Farewell Horizon...

You will be missed. Well, by half of us. Although, I'm guessing the other half will miss it at some point during the week when we switch over to the new system. It's an open source program so it's supposed to be easier. Which I'm sure it will be. But I'm not looking forward to the next few days when we can't check anything in, or give out new cards, or place holds on material, and they need their physical card - not just know their number or have us look them up in the system. This is going to be interesting.

Actually, of all timing, I'm also doing a computer switch of my own. Pretty sure this one, aka Kate, is about ready to crash so I uploaded all my stuff to an external drive and transferred it over to my other one, aka Ziva.

I spent the day with Fearless Leader (That's what I'm calling her since she always takes the lead at work. She's pretty much awesome.) making our "you'll need your library card" poster. That we were supposed to do earlier but couldn't because we haven't worked together since we were assigned it. It was funny because - this was pre-coffee - when we were deciding what to do and I was like, we should just get like light bulbs and red arrows pointing to the giant card (we have a giant card on the shelf behind public service desks) and write something like "you'll need your library card on these dates". And she looked at me funny, and I was tired so it sounded stupid once it came out. It was one of those, this sounded better in my head things. So I was waiting for her to suggest something, instead I got "i like the way you think." So we spent the day cutting out lightbulbs and red arrows and posting them around the building.

"Barbra Streisand" Glee

I know I just posted this but I'm having fun playing a game called "Find Quinn". I see her once, when she comes in with Finn and that's it. I think she's wearing blue. Unless that's someone else coming in with Finn. Maybe if I watch it in full screen mode. Let me know if you see her.

"All the Small Things" Blink 182, Charlie's Angels version

Blooper real woohoo! love this movie.

I'm out!

oh the joy...

My last day off in a very long time....I spent it sleeping in, having play practice with the kids, then watching Country Strong with Grandma (25-yr-old-coworker).

Sleeping in in an apartment with no curtains to block out the sun is harder than it sounds. I mean, I have blinds, but that doesn't do much. So, yeah, gonna have to go curtain shopping sometime soon cause it's driving me bananas. Then got to drive out to play practice with Carter and came up with yet another list of musical artists he does not enjoy similar to those listed here My Life in Closed Captions: And you're the only one...who...MEOW! and here My Life in Closed Captions: Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
This time it was the Christmas song by the Chipmunks - he might have been right about that one, how long is too long for xmas music to stay on your ipod?
Also "I hear you knocking" by Wynonna which I totally jam out to, I don't know what his problem is.
He did, however, enjoy the "Elephant Love Medley" from Moulin Rouge. Maybe he agrees everyone should have someone to scream at inside an elephant.

Play practice flew by pretty quickly. We finally went through all the songs. Some of them are just plain weird so I think we're going to be doing a lot of cut and pasting. Also, since I'm going to be working a lot this week the next time I can go out to practice with them isn't until the 9th and the play is the 12th! But I'm sure Nic can handle this. She's playing the music anyway so she can decide what to keep and what to pitch. Plus they know most their lines, it's just what order they go in and who they come after that they're having troubles with.

Country Strong gets a 7/10 on my Scale of Awesome, purely for the acting. Gwyneth and the rest pf the cast were amazing. The storyline, however, was completely depressing and I'd be okay with not watching it again. The soundtrack is pretty good though, I got a few of the songs off itunes, but yeah. Totally depressing, it got to the point where Grandma (25-yr-old-coworker) and myself were yelling at the tv.

Glee, gotta love it. "Barbra Streisand" from this week's episode.

I don't think I've laughed this hard in a very long time.
I especially like Puck at 1:29 and 2:36. It's just a fantastic song, and I'm glad it's got the tmobile commercial feel again. Same setting as when they did the Safety Dance as well.

Anyway, tomorrow is inservice so I'm going to bed the minute I post this since it's an early morning and a long day. Hope you have a good one.
