"This wand is about as useful as a Kardashian library card."

Got to jam with Sensei this morning, well afternoon I guess it was.

We had a magician come to perform for Summer Reading at the home branch. Sensei and I counted kids and stamped and stickered and all that for their Summer Reading Booklets.

Though we did sneak in during the act.

The guy was pretty good.

I'm still trying to figure out how he made a hammer disappear.

Or blocks change numbers.

Here he is performing some other tricks.



He is highly entertaining.

I saw him last year as well, go here: "it's gonna be awesome, awesome, it's not 2 in the morning, hey!"

Still trying to figure out how that quarter trick.

Anyway, the whole show all I'm thinking is Burt Wonderstone.



Have I given that a Scale of Awesome rating yet?

The boyfriend and I watched it a couple weeks ago.

It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Scale of Awesome says 7/10.

Normally I'm not into the stupid funny stuff but this had legit funny stuff mixed in.

Kind of like The Rocker.

That was the major highlight of the workday.

After work I went out to see the boyfriend.

We watched The Paperboy.



Holy crap Batman, that was a depressing movie.

Not only was it depressing it was god-awful.

Scale of Awesome says 2/10.

So we followed it up with the first 45 minutes of the last Batman movie.

Cause it was on.

Tempted to watch the rest but I need to sleep so I'm refusing.

Speaking of sleep, I should be doing that now.

Work tomorrow then homework all night.

Gotta get it done so I can work on camp stuff...

Then they'll both be done at the same time and I'll have some peace!!!

Until mid-August.

Then I'm screwed.

Music:

So I posted this video last year - it's the Star Wars movies cut up so that they sing Call Me Maybe.



Anyway, the guy created a new one for Lord of the Rings.



not as good as his Star Wars one, but it's a start.

And if you don't like that give this a try:



the boyfriend sent it to me and I find it highly entertaining.

in what speech did he say "swag"??

Can't Touch This


I think that one is my favorite.

"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!
