Metaphorically Applause

Ah, a day off.

I feel like I have to celebrate every time that happens and I don't have major plans.

Slept in, that was nice. Woke up around noon and watched People Like Us.



Chris Pine, Michelle Pfeiffer, Elizabeth Banks - who's in everything now, Hunger Games, What to Expect When You're Expecting, Our Idiot Brother, Pitch Perfect she was producer and cast member, she's directing a segment of Movie 43 which is basically a film stocked with more celebrities than Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve combined - which is saying something.

And you know Chris is pretty popular now with Star Trek and Michelle's always been popular so I figured it would be good.

If you watch the trailer you've got the storyline. He's this big shot in New York who's in over his head, his dad dies so he goes home for the funeral where he finds out his dad is leaving this big chunk of cash to this chick and her son. He follows them and figures out she's the sister, etc.

It was pretty good, Scale of Awesome rates it at about 7/10, aka good storyline, humorous moments but not something I'm going to watch over and over.

Now I'm back to Charlie's Angels.

Season three.

Yes, yes, I know. I've seen all of the episodes of seasons 1-3 like 5 times each but I got season 5 and am attempting my way to it. Even though the thought of season 4 just doesn't seem right.

And I don't even know why, it's not like Sabrina's my favorite and she's the only one that leaves.

In fact I don't know that she's anyone's favorite, which is ironic cause the show was built around Kate Jackson.

Originally she wanted to play Kelly so the pilot makes Jaclyn Smith look like the star, but she changed her mind at the last second - though too late for the script to be re-written. Jaclyn was actually the third billed below Kate and Farrah, but finally made her way to the top during the 4th season.

Yes, I know, I'm sad. But Drew does own the rights to them so what do you expect?

I only jumped back to CA cause I finished season one of Lie To Me. I don't have season two because they only had one and three on sale at Target (for like 10 bucks each) so I'll have to get season two off Amazon - or no, now I have a handy dandy Best Buy gift card from the boyfriend's family that I can buy it with, woohoo!

Yes, so we went out to dinner tonight at the Mexican restaurant in the college town. I joked that you could tell the students from the not students when a waiter dropped a plate and they clapped. Though according to his sister-in-law you're supposed to yell something about a job opening.

We did a lot of clapping in the cafeteria. That was when I went. Meaning freshmen and sophomore year, don't think I set foot in it all of Junior or Senior year. But anyway, yes, supper was fun. Their family gives out Valentine's Day presents, which I was unaware of but the boyfriend did some shopping to cover. But I got that, some chocolate, a candle, more gift cards, I like stocked up and didn't even know anything about it so it was a good day.

But dinner with their family is always fun. They're a goofy gang similar to my family so it feels like natural. The boyfriend is still sick - though he does finally have his voice back. The problem with that though is now that he's better he has to work second shift this weekend so I don't get to see him anyway!

Oh well, next week it is.

So now I'm home with my leftovers. Think I'm gonna throw them in the microwave, eat some more then crash. Everything always tastes better after midnight.

Songs of the day:

One Love - Various artists around the world

cool video, great song.

heard this one on the way home, haven't posted it in a while.

Word Disassociation - Lemon Demon

cooler video, far too much time on their hand - love it. same guy that does Potter Puppet Pals which if you haven't seen you should google cause it's highly entertaining.

and she's out.

Smoke on the water

Fire in the sky.

A year ago today I graduated from college. Oh the joys. It feels weird because it doesn't seem like it's been a year. And I was so excited to be done with homework forever. HA! Speaking of, only 42 pages left in Book #1 for Saturday. Still have to get a hold of the Book #2, if it doesn't come in the mail tomorrow I'm screwed. Maybe I'll just go buy another from Barnes and Noble, but then I'm sure, the next day it will get here in the mail. Oh well, I will donate it to the library. There's holds on it - which is why I'm buying it and not waiting 'til it's available.

Oh well, today was less of a suckfest than yesterday even though I had to work all day. No patrons yelled at us, I think they finally got the whole it takes longer now because we're just learning thing. Secretly I still miss Horizon just because it was so much faster and the receipts were fast, and you didn't have to search for buttons because there were shortcuts. We'll get there I'm sure, but for now it's still frustrating.

These were the songs stuck in my head today at work. I sang them both. No they have absolutely nothing in common. I guess they're both sang by dudes. So that's one thing. But other than that, no.

Have fun.

"Smoke on the Water" Deep Purple

awesome.


"Word Disassciation" Lemon Demon aka Neil Cicierega

he's the dude that does all the 'potter puppet pals' stuff which is hysterical. Anyway, sometimes I sing this at work in my head when I walk down the aisles. Yes I do know all the words. But I've had it on my ipod for like holy crap junior year of high school that's like 7 years now? Toast man. Toast.

Tomorrow I have off from both libraries - shocker - so it's going to be play practice central. Performance is on Thursday already, I guess I'll see the progress tomorrow since I haven't gotten out here for over a week. Should be fun.

Maybe the parentals will let me sleep in since I don't have to go in 'til the afternoon. Hmm...
