Post #998

Ridiculous, I'm aware.

So Bruce Lee was in Nebraska today.

Sorry, Lee Brice.

Whoever that is.

I keep calling him Bruce Lee cause it's easier to remember.

Plus it makes Sketch mad cause she's a fan.

There was this big secret concert in Milligan cause it's halfway between LA and NY. It's part of Pepsi's halftime series. Anyway it was a big secret as to who was gonna perform, there were rumors of Bruno Mars, Keith Urban, and then someone thought they saw Faith Hill in G-Town so everyone thought it was her or Tim McGraw and then it's Bruce Lee.

Sorry, Lee Brice.

Who the crap is Lee Brice?

Anyway, it helped us decide whether we were going or not.

Country twang, that we don't know, in 15 degree whether...yeah no.

Sorry if you're a fan.

And yes I am a country girl and grew up on country music, but the country music that I grew up on was so much different than what plays nowadays.

I'm a fan of 80's-90's country, but not so much of today's.

But that's okay, the people that did go seemed pretty excited about it.

And I was just happy to be inside in the warm.

Today actually was pretty good.

Slept in - 'til like 10 - made waffles with my new wafflemaker - they were awesome - watched NCIS marathon - well, like 2 episodes, I didn't realize Grimm's royal captain was part of Paula Cassidy's team, yay Sasha Roiz - did movie night with the teens - we watched the Hobbit part 1, well half of us did - then date night with the boyfriend - Grudge Match.

The Hobbit was interesting. They're teens so of course they don't actually watch the movie at a movie night, actually half of them did while the other half sat in the corner and screamed every time someone came up accidentally in the elevator.

Though it was usually just the security guard.

The corner group was fine, except they're the ones that wanted to watch the Hobbit, while the rest of us were for Princess Bride and got out-voted.

We should have switched it out and see if they noticed.

After movie night I went out to see the boyfriend. We saw Grudge Match.



It was...alright. Scale of Awesome says 6/10.

My problem is that I love De Niro but hate Stallone and in the movie De Niro is a jerk and Stallone is the nice guy you're supposed to root for so I couldn't get into it.

After that we went out for supper, watched part of Star Wars 5, then he went to work and I came back to my big fat cat.

En route I talked to Sketch, hence the Bruce Lee frustration.

And that was my day.

I'm hoping tomorrow is good as well, though apparently this whole week is gonna be freezing cold. Ugh.

On to the music: More of my favorites from 2013.

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons


mostly love Will Champlin's version of this, but the original is good too.

Just Give Me a Reason - Pink ft. Nate Ruess


love them.

out.

I feel it in my bones, enough to make my systems blow.

Last day of my internship.

No more half and half days.

Went in with a pen and marker in my pocket - some patients aren't allowed to use pens but they can use markers - notebooks under my arm, and chocolates for Mr. BossMan Tom.

The good ones. If you haven't had Baker's chocolates made in Nebraska you are missing out on life.

He got me a gift too. A copy of Leaves of Gold with a Catching Fire bookmark.

Now I have fancy quotes to use in my blog like...

Poor indeed is the man whose mind is not enriched by some phrase of lasting truth and beauty which serves to restore his soul in the exigencies of life. 

Take that!

No, I love it, it's got fancy binding and everything.

Yes, that's my librarian jargon. Fancy binding.

One of my favorite library memories is actually about binding - my coworker was looking at the cover of this giant Lana Turner book. So me - trying to make conversation - was like, "hey, is that Lana Turner?" and she was like - "oh, I didn't even notice I was just admiring the binding." Giant - like giant - picture of her face on the cover and like 3 minutes of staring at the book.

We're nerds, have I mentioned that already?

Anyway, after practicum I came home and wrote up my monthly report, submitted it, updated the spreadsheet and then sent everything to Mr. BossMan Tom. So I'm officially done with practicum.

Final Count-Up 90:20/90.

I'm sad it's done. And just when we were making progress with our internet policies. Will have to stop by and check in every once in a while. Gonna miss it.

Back to 9-6 every day.

Which used to be exciting.

Gonna have to reinvent my 9-6.

Actually started that today as I shifted and weeded the entire Young Adult collection.

Took me 3 hours to shift everything - I started weeding it last week but finished this morning - but now there's more space cause I talked Superwoman into giving me another unit, and I also added a nonfiction section cause before it was just thrown in with the fiction and if you weren't looking specifically for it you wouldn't even know it was there.

We'll see how long it lasts.

So that was my day. Good but sad. Glad we're closed Thursday and Friday. Gives me some time to finish up my final homework assignment EVER and set up the Christmas trees.

Or at least get started, we'll see.

Song of the Day:

Radioactive - Pentatonix feat. Lindsey Stirling


awesome cover. i posted an xmas video of these guys last year, they're crazy good.

the song's been stuck in my head all day. am i the only one that thought the words were "ready to rock you"? i mean, i figured it out after they sang it twice on the voice but on the radio that's what it sounds like.



welcome to the new age, to the new age.
