There's a dead bird in my parking lot. I'm too scared to go see if it's Jack. Is that a bad omen? The bird that rides home with you on your car turns up dead in your parking lot the next day? I mean, it can't be a good sign. What does that signify exactly? Maybe I should read my horoscope and see what it says.
"Thursday, Jul 7th, 2011 -- You reserve the right to be different today as spacey Uranus activates beautiful Venus in your 5th House of Romance. You aren't interested in being just like everyone else, so show off the twinkle in your eyes and enjoy the bounce in your step. Don't be afraid to move to the rhythm of music that no one but you can hear."
Well....that was helpful. Although I do dance, mostly while shelving, randomly.
"That's Your Horoscope For Today" Weird Al
Harry Potter version. Love it. Until the end prediction thing, creepy.
or here's another
awesome video, wish I was that talented.
So I did it. Wore the cowboy boots the whole day without tripping or falling. I was proud of myself. Oldes Sister showed up to work and took a pic then sent it to Second Sister so there's visual proof. Huzzah!
Went over to Oldest Sister's house for dinner, we watched Date Night and CaddyShack plus finally uploaded all my camp stuff. She made salmon. It was fantastic.
Now I'm gonna watch Warehouse 13 - watching the bloopers Laura Harris has one! Huzzah! But no matter who she plays she'll always be Jill to me. Look it up.
Tomorrow the maintenance people will hopefully be here to put up my curtains. Oldest Sister is gonna jam out here while I'm gone. Should be fun.
Alright, I'm outta here!

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun...pigeons, work, match game and cowboy boots
I drove a pigeon home with me today. Literally. He was on my car when I got in it at work and literally rode on my hood/windshield all the way to my apartment. I called him Jack. He had some serious balancing skills. When I got in I honked, you know expecting that would scare him off, but no. Then I turned on my windshield wipers - but no matter how many times I honked, windshield-wiped, and sprayed him with that water stuff that goes along with the windshield wipers he wouldn't leave. So I drove home. And yeah, he stayed. And, of course, when I got here I expected him to jump off then, but no. He was still on my car when I went back out to go to Target like an hour later. But yeah, as cool as Jack was, that wasn't happening again so I pushed him off. He landed okay and walked away. Headed toward a black bird. No idea what type it was. But I know this one was a pigeon cause I got up close and personal with it. Took pictures and everything. Oh, I should upload one.
Yes, Jack rocked the ride. I wonder if he'll still be in my parking lot tomorrow morning.
Today was good. Superwoman called this morning asking if I could work all day Saturday, then called again half an hour later telling me I work too much and made me take Sunday and Monday off. Apparently I spend too much time there. or there(s) since I work at two branches. I don't know, that didn't make any sense to me either and I wrote it. Anyway, I was thinking today - that's new, I know - that I used to be like the laziest person ever. I was content to stay on the farm, live with my parents and move pipe for a living. Because it was like a month in the summer. Maybe. And then I was done. Now, if I were to have to go back to that I would go nuts with boredom. I like staying busy. And while 2 jobs, taking classes for my master's and directing a kids camp - plus other random kid-directing-related jobs aka plays, VBS, etc. - may sound daunting, I've adjusted and I like it.
Clips of the Day:
Yay for more Match Game!
Okay, so this is my favorite moment in all of Match Game. We watched this episode right before my Delayed...Reaction partner and I went to Scaryoke dressed as Charles Nelson Reilly and Brett Somers.
He went around all night calling himself an actor of the "legitimate theatre." I laughed.
Fannie's answer is my favorite, seriously hysterical, I died on the spot. But when we asked that question to the people at Scaryoke this one dude said "baskets" and I lost it then too.
"Third Rock From The Sun" Joe Diffie
apparently their label made this giant globe to promote the video and a bunch of college kids stole it and rolled it down the street...haha.
Okay, so it's on. Tomorrow I'm wearing the boots to work. It's a short day so I'm going all in. Because SOME people don't think I can do it. And now they demand pictures as proof. So, if I see some of you tomorrow and you catch me pointing my phone at my feet there is a reason! well, this time there's a reason, but anyway I'm doing it! And I'll post the pics tomorrow as proof as well. I'm sure some of you have faith in me.
Alright, gonna watch some more Match Game and work on some of these camp application. They're coming in hoards now that we're past the due date. Which is usually what happens.
Have a good one!

I love the smell of gunpowder in the evening.
Huzzah for too many fireworks.
Okay, so not a full post tonight, just a quick update to let you know that I made it through both the wedding and the 4th. And I'll post tomorrow all about the shenanigans involved in both. Lots of fun.
And, just so you know, I would totally wear those cowboy boots to work tomorrow if it wasn't going to be such a long day. I'm proud of those calluses.
So yeah, this week it'll be wedding/4th/warped central. And I'll even post some pics because some of you *cough*uncletheartist*cough* don't have Facebook and won't see them there.
Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th!

banjos duel as grandma has an unfortunate encounter with a reindeer.
I love my job. Just gonna put that out there. Today the Queen of Awesome brought me super hero crazy bands so I went around today with Iron Man, Captain America and Spiderman.
And it was super funny this morning because it was our Post-4th-of-July party and my Glee-Loving Boss made a bracelet out of pipe-cleaner and beads, hands it to me and says, "Here, you can't say I never gave you jewelry."
Another thing I love about my job - interlibrary loan. Currently I'm watching Best of Match Game. The pilot isn't as funny but it has Brett Somers' husband on it. He agreed to do it if they let Brett join the show as well. Every answer he has he makes fun of his wife. Funny stuff.
Okay, so if you haven't seen the pictures on Facebook that I was tagged in - I haven't posted mine yet - for the love of God do it now. That way we can get over it and move on faster. Yes, I wore a dress. No, that's not happening again anytime soon. I will, however, wear the cowboy boots to work. I'm thinking Thursday since it's my shorter day.
The wedding was awesome. Outdoor on a ranch, seriously pretty. There was a slight rain delay but it was a baseball wedding so they're used to those. Well, not like a baseball themed wedding but the groom is a baseball coach and their family is linked to the SF Giants. The bride was super calm the whole time, no bridezilla moments even when he sat around in the basement for like 4 hours.
After I got back it was fireworks central. And me and my niece and nephew are pretty goofy so Oldest Sister took a lot of pictures of us posing. There's a super awesome one of me and M holding confetti guns and looking like we're gonna peek around the corner of it and attack. Definitely one to post on here. It's my profile pic on Facebook. Plus Charlie's Angels with J. "It's Bubby's Angels. Who the heck is Charlie?" This is second general CA, I went as Dylan with my two friends as the other angels. We had shirts made and everything. Love it.
Other fun quotes:
-"Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water." I had this neverending fountain in the road and a car pulled up and sat there for like five minutes then when it looked like the fountain was done he passed it and right at that moment it started shooting a bunch of stuff again right as he was passing it. Awesomeness.
-"Not as comfortable with strobes up your butt?" I sat down to watch the finale and the chair was super uncomfortable.... yeah forgot to take the bag of strobe lights out of my back pocket. After that it was much better.
-"I feel bad drinking out of this. But Jesus drank wine! So its okay." Sister-In-Law and I got koozies at the parade and they had religious stuff on them. We used them to hold our alcohol.
How does one "Watch their language". Just curious.
Songs from the weekend
"Dueling Banjos." Deliverance
A dedication for Beej who spent an hour trying to think of the title of this movie. We knew it was one word so we kept guessing titles that sounded western.
That kid is awesome.
"Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" - Dr. Elmo
was stuck in my head all day today. I have no idea why or where it came from. No grandma or reindeer books at all.
I swear it sounds like he's saying Grandpa got run over and not Grandma but I'm going with it.
I love 0:58. Pause. Turn. Sing. SEND THEM BACK!
Alright, all for tonight. Today was 9-12, 1-5 and 6-8 so I'm gonna was MG and crash.
