Holy Frijoles!

Okay, so this is what happens when I watch Sports Nation.

I find clips like these:



Yay, Rob Dyrdek!

Which then leads to clips like this...

Kickalicious


dude. watch it all the way through. the very last clip is my favorite. and got him a job in the NFL.

Which then leads to clips like this...



That's Husker football right there.

I still think that call was crap.

and then that leads me to looking up the fall schedule and if you know anything about me and Husker football its endless so I need to turn off Sports Nation right now.


I was zonked today.

I went to bed far too late so tonight I'm aiming for earlier, though you know as well as I do that won't happen.

Work was super busy, think I had like 40 some stats, though that's probably because I was on the front desk four hours in a row.

Was totally bummed cause they closed the Chinese joint next door.

I'm wounded man, I loved that place.

Granted it was usually just me there which explains their sudden closing, but still, that was killer food.

Dude.

Not cool.


The new lab is up and running.

It's all fancy.

24 filtered computers plus 1 young adult and 2 unfiltered.

Means a lot less waiting than there was when we had 17 total.

It's massive and all open and stuff.

It freaks people out when they walk up the stairs.

No more claustrophobic walls.

Actual air circulation.

Yay!


So tonight was big, of sorts, The Voice finale.

Called it.

Go Danielle!

Glad Michelle came in second.

Just not how I pictured the photo finish after the blind auditions?

From the start Judith was the clear leader and then she had to sing Bieber and there went that.

But Danielle deserved it.

She was a powerhouse. For 16 she was incredible.


The cool thing about the finale is that the whole top 16 comes back to perform.

The finalists get to choose who they sing with.

Michelle brought back Team Usher so that was cool - they sang We Can Work It Out - the Stevie Wonder version which I love and was my favorite song of the night.

We Can Work It Out - Team Usher - Vedo, Michelle, Cathia and Josiah


Danielle brought back Sarah, Caroline and Amber for a Carrie Underwood song, The Swon Brothers brought back Holly, Justin and Amber for something country but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

The ones that didn't sing with the finalists sang in groups, though some doubled like Josiah, Vedo and Cathia.

These are my two favorites from the night:

Ain't Too Proud To Beg - Josiah, Vedo, Kris and Garrett


plus Holly on the sax, that was awesome. totally retro.

My Lovin' You're Never Gonna Get It - Cathia, Sasha, Karina and Judith


powerhouses. for serious.


Notice how I'm not posting Xtina and Pitbull?

As much as I love her, good god that was horrible live.

And Cher.

What the crap was on her head?



Was that alive?

Pretty sure I saw it move.

Okay, so now you can all cheer.

No more Voice ramblings until next season.

Anyway, after the Voice was homework, camp stuff, now I'm watching baseball...my LSU boys lost today.

Which means, yes, you guessed it, I owe the Cool Aunt a round of jalapeno margaritas cause her North Carolina lasted longer than my LSU.

Now I'm cheering for my backup - Indiana.

Go Hoosiers!

And that was my day.

Out - whoa, legitimate pre-midnight post, haven't had one of those in a while.

Holy crap tag in use.

"They have great marinara."

Having a Major Crimes marathon.



My favorite scene in the series so far.

I love Rusty, but Flynn is my favorite in that specific moment.

I still have last season's on my DVR so I'm going through them before watching the season premiere from Monday.

Ah today.

Volunteer training, intern training, computer lab installation - tables are up, chairs are here, all that's left is the actual computers to be installed.

Which I think are somewhere in the building.

It's exciting.

Except for the awkward carpet.

It's awkward cause it's nice.

As is the new lab - no more claustrophobic walls, more air flow and plus it's more ADA capable, etc.

After work came home, did some homework, turned on Major Crimes and now I'm off to bed.

"it looks like an insurance office."
"we agree."

Another long day tomorrow and then Friday I'm off!

With an assignment due at midnight.

So ready to be done and graduated...countdown to December.

Though at the moment I am halfway done with one of my summer classes cause it only goes through the end of June. Thinking of it that way helps me get through the homework.

The other class I have until July 31st to turn in all the homework.

Thinking I'll dedicate a long weekend or two to it and be done with it.

After I'm done with the homework for this one.

Alright, back to Major Crimes and I'm out.

I know, I'm boring.

Here, read more useless information:

-Spam stands for Shoulder Pork and Ham

-The United States Postal Service assures its customers that they will not get fat licking stamps. There is no more than one-tenth of a calories worth of glue on every stamp.

-It's illegal in Alabama to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.

-The oldest word in the English language is "town"

-The names of the continents all end with the same letter with which they start, excluding North and South in front of America.

All I got.



love the Judds.

"I'm being beaten up by a guy called Rupert?"

Question of the day: How many people drown when lifeguards run to them in slow motion?

Joking.

Been watching too much Wipeout.

Okay, sad fact.

It's 11:30 and I'm totally dead tired.

I'm not gonna make it 'til midnight.

Not that I'm aiming to, I'm just usually up til 1 or 2.

Cause I get distracted and then remember I have all this stuff to do - like post - and it's like midnight when I get to it.

Which explains why this morning was awful.

Fell asleep last night around 3.

I don't even know why, I just couldn't get comfortable.

My back is still messed up.

The boyfriend gave me a massage and it's still out of whack.

Should probably do something about it but don't have the time.

Cause tomorrow is the kickoff party!!

I'm gonna die.

Holy crap, I'm nervous.

Like last year, I helped, but I wasn't in charge.

This year I came up with the list of activities for the kids to choose from, I cleared everything with the bosses, shopped for all the supplies, collaborated with outside sponsors, put everything together, came up with the flyers, and now I'm freaked that I'm missing something.

Though that's what my mentor's around for, she and I went over everything in the afternoon.

Quote of the day:
"Such a random combination for a closet, you've got coats, a laptop, and buckets of sand?"

Aside from all that planning chaos the second floor still looks like a crime scene.

Here's our computer lab currently.



The tape is appropriate, but it's a process.

Basically what's going on is we're getting new computers with a grant so our old computers are getting moved to the back corner where the biographies used to be for a computer classes/staff training lab. The new ones are gonna go where the old ones were, except without the raised floors and fishbowl walls.

However, the new computers aren't in yet.

So in the meantime the patrons are using our staff lab over in the back corner, but still have to sign in in the regular spot.

And the staff lab has the walls up around it.

But I think they're different walls than before.

Or there are less of them or something, I don't know.

It looks a lot smaller than it did.

Like I said it's a process.

A very long and delayed process that started about 2 years ago with Fearless Leader in charge.

Aaannd now she's been gone for over a year.

So that was my workday. Along with some more training.

Tonight the boyfriend came up - yes more storms and rain, that's what like 5 days in a row now?

Or is it 6?

We watched Lockout.



Scale of Awesome says 6/10.

I do like Guy Pearce.

And it was nice seeing him as the good guy after seeing him go all psycho crazy on Iron Man 3.

It had its moments but that trailer is completely misleading.

Snow actually gets betrayed by his own team and gets forced to go on this mission or he'll be stuck in that prison.

As opposed to the trailer saying people recommended him for it.

Langral: I don't like hurting you, Snow. 
Snow: Is that why you're having him do it? 
Langral: I can have Rupert bludgeon you all night. 
Snow: I'm being beaten up by a guy called Rupert?

Snow: Ok, see here on the map? 
Emilie Warnock: Yeah. 
Snow: That's where the pod is. You get in it, you fly away. The good guys will come and get you, ok? 
Emilie Warnock: On my own? 
Snow: You're a big girl, right? Here's an apple and a gun. Don't talk to strangers, shoot them.

And that was my night.

Now I'm gonna fall asleep watching some Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

Cause it's taking over my DVR.

Marathons are good, except when you get behind on watching them. Then it's just an overload.

Song of the day:

Someone That You're With - Nickelback

bet that video took a long time to put together.

yeah, yeah, i know, it's a Nickelback song and they're awful.

but i like this one and used to listen to it all the time in high school.

besides, he's married to Avril Lavigne so he can't be that bad...right?

*cough* right.

out at 11:59, holy crap tag in use.
