Life at the library, adventures with friends and other hysterics...

"it's gonna be awesome, awesome, it's not 2 in the morning, hey!"

Quote of the day:
Magician: "Grimm's Fairy Tales, terrorizing children for over 200 years."

So we had a magician come in today for a summer reading program. He was pretty good, very impressive. Most of the stuff you can kind of guess as an adult, but there were moments where I was like, wait, where the hell did that quarter come from he threw that in the cup!

I should throw this out fairly early in the post, it's currently 10:30PM. I'm on a crusade to start going to bed earlier as staying up past 1AM makes my mornings miserable.

The majority of the posts on this blog are timed at 11:50PM so they can be considered day of. I actually challenge you to find one within the past month that wasn't listed as 11:50something. So as part of this new rule no more back-timing, this girl needs to sleep. She'll already lose enough at camp as the freakin' night patrol I gotta enjoy it while I get it.

Not that I'm going to stop staying up all the time, it can't exactly be helped when your boyfriend works the night shift and sleeps during the day. But not as often as I have been.

What else did I do today that was good? Oh bought food for the Food Drive sculpture. They have a pretty freakin' awesome idea that I can't post cause it's still a bit of a secret but you should stop by later in the week to check it out. Bought a bunch of green beans cause they needed green cans. Grateful I didn't have to carry them up to the apartment, staying in the car until tomorrow when I'll drop them off.

It's amusing because the barrel in the staff room is practically full but there's nothing in the public one.

That will change once the sculpture is built. The point is to draw attention to the drive so you can get donations.

Though I'm guessing most branches consider it a burden rather than fun. I'm hoping they get into it, I mean the winner gets $50 worth of prizes from the Boss's Boss's Boss. For serious man.

Good other stuff, oh bought a squirt bottle. For the cat. No more biting, I'm tired of waking up to it. My arms are covered in scratches it's ridiculous.

Ummm....what else? Oh, sent the freakin' songbook that could have took like 2 days but ended up taking like 10 months, woops. But that's what you get for working 40 hours, directing a camp, and getting your master's all at the same time.

It's okay, staying busy is keeping me distracted from the madness that is me. If it's too quiet I get all into my own head and crap - hence the headphones - so having a task is good. Keeps me motivated and happy and all that.

That's not something you hear from many people.

Work makes me happy.

But it does, I like the people and the place, and I can actually see that I'm making a difference.

Though every once in a while I do need a break. Which is why tonight was nice to have no major obligations. Got some groceries and Warehouse 13 season three!! which I've been counting down for but not on here cause you guys already think I'm nerdy enough - did some laundry, ate the rest of those leftovers, did some more laundry, and now just about to start Warehouse 13.

But just like one episode.

Or I won't sleep.

And that would break this whole early to bed thing.

Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts, the show is like freakin' potato chips. There's no stopping until the fat lady sings...cause the bag's empty.

Alright, episode one of season three, then I'm out.

Here's a clip for you because I find it humorous. Just watched the ones from season three and can't stop watching the Jaime Murray stuff over and over. Her accent just cracks me up. And Allison Scagliotti makes me laugh all the time.

As season three hasn't been uploaded yet you're stuck with my other favorite,

 Season Two:



i love 1:15, not just one bleep but four.

and 0:43 was same thing Laura did on WMC set. just throwing that out there.


and she's posted and out of here by 11:05!

which is good cause her second summer reading program for teens is tomorrow and she's freakin' out!

"Who throws a shoe? Honestly?"

"You fight like a woman!"

Just another Manic Monday.

Though I did get to jam for a few hours with the new super awesome supervisor. Who I have yet to nickname.

I'm working on it.

8 hours of public service later and I'm home.

And that was pretty much my day.

Mom brought me green socks.

Squirt came to volunteer. Showed off her crafty skills, made some crafty stuff for TAB.

Mentor came back from her vacation, I think I actually made her proud. The Underdog rises.

Speaking of Underdogs, we watched Austin Powers tonight - after the Voice. I haven't seen the movie in years.

Years.

The first time I saw it was with my cousins. We actually watched it literally 4 times in a row. Maybe more.

Same movie.

Over and over.

So much so that I memorized the entire first half, so it was amusing quoting it in my head. Though I've lost quite a bit of it, I still have the best lines memorized.

"That was a pre-emptive 'sh!' Just know I have a whole bag of 'sh!' with your name on it."

But I remember us in my aunt's basement all spread out on the floor watching it over and over. Then playing Street Fighter. I called the blonde chick Hoku - even though that wasn't her name, but that's who she reminded me of. Then proceeded to get my butt wooped as they were good and I was not.

"Well they should, those filthy buggers, they go from port to port."

The second one I don't really have any memories of, but I saw the third movie in theaters with my sisters, and I'll never forget this because I remember they both went to the bathroom in the middle of the movie.

But like, Second Sister left and then Oldest Sister left, and in the meantime Second Sister came back and she was wearing these flipflops that we had made fun of her for. And apparently some chick in the next stall to Oldest Sister was also wearing flipflops and she was tempted to say, (but thankfully didn't as that would have been super awkward), "Are those your damn flipflops?"

It kind of became a one-liner in our family, though we haven't said it in a while. I'll bring it back.

There are a lot of one-liners in my family.

Another famous one includes, "People are EATING here!" I was little and obnoxious and either singing or dancing or perhaps both, and Oldest Sister and her husband used to take me places. We were at some resteraunt and I was singing/dancing whatever, being obnoxious, and my brother in law looks over and says, "People are EATING here!"

I think you had to be there for that one.

But it has evolved now to people are sleeping here, people are studying here, people are etc. here.

Though another great one - most of our one-liners do come from him - was, okay I was little - again - and he was like my bestest friend in the whole entire world. And we used to play "bestest treasure" in which he would find like a rock or pinecone or something and claim it was his bestest treasure and I couldn't have it. And then I'd con him into giving it to me - though now that I'm old I realize that he was con artist - and then it would be my bestest treasure, and he had to find a new one.

Anyway, so the one-liner kind of evolved from that. I used to have a lot of cats, well at the farm there were a lot of random cats. And I loved them, cause they were my random cats. And so he said that the cats were his.

And I yelled "everything on the ground is mine!"

And then he pointed to one that was in the tree, and I yelled "everything on the ground and in the trees is MINE!"

And he asked what if they were jumping from the tree to the ground, which led me to change my theory to "everything on the ground and in the trees and in the sky is MINE!"

And yeah, that stuck.

But I was little and cute.

So deal with it.

"They are mutated sea bass."

Alright, I'm out. Exhausted. Long day tomorrow.

Clip of the night:

Why don't I take the stairs?

It's amusing how much Elizabeth Hurley reminds me of Jaime Murray as HG Wells. Though HG has much better fighting skills, sorry Vanessa.

"What kind of shell has a nut like this?"

Song of the night, go here: Ming Tea's "BBC" BBC Seven! BBC Heaven!aka Austin Powers' fake band

They also perform "Daddy Wasn't There" in the third movie.
