Not much for today, just this.
Criminal Minds spoiler, don't read if you don't wanna know.
Paget leaving sucks.
I'm already way behind, if she's gone I don't have much motivation to keep watching it.
And who are they gonna replace her with, really? It's already such a male cast, even with Garcia and JJ. They'll need another strong female lead.
I get it though, CBS cuts her and AJ/JJ for budget stuff, but it was really to start a spinoff that everyone knew was gonna fail from the start, then they renew the contract for a year, forcing her to come back.
I'd get tired of the drama too, but she will be missed.
Maybe she'll go on to have another great sitcom.
Andy Richter Controls the Universe was highly amusing, it'd be great to see her go back to comedy.
Sorry. Ramblings.
Though I LOVE the radio edit, I'm kinda digging it live.
"I Hear The Bells" Mike Doughty
took me a year to figure out what song it was after hearing the refrain on Grey's.
nice voice crack and apology.
Big day tomorrow. Last day for 23, sad day.
Was a good year. I think. Yeah, definitely good. Yeah.
out

T-shirts, Justified, Karen Darling, and Human Candyland
Forgot a quote from yesterday -
Nic: "What do we want to focus on - our complete lack of skills or our ability to have a good time?"
Me: "Both."
we're making t-shirts for the golf tournament and were figuring out nicknames to put on the back of them. i love it. cause yeah, we suck. well, pastor is good. but the rest of us are lacking in....something. but we have a lot of fun. we came in last year and everyone was like "we could hear you across the course!" everyone wants to be on our team.
Today was good. Worked the split shift plus actually got to take a nap between. It was fantastic. Also started watching Justified. I'm liking it. I thought it was gonna be a show about dirty cops because I can't see Timothy Olyphant as anything but a bad guy - except when he was in Hitman which is ironic since he was a Hitman - so it was new seeing him as the protagonist cop transferred from Miami back to his home state of Kentucky. Also new, Natalie Zea's role as his ex-wife. I'm so used to seeing her as the awesomeness that was Karen Darling and to watch her as this like weak female I almost thought it was a different actress. It's like if Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester suddenly had no opinions of her own and just did what people told her to do. Just proves Natalie Zea is that talented. But I'm only two episodes in, so maybe that will change and she'll have some sort of Ugly-Duckling/Beautiful Swan transformation. Or in this case a Winona Hawkins/Karen Darling one.
I'm used to the yelling, strong, slapping people Natalie Zea.
"When I first proposed to you I didn't love you." "Oh, that's okay."
I'd give the show a 7/10 on the Scale of Awesome but I've just started it. Maybe that will change. Still I have to finish Andy Richter Controls the Universe and The Wizard of Oz since those are due soon. I might just order ARCTU off Amazon. Paget is hysterical.
No, I still haven't watched The Closer or Rizzoli and Isles and when I walked in this morning that was the first thing Sensei asked me. I was going to watch them today between shifts but wanted to nap instead. Today was madhouse because it was gameday so there were kids everyone. Super cool because my Glee-loving boss set up Human Candyland. Like with squares and everything. I was super jealous. They drew their card and would go to that color square on the floor - he used colored paper and taped them to the floor all over the library weaving in and out of the aisles. Totally awesome idea.
Songs for the night:
"One Love" Glee
zenned out.
"Angel" Sarah McLachlan
favorite song from high school. feel like i go back to it whenever i'm in one of those moods. like when brenda leigh wears her brown sweater on the closer. security blanket. I love 3:02-3:03 on this version.
I may go off the radar for a few days if tomorrow goes how I think it's going to go. Just a heads up. It's gonna be a full day tomorrow so I'm out. Watch some more ARCTU before I crash. My cat is giving me a massage. He's not gonna like that I have to get up to turn on the TV.
Night!

Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Andy: "The imaginary dead guy was right."
DVD review of Andy Richter Controls the Universe- it's fantastic. Scale of Awesome says 8/10 I'm seriously dying from laughter. ...Yeah, you've probably never heard of it. Go here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307716/
Jessica: "I have never been so alert. Coffee should be drinking me!"
Andy Richter plays Andy Richter who's a writer working for this huge company. He writes manuals and he goes to his office one morning and there's another dude in there, claiming it's his office. Turns out this dude is going to illustrate the manuals and at first Andy plots on how to get this guy fired so he can get his office back but then they become friends so that doesn't last long.
Wendy: "She's like the terminator except she's not from the future and she likes to dance!"
Paget Brewster plays Jessica Green, which of course, is the reason that I picked it up in the first place, well, ordered it through interlibrary loan. Pure awesomeness.
Jessica: "Oh yeah, I, I meant to erect a monument to that conversation but I couldn't find a grate of marble boring enough."
Anyway, it's fantastic. Paget is their boss, well, their supervisor Jessica. Also important are Keith, the good-looking best friend of Andy's played by James Patrick Stewart, and Andy's love interest Wendy, the new receptionist, aka actress Irene Molloy, who's in a relationship with Keith. So that's awkward. But only lasts like the first two episodes. The illustrator who he wants to get fired but then turns out to be okay is named Byron, and he's played by Jonathan Slavin who's pretty much a pro at the whole awkward dude role. Oh right, and the imaginary dead dude mentioned earlier is the founder of Andy's company. He's been dead for like years...and I have no idea who plays him so I'd have to look that one up.
Wendy: Where's your lipstick?
Jessica: In my purse.
Wendy: Where's your purse?
Jessica: I don't know. All around my lipstick.
But the great thing about Andy is that he's a writer, so half the show is like all these scenarios kind of like, I could have done this...but what I really did was this.
Wendy: "Puppies, yeah, I think they're great!"
Wait....Is that Kirk? Oh my god, he's everywhere!! Gilmore Girls Kirk makes an appearance as Andy's neighbor and old frat buddy from college. That's interesting.
Jessica Green: Do not ask her out.
Andy Richter: Why not?
Jessica Green: Because you're gonna go out a few times, then you'll break up. She'll feel hurt, you'll feel guilty and I'll feel dirty because no one will be cleaning my apartment.
That's my favorite episode so far because it has Lola Glaudini in it as the maid. Lola was in Criminal Minds before Paget came on, she played Elle Greenaway - actually Paget came in to replace her mid-second season after Elle went off the reservation and shot Jason London....who was also in Out Cold with AJ Cook aka the AJ of AJ/JJ in Criminal Minds... Sorry, I watch too many movies/tv shows.
SQUARE!: It's funny to see Paget and Lola in a comedy together instead of like two dramatic cops.
Okay, here's part two of the "Best of" cause it's funnier than part one.
"......i sent a memo....." "Yeah, Tim Stalin in accounting...that was the worst Stalin I could think of."
A lot more second season than first though. I got the complete series from ILL. gonna have to buy it off amazon.
love it.
Oh right, today, so I worked 9-6 all at the small branch. And the cool thing about working with Sensei is that she's a cool boss. Sometimes you know if you're one on one with a boss you're like under pressure to do everything right but I feel none even though technically I'm at the bottom of the totem pole there. Well, the top of the totem pole I guess since that phrase is actually inaccurate.
Okay, gonna watch more now. Cause I'm hooked. And I'm free. For tomorrow and Monday. Free like a bird. Be free! Be free birds! I don't know where I was going with that. Maybe to drive a bus or something. I'm still sad about Jack the Pigeon. Totally depressing. I killed a bird. Sort of. I mean, I didn't physically kill it. But it did ride with me from work to my apartment where it died in my parking lot. So, it's partially my fault. Cause he's dead. And that's sad.
Wendy: "Jessica...harrassment has the word 'ass' right in the middle of it...it's like the guys who made it up were trying to give you a big clue..."
Okay, life is good. Have Sunday and Monday off. Sunday is vacation time cause I don't get that ever and Monday is all about camp. Huzzah! I'm out.
Oh right, music. Um. Right.
Bills, Bills, Bills - Glee Cast Version

now i'm out.
SQUARE!!
