Finally caved and bought "Goin' Through the Big D" by Mark Chesnutt.
Stuck in my head and driving me nuts.
What did I do today?
Um. Homework.
Well, work first. Then read a lot for homework at lunch.
Um, at work I signed a lot of people up for library cards. Weird thing they all had February birthdays as I kept finding myself saying, "February, great month for a birthday."
What else?
Umm... came up with some posters for Thursday's Summer Reading Teen Event that I'm sorta kinda in charge of. Though I'm dragging Mentor with me cause I know I'll flail and she's the expert. Hair Design students are coming in and giving the kids some Monster Hairdo's to go with the Own the Night theme. Should be fun. So I hung those up all over the place.
Umm... oh got Dark Shadows Collection 1 on DVD through Interlibrary Loan. So far, awesomely cheesy. Thinking about bringing it to Camp J. Halfway through the first disc.
Which reminds me I haven't had a chance to properly review Dark Shadows. Will do that this week. The more I read about it the more I love it. I wanna watch it again to see if Elizabeth is wearing a key necklace and who Barnabas greets at the door during the party. Apparently - oh spoiler alert - Elizabeth killed her husband and wears the key around her neck, and the surviving main characters of the original Dark Shadows make guest appearances at the party. Jonathan Frid's last film, died like a month later.
He looks so young in Dark Shadows, I was expecting for him to be older. But it's good, I may buy it off Amazon when the collection is re-released in July.
What else? Wrote out the paper due Thursday but waiting to post it until I get citation questions answered by the Library Goddess she's the pro. I could normally do them in my sleep but my main question is if the title includes a ? does it need a . after the ? ?
Guess we'll see.
Popsicles and popcorn for supper.
And that's pretty much today.
More tomorrow.
"Grow a Pear" Ke$ha or K-E-dollar sign-Ha as on Glee
i'm just not hooked on your phonics. seriously love the melody lyrics and rhythm to this one.
Tomorrow's Word of the Day: "Hoghenhine" a member of one's family.
Weird.

shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah.
First Children's Lit class today.
Flashbacks to college Children's Lit with Serck.
Next up, read a bunch of Golden Sower nominees and add them to goodreads.com profile.
The website is pretty cool, and addicting so you should check it out.
And it's free.
Leaving at 7 this morning wasn't fun, but I stopped for coffee and stayed awake the whole time.
Which is more than I can say for now, I'm falling asleep as I type.
So I'll keep this short.
The Library Goddess was abundantly pleased for me to bring her one as well, but I have her order memorized. Large Iced Latte, no flavor.
After four hour of Children's Lit, basically four hours of discussion on literacy, I headed home to eat leftover burrito stuff and I was gonna take a nap but I watched "Hugo" and "Boondock Saints" instead. I'll give them both 6/10.
Intrigued, but not going to watch them again anytime soon.
Sasha Baron Cohen in a serious role just weirded me out.
I'm used to hating him, not rooting for him.
It was humorous to see Chloe Moretz her go from Carolyn Collins to sweet and innocent what's her name.
I'm debating whether I want to pre-order Dark Shadows the original series. It's pretty expensive off Amazon but I think it'd be worth it. I'm all for cheesy movies, especially at camp. But probably not this one for camp.
I definitely want the soundtrack, it's fantastic.
Stoked to have today and tomorrow off. Will most likely be church and then nap time.
I got some camp stuff done today too so was pretty functional and all that.
That's a weird word.
Was pretty productive, yeah let's go with productive.
Did I mention I was sleeping?
The boyfriend is off in California 'til next week. Lucky, I'm stoked for Vegas. Checking out some books and all that, find hotspots. Should be fun.
Alright, I'm aware this is lame, but I'm gonna konk out with my big fat cat.
Maybe eat some Lucky Charms.
Cause they rock.
"Shake Your Groove Thing" Peaches and Herb
this song reminds me of two TV references. That 70's Show and Mike and Molly.
it was that 70's musical which was hilarious, and then the mom's boyfriend from M&M said something about it being the same peaches but herb number four so they should dig up her yard.
yes, i'm lame. i'll make up for it tomorrow. out!

Cause I love you, Yes I love you!
I conformed to the norm today at work.
It was physically painful.
See, I'm an English snob.
Not all the time.
But there are moments that bring out the snob in me, if that makes sense?
It's okay though, I'm in good company for this stuff.
Anyway, Snob Moment:
For Summer Reading we have all these bookmarks. For the youth there's "Bats at the Library", Teens is all about "Own the Night", and then the adult theme is "Between the Covers" which I find amusing.
Anyway, there are two designs for the adult bookmarks. One is from Gone with the Wind and the other is from Frankenstein.
My conformity was this, I've officially adopted the speech, "you can either get Scarlett O'Hara reading about Frankenstein, or Frankenstein reading about Scarlett O'Hara."
My snob moment is this: Frankenstein is the doctor, not the creature.
So technically, it would be The Creature reading about Scarlett O'Hara.
But explaining that to people just leaves them wide-eyed and confused, and I've found it's just easier to call him Frankenstein instead of saying, "The Creature created by Frankenstein reading about Scarlett O'Hara."
He was never officially given a name, Frankenstein sewed him up using recycled parts, brought him to life, and watched him kill people.
Meanwhile only referring to him as "The Creature."
Anyway, conforming to the norm, physically painful, yet probably worth it in the long-run.
It was one of those days though. And it wasn't just me, it seemed that about 90% of library employees today were having one of those days.
Though I made it through unscathed, the day was filled with minor flailing.
Okay so it was major flailing.
Which really isn't all that unusual on my part, but still not exactly pleasant.
So Slim Shady and I did what we do best. Zenned out on her couch and watched a marathon of Parks and Rec.
It was originally going to be Booze Cakes, but in the end there was neither booze, nor cake, just laziness and some comfy couches.
Plus Fearless Leader wasn't there and she's really the baker out of the three of us.
We gotta find a day that all three of us have the next day off and that we're all free. Which is nearly impossible, but hopefully one day soon it will happen. That Mudslide Cake thing was awesome.
I still have the urge to go see Dark Shadows again. Queen of Awesome and I gotta get on that. I'm thinking next week. Or maybe this weekend. I have class on Saturday, I KNOW! 8:30 AM which means I have to leave at 7.
Not that I'm complaining.
It'll be worth it, the Library Goddess is always worth it, I'm just not a morning person.
Speaking of morning people, I need to crash and quick. Kickoff is tomorrow and Mentor and I are gonna be swamped for about 4 hours straight. Plus all the morning stuff we have to do beforehand.
Songs of the day:
"Nights in White Satin" Moody Blues
oh my god i love this song. before dark shadows i'd never heard it before but i've been singing it every day since. it was at almost the very beginning, well 1972 very beginning when Maggie Evans becomes Victoria Winters and rides with the "unshaven young people" the Collinsport.
perfect song at the perfect moment.
"Top of the World" Carpenters
though i sing this one as well, which bugs me cause it's one of those songs like "it's a small world afterall" that if you sing it over and over it makes you want scream.
Tomorrow's Word of the Day: "Vimineous: a rare adjective meaning 'made of wicker'. From a Latin word meaning 'willow'."
