As legendary gangsta rap icon Katharine Hepburn once said...

2013 Grammy Award Highlights:

Drinking Game - take a shot every time LL Cool J says "hashtag"
Which of course I didn't, cause according to Deb you'd be "drunk in 20 seconds." I enjoy commentating on Facebook, you get the best comments. Ladies Love Cool James was a pretty great host, I enjoyed his final performance, Travis Barker on drums!!! I was expecting more humor out of him, but the serious approach worked well.

Taylor Swift = T-Swizzle
Taylor was having a ball tonight. Only nominated for like 1 or 2 awards total the only time the camera was on her for longer than 2 seconds she was dancing in the audience. To like every song. I can think of 3 separate occasions where the camera panned to her dancing. It was highly entertaining.

"and Justin Timberlake returns to music on the Grammy stage" did I miss the part where he left the stage?
Did he take a break and I didn't notice? I guess that's what happens when you get married and focus on your acting career.

"As legendary gangsta rap icon Katharine Hepburn once said..." - Neil Patrick Harris
I really have no comment to this, just that I love Neil Patrick Harris.

"If this is in HD everyone can see our faces and we are not very young." - Fun.
Lena Dunham in the house! She's dating their guitarist so I cheered every time she was on screen. Fun. dominated tonight. That's all I can say. They're fantastic. Though not usually a good idea to announce you have to pee in a thank you speech.

"I got stuck to Miranda Lambert, there's a story in a song...for later, after alcohol...I'm just kidding children."



Best moment of the entire night. Kelly Clarkson wins, hugs half the audience on her way to the stage, gets stuck to Miranda Lambert, totally flustered when giving her speech claiming she didn't think she'd win it. She was great later in the show too with her tributes to the honorary winners. Flashbacks to her early career on American Idol, the only season I watched was the first when she won.

"And if you don't win, don't worry. I was never even nominated in this category and I have my own eyelash line...take that Bon Iver!"
I love Katy Perry, and her shoutout. Why wasn't she nominated for Best New Artist? She dominated the charts? That's weird. It's funny though because when one half of a couple is onstage the other half automatically gets panned to - John Mayer to Katy Perry, Miranda to Blake, Keith to Nicole, Beyonce to Jay-Z, etc.

"Max, even snakes have been on a plane."
Kat Freakin' Dennings!! Literally screamed. Stoked for 2 Broke Girls tomorrow, especially since it's a Grammys episode. Curious about how that will work.

"Most artists who win album of the year tend to go on to have even more phenomenal global success, embark on humongous tours OR get knocked up like last year's winner."
I flippin' love Adele, she's hysterical. Especially at awards shows. It wasn't a big surprise that she won tonight, especially after winning like 6 last year. Mass hysteria. Anyway, she's allowed to say this, because she was last year's winner.

Ended the night with 7/11 correct, which isn't awful but it's not great either. Music Awards aren't my forte because I don't listen to the radio - I always have my ipod and plug that into the car and everything. I mean it's not like I know nothing, I still buy their songs to play on the ipod.

So, as for performances the Black Keys stole the stage, and the tribute to Bob Marley was super cool with Bruno Mars, Sting and Rihanna. Though I was confused as to why Bruno sang his own song first since it was supposed to be a tribute. Granted he did admit that he used the melody of Marley's song "No Woman, No Cry" as inspiration.

Here's the tribute:



Here's the Black Keys:


I love these guys, they're great and they don't get enough attention. Here's my favorite of theirs which I blame entirely on Oldest Sister:

Tighten Up - The Black Keys

this video makes me laugh.

So that's one half of the music rec's the other I found on iTunes, and since I don't listen to the radio this could already be a big hit and I have no idea. If it's not yet, it will be soon so you should listen, it's great.

Troublemaker - Olly Murs feat. Flo Rida

doesn't hurt that he sounds just like Adam Levine. but it's very catchy, reminds me a bit of Misery by Maroon 5.

Seriously, compare and contrast:

Misery - Maroon 5

aside from their voices, the melodies are also very similar.

i love this song, in my top 5 of theirs which is saying something because i've become crazy obsessive about them and their music since Second Sister got us all hooked. Plus he's on the Voice so that's only intensified it all.

Alright, I'm out. Sleeping in tomorrow cause I don't go in until 4. After that it's date night with the boyfriend.

Sunday, January 13, 2013

"but when it comes to torture I trust the lady who spent 3 years married to James Cameron."

Ah, the weekend.

Can't believe it's already over.

Not that I don't like my job, I love my job. I'm just not looking forward to going back as much now that I'm Slim-less.

It will also probably take a while for her position to be filled so we'll be short-staffed.

But that's fine, gives me stuff to do.

Though I'll have plenty to do tomorrow. Still freaking out and feel like I should go back and start over on my scavenger hunt.

That takes place Tuesday.

I mean, it's fine, but there's like these things hidden in books that they have to locate meanwhile answering bonus questions and I'm debating if I want to like...

... yeah, I think I'm going to glue the questions to the clues in the book and then just give them like a blank sheet to write the answers on. That'll be good instead of having a seperate sheet.

Yeah.

I know, it's dumb and I'm over analyzing

What else?

The boyfriend and I took the kiddos to the hockey game last night. Bubby, Squirt and Squirt's boyfriend. It was amusing, but we lost. We always lose when I go. Either I'm bad luck or we really suck.

Or maybe both.

Anyway, it was amusing though cause there were like 5 fights.

When I say fights I don't mean slam a guy against the wall and steal the puck, I mean sticks on the ground, gloves off, fists flying and all that.

But they look like such dorks because they have so much padding on and they're on skates so they're off balance and their fighting just looks hysterical.

One of the fights was between goalies - this was fight number 4 I think, it happened at the same time as fight number 3 and about 2 minutes after fight number 2. But it was like the goalies looked at each other and went, yeah, why not and met up in the center of the rink.

10 minutes for fighting.

Perhaps if our boys were more focused on scoring and less on hitting people for no reason they would have won.

But that's just a theory.

Anyway, we got hosed but the game was fun. The kids seemed to have fun. And it was a fun date night. Today was super lazy. Slept in, watched the rest of season one of Game of Thrones - don't even get me started about my feelings about sean bean's character - went out for some lunch, then he went and bought more motorcar stuff before heading home to sleep more cause he has to work tonight.

I hate our schedules. It's only weekends that he doesn't have to work and I end up working half of mine so spending time together when there's actually time to spend is difficult.

But after he left I had all these plans to like clean and all that. See, I vacuumed yesterday so the floor is all clean and the trash is gone but the rest of the place is still covered in dust. But it's the weekend and as my sister would say, "I'm on my vacation!" so I instead chose to watch Homeland - awesome, btw - and took a nap before turning on the Golden Globes. Which is where the title of this post came from. Pretty sure I filled up everyone's newsfeeds. But they'll get over it. Gotta keep track of my score and all that. Sketch and I like to commentate but she was gone so one-sided it's not as funny.

Here are some of my highlights:

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosting - The queens of comedy so you knew their intro would be good. That's where the title came from. Though I was surprised that they weren't on stage very often. I mean, I know the majority of the talking is done by the presenters and then of course from the winners with their long speeches but I think they were up there like 3 times total, 1 was the intro and the other 2 were with drink in hand. Maybe it was 4 I don't know. Though I did like their outfits. In a couple of the awards they were in the crowd dressed in costume and were announced as one of the nominees. Amy with bad teeth and Tina with a mustache. And they were both up for an award but got beat out by Lena!! You knew Girls would win big tonight. Which leads me to my next highlight.

Lena Dunham's Girls - Even Girlscout was excited about this one. She won for best actress in comedy/musical TV series and also for best comedy/musical tv show. Only got brief glimpses of her tattoos but when you get a chance you should take a look. They're all characters from children's books, Ferdinand, Eloise, etc. - yay read!

Is that Bill Clinton? - I think he got more applause than anyone else, but what the hell was he doing there? I like sat up and everything. Apparently he was invited to introduce Lincoln as it is a presidential movie. But the only other person that got a standing ovation from everyone was Jodie Foster for her Cecil B Demille Award. She was great as well though her speech felt like half an hour. And it was hard to follow that intro by Robert Downey Jr. Anyway, I posted on Facebook something about what the heck was he doing at the Golden Globes and my college professor posts back, "Why not? Clinton is one of the greatest actors of all time."

"Thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today." - J-Law is awesome as ever. Even with the flu she kills it on stage.



Probably my favorite speech of the night.

Followed closely by this one:

I want to high-five James Bond! - Adele beats Taylor Swift and Keith Urban for best original song.



love her, she's fantastic.

Homeland still dominates - See, I've just today gotten hooked on the show so I felt like I could legitimately vote on it. I would have watched it earlier but the holds list for it at the library was madness. Anyway, it's awesome and it deserves all the awards that are thrown its way. Both Damien and Claire won - "who took my pants out every damn week", I was hoping for Mandy to win as well - it's amazing how similar Saul and Gideon's characters are - but he lost to

Les Miserables takes the cake - Loved Anne's speech dedication to Sally Field about breaking stereotypes. "and our crew who deserve a special award for pretending they like live singing at 7AM". She's just cool, you know? I loved her growing up in the Princess Diaries, she was hysterical in Get Smart, badass in Batman and now incredibly talented in Les Miserables. Which I have yet to see, same as Little Brother so we bonded over that. Everyone was claiming that Lincoln was gonna dominate but actually I think Daniel was the only one who won for it. But I got to proclaim my love for Hugh Jackman to which my favorite Aussie responded "of course you do, he's an Aussie!" This is true, but not as cool as my favorite Aussie. It's amazing how many of my Drew-mates jumped on to my commentary. Little Brother, Favorite Aussie, UZ, etc. Feel so behind on that stuff, she got married, had a kid and I barely know anything about it.

Argo F Yourselves - Glad Argo won best picture. It was afterall the only one that I had seen in the bunch which is why I voted for it, but also because it was a really good movie. Ben deserved the win, both of them in fact. Though it was amusing that he had his wife on stage later thanking the people he forgot.

With that vote I ended up with 17 out of 25 which isn't bad. That's a passing grade. I think. Barely. Maybe not, my math is a little rusty.

Speaking of math, it feels so weird for the semester to have started and I don't have homework due until like next week. My only classes don't start until like the 22nd and then my Special Libraries class homework isn't due until the night before our field trip. Granted I'll do it before that, but still. It's nice. Though with 2 of them online and no one around to remind me about homework I'm really gonna have to work on my time management.

Gonna enjoy my freedom as long as I can so with that I will post this, shower, and sleep and then head back to work all week, plus the weekend as my next day off isn't until Monday.

More of 2012's greatest hits

Sunday, January 6, 2013

but there's a side to you that i never knew, never knew...

Okay so, with the help of Info-Man and BossLady we've come up with an idea that could be completely EPIC for teens at the library.

See, he has this library friend who convinced her library people to hold like a golf @ your library thing where they set up holes around the stacks.

Which reminded me of this video that I had watched a while ago...



Wait, not that one.



Yes, that one.

Love the sand traps and water hazards.

Anyway, so I was thinking it would be fun for my TAB kids to do this around our library as an event for them, but then thought maybe we could make it a system-wide TAB thing where all of the different branches TAB kids could take part but then thought that would really limit our audience as well, so what about making it a Teen Summer Reading Program Event in which outsiders can partake?

The theme is "Dig Into Reading" and we're thinking more of golf than croquet, but either way I'm sure we could think up some sort of slogan to fit.

But the hosting teens could each design their own hole to match with what area of the library it's located in.

I'm thinking we could start up on 4th floor and have a couple holes, then they hit it in the elevator - don't worry they'd be those plastic golf balls, not the real ones that break glass - ride with it down to 2nd floor - skipping admin on 3rd cause pretty sure they wouldn't be fans - go through the biographies, the music library, around the reference collection and computer lab, then through the non-fiction and young adult areas, even some by the language and car repair manuals, taking them to the north staircase where they would hit it down the stairs and then going through the adult fiction and ending in the youth services department. 

All the while hitting their plastic golf ball into themed holes along the way.

Thoughts?

I had to ask my aides cause they always tell me if things are lame or not.

They're like my handy dandy lame-o-meter.

But they said it sounded cool.

I think it could be EPIC. Which is why I want to open it up to more than just my teens cause for that sort of thing it would be better to have a crowd.

But I need permission from so many levels first before I could even bring it up to my teens as a possibility.

And I have a meeting on Tuesday so I'm hoping it will spark and catch fire tomorrow and give me either a yes or no by 4:15 on Tuesday.

But we'll see, I'll keep you posted.

The problem with posting random clips from YouTube is that while you're on you're reminded of other clips you could watch.

Like these next ones...

I've had this scene stuck in my head all day cause I heard the song this morning before work and when you've seen the movie as many times as I have you can see the entire scene in your head when you listen to the song and when it's a Sunday at work and it's dead there's not much else going on in there.



Though I can't necessarily blame that completely on the date though, can I?

Anyway but then you search for that one and end up watching a bunch of the others...



OR! the little gucci dress...

I want a bus like that.

Though I don't know if I would trust MeatLoaf to drive it.



...and now I really need to log off YouTube or I'll never go to bed.

This movie is the reason I can't watch The Good Wife.

I just keep seeing him as Piers Cuthbertson-Smyth.

Okay, finding what I actually came here for.

More of 2012's Greatest Hits

Pretty sure there's going to be more than a week of these.

and speaking of epic...

Set Fire To The Rain - Adele

2012 was the year of adele.

hoping 2013's even bigger.

Domino - Jessie J

was originally resistant to this one as i didn't see the appeal but then heard adriana louise perform it during the blind auditions and that changed.

go here and you'll see. xtina won the four chair turn-around on that one.

What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction

ah, taylor swift. a girl for boys ages 18-35.

nah, these guys are actually pretty good.

It made for an interesting Sunday. One of the joys of having an ipad is that you can take it to work with you so you can add and drop classes with it on your breaks.

So, I emailed the Library Goddess last night cause I was freaking out about the classes I was going to take this semester. Special Libraries is gonna be awesome, there's no way I'm switching that one. I'm pumped and it's more of a go places than a read about places kind of thing.

Internet Reference I think is going to be very relevant and helpful and manageable, however when I heard that we needed to read 2 novel length books every week of the semester (aka January-May) for Reader's Advisory and combining that with the 2 other classes and their homework, plus work work, plus upcoming camp work, plus Summer Reading stuff, there was going to be no way that my brain would still be in one place by the end of the semester.

So I switched over to Diversity in Libraries which is taught by the same two professors that taught my Adult Services class last semester which I'm actually really nerdily - yes, nerdily - excited for because I learned A LOT about adult programming in that class by writing up program plans and researching all that. I took a lot away from that class and at the work branch our patron-base is completely diverse.

Not that the other branches don't have diverse patrons, but because of our location we have a bit more...

Anyway, I just think that that specific topic can really be helpful for my daily life at the work branch and may also teach me things that I can do with my TAB kids to kind of get them more involved with library outreach...

Did any of that make sense?

Are you catching what I'm throwing?

Do you hear me clucking, big chicken?

First time I said that to someone who wasn't my Oldest Sister he thought it was a drug reference.

My Delayed...Reaction partner.

No, it's not a drug reference, I'm calling you the big chicken.

I'm not clucking the big chicken.

Whatever the hell that means.

Let's not even go there.

Alright, it is far passed my bed time so I should sleep. That way I can enjoy sleeping in tomorrow as I don't have to be awake and coherent until I go in at 4PM.

who says you have to win to be awesome?



totally should have made it to the final three at least.


"don't forget the databases..."

Sunday, April 22, 2012

"For a few to be immortal many must die."

Have you ever had one of those feelings where you're running cause you’re late,
Well you're not really running it's more like jogging,

 But it feels like running,

And the air that fills your lungs is so cold that it makes you feel like you're going to throw up, pass out and/or have some sort of asthma attack?

But of course you can't throw up, pass out, and/or have some sort of asthma attack because you're in class.

And you have to present your final project.

So that would make things really awkward.

Especially for the pregnant teacher in the back row.

So you make it all the way through class,

Present your project in under the maximum time limit,

Jam with your friends for one last time before the summer,

Then make it back home to watch a couple movies you have checked out and THEN end up throwing up for an entirely unrelated reason?

Anyone?

Just me?

Thought so.

It’s just been one of those days, I feel like crap but I took a shower so I’m good.

I mean, I should be celebrating! I’m done! Until June! Woohoo! Huzzah! Much excitement, yeah!

And I ran into the Library Goddess and her current grad assistant in the process.

PS – the current grad assistant, completely professional and capable of great things, her next one? aka me? Not so promising. But I’ll do my best.

Anyway, Woohoo! Huzzah! Done until June! So, in way of celebrating, and also to thin the pile currently sitting on top of the cabinet, I watched “In Time” and “My Future Boyfriend”.

Polar opposites, not only in storyline, genre, and special effects, but also in likeability on the Scale of Awesome.

“In Time” starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, is about a world in which time is the only currency. Once you turn 25 your clock starts running. You have to work to earn more time or you’re dead.

Oh yeah, and it has BBT's Leonard in it as the best friend and Number Four's John Smith as the gangster bad guy around the block.

It’s not like I had the greatest hopes going into it, and dude, about halfway through I about turned the thing off and gave up.

But then Amanda Seyfried shot a cop so I figured I’d have to give it a chance. Cause I like her. Mean Girls all the way!

“Boo, you whore”

Anyway, the second it was over all I could think of was, “Well, that was dumb.” And was forced to put in a comedy to get the whole dystopian theme out of my head.

So I ended up with “My Future Boyfriend” Barry Watson and Sara Rue. Two of my favorite under-rated actors. And the movie was fantastic, as opposed to the tragic blah listed above.


Basically, Barry Watson’s character is an archeologist from the future, he finds a book written by Sara Rue and goes back in time to ask her about some of the concepts included in it, aka love, passion, etc. Did I forget to mention that there are no real emotions in the future?

But it’s a comedy so he comes back, everyone thinks he’s crazy, she works for a paper very similar to the National Enquirer so she interviews him for an article believing this whole time he’s full of crap – as is everybody else – and in the mean time is engaged to this other dude.

But like any romantic comedy, they fall in love and it’s total chaos.

Scale of Awesome says 9/10, made me laugh, made me cry, makes me want to buy it and watch it again which is more than I can say for the whatever you want to call it listed above.

That one I give a 3/10 and that’s purely for the fact that Amanda Seyfried is in it. I gave it a chance, but dude, unless you want to watch Justin Timberlake attempt to be some badass from the dystopian ghetto then skip it man, skip it.

I really did give it a chance, I did, sort of, but then Matt Bomer started acting all serious while JT was acting all fake badass and I couldn’t do it.

The title quote of this post is really all I'm taking away from it.

Quotes of the day:

Me: "But I do drink green tea and have a fat cat so that counts for something." carpool buddy and me talking about librarian stereotypes and how I really don't fit.

CB: "What kind of idiot smokes a pipe while someone's trying to play a wind instrument?!" fun times at flute practice

Alright, tomorrow is a full-day to make up for my weekend “off” so I’m out.

Will probably throw My Future Boyfriend back in and konk out.

"Love Song" Adele

favorite new version

Well if you gots the poison I've gots the remedy

Dear Blogspot,

Today I was totally productive.

Even more so than usual.

As I’m a big girl now, that apparently comes with responsibilities. Some of these have not yet been announced or I would be freaking out about them on here…although if you saw who I was shadowing and meeting with today then you probably already know. And it’s not like big big stuff. Okay, well some of it is. But it’ll be enough to keep me busy and freaked out for the next few years. Might take a while to adjust, but maybe it’s about time for a changeup.

Even though I’m still in changeup mode, switching from 20 to 40. Well, 35 to 40. With 38 at the work library and only 2 at the home library. I’m hoping the 2 hours there will continue on, but now that they have their new staff who knows what will happen.

Okay, aside from meetings and shadowing and then meeting with supervisors to talk about other stuff I also signed up for a parking spot, woohoo!

Then came home, made supper, did a bunch of computer stuff and watched some more Leverage. Still waiting on season two so I’m stalling until it gets there. Starting season three without watching it is feasible, but I’d rather watch it in order.

And that was today.

Tomorrow should be fun.

Staff meeting in the morning where hopefully all the changes will be announced and explained.

With the stuff that’s being handed out I’m shocked the supervisors weren’t losing their minds with all that they had to handle. Granted they got paid the big…well, bigger bucks, to do it. But still, that’s a lot of stuff.

Then I get yet another meeting with supervisors from different branches about a thing that I’m being put in charge of.

Again, I’ll explain more tomorrow. And prepare to get nervous and freaked out ramblings, I excel at those.

Okay, what else? Oh yeah.

Squirt now has a blog. And it’s gonna smash both mine and her mother’s down like the hand of god. She’s funny stuff. You should check out her “The End of Barbie and Ken” story, it’s highly amusing.

Alright, there were a lot of R-Recs to go through, so after a thorough weeding process (aka which ones don’t suck and which ones haven’t I posted within the last few months) I’ve come up with these ones.

Enjoy.


Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology – Jack Johnson

The title made me laugh so I bought it. It’s actually pretty good, but most of his music is. I post a lot of it, probably one of my most posted artists, although Michelle Branch is climbing that ladder pretty quickly.

Remedy (I Won’t Worry) - Jason Mraz

him live makes me laugh.
It’s one of those songs that you know but you forgot you knew it. You know? I found a few of those when I put mine on shuffle. More Michelle Branch stuff included. I’ll find more of those after this whole alphabet thing is over. Plus the 12 Days of Xmas. There’s so many freakin’ Christmas Songs out there, I’ll have to post at least 12 of those. I’m just stoked for Day 12.

Or is it Day 1? Do you count down or up?

Rockafeller Skank – Fatboy Slim

This one is an excellent dance song. It’s actually on Dance Dance Revolution, the 3rd one I think. I don’t remember, I own a lot of them. I’ll have to remember to take them to the farm for the 1st. P Squared and me usually rally and do some of those, along with some SSX Tricky and lots of sparkling cider.

And apparently it’s well known as well. I posted a lyric from it as a blog title and it got more hits than most of my others.

Run Joey Run - David Geddes

cheesefest.
I hated when Glee covered this song. No idea why. I mean, they did a great rendition, I think it was just the video that went along with it. Rachel and her dramatics. But it was cool to have all three guys picking up on different verses.
Alright, that’s all for tonight. Big day tomorrow.


PS - Check out Priscilla Ahn’s CD “A Good Day” it’s delightful, a lot of upbeat music, not as many fillers as I’d thought there would be.

And Adele’s “21” I’m loving “I’ll Be Waiting”. Excellent jam out session.

and yes I'm going to post it. I'm allowed to, it's my blog.

"I'll Be Waiting" Adele

she's fantastic, live and radio.
words cannot express how awesome this song is.


Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run!!!

Black! Gold! Black! Gold!

Okay, so the thing about filling out forms is that if you want your child's name to be spelled right on their return letter/nametag, you should probably work on your handwriting so that it's legible on an official form. Cause really. Some of these are questionable. And I know the names of most of the kids so usually I'm able to figure it out, but this year there's some new kids - which is great - but I have no idea what some of their names are. Cause the handwriting is worse than mine.
I have a major need for counselors. As of now I have 3. Total. And the deadline isn't until the 1st of July so there's time but still... I actually get applications up until the day of camp itself so it'll be fine. I still would rather have more now.

So I'm all for Vanderbilt. They're currently beating North Carolina 5-1. My final prediction was Vandy 6-5. And this is the bottom of the 8th so there's still time. But Cal, with their true cinderella story, is quickly becoming my number two. Kept alive by donations and then making it to the CWS, that's impressive. I dunno what'll happen if they make the final two.
This game is pretty much a rematch of what we saw when we were there. Only this time the loser goes home instead of just to the loser's bracket. And it's funny because I can recognize the cheers that are going on back and forth between the fans. There's a lot of "Tar! Heels! Tar! Heels!" and "Black! Gold! Black! Gold!" (which is super amusing to text back and forth with the cool aunt btw) but there's also the general admission section specialty of "Tar Heels Suck!" which was rather amusing, even though it's insulting. When we were there it was a dude standing on his chair counting to three and then they'd all yell it. Usually right when a NC player went up to bat, or right after a big "Tar! Heels! Tar! Heels!" cheer.


Quote of the day:
Straight from Superwoman: "(insert my name) takes precedence since she has more points than you."
I had to talk to her about food drive stuff but she was already talking to a coworker that's way up in the chain of command compared to me. I felt special. For like a second, then she said she wouldn't say that again.



Song of the night:

Adele "Rolling in the Deep"

awesome voice in an awesome video.


Out early, gonna be a super long today tomorrow. Food Drive stuff in the morning then work all afternoon. I hate early mornings. gonna have to stop for coffee.
I tried to get in touch with city people all day to request a van - we're going to be driving to almost all the branches to drop off barrels for food donations - but everyone I called was either on vacation or not answering. So I called my sister and brother in law. They pretty much rock. And I'm gonna borrow their truck. Huzzah!

More on that tomorrow.

OUT!

ps - watching the Closer season six dvd, fantastic. love every scene with them in the new building and all the frustration that goes along with it.
