Love's what I got, Don't start a riot, You'll feel it when the dance gets hot...

I knew there was a reason I still wore this ring.

So I need to work on my phrasing.

Apparently saying "can I help you with anything else" just brings unwanted responses about asking me out.

So I went with "can I help you find anything" but then they just changed it to "your phone number".

It's situations like these where I hold up the left hand and then they go away.

Fantastic.

And I don't even have to say anything.

Though I'm not actually engaged what we learned in school is actually true. You pick up more clues from nonverbal communication than you do verbal.

And that's all the English major you'll get out of me tonight.

Staff meeting in the morning, not so excited about possible changes but if it happens it happens. I was told I was both valuable and efficient today so that was interesting. I attempt to do my best. We'll see what happens.

Had a massive freakout moment tonight. Remember I did that whole big huge project on Greek Mythology because I had this book that I thought was on a list of options to choose from but then it ended up not being on that list, or any others for this week so had to start from scratch with a book that's actually from one of the lists. But it is cultural so I thought that's why I picked it for this week. Apparently I must have picked it for last week's nonfiction selections.

It was ironic though because Sam the Man and I were talking about Prometheus today, trying to figure out what his specialty was. I don't think I could see that movie. Apparently it's pretty graphic and I heard some kid had a seizure while watching it because it was so intense. Probably not one to go on my list, though I do like the mythology fiction movies or books like the Percy Jackson series is fantastic, and now the Lost Hero series. But Rick Riordan used to teach mythology so he knows what he's talking about.

Anyway, the point is I had to start over and finished in a couple hours, but it's posted and done! Not as well done as the original Greek Mythology one but it works. You should read "Underground" by Shane Evans. Super cool. Great coloring.

So that's done, and my other books are posted online which just leaves class on Saturday and I gotta be across town by 7AM then so I should enjoy sleep now while I still can.

Songs You Know But Forgot You Knew Them:

"What I Got" Sublime


so different from their others yet their only number 1 single. love it. flashbacks.

you can call me your fool, only wanna be with you...

Why are all the sculptures of the Greek gods naked?

Seriously?

I'm trying to make a powerpoint with images of the gods and I can't exactly include those since a parent might complain, but those are the best examples because they're holding the symbol that represents them like a trident or lightning and they're not animated. Though animation might not be bad since it's for kids.

So yeah, Greek mythology. I'll post the link when I'm done if you're into that stuff. I'm kind of a nerd for it. Well, that and ancient Egypt...and Drew Barrymore, Women's Murder Club, Chuck, Leverage, Castle, the list goes on.

Today was not the best of days but it wasn't completely awful so I'm calling it a victory. It was the morning that mostly was bad but I was stressed and then something else just freaked me out and pushed me over the edge, needless to say I spent my lunch hour lying on the couch trying to make it all go away. Didn't work.

And that just makes it sound bad, which is was, but not because of work at the moment really. It was sea of estrogen at the home branch today total awesomeness - got called over there since a coworker is sick - and it was fun, like 5 of us total plus the aides and 2 supervisors for a staff meeting. Superwoman brought us pizza. I used to love that cause I got pizza, but now I'm full-time elsewhere and we get nothing. Mentor and I pretended to be bitter. Maybe Superwoman can pacify us with some donuts or juice as our meetings are in the morning instead of the afternoon.

Cleaned up a little in the backroom, shifted some stuff around, it's becoming quite the black hole for stuff, but it is summer reading so you can't keep it anywhere else.

Any big plans for the 4th? Mine are still a work in progress but mostly buy too many fireworks and head to the farm to light them off with the family. Always a lot of fun, we buy far too many, it's ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is that I have yet to buy any at all. And I get a text from Mom going na-na na-na-na cause she bought some. Gonna have to call up my dorm mom to make sure they're open and head out there this weekend. It's amusing cause it's tradition that I call and she answers something to the effect of "yep, we're open!" Don't even have to ask, she just knows. For like the past 5-6 years.

Does anyone else feel like they're losing circulation in their arms at night and need to immediately go to sleep because it's starting to hurt and if you're asleep you won't feel it? And then wake up and it's fine? Is that normal?

Part of my arm is swollen, no idea why though I wouldn't be surprised if it was from Carter biting me. I'm so covered with them I can't tell whether he bit there or not. Awkward angle, I'll check it in the mirror momentarily.

If I regain circulation in my arms.

Made a lot of progress on the digital book project for Children's Lit. This is the only major one left aside from posting the ones I read online and writing reviews about audience, appeal, and awards. Then I'll be done! Until August! Woohoo!

I want a popsicle so I'll go get one. Just because I am. Maybe it'll bring back the circulation. Is that normal? Am I gonna like lose my arms or die or something? Question of the day.
