and i'm crazy but you like it

Today was pretty much as dead as yesterday.

This whole storms and bad weather has thrown off our customer base.

I'm blaming the boyfriend cause it all started the day he left.

Luckily he gets back on Monday.

Which means I should attempt to get as much homework done this weekend as possible.

Speaking of homework, have a big assignment due Saturday at 10PM but am lacking the motivation.

Instead of researching - which I have started so I'm not completely blindsided - I watched Cashmere Mafia.

aka another series I was addicted in 2007 that didn't last longer than a season.

Here are a few of my favorite lines so far:

Zoe: "I mean she's like Business Barbie."

Mia: "Oh my god good or oh my god bad?"
Caitlyn: "Oh my god crap."

Juliet: "How do you take your coffee? My treat."
Cilla: "Light, no arsenic."

Mia's Mom: "and his mother says he's very handsome."
Mia: "Oh like that's not the kiss of death."
Mia's Mom: "and he wants to meet you for coffee at 5 today."
Mia: "what? MOM?!"

Caleb: "More powerful than ever, more beautiful than ever, an unstoppable ascension to the pinnacle of perfection."

Zoe: "Oh great, we're being summoned by a woman wearing a velour tracksuit."

Zoe: "The woman fed my children tofu while I watched."
Juliet: "She's a monster."

Mia: "You're a brain surgeon." *laughs*
Jason: "Is that funny?"
Mia: "No, it's great it's just that you don't really meet brain surgeons you know unless there's something scary inside your head. Other than the voice of your boss or your mother."
Jason: "Should I crack it open and take a look?"
Mia: "That's more of a second date thing for me."

*comparing scars*
Mia: "Bike messenger 23rd and Madison."
Jason: "Baby stroller 81st and Columbus."
Mia: "You got nailed by an upper west side stroller mommy?"
Jason: "Hey those women use their strollers as battering rams. Plowed right through me so she could get a Korean frozen yogurt."

Caitlyn: "and I have a thing on Saturday."
Zoe: "What do you mean a 'thing'?"
Juliet: "I get nervous when she says 'thing'."
Mia: "The last 'thing' ended with a slurred 3AM 'come and pick me up I don't know where I am' panic call."
Caitlyn: "it was an Italian restaurant in Nolita and I forgot what it was called."
Mia: "It was called Burritoville and it was in the meat-packing district but close."


and then my personal favorite:

Caitlyn: "My life is like a romantic comedy. Except it's never romantic. Or comedic. My life is nothing like a romantic comedy."

Just a few out of the many good ones. Interesting to see where these characters are now or have been in since. Even Juliet's daughter was in Zero Hour, I knew I knew her from something!


Anyway, it's cool. I'll have all of tomorrow night and then Saturday before I have to post it.

It's just gonna be like last time. I'll sit in the same spot for 4 hours and do it all at once. Gotten pretty good at that. For this class anyway.

Defiantly ready for a break.

So that and discussion boards tomorrow.

Plus you know real actual work.

What happened today at work?

Read more Silver Linings Playbook. Slowly working my way through, don't want it to end. Still listening to Warm Bodies.

Both awesome movies and excellent books.

That's all I remember. Nothing big. Spent a lot of time working with BossLady. Oh, trained a new volunteer who has actual library experience and wants to shelve Youth Services. Actually used the word "adore" as in I would "adore to" shelve Youth Services.

and that's all I got.

Just so tired lately, really need to sleep so here's this then I'm out.

I can hear Sketch's voice in my head. Put down the remote...

Loca - Shakira


love it. had to watch it just to see what she does at 2:08 cause she got so into that line when Monique sang it for blind audition.

here, watch 1:04


Monique Abbadie, pretty impressive. can't wait for her battle rounds, guessing she'll be paired off with like Cathia or Mary Miranda cause they had similar songs.

Order Raisin Bran on a date, move ahead 3 spaces.

It's crazy to see that one post on here has gotten over 2000 hits in 7 months.

Ridiculous.

Second highest is only 500-something.

Both movie-related, gotta love it.

So, spent the night relaxing and finishing up the newsletter for tomorrow's meeting with the Library Goddess.

Originally I was going to go see the boyfriend but he is sick.

Which means, I'm sure, that I soon will be sick.

Which sucks cause I just got done being sick.

I'm just hoping it's either before or after this weekend, cause I'm not missing the benefit on Saturday.

The relaxation was good. Finishing up watching the Winter X Games, yeah I know, I'm way behind. But I got distracted by library DVDs and The Voice.

But can you blame me, really?

Oh, those of you who aren't fans probably can, but whatever.

You don't know what you're missing.

Felt super accomplished and old today.

Bought supplies for the teen summer reading programs for our library - in charge of setting them up and leading them and all that.

Makes me feel as if I almost have some aspect of power.

But that'll be gone by tomorrow I'm sure.

Going over supplies has gotten me excited again for our programs. Library Golf sounds especially exciting, but I'm hoping the others get attendance too. We're decorating jars and making board games based on our favorite books.

I did it in college with Pride and Prejudice, but I rambled to you about that already.

I'm stoked.

Gonna have to pick a book of my own to make an example board.

"Silver Linings Playbook" is probably a bad idea.

"Go to mental institution. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200." 

Though I do like "Order Raisin Bran on a date, move ahead 3 spaces."

Women's Murder Club is also probably a bad idea.

Even though it is my favorite book series.

Oh, how about "He's Just Not That Into You".

That might make for a fun game.

But not one I'd want to play with teenagers.

Hmmm...I'll put it up for debate, what book do you think would make for a cool board game?

And don't say "Hunger Games".

I love it, but I already have pictures of that to show the kids.

Anyway, I have templates for them to use, but they'll create their own boards, game pieces, dice, currency, rules and all that.

Should be fun.

Carter is already konked out next to me.

I was close to that before I started posting.

Need to crash soon since I have early morning meeting with the Library Goddess before work tomorrow.

Working on our last newsletter, sad day.

Can't believe I'll already be done with GA stuff in May.

Which means I'll have to break down and buy my own iPad.

Ugh.

Haha, you know, I didn't think I would use one until they gave me one.

And now I want one.

Quite handy.

Alright, what else from today?

Um, did more training for the new chick.

Who got Slim Shady's job.

And has yet to be nicknamed.

She came over from one of the branches and now her job is open.

Until like Friday.

So we'll see how that goes.

She's cool so far but it's hard to live up to Slim Shady.

Aaannd that's all I really remember about today. Summer Reading supply stuff, training, more training, oh got Amigos for lunch, that was good. Um, finished Murder in Suburbia season one....ummm....oh the cops showed up when we were closing. Some dude called the cops from our courtesy phone. Not because of anything we did, don't worry. He just needed to be picked up before he did something stupid. Made for an interesting walk to the parking lot with the cops there.

Had to not jaywalk in front of them.

Cause that would have been bad.

Not quite as bad as getting pulled over in your sister's driveway with family right behind you, but still bad.

Alright, on to the music.
