"For a few to be immortal many must die."

Have you ever had one of those feelings where you're running cause you’re late,
Well you're not really running it's more like jogging,

 But it feels like running,

And the air that fills your lungs is so cold that it makes you feel like you're going to throw up, pass out and/or have some sort of asthma attack?

But of course you can't throw up, pass out, and/or have some sort of asthma attack because you're in class.

And you have to present your final project.

So that would make things really awkward.

Especially for the pregnant teacher in the back row.

So you make it all the way through class,

Present your project in under the maximum time limit,

Jam with your friends for one last time before the summer,

Then make it back home to watch a couple movies you have checked out and THEN end up throwing up for an entirely unrelated reason?

Anyone?

Just me?

Thought so.

It’s just been one of those days, I feel like crap but I took a shower so I’m good.

I mean, I should be celebrating! I’m done! Until June! Woohoo! Huzzah! Much excitement, yeah!

And I ran into the Library Goddess and her current grad assistant in the process.

PS – the current grad assistant, completely professional and capable of great things, her next one? aka me? Not so promising. But I’ll do my best.

Anyway, Woohoo! Huzzah! Done until June! So, in way of celebrating, and also to thin the pile currently sitting on top of the cabinet, I watched “In Time” and “My Future Boyfriend”.

Polar opposites, not only in storyline, genre, and special effects, but also in likeability on the Scale of Awesome.

“In Time” starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, is about a world in which time is the only currency. Once you turn 25 your clock starts running. You have to work to earn more time or you’re dead.

Oh yeah, and it has BBT's Leonard in it as the best friend and Number Four's John Smith as the gangster bad guy around the block.

It’s not like I had the greatest hopes going into it, and dude, about halfway through I about turned the thing off and gave up.

But then Amanda Seyfried shot a cop so I figured I’d have to give it a chance. Cause I like her. Mean Girls all the way!

“Boo, you whore”

Anyway, the second it was over all I could think of was, “Well, that was dumb.” And was forced to put in a comedy to get the whole dystopian theme out of my head.

So I ended up with “My Future Boyfriend” Barry Watson and Sara Rue. Two of my favorite under-rated actors. And the movie was fantastic, as opposed to the tragic blah listed above.


Basically, Barry Watson’s character is an archeologist from the future, he finds a book written by Sara Rue and goes back in time to ask her about some of the concepts included in it, aka love, passion, etc. Did I forget to mention that there are no real emotions in the future?

But it’s a comedy so he comes back, everyone thinks he’s crazy, she works for a paper very similar to the National Enquirer so she interviews him for an article believing this whole time he’s full of crap – as is everybody else – and in the mean time is engaged to this other dude.

But like any romantic comedy, they fall in love and it’s total chaos.

Scale of Awesome says 9/10, made me laugh, made me cry, makes me want to buy it and watch it again which is more than I can say for the whatever you want to call it listed above.

That one I give a 3/10 and that’s purely for the fact that Amanda Seyfried is in it. I gave it a chance, but dude, unless you want to watch Justin Timberlake attempt to be some badass from the dystopian ghetto then skip it man, skip it.

I really did give it a chance, I did, sort of, but then Matt Bomer started acting all serious while JT was acting all fake badass and I couldn’t do it.

The title quote of this post is really all I'm taking away from it.

Quotes of the day:

Me: "But I do drink green tea and have a fat cat so that counts for something." carpool buddy and me talking about librarian stereotypes and how I really don't fit.

CB: "What kind of idiot smokes a pipe while someone's trying to play a wind instrument?!" fun times at flute practice

Alright, tomorrow is a full-day to make up for my weekend “off” so I’m out.

Will probably throw My Future Boyfriend back in and konk out.

"Love Song" Adele

favorite new version

May the schwartz be with you.

Woohoo, shifted 93 shelves in under two hours with Fearless Leader.

That's gotta be some kind of record man.

We're shifting our oversize books into the regular collection - originally they were along the outside walls because they didn't fit on the regular shelves.

Anyway, so we're shifting everything toward the front meanwhile adjusting the shelves. So we each had a cart, I pulled and took the cart to her, meanwhile she shelved everything on the new shelf and then BossLady adjusted the shelves as we went along.

Then after work the boyfriend surprised me. Was on the phone with him on the way home, pulled in the driveway and he was right behind me. Sneaky man. No idea he would come, but it was our only night before he goes on his trip and I start camp stuff.

Tomorrow, I'm stoked.

We watched Spaceballs and The Mummy. I found my comics - I got these awesome Mummy comics in Chicago - and ever since I've had a craving to watch it. Ancient Egypt man, it's my downfall. Obsession turned crazy and it's all because of those movies.

And as Spaceballs is a classic and I had not yet watched it we went with that one first.

I told him I was going to be boring girlfriend, was exhausted after the shift but we had fun, put up with my crap. He's a good boyfriend.

"and everyone knows that pigeons are whores!" - Craig Ferguson

I used to watch Craig's show every day for like three years. But then he got married and everything changed. Now he lost the sound machine and has a robot for a co-host. But Geoff is pretty cool.

Alright, going to attempt to get all the way through Scandal for the third night in a row. It's an excellent show I just keep falling asleep. I gotta start it earlier. Anything after 1AM and I'm screwed. Which is sad as before that was when I did all my homework, watched music, jammed out, etc. Now I'm old.

Out for the night, here are your music rec's:

"Love Song" 311

haven't heard anything out of these guys lately but maybe it's cause i rarely listen to my radio. they need a comeback album.

That poster needs more exclamation marks.

"Scott, if your life had a face I'd punch it."

You know what my favorite thing in life is? When people plan it for me. I just love that. Like, they pick out who I'm supposed to be with because we're soulmates or something. And there are a group of them that think this. One of them is an ex-boyfriend and is the one who told the supposed-soulmate that we're meant to be. What does that say about our past relationship? I'm tired of it. Yes, I'm indecisive but please, don't assume that I'm going to marry someone that you think I'm meant to be with just because you tell me OR HIM! that it's meant to be. If we were soulmates something would have happened already.

Moving on.

"He punched the highlights out of her hair!!"

Loving Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Giving it an 8/10 on the Scale of Awesome. And oh my god, it took me the whole freaking movie to figure out that Ramona is Lucy McClane from "Live Free or Die Hard" aka John McClane's kickass daughter. "Dad....now there are only five of them" girl. All I could think of was Claudia plus some mystery character that I'd seen in a movie at one point or another. It drove me nuts. But huzzah! It's her. And yeah, it's like a mixture of Claudia from the Warehouse and Lucy from LFODH. Pretty much sums up Ramona Flowers, colored hair included. Well, minus the seven evil exes. Claudia does have one in witness protection but that's a different story.

"Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" is a movie based off a series of comic books by Bryan Lee O'Malley - yes it's at the library - it's filled with comedy, action, and video game effects. It jumps from scene to scene similar to a graphic novel with an abundance of gaming sound effects and subtitles all over the place.

And Mae Whitman, again. God that chick is in everything. You may know her as Lauren Graham's daughter on "Parenthood" but she'll forever be Maggie Taylor from "One Fine Day" to me. Or Heather whatever her last name is from Grey's when her spine is like all weird and bent in half or something. I just remember Izzie has this line, "You're in pain. Sometimes I'm a bitch for no reason at all." But I guess it's fitting since she guest-starred on Arrested Development as Michael Cera's girlfriend. He plays Scott Pilgrim, the nerd who's in a band - called Sex Bob-Omb - who has to battle Ramona Flowers' 7 evil exes in order to be with her. They've formed this sort of league thing to kill him. It's amusing.

I loved the Wallace character as well. Played by The Other Culkin Boy. Kieran, not McCaulay. Yeah, the other one. He plays Fuller in Home Alone - "I don't want to sleep with Fuller, he wets the bed!" As mentioned earlier, I've seen too many movies which is why it took me over an hour to figure out that Ramona Flowers was actually Lucy McClane with colored hair.

The movie was semi-like The Rocker. I thought it would be dumb going in but ended up with an awesome soundtrack. I'm jamming to "Garbage Truck" and "Black Sheep" huzzah for all things obscure. "We are Sex Bob-Omb and we're here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff!" then the music plays. I was cracking up.

Also amusing that Chris Evans plays one of the evil exes and it was just so different than his Captain America character that we just went to see yesterday that I literally had to sit up and stare at him to make sure it was actually him. I'm still secretly wondering how they made him all scrawny in Captain America before he gets all the injections. I'm assuming he didn't drop 100 pounds and shrink a few feet for the role but you never know.

"You made me swallow my gum!"

"Money that's what I want" Flying Lizards

She's not lipsyncing. I have no idea what you're talking about.

this is super cool

didn't know how they did that with the piano

"Love Song" Sara Bareilles



Still haven't made my grocery run yet. I was going to today but Mom brought lunch and pop - as mentioned earlier I can live without food just not without pop so I should be good for a while. My cat, on the other hand, is almost out of food so I'll have to at least get that tomorrow. Might as well do them all at once.


OUT!
