It's FRIDAY!! I feel like jumping up and down and singing Katy Perry.
Actually I really don't, but I mean I could.
You know, I could.
But I won't.
Cause it would freak out my cat.
But maybe I should, just to see if it would freak out my cat.
But no, I'll pass. My headache finally went away and I don't wanna get it back.
"Quelling a rebellion with a fork."
That's nice.
So I'm hooked back on Chuck.
Just in time since I have like four other series checked out. I always get distracted by one of my own in this situation, then they stockpile and I return half of them cause I'm like, "why was i interested in that in the first place?"
But now that Chuck is over I can finally catch up. Don't tell me what happens, I'm a season behind! Same with Leverage.
Anyway, the day flew by pretty quickly, as they all have lately. I hope it stays that way. Like that I keep enjoying my job. I don't want to get all the way through the program and then get bored with it.
Not that I will. Cause there's something new every day.
Did some fun supplies stuff today. Basically, once a year I go through all the first-aid kits, yes all of them, there are many many multiples - like one every 30 feet, and make sure they have everything on the list and it's not expired.
I'm calling it my First Aid Crusade. Got four down and probably that many more to go, but I'm having all these flashbacks from First Aid class in college and thinking I should get re-certified cause pretty sure that's going to expire soon.
That class was cool. Jammed in the back with Melanie, made sarcastic comments on all the retro videos and people faking injuries. Things taped to body parts so it looks like they're impaled.
"Is the scene safe?"
What are you supposed to do if the answer is no? Just stare at the guy who has a branch sticking out of his leg?
"Oh, it was a horrible skiing accident. I really should have watched out for trees."
You're a brilliant one there George. (Please tell me you get that.)
or
"I think you're dehydrated. Maybe you should sit down."
Dude, he's sweating compulsively, his face is red and he can't breathe, of course he shouldn't be standing!
Back to the Crusade.
The reference workroom had a serious amount of rubbing alcohol, which I thought was funny. It's like a stockpile or something. And like 3 handfulls of antibiotic cream, which none of the other kits had. Then 5 eye patches but no eye wash. I had to share the wealth a bit.
So that was supplies, I also cleaned all the computer monitors on the first floor, that was gross and made me want to sanitize everything. I'm scared to do the keyboards, that will be grosser.
It was one of those random jump from task to task days, cause aside from all that I was still compiling ideas for my booklist and working at all the desks.
Aaannd after work I got all my homework stuff done!!
Woohoo! Finished the paper, posted it, added more to the MARC stuff, e-mailed the prof, sent my thank you letter's and an e-mail to the one that wasn't there, attempted to figure out my summer class schedule, but as it isn't up yet I asked the Library Goddess instead. She knows everything library anyway, that's why I call her the Library Goddess.
Now I can sleep properly. And get stoked for margaritas and fajitas with the Cool Aunt tomorrow.
Which is good, I need a changeup. I've been eating a lot of fruit lately as it is overflowing in my fridge. Like literally, you can open the door and on the left is liquor cause I rarely drink it so it builds up, and on the right is fruit. I got pears, apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, more apples, clementines. It's a stockpile.
Everything today is a stockpile, apparently. I think I just enjoy using that word.
Stockpile.
Stockpile.
STOCKPILE!
Word of the day.
But Mexican sounds good, especially the jalapeno margaritas.
With all my rambling and noun-age you're probably thinking that I'm drinking one right now so I'll move on.
Is noun-age a word?
I'm making it one.
Song for the day:
"Have It All" Jeremy Kay
yes, i've posted this before but that was back in november. and i love it. so just go with it.
cause it's worth listening to.
Sleeping in tomorrow, woohoo! Off for the weekend. Lunch with the Cool Aunt and Madre, then more sleep or Downton Abbey maybe. But most likely Chuck. Yeah Chuck.
"Sometimes the nerd gets the girl." awwww, so true Chuck.
OUT!

And if the world stops spinning I'm not afraid to fall...
Yes, I know, I'm sorry I skipped last night.
To be fair I was exhausted.
Worked 9-6 and sat down a total of four times throughout the whole day. We were that busy. But there was only two of us, and we were closed the previous two days so we had all this material coming in and going out, plus the shelves were a mess, and the displays, I seriously was sitting at the desk for maybe an hour total and I was there 9-6. I mean, I was at the desk, just not having a chance to sit. Cause there were people all over.
To make a long story short, too late, I was tired so I turned on Sherlock and konked out. or attempted to. Then fell asleep watching the Husker game, which I had taped and need to delete cause I'm running out of space for HD stuff. I'll have to switch it over to regular definition. Is that was they call it? as opposed to high definition?
I remember this one line from "Red Green" was anybody else forced to watch that with their parents? where he says, "What good is high def when you're half deaf and half blind?!"
Today was pretty busy as well. 11:35-6, computer lab was packed, phone ringing off the hook, but it was a good day. It slowed down on occasion so that was nice, but it wasn't so slow that I was going bananas. Bonus points.
Tonight I'm thinking....food. I need to eat. and then...go through my DVR and weed out stuff I've seen....then...I should write some more. Cause I have some ideas, and if I don't put them down they'll go away.
Which I blame on ZH.
Not the ideas going away, no the process of putting everything down.
It's called a Shitty First Draft. and I'm not coining that, it's already been coined. In writing - of course - but it's actually a chapter in a book we had to read in college. I was amused. It basically says that your first drafts will always be crap compared to the final results. But it's an opportunity to put everything down. It doesn't have to make sense, it doesn't have to go anywhere, as long as it's down on paper you can come back to it later. or delete it later. It gives you that option.
So, I carry quotebooks, and write stuff in my green notebook - I've started doing that, calling them "simple scenes" and adding them into stories later. Most of them have absolutely nothing to do with the characters I'm currently working on, but it's a good exercise and I can throw them into stories later. or come up with new ones based around the scene.
Did I mention I was a nerd about writing? If I could I would just do that. But, as all writers are at times, I'm cursed with writer's block at the moment. on most of my big stories. Hence the quotebooks and scenes notebook. Anything else I can write about I will, but when it comes to an ongoing story, I've got nothing. Which is crap. and backwards of how I want it to be.
Perhaps I should start putting stuff on here. But that would be an effort on my part.
More than just the copy and paste function.
I have this thing, where I'm a perfectionist. and I hate everything I've written. I think it's all crap. I've been told it's not on multiple occasions by multiple people, but I still think it's crap. Because I just have this urge to go back and fix things, or change the storyline completely.
So, submitting anything on here, would mean I'd have to actually find something good enough to share with people, and other than Sketch and Edit, I've really got nothing of that calliber finished. Actually, I don't know that I've ever actually finished a story because of this compulsion. I keep going back and deleting stuff. or I'll get bored with it and move on to another, completely putting that one on the backburner even though I'd worked on it for months, years. There are stories on my computer that I started in 2002 and I still haven't finished. and it's not like I'm writing novels. My longest is maybe 50 pages.
But, like I said, perfectionist.
So, you get Sketch and Edit's, which reminds me that I have a couple of those actually ready to post. Sort of. Compulsion strikes again. I need to sign off of here so I can work on those and post them later.
Okay.
Enough rambling.
Food then writing. Maybe I'll turn on the Husker game in the background since I fell asleep mid first quarter. Even though I have seen it entirely already.
Silence messes with my head. Hence the headphones.
Alphabet Rec's
Since I skipped last night you get G's and H's. Have fun.
"Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight" The McGuire Sisters
used to sing this over the phone to an ex at night, but that was back when i still had a voice. i'm out of practice now.
"Girl Next Door" Saving Jane
good song. and amusing, since this one actually came out before Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" hmm....similar lyrics. I like them both.
"Have It All" Jeremy Kay (acoustic version)
"Scrubs" soundtrack
i really really really like this one. if you're going to watch only one choose this one
"Heroes" The Wallflowers
cause i like their version the best. even over the original, sorry bowie. c'mon, it's dylan's son, just go with it. he's got talent.
aannd it's another soundtrack song, this time "Godzilla" hence the destruction in the background, however I know it from "The Replacements" an excellent football movie. Keanu rocks. so does Jon Favreau. He's in front of the camera this time, instead of behind it. You should look into it, it's a fantastic comedy/drama/sports movie.
Honorable mentions: "Give In To Me" another soundtrack this time Country Strong
and "Head Over Heels" by April McLean. fantastic song that i would have posted but couldn't find it on youtube.
