"Who's that?" "An actress." "A real actress?" "Yes, a real actress!"

Why is it that shampoo and conditioner bottles always run out at different times?

You're using the two together at reasonably the same amount each time, so why does one empty faster than the other?

Or is that just me?

So now I've got an empty conditioner bottle with half a thing of shampoo left. How did that even happen?

I mean, I know I'm bad at math, but it just doesn't make sense.

I think it's the long hair. I need to chop it off.

No, not all of it.

I would die if I chopped off all of it. I could never pull that off.

At some point in grade school I chopped it off to like chin length and hated it so never ever again anything less than shoulder length.

I'm sorry, rambling, I'll stop.

Today was fun, flew by fairly quickly which was weird cause I was dead tired. I don't know if it was the weather or what. Apparently I slept through a massive hail storm in the morning.

Woops.

Car looks fine, didn't even notice.

It was busy on and off but I felt like I barely sat down. When I wasn't helping at the desk I was weeding the youth collection and checking in. Tomorrow is a halfday - huzzah - AND I get to start at the home branch, for a whole like 2 hours, then work branch, then practicum, then date night!

Halloween style.

Which basically means dinner and scary movie night same as last year. I don't remember what we watched last year but I know it was scary at some point but not scary enough for me to remember what it was a year later. I think it had Sandra Bullock in it. I know that really narrows things down.

Hey, I have a blog. I can rewind to things like that.

Be right back.

Ah, nevermind, it was a Bond flick. Young Christopher Walken with blonde hair. Bullock must have been a different night. Though it was scary at some point yet not scary enough for me to remember a year later so I was half right.

See, this thing actually is quite handy, who knew?

What are your Halloween traditions?

We talked about this a lot today, I don't really remember trick or treating, I lived on a farm but I know I did it at some point cause I remember being a witch, Simba, Darth Vader and the dude from Scream in grade school - plus Charlie's Angels in high school which is more of a long story.

That's a really weird combination of characters, I'm aware. Sitcom in the making.

Tomorrow should be fun. Last year I wore a Hunger Games shirt, year before that I think it was Batman. This year is up for debate. I have a lot of fun shirts. Maybe I'll do something Star Wars, Warehouse 13 or Leverage...hmmm....

That's all I got for today. Class was interesting, we talked about making libraries welcoming for youth then came up with designs for our dream libraries. It was interesting seeing people attempt to make things on the online chart board. I'm bad at art so I let them do that part I just yelled out the essentials for a teen space. Computers, couches, tv's, video games, music area, possible loft, you know, the usual.

It looked pretty cool by the end there was even a highway surrounding the building but then we ran out of a time and it was lost forever. Sad day.

Okay, now that's really all I got. Finished my homework - practicum paper that took much longer than planned because as mentioned above I suck at math so it took me like 8 times to count up my hours. Ugh.

Still another assignment for Youth Services but it's not due until Sunday so I'm gonna do it Friday night. Should be fun.

Okay, now that's really really all I got.

Music and I'm out.

Knockout Matthew Schuler vs. Will Champlin


i'm sorry but that was epic.

Knockout Caroline Pennell vs George Horga Jr. but ignore the George part


"caroline makes me want to buy a cat..." she had that down perfectly.

I'm rewatching all of the episodes of The Blacklist to do a count of how many times I've screamed the phrase "Run Lizzy Run". So far I'm at 3.

The title's a long story involving Twitter and a famous follower who actually gave me a shoutout tonight after quoting my boss and tagging her. It was amusing.

Okay, now that's really really really all I got.

"Calm down you maniac I'm parenting!" "The good ones can do it and open the door at the same time!"

It's so nice to be able to do homework and cheer for Squirt all at the same time.

Game night, she rocked it.

Starter on JV for a Class A team and all that.

I had to laugh cause I'm pretty sure they'd kick the ass of the varsity team at my old high school. Super competitive program and I can see why from the results.

But, not only did I cheer - though not as loud and enthusiastically as her mother - but I also took notes for a homework assignment due Sunday.

It's the whole 2 birds thing.

It's for Youth Services we're doing some sort of youth analysis project where we have to go to 5 places and observe youth then write up notes about it. I have 2 down, 1 more tomorrow at the meeting and then I'm not sure about the other 2 - but they're not due until next Sunday. I'm thinking a movie theater or the mall.

Something different.

It's amusing because there's only 1 guy in our class and when explaining the assignment the professor told the guy he would probably have to explain to the parents why he was sitting in the corner staring at their children.

Cause with a woman it doesn't seem as creepy.

Even though technically it is an equal amount of creepiness.

That's all I got for today. But my Practicum Count-up is at 47/90.

I think. I'll count better later.


Holy crap, Lester is on the new Sean P. Hayes show.

But he's not the same without Jeff so they'll need him to guest star.

Maybe work in the mail room.

I like that the chick from Smashed is in it.

Or was it Smash.

Either way I didn't watch it.

But apparently noone else did either as it got cancelled.

Hey it had Debra Messing in it.

I wonder if she's ever worked with Eric McCormack or Megan Mullally...

That's all I got for today.

On to the music.

I finished my Voice Top 20.

Xtina is looking the strongest but of course Adam has my number one pick.

Tessanne Chin – Adam

Matthew Schuler - Xtina

Holly Henry – Blake

Kat Robichaud – CeeLo

Grey – Adam

Brandon Chase - Blake

Michael Lynch - Xtina

Timyra Joi - Xtina

Briana Cuoco – Xtina

Jacquie Lee – Xtina

Tamara Chauniece – CeeLo

Ashley Dubose - Adam

Monika Leigh - Blake

Shelbie Z – Blake

James Wolpert – Adam

Josh Logan – Xtina

Caroline Pennel – CeeLo

Johnny Gray – CeeLo

Olivia Henken - Xtina

Ray Bourdeaux – Blake

Here are the first three.

Tessanne Chin - Try


i picked her as my number one because she was the best in the blinds hands down. totally blew me away and i think she could pull it off this year.

plus i love her accent. and that you can't tell she has one when she sings.


Matthew Schuler - Cough Syrup


really not a fan of the song but i am of his. first time the coaches have all turned simultaneously like that.

pure madness.


Holly Henry - The Scientist


love her voice but my favorite part about this video is her brother. voice kind of reminds me of caroline glaser from last year and someone else on the show who i can't place.

plus she looks like my cousin with blonde hair and it's freaking me out.



All I got for tonight. Hope you had a rockstar solid wickedly awesome day.

Legitimate pre-midnight post. holy crap tag in use.

"It's so romantic." "Mutual indemnification always is."

Bedbugs.

Gross.

Went in early for training on how to deal with them if we discover them in the library.

Gross.

She showed pictures and told stories.

Gross.

And afterward we all wanted to go home and take showers but we couldn't, we were stuck there freaking out about every book we touched.

Or was that just me?

BUT I did get to leave early cause I went in early. Which means I got to go home for lunch and I watched The Blacklist.

Holy crap.

That's all I have to say.

Holy crap.

If you haven't seen it you should find it online, it's awesome and if the rest of the season is anything like the pilot then I'm in.

After that it was practicum.

Practicum Count-Up 35/90. 

First official day staffing the women's library and dude it rocked. There were huge amounts of books checked out, I was really impressed. After that cleared out we brainstormed for a while, gonna make some flyers to advertise our opening and all that, then headed over to the men's building to figure out our shelving situation. We have way more material in the men's building and we're running out of space.

Looking forward to the booksale when we get to fill up on even more.

That's gonna be interesting...

After that I headed out to see the boyfriend. We went to see Prisoners.



This was another holy crap.

But this was more of a stand back and look on with horror holy crap, unlike Blacklist which was an on the edge of my seat holy crap.

If that makes sense.

I figured out most of it before the end - lots of twists and turns throughout the story but if you notice things from early on then you'll get it - but still, we sat in the theater after it was done and all we could think of was "that's messed up."

Scale of Awesome says 5/10, however it did have an awesome cast, obviously Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Melissa Leo, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrance Howard, BUT it also had Dylan Minnette who was in Saving Grace and since has had a bunch of guest appearances in things like Grey's, SVU, Lost, Medium, Major Crimes, and Supernatural. PLUS he's in a band called The Feaver which I enjoy.

This is one of my favorites.

27


I find them wildly entertaining.

After the messed up movie we watched some Big Bang Theory and World's Dumbest - yay. Oh and apparently he's so happy to have a "genius girlfriend" cause I was able to help him with iTunes.

Made me smile.

It was amusing though because the episode of Big Bang that was on was the one when Sheldon got all jealous of Amy and Stuart and officially labeled her as his girlfriend.

I told him he was so romantic, but not as romantic as the Relationship Agreement.



Now I'm back and watching - you guessed it - The Voice.

Since I'm not done with tonight's episode yet I'll post 2 more from yesterday's.

These two stuck out especially which is why I'm thinking Xtina has the best team at the moment.

Cough Syrup - Matthew Schuler


i've never seen all four turn that fast. though i really don't like that song at all i do like him a lot.

Too Close - Josh Logan


really reminds me of Bryan Keith which is why I was surprised he didn't go with Adam.


and i'm out. back to The Voice before I konk out.
