns, evil woman, sheryl crow.....cough medicine.
I'm sick. I have a cold. And it sucks. I've spent the day in bed - yes my actual bed Sketch - drowning myself in cough medicine and surrounding myself with kleenex's. Which made me laugh...but that's more of a long story.
Work today was a bit of a blur. I only had to get into the bookdrop for less than a minute this time. Which was exciting...until I saw the bees. Because apparently spiders and ants weren't enough. I have to admit I had kind of a sister-in-law reaction, grabbed the cart and ran back to the building once it was full. She's deathly afraid of bees. I've only been stung once. Of course it was while I was moving pipe with my brother. I screamed and dropped the pipe. Then while I was bent over in pain he stared and said, "ready yet?" But I love him. Especially when he serenades me with "Rooooooxaaaaaannnnne." Because in the morning that's super funny...My full-grown brother singing...on the particular morning I'm remembering it followed his rendition of some Whitney Houston song, can't remember which one, and we were sitting in the truck waiting for dad because the wheel had fallen off the pipe trailer a whole 3 times already. So yeah, we were done for the day. I almost cheered as he swore up a storm. Cause that meant I got to go back home, take a shower, and go back to bed. Early mornings really aren't my thing. In case you haven't noticed already.
But I guess it was a good day to be sick as I get to spend it in bed, reading/listening to my books for class and finishing the homework. I'm motivated to be done because then I get to konk out and turn on "Covert Affairs" season one, then go out to dinner tomorrow night with the cool aunt for sushi.
And, maybe it's the cough medicine, but I seriously feel like I should ramble about these books. Cause oh my god. Seriously.
Okay so book #7 was "The Lost Hero" by Rick Riordan and we had to listen to the audio format. It was actually pretty good, I'm thinking about reading the sequel after class is over and I have time. I love the Greek Mythology aspect as I'm kind of a nerd about that stuff and ancient Egypt.
But the thing about audio books is that they're good and bad.
Audio book Pro #1 - You can take and listen to them anywhere.
Audio book Con #1 - You feel like you must take and listen to them anywhere. Then you forget you left disc whatever in the car so instead of running out to get it you feel like jumping to the next one but you can't because you're already so lost in all of the backstory you're hoping that the end of the disc in the car will explain something!
Pro #2 - You can multitask while listening, like clean and unpack your apartment, make food, take a shower, clean your apartment, play with your cat, attempt to take a nap, clean your apartment...
Con #2 - The dude reads at a slower pace then what I'm used to so it takes forever to get through a disc! 16+ hours...man.
...there were more pros and cons in my head when I started typing but now I can't remember them. Cough medicine. I'll add them in later.
And okay, here-in comes the oh my god. "Zombies vs. Unicorns". Fun fact #1, actually shelved in the nonfiction section...but that's cause it's a collection of short stories by different authors. Still funny.
Anyway, the stories alternate between being about zombies and unicorns. Except for this one dude who tried to do a cross-over and failed epically. But it's by several authors and two editors who kind of have this running commentary and it's hilarious!
Question though, is it weird that I'm totally more freaked out by the stories about unicorns than the ones about zombies? I'm serious. There's some messed up stuff in there. Like you're thinking rainbows and stickers and flowers and stuff, and while there is a bit of that, duuuude. There's a lot more gore and killing and just disgusting stuff in these ones than in the zombie ones! And zombies eat brains! I'm gonna have nightmares about some killer unicorn coming to eat me and then having some weird zombie guy with half his face avenge me. Freaking cough medicine.
I've totally taken the zombie side in this whole debate. And if you haven't you should read the book. Then you will as well. Just, oh my god. But if you do read it, be warned. It's graphic. Like seriously graphic.
And now I'm going to go read the last few pages of ZvsU, then turn on Covert Affairs and crash. I can finish the rest of the homework tomorrow night after sushi with the cool aunt.
oh right, music recs. cough medicine. ummm... turning ipod on shuffle. which reminds me about my summer songs thing.
Remember how I'm a nerd? and I have all this music on my ipod? Well, every summer after school got out for like the past 4 years I have this thing called a "summer song" which is basically the first song that plays on my ipod (i put it on shuffle) when i'm released from school that year. and I have to listen to it every time it comes up on my ipod without skipping it for the entire summer. Cause I'm a nerd. and have a lot of music. so I skip a lot. But yeah, have been holding off on that since I'm still technically in school til mid June.
oh yay, more family stuff.
"Evil Woman" Electric Light Orchestra
my sisters and i sing this song quite often. delayed...reaction has also murdered this song during a karaoke party a long time ago. fun times.
"First Cut is the Deepest" Sheryl Crow
okay, is it me, or do both of these titles seem to fit in with the whole ZvsU theme? or maybe it's the cough medicine.
I'm gonna sleep now. or turn on Covert Affairs. I hit "play all" last night and don't remember anything past the camera taking pictures of something in the first frame of the series....don't even remember what it's taking pictures of.
...mmmm sleep.

And the whole town said the boy should've used red..
Listening to more of my audio book, now on disc #10 out of 14. Making progress. Love that they stop on their quest in Omaha. Awesomeness.
Work today was a bit frantic. It was the first day of summer reading so there were kids everywhere! Hopefully by tomorrow things will have slowed down a bit so I can get everything shelved. I have the afternoon off so I'll finish this book and get at least halfway thru book #8. Maybe I'll finish that one as well then I'll have all Friday night to finish the homework that goes along with reading them.
Anyway, 9-6 today then went shopping - And I actually remembered to get all of those things on my shopping list, woohoo!
Songs for the night:
"Jolene" by Dolly Parton
love it. also love Me First's version of it, and Reba's.
"John Deere Green" Joe Diffie
just for you Sketch. now don't hurt me.
Tomorrow is halfday so hopefully more progress will be made on homework stuff. As much as I love the class I still miss sleep. This weekend should be fun. Saturday night we're going to see friend's band play again then Sunday might go see Pirates, depending on how tired I am after Saturday...
Out for now. Have a good one.

She said I love the way you think but I hate the way you act.
I was totally productive today. I'm proud of myself. You would be too. Cleaned my room - like officially unpacked. I've lived here over a year now, it was time. But the boxes are gone, stuff is put away in the closet, posters are on the wall, stuff is shredded and in the trash - all while I listened to my audio book for class. Ha! Multi-tasking. I'm on disc 9 out of 14 so it was good day.
Except for the bookdrop thing. I'm all for bookdrops. I love them. They're easy and awesome, until you have to climb in one. I just felt like showering all morning. But we had so much stuff since we were closed for two days and it was overflowing. Blah. Lots and lots of checking in. But I just shelved - huzzah! And I actually shelved everything before noon so that was exciting. Then came back here intending to shower and nap but instead listening to my book and deciding it was time to unpack. I worked hard today. And actually feel a sense of accomplishment. So huzzah! to that.
But yeah, disc 9 of 14 on book #7. I'm thinking of burning the rest of them on my computer and uploading them to my ipod so I can listen on the go. A decent book so far, it's pretty intriguing but I still wish I could get through it faster so I can figure out what's really going on. There's a lot of backstory, so there's more things revealed in every chapter. I have to finish it just to figure out what everything means! I actually got this for a decent price off Amazon but a bunch of my classmates got it for free on some trial thing on there. Totally jealous. Anyway, tomorrow I need to go shopping, so then I can multitask as well if it's on my ipod. I need pop, cat food, human food, light bulbs, and more pop. I'm hoping that writing these down - well, putting these out there - will help me to remember what I need. But of course I'll forget.
Okay, one more thing, I think Facebook needs a "poke all" button. Just because so many people freaking poke me - it's a poke war basically - and it takes forever to hit "poke back". It'd be nice to just hit one button and be done.
"No Such Thing"
my favorite of his songs, other than "Daughter"
"Always" Rilo Kiley
although the song doesn't really start start until like 1:48, not sure why the intro is so long. kind of annoying. i always find myself skipping ahead. so that's my advice to you. if you actually listen to the song, skip ahead to around 1:40. from then on, awesomeness.
and since that one had a late start and was more like a half I'll hit you with another.
"Steal My Kisses" Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals
another late start, skip to 0:40.
out!

On this lovely bella notte....
I couldn't post last night since our internet was done but I'll try not to ramble on too long tonight.
Anybody do anything special for Memorial Day? I remember, a few years ago, we went to a cemetary with one of my uncles and he was telling this story - apparently, one of our relatives was quite the drinker and the doctor told him it was unhealthy so he should stop. The dude looks at the doctor and says, "I know a lot more old drunks than old doctors." Awesome.
I was actually pretty productive this weekend. I cleaned out a section of my closet, had a camp meeting - led the thing even though i'm the youngest - sent out a bunch of application letters - after stuffing envelopes and writing addresses for a couple hours. Feels good. But the letters are out so I should get more forms this week. Then it'll just be camp central.
I also am on disc #3 out of 14 for Book #7. We have to listen to the audio version and I'll listen to more of that tomorrow between shifts while I clean my apartment....I say in a semi-dream state, it's highly probably that I'll nap instead.
Tonight I went over to oldest sister's house to have dinner and watched I Am Number Four - which I talked about on here earlier. It was the one we went to and didn't know anything about it so we said if it sucked we'd just make commentary. It was surpringly entertaining. Just like Swamp People. "Shoot it Jacob!"
"Work Hard, Play Harder" Gretchen Wilson
love it, and the videos cool with the images projected on the barn.
"Bella Notte" Glee version
been in my head all weekend. love the 1:18 switchover to acapella. although it's not much of a beautiful night tonight. storm central!
alright, i'm out. work tomorrow.

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door.
Gotta love Dad's TV. It's huge. But it's also filled with the most random DVR'd stuff ever. Ranges from "Body of Proof" - mom's choice since she's already taping 2 things in her room at that time - to "Hee Haw". And oh my god, don't get him started on Hee Haw. Seriously.
But I'm in here tonight since Aunt and Uncle are staying over in my room. Not a problem, I like this couch and this TV is seriously nice.
Let me scroll through my DVR options here, I already caught up on my "Body of Proof", next up:
American Pickers. Hilarious. Now if only they could come to the farm and look in Dad's old buildings. It's a good show, every once in a while I watch it. I can do without his endless metaphors though.
Then Swamp People. Oh my god. I'm still laughing.
Aunt D: "What do you think of him?"
Me: "I think he looks like my ex boyfriend."
But mine had better teeth. Same sense of humor. Can you believe people do that for a living? This episode is the "Gator Gauntlet" and there's some dude catching them alive with his bare hands.
Gonna skip past "O'Reilly Factor" ...think I'd rather watch "Swamp People". Then there's "American Restoration" "Pawn Stars" "Market to Market" ...was that "Fringe"?!?! It is! Must be one of Mom's. What's "Imus in the Morning" ? Says business/financial...SKIP! Hmmm... "Classic Tractor Fever".... hmmm... interesting title, but no. GLEE! Yay for another one of Mom's. New York episode sounds good. I'll probably konk out about halfway through anyway.
Just one tonight:
"500 Miles" The Proclaimers
aww, yay for young johnny! love 1:38. fantastic.
Alright, out for the night.
But I'm in here tonight since Aunt and Uncle are staying over in my room. Not a problem, I like this couch and this TV is seriously nice.
Let me scroll through my DVR options here, I already caught up on my "Body of Proof", next up:
American Pickers. Hilarious. Now if only they could come to the farm and look in Dad's old buildings. It's a good show, every once in a while I watch it. I can do without his endless metaphors though.
Then Swamp People. Oh my god. I'm still laughing.
Aunt D: "What do you think of him?"
Me: "I think he looks like my ex boyfriend."
But mine had better teeth. Same sense of humor. Can you believe people do that for a living? This episode is the "Gator Gauntlet" and there's some dude catching them alive with his bare hands.
Gonna skip past "O'Reilly Factor" ...think I'd rather watch "Swamp People". Then there's "American Restoration" "Pawn Stars" "Market to Market" ...was that "Fringe"?!?! It is! Must be one of Mom's. What's "Imus in the Morning" ? Says business/financial...SKIP! Hmmm... "Classic Tractor Fever".... hmmm... interesting title, but no. GLEE! Yay for another one of Mom's. New York episode sounds good. I'll probably konk out about halfway through anyway.
Just one tonight:
"500 Miles" The Proclaimers
aww, yay for young johnny! love 1:38. fantastic.
Alright, out for the night.

Justin Bieber has left your page.
Let's just leave it at that. Seriously. Yes, I like pie, but no I'm not going to tell you that over an instant message service at work.
Alright, both books are read, all homework is finished and posted. Concrete poem in place. Not my favorite but it works. I turn a bit perfectionist about these things.
Smo and I are watching 30 Rock, loving it totally.
-"No, Liz. Cinderella is blonde. You can be Snow White and party with the little people."
-"We gotta boogie, gang."
...fantastic.
alright, in his honor, he's the songs of the night.
"Baby" Glee version
"Somebody to Love" also Glee version
love it.
OUT!

I hear you knocking, go back where you been.
Halfday at work, staff meeting, then back room then public service, public service. Then I finished both Book #5 and #6 plus did the whole homework for #5 plus started on homework for book #6 all in 10 hours. I just gotta finish posting wiki stuff for #6 tonight before I crash. Then I'll do the concrete poem tomorrow. We basically have to write a poem but make it appealing visually in some sort of shape that fits the poem. I'm thinking of writing mine on one of the side characters and putting it in the shape of a camera as she is a photographer. However, I am artistically challenged - ask Sketch - so that may change as I write the thing. Maybe I'll post it on here if it doesn't totally suck.
So, that said, it was homework and reading central this afternoon although I did break for food sometime this evening and watched some 30 Rock - hysterical. Loving Liz Lemon.
Songs for the night:
"I Hear You Knocking" Wynonna Judd
My favorite version of the song - karaoke classic, btw. fantastic jam out song.
Although the whole gospel music channel thing made me laugh.
"Rescue Me" Fontella Bass
sorry about the screaming in the beginning. you may have to adjust your volume.
Tomorrow I think I'm at both places all day, I'll have to check my book before I go anywhere. And we are closed Sunday and Monday! Huzzah! So it's just Friday and Saturday left. But yeah, work then homework. That's life.
sorry, couldn't resist. one of my favorite scenes, and yes, add in the headphones and that is totally how i clean everything. dancing like an idiot. it makes cleaning fun.

The Words I Couldn't Say
At lunch today it was hilarious. Slim Shady was looking at a magazine that had a picture of J-Lo in this like giant gold outfit. All sparkly and god-y and just like, whoa. It was seriously just whoa. So I was like,
"You should totally get that and wear it to work."
and Boss's Boss's Boss was there, she looks over and says, "It's not shorts..." and walks away. I laughed so hard. Cause yeah, that's basically our only policy. No shorts. I take that as a thumbs up from Boss's Boss's Boss, and really, who's gonna argue with her?
Only worked 'til 4 today, then had dinner with some family and oh man, was feeling bad for that waitress. Lots of food, kids galore.... anyway, three drinks later and I'm back on my couch getting ready to read until I fall asleep.
So, music for tonight and then I'm gone. We'll go with soundtracks, cause I love them.
"Words I Couldn't Say" Leighton Meester - Country Strong
love this song. this and their duet I think are the best. well that and Country Strong itself. Gwyneth is awesome, but this girl has got some serious talent.
"Just My Immagination" The Cranberries at P3 - Charmed
love the song and this ep. fantastic. yes, i'm a nerd, get over it.
OUT!

You'll probably move right through me on my way to you.
Okay, it's official, I've been at both branches for a year. Woohoo! Huzzah! And other celebration declarations!
Spent the morning shelving, then the afternoon watching more DVDs that are checked out and due soon plus did a little reading. I'm hoping to get down to only a hundred pages left in Book #5 by the end of the night. But that's just hoping, I might fall asleep in the meantime. I've been exhausted all day. Was up way too late last night. But Bridesmaids was hysterical and you know when you're on like an emotional high and you just can't sleep? That was me. So I watched half a season of Frasier, seriously like two discs worth of episodes to zen me out but it didn't work. I think I was out by maybe 3 or so. Then, at like 7AM, somebody like buzzed or beeped - I guess it's more of a loud beep - me and I don't know if they were intentionally hitting my button or if they just needed in or what but I totally just laid there hoping they would go away. And I checked my phone to make sure it wasn't like my mother saying why aren't you awake and letting me in? But no messages and no second beeps so I think it was just someone forgetting their keys or something. Cause, clearly, if it was meant for me and it's before 10AM they're crazy. Unless they're my mother, who usually gives some level of forewarning. And she brings things like coffee or bananas. So it's worth it.
Was that more thunder? Seriously? Although I guess I shouldn't be complaining as my apartment building is still intact unlike some houses and things that were destroyed earlier this week. YIKES! Must be natural disaster season.
"Paralyzer" - finger eleven
See, at first I thought he was just a spy. But dancing spy ninja-looking person, so much cooler.
"Beautiful Girls" Sean Kingston
awesome video.
Alright, tomorrow is a short day then dinner with some family so I'm gonna read and konk out. Have a good night.

Totally hilarious but highly inappropriate.
Went to see Bridesmaids and oh my god, so funny but sooo inappropriate. I was laughing so hard. Kristen Wiig is fantastic, as is Maya Rudolph but the best one was Melissa McCarthy. She was hysterical in every scene.
What's really funny though is that half those scenes/lines aren't in the actual movie but it's still hilarious. Cause usually, you know, the preview shows the funniest parts then the rest is like eh. The whole movie was hysterical. Totally hilarious but highly inappropriate.
My afternoon off was amazing. I should have been reading but instead I spent it watching DVDs I have checked out that are due soon.
More camp development today as well. The website is now officially been updated. If you weren't crazy going into this whole directing thing then you leave with some degree of insanity. But it's a good kind of crazy. If that doesn't sound crazy in itself.
Just one for tonight but I'm totally jamming.
"You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" Righteous Brothers
awesome. i know the bff is probably searching for top gun clips on youtube now.
think i'm gonna grab an icecream bar and konk out.

Sketch and Edit Discuss a Serious Matter
"Do I smell burning crab?"
"It's cajun!"
More Frasier, I feel like I should finish the series. I had to keep watching until Niles and Daphne got together but now that they're together then it was until he proposed. And now he proposed so does this mean I have to watch 'til the wedding? Then the kids? Man.
Work flew by, as it usually does, and Team Awesome was reunited for two hours, huzzah! Then came home and sat out on the balcony with my big fat cat. It's good I live on the third floor since that keeps him from jumping and running away. I'm grateful he's a big chicken. I read half of Book #5. It's alright so far, but I don't know a lot about ships so I'm a little confused. I'll figure it out, it's pretty intriguing.
aaannd look, it's Bellamy Young. Who also shares my birthday. She's guest starred in pretty much all of my favorite shows. Frasier, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, Castle, plus the awesomeness that was Ellen Darling in Dirty Sexy Money. Too bad about those high heels. I'm telling you, you really have to plan out your entire outfit when you kill someone in a jealous rage. Although, that would mean you'd have to predict when you were going to have a jealous rage so that you could dress properly. There was actually an entire Sketch and Edit dedicated to that moment. Here, I'll find it.
Sketch and Edit Discuss a serious matter
Edit - *screams as Ellen Darling slips and hits her head on sink after unsuccessfully trying to kill her husband* "Oh my god! Did that just happened?"
Sketch – "That’s what you get when you go to kill your husband in the wrong shoes."
E – "You really think changing out of those stilettos would have made it successful?"
S – "Couldn’t hurt."
E – "She was drunk and filled with rage. I don’t think she had a chance to think ‘Hmm, I should go put on my combat boots before I grab a fireplace poker to kill my husband while he’s in the shower.’ Clearly she was far too inebriated for rational thought."
S – "It was still a bad idea. She needed something with traction. Every psycho killer should know that."
E – "Something with a non-stick grip?"
S – "I like how her feet went all the way over her head like that."
E – "That’s a lot of glass. He shouldn’t be kneeling next to her barefoot."
S – "Maybe he wore shower shoes."
E – "In his own shower?"
S – "See, these shows are filled with faulty logic!"
E – "Kinda like how Denny came back from the dead?"
S – "Yeah, that’s just stupid. Dead Denny must die."
But the great thing about Bellamy is I play this game where, if I see her name in the title credits, I guess what hair color she's going to have. Cause you never know if she's going to be a blonde or brunette. It's amusing. We're alike in that aspect.
Songs for the night:
"A Punk" by Vampire Weekend
I remember first seeing these guys on SNL a few years ago, he was wearing this like giant scarf that was all I could look at. I didn't even see any of the background singers, just the giant scarf and strings sticking out of his guitar.
"Marry You" Glee cast version
Love Burt's dance moves. Totally make the song.
Tomorrow is a halfday then possible movie with some family and friends. Thinking food then Bridesmaids! Cause it looks hysterical. And I need a night out that's not class or camp or work related.
Here's Bellamy if you have no idea who I'm talking about.
yes i'm a nerd. but you knew that already.
OUT!

I tried my best to leave this all on your machine but the persistent beat it sounded thin upon listening.
I freaking love grad school. The classes are fun, the assignments I actually look forward to doing since they're not just like regurgitating facts in a paper. We're writing concrete poems in shapes and building wikis and going to summer reading events, it's a completely interactive thing. Book reports that are a max of 4 minutes long. That's fantastic.
So class today was fun, as always - I'll upload my quotes tomorrow - she divided us up by our star signs and I actually met someone with my same birthday so that was exciting - my classmate in gradeschool and myself were born on the same day in the same hospital both grew up on farms both brunette, etc but it was just so funny and random today - then after class I was recruited to help move a wicker couch to her car from her office. Totally exciting. Actually it was pretty easy.
Tonight I went to Bek's dance recital - she was a super cute ballerina - and I ran into one of my college professors. She was actually my first college professor because she taught the first class I went to so it was fun to see her again. But yeah, like whole family was there, we went for ice cream after. Bek was excellent, and the other groups were pretty good too. We left at intermission because Bek was done but right before then was this men's group called the "Men in Black" that was basically the dad's of a bunch of the dancers. I told my brother in law I was expecting to see him up there next year.
Now I'm watching Parks and Rec Season One - excellent so far. I'll give you a SOA later.
For now, here's my recs of the night:
"Such Great Heights" The Postal Service
love it.
"Clean Slate" Kyler England
love love love this song! was stoked to see there was a live version.
out!...loving leslie knope...
