Freedom!
I'd play "School's Out For Summer" but it's really the wrong temperature for that song.
So, last class today - Reference - just gotta post my online evaluations and I'm done for the rest of December!!
Aaannd then there will be classes in January...and then practicum in the summer....more classes and comps in the fall....but then I'll be Done Done.
Physical, actual, done-ness.
The done-ness of awesomeness.
Kind of like breakfast of champions but not really.
Anyway, woke up and headed to school around 9. Missed my turn!!! Of all things, I drive the same route every time, no idea how that happened. Saw 449 fly by and went, woops. But I still made it in time to get my stir on.
See, she's smart and doesn't let me cook. I get to bring bread and stir soup. That's why they pay me the big bucks. Well, that and cutting strips of paper, erasing boards, leading class evaluations, writing a newsletter, going to conferences, not too big of a deal. I'm actually diggin' the gig. The Library Goddess is pretty sweet. She got me a gift certificate to my favorite sushi place.
Which means the Cool Aunt might actually let me pay!
But I doubt it. We are getting some fajitas and jalapeno margaritas next week.
Anyway, back to the gig, it's pretty awesome seeing all the behind the scenes stuff in person. The conference was mad wicked. Got the posts to prove it. But I got her these Christmas ornaments with drink mixes in them, add liquor and it's a party! And a gift certificate for coffee. That woman can find good coffee anywhere. Has some sort of thing programmed in her brain for it. Very impressive.
Oh and gave her the packet of nominations from Superwoman. Basically we nominated her for this big award and came up with all this stuff and SW put it all in a nice fancy paper thing and I got to give it to her, saying she was a winner to us.
Which she is. And she did deserve to win.
Anyway, where was I before this? Oh yeah, so school's out for winter. Which means it's back to work as usual tomorrow and the rest of the week. Kinda nice though today. Came home, watched some Mike and Molly with my big fat cat, no homework to freak about, no work work to freak about.
That'll come tomorrow when I get to start planning for the giant holiday party on Saturday.
No pressure.
Oh well, my teens are pretty low maintenance. But still, it's a party. With that comes added stress. I'll figure it out.
Alright, gonna head back to Mike and Molly. Carl's actually got himself a decent girlfriend. Gotta see how long that lasts.
Though no matter what Victoria's still my favorite. I can't help it.
Victoria on bigfoot - "it's just sleepin' outside."
Pretty much sums up her character.
Katy Mixon plays dumb stoner so well.
Wow, I've posted that link so many times that "bigfoot" has its own tag.
Alright, song of the day.
Which reminds me I should start on that 12 days of Xmas music like last year. More on that later.
Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
it's a celebration song, right?
legitimate pre-midnight post. holy crap tag in use.
"and yes, I think he's a total jerk."

Saturday, June 2, 2012
shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah.
First Children's Lit class today.
Flashbacks to college Children's Lit with Serck.
Next up, read a bunch of Golden Sower nominees and add them to goodreads.com profile.
The website is pretty cool, and addicting so you should check it out.
And it's free.
Leaving at 7 this morning wasn't fun, but I stopped for coffee and stayed awake the whole time.
Which is more than I can say for now, I'm falling asleep as I type.
So I'll keep this short.
The Library Goddess was abundantly pleased for me to bring her one as well, but I have her order memorized. Large Iced Latte, no flavor.
After four hour of Children's Lit, basically four hours of discussion on literacy, I headed home to eat leftover burrito stuff and I was gonna take a nap but I watched "Hugo" and "Boondock Saints" instead. I'll give them both 6/10.
Intrigued, but not going to watch them again anytime soon.
Sasha Baron Cohen in a serious role just weirded me out.
I'm used to hating him, not rooting for him.
It was humorous to see Chloe Moretz her go from Carolyn Collins to sweet and innocent what's her name.
I'm debating whether I want to pre-order Dark Shadows the original series. It's pretty expensive off Amazon but I think it'd be worth it. I'm all for cheesy movies, especially at camp. But probably not this one for camp.
I definitely want the soundtrack, it's fantastic.
Stoked to have today and tomorrow off. Will most likely be church and then nap time.
I got some camp stuff done today too so was pretty functional and all that.
That's a weird word.
Was pretty productive, yeah let's go with productive.
Did I mention I was sleeping?
The boyfriend is off in California 'til next week. Lucky, I'm stoked for Vegas. Checking out some books and all that, find hotspots. Should be fun.
Alright, I'm aware this is lame, but I'm gonna konk out with my big fat cat.
Maybe eat some Lucky Charms.
Cause they rock.
"Shake Your Groove Thing" Peaches and Herb
this song reminds me of two TV references. That 70's Show and Mike and Molly.
it was that 70's musical which was hilarious, and then the mom's boyfriend from M&M said something about it being the same peaches but herb number four so they should dig up her yard.
yes, i'm lame. i'll make up for it tomorrow. out!

Bat Goggles man, they're all the rage.
I made it through the kickoff party!!
Still alive and breathing and functional and not like crying in a corner.
Today rocked, for serious man.
Morning flew by pretty quickly, but that's mostly because I was all over the place and freaking out the whole time. After lunch Mentor and I prepped for the kickoff itself, setting up tables and supplies, but she's a pro so she had the gameplan.
Some of our TAB kids came early to help set up, cause they're awesome like that.
The theme this year is "Dream Big" so our tables were stargazing, gold coin toss, paper lanterns, edible campfires, sparkling stars, bat tattoos and then of course registration and Bat Goggles.
Never in my life have I seen people so excited about wearing bats on their heads.
But they rocked.
So, I subtly said to Superwoman, hey, you should get the staff to wear these.
And I swear BossLady wanted my head on the platter.
Cause Superwoman was all over it.
So I took a picture of the two of us with them on, it rocks.
Actually I took a lot of pictures, but I'm not in this weekend so I won't get them uploaded and sent to our webmaster until Monday.
Which is probably bad, but they have some posted already from other people.
Especially the ones with Runza Rex.
Oh yeah, Runza Rex was there.
If you're not from Nebraska you probably have no idea what I'm referring to.
Here.
That's Runza Rex.
And some random little girl.
With a doll.
Anyway, yes, he's a giant dinosaur that is the mascot for a restaurant called Runza that's only in Nebraska.
So we had this giant mascot in the corner and people taking pictures with him. And I made the TAB kids take pictures with him, they were thrilled.
Actually they didn't seem to mind it so much, I took a lot of them helping out the kids, and we took a group picture at the end. It was like the ultimate passing of the baton when Mentor took the picture instead of being in it.
Which I don't like, I don't do well with batons. I've refused to take it from Liz for how many years at Camp J now? Nope, she will forever be the Britney Spears to my, whoever I am. I don't know, we just always laugh because her microphone looks like Britney's.
Though Mentor's been training me to take the baton on this one since January.
Which I think I can handle. We're not meeting again until September so I'll have primo time to plan.
First up when we meet again is decorating the YA area with some colorful art. Feels like the only white wall in the building and they want to make it stand out. I'm thinking sketches and paintings and all that. Got it cleared with the Boss, but I'll figure out specifics later.
So anyway, Bat Goggles, yes, they rocked. And the staff present loved them. Except for BossLady, but she pulled them off pretty well. Maybe I'll pull them out on Monday when I go back. Maybe that'll keep the creepers away. They'll think I'm creepy and be drawn to someone else for the day.
What else? Oh yeah, Squirt had a volleyball tournament so she had to leave the party early. I stopped by for her last couple games, they dominated. Don't think they lost a set all night. She rocks, glad she's playing with some good girls this time. This is with the high schoolers, she's playing with a bunch of JV-ers. But the high school she's going to has a Varsity, JV, Reserve and Freshman team. So pretty sure she's got a good chance of making it.
Tomorrow is Children's Lit with the Library Goddess so I should crash soon. Gotta stop for coffee on the way there, that's what I'm the favorite. And probably why she's making me her grad assistant. She does have a serious coffee addiction.
The tattoos covering my arms will probably stand out, but whatever. I think they're cool.
"Oh Happy Day" Sister Act 2
stuck in my head constantly. probably the best part of the movie. aside from the end concert. love the sequel, perhaps more than the original. though both are good. they should bring it back for a third round. she could be at a college this time. they did turn it into a musical, they could do anything.
though now when i hear that song i think of this as well. Mike and Molly - Oh Happy Day
i so love victoria.
"he taught me, he taught me HO-OW!"

Hush up, Goofy Grape.
It's official.
Victoria on Halloween
Two years of employment with the same system.
Go me.
A lot of memories have been made these past couple years. Fearless Leader and her musical phobia, Queen of the Known Universe bailing me out of a stalker situation, then me having to bail her out three minutes later from the same stalker, our Star Wars vs. Star Trek debates, Girlscout and me helping kids fish for bookmarks out of a plastic pool, making some booze cakes with Slim Shady and Fearless Leader... I could go on but I'll spare you.
Today was pretty fantastic, though I'm comparing it to yesterday and really, with that comparison, everything could be fantastic.
YesterDay. Not YesterNight. Loved spending time with the boyfriend. He fixes everything.
So I'm watching Mike and Molly Season One from the library. Shocking that I don't actually own it, it's fantastic and I'm constantly quoting Victoria.
"wake me up so i don't miss the big floating bullwinkle."
"she asks me that twelve times a year, i don't think it has anything to do with thanksgiving."
May have to go out and buy it later this week.
"hey i called an egg salad audible before any of that happened. somebody mentions pie and the whole exit strategy goes out the window!"
Got the whole day off tomorrow, sleepin' in, catching a movie with Oldest Sister and Squirt, then hitting up a baseball game at night. With fireworks as it's opening night.
"when in doubt, say it with cattle."
Totally stoked for the College World Series. Cool Aunt and I are going to opening game again. Wonder who's gonna play. Last year it was NC vs. Vanderbilt. We were all for the "black and gold". Was super cool for SC to win the last game in Rosenblatt and the first game in the new stadium.
Which I still call Rosenblatt.
Cause TD-Ameritrade is just dumb for a baseball stadium.
Music for the night:
Music for the night:
"Jar of Hearts" Christina Perri
Victoria on Halloween
Katy Mixon is fantastic as Victoria the stoner sister. Totally my favorite character of the bunch.
I'm taking tomorrow off of Word of the Day. It's my lazy day. Wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Huzzah!
Out for the night. Don't call me before noon.
"so yes, i do believe in bigfoot. and yes, i think he's a total jerk."

Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway
I've been watching too much SVU.
"Sometimes all that brooding intensity is just annoying."
I think it's getting to my head.
Gotta break it up with some comedy and music recs so I'll leave you with these and I'm off to watch 2 Broke Girls to laugh the night away. I love that show, it's hysterical.
Monday nights man.
You get that, Mike and Molly and Castle, plus the Closer once that comes back on. Although, I might have to crossover when it does. But that's what DVR is for.
No Castle tonight, some sort of 20/20 special or something. Castle's always good, I especially loved the bank heist episode. Super intense drama there.
Mike and Molly was supposed to be good tonight. Mike's mom gets a job at the school and she bonds with Molly over gossip. I'll watch that one before I crash as well. Should be funny. I love his mom. She's so awful.
Season one is out on DVD. I'm debating on buying it, but that's mostly thanks to Katy Mixon's "Victoria" character. Her Bigfoot story made my year. But of course you know that, since I've posted it about ten times.
Alright, music recs then finish this totally depressing episode of SVU, and switch over to some comedy so I can sleep. Tomorrow's a big day. Get to plan out my life for the next 2-3 years. I'll keep you posted.
"Miss Halfway" Anya Marina
love it. quite the comedian.
"Psycho Killer" Talking Heads
nerds. i love it. i was tempted to post the Bird and the Bee's remake of it but I resisted.
and just in case you missed it: Bigfoot
call that eleven.

I got soul but I'm not a soldier
Pics of the Day:
so sad i missed the scream of death it emitted before it died. but i was there when our tech guy replaced it with another.
"I have a craving to carve pumpkins this year. Would your children be interested so that I have an excuse to do it?"
They were all over it.
bubby
squirt
onward jungle warrior. don't ask.
front
back with light
Initials. Use it for everything.
Diggin' it. Put it outside on the deck so my cat doesn't kill it.
Posted my homework, tomorrow's meeting should be interesting. Yay pancakes!
Watched Body of Proof - was so hoping the killer tried to escape on a horse. but nope. too cocky.
Now it's Mike and Molly. Fantastic show. Loved Melissa McCarthy in Gilmore Girls with the ditsy comedy, then Bridesmaids with her tomboyness, it's cool to see her as a teacher and normal. And the only normal one in the family.
"So yes, I do believe in bigfoot and yes, I think he's a total jerk."
i know i've posted that like 8 times but it's still worth it.
"All These Things I've Done" The Killers
so weird, looks like johnny depp at 3:39 and nathan fillion with a mustache at 3:42
OUT!

well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease as i listen through the cemetary trees...
OMG patrons. This weekend was just weird. Which strangely is actually becoming quite normal.
One of the regulars went off on me about stuff and because I love my job, I just sat there and took it. I had to walk it off later but I sat there and didn't say anything. I actually had a whole reply in my head about libraries being there for people to better themselves. We're here for entertainment, we're here for research and we're also here for when you can't afford anything else. Which is true for a lot of people in that neighborhood. But, since I love my job, I smiled and walked it off.
Whatever, day's done. I'm passed it.
Now I'm watching Swamp People with Dad. Think I'm hooked. "Shoot him Lizbett!" Maybe I'll get Dad a Swamp People shirt for his birthday. I'm sure Mom would love that. Or maybe a coffee mug. He'd use that. Before this was Ice Road Truckers. Or IRT. Does it seriously need an acronym? Really? The chick trucker was pretty cool. But I still can't even think about the show without hearing Victoria's voice in my head.
go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-mYkJIcn8c
Me: "Who has that many spice bottles?"
Dad: "Mom."
Swivel Store Organizer is only 19.99. Huzzah!
Alright, commercial break is over. Joe's mad cause his stepson Tommy slept in yesterday and they're playing catchup. Troy is letting Liz (he calls her Lizbett when he's yelling at her to shoot a gator) call the shots on where they go this time. Junior and Willy are stuck in a bunch of weeds since the water level went way down. That's basically the highlights so far. and OMG! Swamp People has a blog. gotta post it. That's fantastic. http://swamp-people.blogspot.com/
"He Wasn't There" Lily Allen
one of my favorite singers and I like the album version of this song but I love this live one! fantastic. seriously. the guitar and piano are awesome.
"and everyone said you have to give him some time...and i'm glad that i gave it to him cause now everything's fine..."
"One Headlight" The Wallflowers
wrote a story based on this song but never finished. maybe i'll post that later as well. actually i think i've already posted a portion of it earlier. maybe during favorites week. i'll find it. My Life in Closed Captions: This is a week of my favorite things Day Five: Hob... there.
tomorrow is all camp all the time. so much for a day off. i'll keep you posted.
ps- yes i know i was supposed to finish the rest of the reviews on those books 9-12tonight but i dont have them with me here. will do it tomorrow night.

Another Day, Another Margarita...
Another fun motto for life brought forth by my sister. Pretty sure my cool aunt would agree. Especially if it was a jalapeno margarita. But tonight's was excellent. Supurb even. So good it was gone in like 5 minutes, not even. Or maybe it was just that hot out.
Oldest Sister and me hit up a Saltdogs game tonight, our Dogs pulled it off 5-4 with the final catch made by the right fielder stretching over the foul line. It was sweet. And an excellent game. There was much dancing. Because you can't disrespect the dance. 97 degrees but it wasn't so bad with the breeze and we were sitting in the shade.
Today was very busy. LA2 from 9-11, Aide from 11-12, 12-1 lunch, 1-3 LA2 at other branch, then back at the apartment for homework, Joe's football camp, Saltdogs game and now I'm finally done and seriously ready to crash.
You know how, when you're in the sun for a while, you get those headaches but you don't realize it until you're back out of the sun? Then it hits you with blinding pain? That's me.
Sad fact #1: My Victoria voice is gone. I had her down pact! when I had a cold, but now that I'm back to normal - well, my voice anyway - it's not even close. I feel like Phoebe with her sexy phlegm.

Music Recs:
"Ready To Go" Republica
"from the rooftops, shout it out."
was totally jamming at the game tonight because I haven't heard this song in so long that I had completely forgotten about it.
"Moneygrabber" Fitz and the Tantrums
another Sister Rec, very cool video
alright split shift tomorrow plus have to do a lot of homework. sleeping next. out.
Oldest Sister and me hit up a Saltdogs game tonight, our Dogs pulled it off 5-4 with the final catch made by the right fielder stretching over the foul line. It was sweet. And an excellent game. There was much dancing. Because you can't disrespect the dance. 97 degrees but it wasn't so bad with the breeze and we were sitting in the shade.
Today was very busy. LA2 from 9-11, Aide from 11-12, 12-1 lunch, 1-3 LA2 at other branch, then back at the apartment for homework, Joe's football camp, Saltdogs game and now I'm finally done and seriously ready to crash.
You know how, when you're in the sun for a while, you get those headaches but you don't realize it until you're back out of the sun? Then it hits you with blinding pain? That's me.
Sad fact #1: My Victoria voice is gone. I had her down pact! when I had a cold, but now that I'm back to normal - well, my voice anyway - it's not even close. I feel like Phoebe with her sexy phlegm.

"Oh, because Cheers was taken!"
So, it's official. My social life is dead and gone for the next 2 and a half months. I got my first camp application in the mail today. Geez. I just sent them out like two days ago. And I should be excited. Because I love camp! I seriously love it! I could ramble on about camp for days and days - I do, actually, to the BFF and I think it drives her bananas - but right now, I'm just trying to get through the whole grad school read your brains out thing. So, I think, for the most part, I'll upload the information into a spreadsheet and then deal with it later after the meeting. Which will hopefully either be this weekend or the next. I guess I should ask my partner about that one and if he has any updates on it. Gotta find a new binder as well - my old one is still stuffed with last years info and the year before that's as well. I have a whole corner in my bedroom filled with tubs stuffed with old camp forms, tshirts, bandanas, lanyards, envelopes with the old themes written on them, just like piled up in the corner. I should go through those as well.
I've lived here almost a year now - it'll be a year end of next week - and I still haven't completely unpacked. I now have pictures and paintings on the wall of the living room, so if you just go in there I can completely fool you. But if you make it past the bathroom to the bedroom then I'm toast. There's still boxes everywhere. And I don't even have posters on the walls. Which is soooo bizarre for me. Yes, I still act like a teenager in my decor choices. It drives my sister - well sisters - nuts.
So, this summer, aside from directing a camp, taking classes and working two jobs I will also not only empty all the boxes and put stuff away but also hang stuff up on the walls, get curtains that block out the sun - I hate myself every morning for putting that off - and...well, I'm sure I'll come up with something else later on. Other than clean. Which I also need to do.
But speaking of year anniversaries, I've now officially been at one of the branches for over a year....well, as of Monday I had anyway. Now it's been a year and two days...and still haven't had my 6 month evaluation. Which makes me laugh. But yes, a year. Huzzah! It's funny because it flew by. So it doesn't feel like it's been a year. And on the 24th I will have officially been at the other branch for a year. Although, technically, it was only for a temp position so my 1-year-official-anniversary isn't until like September 18th. Or 16th. I can't remember. I'll look into it later.
Songs for the night:
"Say Hey (I Love You)" - Michael Franti & Spearhead
love the video and the song. those drummers are sweet!
okay...what else....I'll put my ipod on shuffle and hit you with whatever comes up. nope, not that one...or that one...that one's just dumb...okay, i lied. i'll hit you with one when i find one that i haven't already recommended, doesn't suck or won't be stuck in my head for the rest of the night as i have to read and do homework stuff.
...close enough.
"Can't Fight the Moonlight" - LeAnn Rimes and Piper Perabo
because i like the final scene better than the music video.
i actually thought about this movie today during work - when she asks if she's on drugs and she's like "just coffee." See, THIS! is Maria Bello's perfect role. Seriously. This is who I see her as. So, don't go casting her in roles with British accents "Rick, watch out for those rocks!" I just cringe every time. I mean, the whole like 3 times I've watched it. I refuse. The Mummy isn't The Mummy without Rachel Weisz, I'm sorry. Okay, rant over. Anyway, this is Maria Bello man. HBIC bartender. Awesomeness. If you have no idea who I'm rambling about she's at 0:15 and she's the first one to scream. Piper's not bad herself, haha.
So yes, I do have the soundtrack and yes, it is amazing.
I'm still channeling Victoria... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-ne7vkA40 I'll just keep posting it until you all actually go there and watch it. Or start protesting. Whichever happens first.
Book #3 is finished now I'm started on #4, I'll give you a S.O.A. on them when I finish that one and post all the info. Huzzah!

Just wave.
Oldest sister has this story that's kind of turned out to be a great life analogy. Basically, back when she was in high school, she was told not to ride on this guy's motorcycle and then of course she did it anyway. And, while riding in town, she passes our parents. Knowing she's already in trouble she just waves. It's a good life motto - along with "that's something to scrapbook". Life is crap. Or so I was told today. So the least you can do, when times are bad and you know you're in trouble, is wave. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of waving this week.
Play practice today was interesting. The performance is Thursday but there were no jitters. Actually, there was no interest at all. They wouldn't stand still, they were talking when other people were saying their lines, they didn't speak out - I was in the third row and I couldn't even hear them. I'm beginning to be glad this is only going to last 25 minutes instead of the usual 45. So, we're not doing commercials anymore and the kids gave up on their rap-off at the end. It's a whole mess. But, with all the bad timing - got the script late, during sports seasons, almost end of year and they just want to be done with school - what else should I expect? But whatever. I'll wave for that too.
And I guess there was good with the bad. They're all out of their books - except one and that's allowed because she's the reporter and can read from the script - and the songs are better than the weird versions in the script now that Nic has fixed them. I applaud her patience with kids. I only come in like once a week - well, now like once every two - but she has them every day. Yikes. See, this is why I dropped out of the Ed program. Kids...not my strong point. Good thing I direct a camp, huh?
Anyway, my camp director partner and I - because he's involved in like everything - hooked up some mics and stuck them around the stage so we should be able to hear the kids through at least the third row.
And, we got to talk about the joy that is camp, and the preparation process that goes along with and hasn't started yet even though it should have. I have people asking about information already, usually we wait to send forms out until school is out for the summer but that is coming a lot more quickly than I'd like it. So, I get the joy of coming up with new forms, sending them out, sending everything new to our website guy and hoping he has time to update it, plus do grad school stuff and work both jobs. This is going to be a fun couple of months.
After original application forms are out we work up a mock schedule and I start a spreadsheet of the campers as their applications come back. Then we have our meeting where we decide the specifics about the schedule. Then my director partner and me - and my high school friend if she still wants to help out, not sure as I haven't talked to her in a while - assign kids to counselors and counselors to cabins, finalize the schedule on an official form we give the kids, plan a packing list and send it out to all the campers along with information for the parents. After all that joy is printing out nametags for all the lanyards - and cleaning all the lanyards before we put the new ones in which is just gross - and then we're about halfway done. Haha.
Then it's songbooks with Liz - my mentor for all things music and camp - and I get the pleasure of writing and assigning skits for grades 3-8th. Oh, and assigning teen helpers to cabins and other stations. The teen helpers are always an interesting bunch. Either they're super excited to be there so we put them in cabins or they just want to get away from their parents in which case we put them at a station we think they'll be good at. I cheat because I get first pick for skits and worship with me and Liz. We get the best ones - aka play guitar and put up with our antics.
So, all that, while worrying about budgeting, volunteers, oh and this year we're going to have to find new lifeguards as ours might not make it. They're lifers like me, but all good things must come to an end.
Like I said, fun couple of months. There will be a multitude of waving.
Songs for the day:
White and Nerdy - Weird Al
So yes, I am a fan. And yes, I do sing this at work.
...
Sorry...Victoria....I can't pimp this video enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkrbXvo5fVQ
Mike and Molly - Victoria steals every scene!
"Misery Business" Paramore
No she's not the brunette, hold out til the end. I was super confused. Think I'm still super confused.
But other than sleeping in - huzzah! - watching NCIS and Body of Proof, going to play practice, hanging with my family, then driving back here to my big fat cat there wasn't a lot going on today. Oh, I finished my book. Eh. I mean, it was good. But when I was done all I could think of was, "Well, that was super depressing." and "Why would you leave her journal there?" Tomorrow I have to find Book #2 and fast as I'm not sure how many pages it has. Gotta read it and write some sort of analysis question about the both of them.
Alright, out for the night. Hope you have a good week!

I'm Bennie, he's the Jets...
Today was excellent! Surprisingly...I think the Dog Days are over...I'd post the video for that song but it's just creepy. Like creepier than those morbid videos I posted a couple weeks ago. So I'll hit you with another celebration video instead.
Bennie and the Jets - 27 Dresses style
Hooray for Katherine Heigl and James Marsden!
Quotes of the day:
-"It was like Dr. Jekyl and Mrs. Hyde!" Favorite patron about his wife in labor
-"Well, I guess since they cloned that sheep anything's possible." Frasier
Tomorrow means split shift plus play practice. It should be fun. I'm out, totally exhausted.
And yes, I'm posting this again because I'm still laughing.

"And now, I own a boat!"
Think I'm going to bed early. Or attempt to go to bed, might turn on a comedy and fall asleep halfway thru that. I think I'm getting sick. Stress and frustration overload. It's like messing with my head. This isn't love. It's not even like. It's nausea-induced psychosis.
Quote of the day:
"All I remember are the boots."
-favorite patron, long story
Comedy clip section:
I love Castle.
I caught up on my Mike & Molly while at the farmhouse. I love the sister and the mother, they're fantastic. I don't think I know the sister from anything else, but she's fabulous at acting like an idiot.
Check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkrbXvo5fVQ
gotta watch through all the way to the end. hysterical.
"Totally uncool, yeah."
Here's some more comedy for you. Judson's awesome dancing.
"Inspirational comedian"???
And I'm out. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.
Any way the wind blows...

I'm still laughing about that bigfoot line. fantastic.

Well, at least the baby stopped crying...
So, I suck at this whole posting thing. I've been crazy busy which really isn't an excuse because I've made time to do other things.
In an attempt to make up for lost time I will come up with a list of the random events that have occurred throughout the week.
1. Had a conversation with coworkers about the fashion of troll dolls. Apparently their bold fashion statement of flamboyant hair and shirts that show off their big stomachs are making a comeback. That's what you get when you work downtown and see all the crazies. Thankfully they are wearing pants. Well, most of them.
2. Went to see Harry Potter 7 again, this time with Nic and Megan. Still awesome. And we ran into Becky so that was cool. We sat in the back and made sarcastic comments - mostly because people kept going up and down the stairs to the balcony and it constantly sounded like a stampede and because someone brought their baby. Why would you bring a baby to Harry Potter? It's loud and scary! Strange, right? Anyway, the kid cried a lot and the best line of the whole experience took place in the middle. Nicole and I were making faces about the stampede and Nic leans over and says, "well, at least the baby stopped crying." I died. I think that's one of those you have to be there moments, but it made my night.
3. Vicki and I have either been working too much lately or we just need to get more sleep. Every morning we've worked together we've both been completely out of it. I'm like a walking zombie and she almost falls asleep at the desk. She has declared us to be sleep-deprived space cadets. Today was fun though because she decided we should box up all the donations - both of us - so I commented that maybe between the two of us space cadets we could form one fully functional human being. That worked well.
4. Xmas program at church was Sunday. They decided to do it early this year because last year it almost didn't happen. With all the snow and power outtages - it was a mess. But this year's went well. My niece was the best. And I'm not saying that because of favoritism. She said her line loud and clear and not too fast. I was quite proud actually. Everyone else mumbled theirs. I remember that though, you're nervous cause everyone is staring at you. I looked everywhere but the crowd. This time I just got to sing in the choir. Dad gave me crap for never looking up from my music but it was the first time I'd sang it! I didn't practice with them, I just show up and sing since I can't make it to practices. It was easy enough. After that it was Pizza Hut for lunch then practice to sing at Heritage. We went gypsy caroling. We call it gypsy caroling because earlier in the year we had gone around Heritage singing camp songs on family day. One of our friends called us the gypsies. Liz became our "gypsy leader" and now that nickname is totally going to stick. I'll make it stick. Camp should be fun.
5. Along with being a sleep-deprived space cadet I am also very giggly at inappropriate times. It's bizarre. I was trying to tell a story to a coworker in the staff room and I couldn't get through it. I laughed so hard I started crying. It was bad. But the story was just funny, because I can still picture... okay, so this dude was on one of the internet computers and his phone rang. Meanwhile, we have this amazing older lady who comes in and volunteers at the smaller branch. She processes new materials and does the holds and yeah. She's awesome and hilarious. She was attempting to use the self-check and even though it hates me I was trying to help. (it's new and never accepts my barcode. evil.) We couldn't get it to work so we stood there for a while. Back to the guy, his phone rings, he answers, and the speaker is set on like high so you can hear everything the person on the line is saying. At first it's all hi, how are you. Then out of nowhere she's like "I have diahrrhea...bad!" And the volunteer turns to me and makes this face like she's like scandelized or something. I seriously died on the spot. That expression will come to mind every time I see her, I swear it's burned into my brain. So I tried to tell that story at work, and just like now when I was typing it out, it took me a couple tries to make all the way through it without collapsing on myself. Too funny.
6. Speaking of the smaller branch, we had our xmas party today. I brought the silverware and plates and stuff and I found these napkins that say, "what happens at the holiday party stays at the holiday party!" They were a big hit. We're sending one to our boss who was sick and couldn't make it. I love those people, they're too fun.
7. Another thing this sleep-deprived space cadet couldn't stop laughing at inappropriately was this line from Just Shoot Me. It's a Nina Van Horn specialty, she always had the best ones, but I died. I couldn't stop. It was endless, but I had to hold it in as I was up in the lab and it was like dead silent. I'm sure my coworker thought I was going nutso. Maybe I am nutso. Here's the short version, Nina and Maya went walking somewhere and Maya sees a guy juggling. Nina turns up at the office with a cast on her arm. When asked why she replies, "Little tip: never yell, 'Look, he's got six balls!' at someone who's about to step off a curb."
Today was not a serious day for me at all.
8. I actually got to watch Mike and Molly. Mom dvr'd a few, they are pretty funny. I'm glad, I like Melissa McCarthy, I hope it stays on. It had some good one-liners as well. "You're a closed book!"
"No, I'm not! I'm an open catalogue laying on the night stand!"
"I don't know what that means, I'm lost!"
or
"You wanted space, go sit on a missile!"
9. Another fun library moment - a coworker of mine is a true librarian. In like the truest sense. A patron returned a book - big picure of Lana Turner on the cover. She picks up the book and says, "look at this binding!" "Yeah, who's that on the cover?" "I don't know, I was just admiring the binding." I noticed. But I love this woman. She's great with the patrons and answered every one of my stupid questions during training.
10. Fun reference questions I've had lately - "what is the average salary of an roman emporer?"
"what is the opposite of pianissimo?"
"when does that green lantern movie come out?" He asked mainly because I was wearing a green lantern shirt. I wear fun shirts when I'm an aid.
11. Got to play video games with my niece and nephew - TMNT mostly. We love it - and while hitting robots with my big stick (i'm donatello...always. we have our usual characters. joe likes to fly so he's mikey. mandy likes red so she's rafael.) I frequented the response "yeah! stick that in your speedo jacuzzi bob!" thank you Big Bang Theory.
12. I got to catch up on The Closer - I'm about to watch the new one right now - and NCIS when I went home so that was nice. I liked serious Tony in this one. I thought he was pulling a prank, good ending, good ending.
13. Isn't it unlucky to end on 13? Oh well. I'm taking the chance. I'm off for the night to watch The Closer and Castle. Then more work tomorrow, hooray! I'm crazy. It's official.
ps- why is the bad guy from ncis and literally every other show he's in watching robots break through walls on the directv commercials? isn't he in jail? didn't they just lock him up?
In an attempt to make up for lost time I will come up with a list of the random events that have occurred throughout the week.
1. Had a conversation with coworkers about the fashion of troll dolls. Apparently their bold fashion statement of flamboyant hair and shirts that show off their big stomachs are making a comeback. That's what you get when you work downtown and see all the crazies. Thankfully they are wearing pants. Well, most of them.
2. Went to see Harry Potter 7 again, this time with Nic and Megan. Still awesome. And we ran into Becky so that was cool. We sat in the back and made sarcastic comments - mostly because people kept going up and down the stairs to the balcony and it constantly sounded like a stampede and because someone brought their baby. Why would you bring a baby to Harry Potter? It's loud and scary! Strange, right? Anyway, the kid cried a lot and the best line of the whole experience took place in the middle. Nicole and I were making faces about the stampede and Nic leans over and says, "well, at least the baby stopped crying." I died. I think that's one of those you have to be there moments, but it made my night.
3. Vicki and I have either been working too much lately or we just need to get more sleep. Every morning we've worked together we've both been completely out of it. I'm like a walking zombie and she almost falls asleep at the desk. She has declared us to be sleep-deprived space cadets. Today was fun though because she decided we should box up all the donations - both of us - so I commented that maybe between the two of us space cadets we could form one fully functional human being. That worked well.
4. Xmas program at church was Sunday. They decided to do it early this year because last year it almost didn't happen. With all the snow and power outtages - it was a mess. But this year's went well. My niece was the best. And I'm not saying that because of favoritism. She said her line loud and clear and not too fast. I was quite proud actually. Everyone else mumbled theirs. I remember that though, you're nervous cause everyone is staring at you. I looked everywhere but the crowd. This time I just got to sing in the choir. Dad gave me crap for never looking up from my music but it was the first time I'd sang it! I didn't practice with them, I just show up and sing since I can't make it to practices. It was easy enough. After that it was Pizza Hut for lunch then practice to sing at Heritage. We went gypsy caroling. We call it gypsy caroling because earlier in the year we had gone around Heritage singing camp songs on family day. One of our friends called us the gypsies. Liz became our "gypsy leader" and now that nickname is totally going to stick. I'll make it stick. Camp should be fun.
5. Along with being a sleep-deprived space cadet I am also very giggly at inappropriate times. It's bizarre. I was trying to tell a story to a coworker in the staff room and I couldn't get through it. I laughed so hard I started crying. It was bad. But the story was just funny, because I can still picture... okay, so this dude was on one of the internet computers and his phone rang. Meanwhile, we have this amazing older lady who comes in and volunteers at the smaller branch. She processes new materials and does the holds and yeah. She's awesome and hilarious. She was attempting to use the self-check and even though it hates me I was trying to help. (it's new and never accepts my barcode. evil.) We couldn't get it to work so we stood there for a while. Back to the guy, his phone rings, he answers, and the speaker is set on like high so you can hear everything the person on the line is saying. At first it's all hi, how are you. Then out of nowhere she's like "I have diahrrhea...bad!" And the volunteer turns to me and makes this face like she's like scandelized or something. I seriously died on the spot. That expression will come to mind every time I see her, I swear it's burned into my brain. So I tried to tell that story at work, and just like now when I was typing it out, it took me a couple tries to make all the way through it without collapsing on myself. Too funny.
6. Speaking of the smaller branch, we had our xmas party today. I brought the silverware and plates and stuff and I found these napkins that say, "what happens at the holiday party stays at the holiday party!" They were a big hit. We're sending one to our boss who was sick and couldn't make it. I love those people, they're too fun.
7. Another thing this sleep-deprived space cadet couldn't stop laughing at inappropriately was this line from Just Shoot Me. It's a Nina Van Horn specialty, she always had the best ones, but I died. I couldn't stop. It was endless, but I had to hold it in as I was up in the lab and it was like dead silent. I'm sure my coworker thought I was going nutso. Maybe I am nutso. Here's the short version, Nina and Maya went walking somewhere and Maya sees a guy juggling. Nina turns up at the office with a cast on her arm. When asked why she replies, "Little tip: never yell, 'Look, he's got six balls!' at someone who's about to step off a curb."
