Baby you couldn't find the button with both hands and a map.

So we watched The Call tonight.

Now the nightmares have gone from creepy old ladies with syringes to being scalped alive by a crazy med technician.

Oh yeah, spoiler alert.



The creepy old lady was from an Agatha Christie movie that Oldest Sister and I watched and became an ongoing joke.

This movie was intense. We kept trying to guess the ending but it had lots of twists and turns. Abigail Breslin and Halle Berry kicked ass though.

So creepy had to follow it up with a comedy.

My favorite of miss Angelina Jolie's movies - Mr. and Mrs. Smith.



Followed closely by Tomb Raider.

sorry, just saw this commercial and holy crap!



i want that job.

other than that today was boring.

i did run up and down the stairs quite often.

aside from the fact that my apartment is filled with smoke cause i burned popcorn really bad.

so i'm out on my deck posting this cause you can't breathe in there.

though it's time to face the music, my neighbors are probably like, what the hell?

more She and Him in honor of She and Him week.

Keystar - Munchausen By Proxy


okay technically that wasn't She and Him but it was Zooey.

and then you'll want the love you threw away before...

I'm tired of filling a tire that was supposedly fine a month ago!!

Broken it is.

Full of crap mechanic is.

Play nice or I go Yoda on your ass.

It gets really old really fast.

So, my week has been suckish.

Which you know already.

But today wasn't so bad.

Was almost incident free and I got to see the boyfriend.

But that's part of why the week is suckish, he's busy and I'm exhausted and freaking out about stupid stuff that's going to my head.

But apparently I'm a better actress than I thought cause I play it off fine.

IN FACT Bosslady actually used the words "chipper" and "perky" to describe me. Then she called me a cheerleader and I laughed in her face.

Then called Sketch who laughed in mine.

Cause if you know me know me, you know that I am none of those things.

It was my brother who brought it to my attention in the first place when I got two jobs at once with no experience.

"You must be a good actress."

But that's me. Be the person they want me to be, keep my head down and I'll be fine.

Not that there's anything wrong with cheerleaders, I may be marrying into a family filled with them sometime within the next 10 years.

I'm giving him 10 though with the rules of inflation he may only have 5 and some change.

Oldest Sister got married at 21.

Brother got married at 24.

Second Sister got married at 27.

With inflation that gives me until 30, right?

We'll see about that.

I mean, it's not as if I'm going anywhere so I'm fine with waiting, but there is such a thing as waiting too long.

Anyway, we watched Moonshiners.

My dad would be so proud.

And then some Die Hard.

Stoked for the new one!! He was making fun of it, saying they'd still be making Die Hard's when Bruce is old and in a wheelchair.

But I don't care cause they are all awesome. And now I'm tempted to watch the first one from the start. Do a marathon over the holiday weekend.

I'm off Monday and Tuesday!!

Technically we're only closed Monday but since I worked the weekend and did the party on Friday I'm taking my 2 days off and getting the heck out of dodge. Think gonna go crash at the farmhouse for a few days.

Gotta get out of here, clear my head and all that crap.

Ha! Sketch.

I didn't realize how often I used the phrase "and all that crap" until Sketch and I had this epiphany that if people overheard our conversations and how we ended them they'd think that we have no emotions whatsoever cause it's always "well i love you and all that crap. okay bye." or something to that effect.

But it's just our thing.

The thing and the thing.

She gets it.

I get it.

Like I said, not so chipper, perky, cheerleader, whatever on the inside.

Just on the outside at work.

Which I can do.

It's basically a job requirement.

Or as one of my grad school classmates put it, "Just don't be an asshole. That's my mission statement."

On to the music:

Keystar - Munchausen By Proxy

2:16 is still the best.

wish they made a complete album. granted half the soundtrack is theirs but still, they rock.

i need more keytar.

Final live appearance together

One Fine Day - The Chiffons

not bad for 49 years later.

i've watched that movie and listened to that soundtrack far too often but it popped up on shuffle on the ride back and i totally jammed out. almost missing the cop sitting in the middle of the road.

good thing i don't speed on the way back.

i go back and forth on which version is my favorite, but it's usually this one

One Fine Day - Natalie Merchant

pretty sure i posted this one back during Merchantfest but you're getting it again anyway.

I'm the star of the keytar.

Apparently I need a social life. That's what I was told today. But I work in public service. What is more social than that really? By the time I get home I don't want to be social anymore! I'm exhausted and all I want to do is turn on a movie and crash. Apparently that's abnormal. Must be another quirk. Like having the urge to talk back to someone who has an accent in that accent. Or mis-matching my socks as my one workplace rebellion. Or wearing 8 rings, 3 necklaces and a giant watch. Or carrying around the same piece of concrete in my pocket for 2 years. Random lucky charm, I'm aware, moving on. All of these things are abnormal, but they're me.
And I have friends, but that's not the social life he was referring to. I don't have time to date! I have books to shelve, classes to study for, a camp to direct, skits to write, forms and schedules to reconfigure, a play to direct. Plus, this whole dating thing... you know, when someone flies 2000 miles just to break up with you, it gives you a whole new perspective on relationships. And the last relationship I was in...let's not even go there. I don't have time for the drama. And I'm fine with that. If he's not then that's his problem.

What else is new, oh Koha is officially up and running. After shelf-reading and organizing carts all day it finally started working my last hour. Hooray! Tomorrow I will have carts and carts to shelve. I'm excited. Wow, I really do need a life outside of work. But when you've been sitting around doing like nothing for the past week because there's been nothing to shelve this is big news. Something to do! And I get to go to both libraries tomorrow instead of just the one like I've been doing since Monday.


Music recs for the night are pure awesomeness.
Okay, so if you haven't seen Yes Man you have no idea who this band is. Munchausen by Proxy is a fantastic combination of Zooey Deschanel and Von Iva's musical stylings with awesome lyrics and fantastic costumes.

Here are a couple of their videos and link to a third if you're interested.

"Yes Man"

badass birds man.

"Keystar"

i especially enjoy 2:16.

"Uh-Huh"

which is pretty much my thoughts on dating right now.

Also, the movie is pretty funny as well. Jim Carrey is always fun to watch, and they come to Nebraska! Well, they filmed it in LA but they watch a Huskers game - nevermind that we got womped by Oklahoma and it was back in the Callahan era. It was funny, when we saw it in theaters everyone booed when they saw him.

As for homework I got almost halfway through my first book this afternoon - now just have to finish that one and locate/read the second one. Which I think is longer. But it should be interesting. I'll give you my thoughts on them later.

Oh, speaking of the Scale of Awesome - Black Swan 8/10. Creepyfest man. Natalie Portman was brilliant, as always, but dude, there was some weird creepy stuff in there. Loved watching the behind the scenes stuff listening to Mila, too funny.

Okay, gonna make food, turn on the tv and then crash. you gonna judge me too?
