Today...
More supplies fun.
Made up a spreadsheet so everyone knows where to find stuff.
Yes, that has become my life.
Isn't it exciting?
I feel stuck.
There's so many changes being made and I don't know what to think about them.
Am I actually happy there?
Do I want to stay?
I have the degree, should I be looking around for other jobs?
Everyone keeps telling me to.
I don't know. Maybe it's just been one of those weeks.
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I like the people, I like the patrons - well most of them - I like the location, I don't mind the hours so I guess I'm happy.
I have TAB.
They make me happy.
It just sucks that all the girls my own age bailed on me. But that's okay, I still have friends there.
In fact, the New Guy and I talked about library staff hitting up Vegas sometime for a conference.
That'd be awesome. I can see us all walking the strip, playing craps, seeing shows.
It's making me look forward to the boyfriend and I's upcoming vacation.
Going to see Pentatonix and that's about all we have planned so far.
We'll probably do some gambling, but not a lot. Last time we went there the majority of our time was spent walking the strip, and it was a lot of fun.
Though this year I'll attempt to keep everything in my pockets.
Or get one of those cheesy fanny packs.
Apparently Drew loves them, who knew?
I'm back on the Closer. Up to season two.
Remember how I'm a nerd?
Anyway, I've got that and hockey to entertain me for the next 24 hours.
Bubby's singing the national anthem at tomorrow's game. Well, his school is. It always amuses me cause the boys always look like they're in pain whenever they're forced to do anything like this in front of people.
Reminds me of my directing musicals days.
Did I mention that? Used to help out at my old grade school. We did plays every year and they were awesome. Drug my college friends out to watch them and they would always laugh because my boys always looked like they were the worst thing in the world.
But the girls and all the younger kids loved them.
And the boys had fun too, it's just day of they had to be cool.
I miss those days.
Part of the reason I'm excited that TAB's gonna start filming a web series to promote library services. Get to write and direct every month. Huzzah.
Maybe that will bring the fun back.
Let's hope so.
Alright, music and I'm out.
Who I Am - Danielle Bradbery
you cried, don't even lie.
ironic song choice for the post, i'm aware. but it was stuck in my head all day.
legit pre-midnight, holy crap tag in use.

dudes, you're on your own!
I only went in for 2 hours but it still felt like an eternity.
Don't know why, must have been just one of those days.
Sleeping in was nice. Got up around 11, made some lunch and watched Grimm.
Which is good cause Once Upon a Time season one came in for me today at the library.
After a few episodes I went in, then out to dinner with Oldest Sister for her birthday - we hit up an Indian joint. I have a box of leftovers that I of course left in her fridge. We went over there after dinner to watch the Avenger's blooper reel.
I own it but have yet to open the box.
Then came the joy that is homework. Finished one assignment and posted to some discussion boards. Only one more assignment that's not due until Friday and I'm gold.
Now I'm watching Castle. Dude, it's Jacobi! Totally screamed. I'm sure my neighbors were less than enthused. Carter jumped.
Sadly it wasn't as pathetic as the scream that came immediately following my recognition of Paula Newsome on Bones. Which was literally a split second before she slammed the blinds shut. Meaning I saw her eyes and that was all.
Did I mention I was a nerd?
If you have no idea who I'm talking about go to 0:37 here:
She's been in all the census commercials too and she plays Vance's wife on NCIS.
but it still comes back to Women's Murder Club.
Speaking of, official start date anniversary is coming up. I have Sketch's giant artwork hanging on my door to remind me. It's pretty sweet, pretty sure I posted it at one point or another though I'll repost it on actual date.
Yes, I'm aware this is totally lame.
I did enjoy dinner with Oldest Sister, talked a lot about dating and all that. Apparently Squirt has a new boyfriend and she's in high school so it's so the drama.
But that's all I got for the day.
Back to an all day shift tomorrow so I should crash soon.
Only 11:40 but I'm zonked. Hopefully will able to stay conscious until the end of Castle.
i especially love 1:00-1:07
"again my name is ronald, total eclipse of the heart."
maybe i should hold off posting for another 3 minutes and it'll be a real 11:50.
except I'd never remember cause about 90% say it's 11:50 and it's a bunch of crap.
cause it's way after but i still want it listed as today's.
eh.
posting now, sleeping after.

don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.....
Alright, four more for ya:
Book #5 "Shipbreaker" by Paolo Bacigalupi
Nailer and the rest of his crew are shipbreakers - they scrap old ships and sell what they can. A hurricane hits and stalls all work. Nailer and his friend Puma are out searching for food when they discover a huge ship overturned. They go inside and start grabbing everything of value, but what happens when they find a girl barely alive on the ship. Do they kill her and make a profit or save her and risk losing everything.
Scale of Awesome says: 7/10 I don't think I explained it very well but I was actually impressed by the story even though I don't know much about ships.
Book #6 "Payback Time" by Carl Deuker
Mitch is the high school newspaper's star reporter. He's all about the news. But his senior year he's reassigned to the sports section. He used to play football so he's not completely clueless but he hates the assignment because all the coach wants him to talk about is their star quarterback (who just happens to be Mitch's ex-best-friend). This becomes difficult when Mitch and his photographer Kimi Yon become intrigued by the backup quarterback. He throws and plays better than anyone on the team but when it's pointed out to the coach the player starts playing worse to avoid being detected. Why doesn't he want the coach's attention? Why is his past so mysterious? Mitch is intrigued.
Scale of Awesome says 6/10. Quick read, a lot of sports stuff, but I kind of figured out the ending really early in the book and I just wanted to get to that point.
Book #7 "The Lost Hero" by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson has gone missing. Completely vanished. Meet Jason, wakes up on a bonus, no idea who he is, apparently has a girlfriend named Piper and a best friend named Leo. Oh, and they happen to be demi-gods. One of the gods has stolen Jason's memory and is holding it hostage because she's been kidnapped and Jason has to be the one to save her. Zeus has closed off all contact from Olympus so who else is there to assist him on this quest other than Piper and Leo.
Scale of Awesome says 9/10. I listened to it on audio and while the narrator was annoying at times I was so deep into the mythology aspect that I rarely even noticed him. An excellent story, seriously.
Book #8 "Zombies vs. Unicorns" edited by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black
Okay, I've rambled enough about this book already but apparently I was supposed to post my final version of the booktalk. So here. Read it or skim it whatever.
There have been many great debates over the years. Obama vs. McCain, Pepsi vs. Coke, Edward vs. Jacob, but the one debate I want you to focus on today is the debate of all debates, the quandary of all quandaries: Zombies vs. Unicorns.
This novel is a collection of stories about, you guessed it, zombies and unicorns. Team Zombie is led by Justine Larbalestier and the team leader for the unicorn squad is Holly Black. The book goes back and forth with a story about a zombie followed by a story about a unicorn, lather rinse repeat.
Many aspects of Zombies are covered, their love of brains, their strong devotion or hatred for their loved ones, their ability to travel in packs and stare at you, their cold hands, and their undead-ness. There's even stories about zombie children!
"But there was another voice in my head, a quieter one way in the back telling me to leave. To get out of the house and away from there. To go back to into the rain. To hitchhike to London or starve or even just call home. And while I can still assign blame I want to make sure you know. This was all Franklin's fault."
They've got Unicorns covered as well. Their ability to heal, their draw to virgins, their desire to help baby unicorns, their love of chocolate milk and you know that big spikey thing on their foreheads. There are even stories about the depression that can go along with eternal life and the violence of becoming a killer unicorn. Surprisingly, some of the unicorn stories are even more violent than the zombie ones! Some stories are serious and some are parodies. This is more of a parody.
"'What does being a virgin with opposable thumbs?' she said.
'Nothing!' the unicorn said. 'But will anyone else in the herd listen to me? Of course not! They go off and grab the first thirteen year old who coos at them and then it's all *insert girly voice* their purity will lead the way...blah blah blah... Lead the way to a whole bunch of dead baby unicorns maybe. I want a little more competence in my heroine.'
'Um, I'm drunk and sleeping on a bench in central park,' Alison said. 'That meets your criteria?'
'Hello!' the unicorn dipped his horn and hoisted the tangling sleeve from her wadded up jacket. The one she had been using as a pillow. 'U.S. Marines?'"
So, do you like brains? Would you like healing powers? What's it gonna be? Team Zombie or Team Unicorn? Read Zombies vs. Unicorns by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black and choose your side in the debate of the century.
Scale of Awesome 8/10. Okay so this book was seriously gruesome. And I'm not even talking about the zombie part of it. That was graphic but the unicorns were gruesome. The part I gave you was parody but duuuude. Like seriously.

"FINALLY! signs of intelligent life from inside the Dear Jane Gang!"
