"The first thing you can expect is a punch in the face so you're lucky I just screamed."

Title was from an aide to another aide - quote of the day.

So I found out today that my mother is more stubborn than me.

If humanly possible.

She sent me a recipe in the mail with my Valentine's Day card, then today when she came to work (to pick up her book on CD cause she uses me for my library card) she brings along a bag of ingredients for said recipe.

Cause she knows I'm stubborn and won't do it.

Told me I'm supposed to make it for the boyfriend for Valentine's Day to which I laughed cause I can't cook.

Which you know if you've read this long enough. I burn everything.

But my apartment is still standing so even if it's scorched I call it a victory.

Tonight I made spaghetti, only burning myself once.

Another victory.

So a new recipe will probably kill me.

I'll see what he thinks about it and go from there.

We still don't have plans, aside from not going out cause it's like a madhouse everywhere.

Probably stay in, make something and watch Almost Famous.

But Mom got her book on CD and I got to see my music mentor since she was with mom. Was good to see her back in action. Camp is coming up fast!

They brought cookies.

Pretty sure mom is determined to be the favorite.

Even if she's not trying I'm pretty sure she is.

Every time she comes in she brings food so that makes her the clear winner.

There was food everywhere today because of various celebrations. But TPD had stuff, we had cookies, reference had stuff, even third had snacks.

Though they always have snacks, I work on the wrong floor.

I'm exhausted. Today was super long. Ended with a TAB meeting, lots of debates going on. Well, more rambling than debating but they're good kids so we have fun.

I don't know, just something about today's I was just zonked by the time I got back downstairs. But I sent out the meeting minutes before closing which means tomorrow is just Volgistics and follow-up.

We voted on Summer Reading Events. Superwoman is okay with us having three cause the other branches get three - small victory but I'm taking it, though it won't feel small when it comes around - so we voted but as some of the regulars couldn't make it to the meeting I've sent the options to them and will wait to hear back until I make any final decisions.

Library Golf is one for sure.

The second is looking like decorating jars - drawing on super thin paper and taping it around then adding a light so it lights up like a paper lantern. Or putting stickers on it, painting over them and pulling them off to reveal the design underneath.

Fitting for the "Beneath the Surface" theme, though Cabin Fever basically said "screw the theme" and since she's in charge I'm going with it. Saves me from finding a way to make library golf to fit.

The third one is up for debate but I'll keep you posted.

After that I came home to homework. Originally the boyfriend was going to come up but his work schedule is messing with his head. Ironic that he's working days and having trouble whereas nights he's fine. But I guess you get used to that. I think he just doesn't like putting up with managers. Cause they're not around on 3rd shift.

So I did Internet Reference homework instead. Not due 'til Friday but tomorrow I'm interviewing a librarian over the phone for Diversity, then Thursday is Valentine's and then it'll be Friday so it's good to get it out of the way.

I started at 9 and just finished.

And now I just feel like blah meaning I need to post music and go to sleep immediately if there's any hope for tomorrow being better.

I Love It - Icona Pop

They're Swedish.

I absolutely love this song and have had it on repeat in my headphones for literally over an hour. I've been working on this freakin' assignment since 9PM. Meaning 3 hours on the same paper, staring at the same screen, searching the same things over and over and over and all I can think of are the lyrics to this song.

Fitting.

Here, mellow out.

King of Wishful Thinking - Karmin

Their cover album makes me love them even more. Before the fame.

OUT!

Groove is in the Heart

So, what did I do with my halfday off?

Rizzoli and Isles dancing behind the scenes - gotta love it

oh the joys. they do this a lot. but this was angie's birthday so i felt the need to post it.


She's back!

Paget's back on set. love it. Totally stoked for Criminal Minds - coming back September 21st! And the whole gang is signed in for the new season. They said they're bringing her back first episode but we'll see. You know Morgan's gonna be mad. Hotch will probably take a beating cause he knew. Not sure about JJ.

Other than working 11-2, not finishing my puzzle, writing barely, cleaning out my desktop, I did catch up on my TV/movies.

Watched the new Warehouse 13 online. HG's back with a vengeance! I heard rumors of a spinoff, I'm stoked but not. Cause I mean it'd be awesome cause she'd have her own show. But then it wouldn't because she wouldn't be with Pete and Myka and Claudia and all that. Maybe they'll do crossover episodes like they do with Eureka. and now apparently Alphas. It's like SyFy is blending all their shows together. Which is sweet. I know, nerd. Moving on. This week's episode was awesome, I highly encourage you find it online. Jack and Rebecca are back - "And me?" "You gaze at me lovingly." - they were Warehouse agents back in the 60's and Rebecca came in first season to help with case. They brought her back in second season and now in the third. Awesomeness.

Then went to see this:

Cowboys and Aliens


It actually was pretty good. Scale of Awesome says 8/10. Indiana Jones meets Space Cowboy Bond in this western good vs. evil flick. Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell. Directed by Jon Favreau - but see, everytime I hear that name I think of him in the Replacements, not him as the director of Iron Man.

Anyway, despite peoples' negative opinions on the movie - those who haven't seen it and say it looks dumb - I rather liked it. and would totally see it again...on DVD.

Quotes of the night:

"You're a bit of a blonde in a brunette's body."
me to my niece. cause it's true. she's just a little goofy. and blonde...at times. We told her she needs her own blog and that can be the title. The post can all be about B words. Boys. Brains. Bananas. Whatever. We'll see what happens with that.

"Watch out for Bobis."
not even gonna try to explain that one.

Oldest Sister: "Get your head out of your purse!"
M: "It smells nice in here!"
goofy.

and the famous
M: "Blame it on Dad. It's his fault I'm stupid."
but she knows how to spell stupid, so she's not that bad.


Also tonight saw the preview for the new Three Musketeers movie - totally going go see that.

Love Mr. Darcy with a sword and Orlando Bloom as the bad guy.


Music Rec's for the night:

"Groove is in the Heart" Deee-Lite

love the video. everything disco is just fantastic - clothing, dancing, just pure awesomeness.
