Yes, I know I didn't post yesterday but I was all ranty and no one wants to read that.
Despite being all ranty the workday wasn't awful.
Spent the morning at the work branch and then the afternoon with Joe Studley at the home branch.
The other person on duty went home sick so they moved me over leaving only 4 people to cover the entire 4 floor building. And when I left 2 of those 4 were at lunch so...
That had to have been fun.
Joe and I had fun, but we always have fun.
After work I watched some Wipeout, did some more editing, and caught up with Sketch.
Today was much better, as you can tell I'm not all ranty so that's always a good sign.
Finally got to see the boyfriend after like a week. Our schedules have just not matched up. If he gets moved to second and it's like this on a regular basis I'm going to be ranty all the time.
We watched Dream House.
It was messed up, Scale of Awesome says 6/10.
I was entertained but confused about many things.
But it's okay, the movie was good for something as immediately following filming Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig got married.
Yes, she's officially a Bond Babe now.
After that got over we watched a little of Mr. and Mrs. Smith - which I love and I'm going to force him to watch the rest tomorrow if he's able to come up here. Again, I hate scheduling.
When did dating become about scheduling? It shouldn't come down to that, you know? Part of me wants to get married just so that it's easier on us.
Though the other part of me remains a girl about the whole thing, but it's his job to ask so I'm staying out of it.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, today, so I'm a nerd.
Which you knew.
And since it was slow today I took the opportunity to work on some booklists. This round's topics are:
-Spunky Old Men (gonna have to think of a better title for that one, but it goes along with my spunky old ladies booklist, you're smart what would you name it?)
-Banned and Challenged Nonfiction Titles (to go with Banned Books Week in September, everyone does fiction list but I'm up for the challenge)
and my personal favorite as suggested by the Old New Guy
-Million Dollar Crazies (you know like Million Dollar Baby except this is about crazy millionaires aka Donald Trump, Howard Hughes, Joan Rivers, etc.)
I'm having far too much fun looking for titles.
And that was my day.
Well, days.
On to the music and then I'm off to finish up my editing.
Song of the Day:
Fear - Stop Making Friends (acoustic)
i'm sorry but i find this highly entertaining:
though it helps to know what they're saying.
okay off to edit some more.
excited to have tomorrow off.

Choot 'em LizBet!
Wow. A day off. So this is what that feels like.
It was an awesome one, hung around the apartment, ate breakfast for lunch/dinner, watched a Harry Potter marathon. Carter and I jammed out and napped on the couch. Plus I did some writing. I've started on a new story and am thinking about linking it to one of my old ones that I'm stuck on.
Basically, the idea is to write a group of short stories or one long story about an apartment building. Not like the physical building but the people who live in it. Like one story will be about one apartment and the next will be about their neighbors and just move on and then somehow bring them together in the end. Maybe it'll be crap but it's just an idea. And I'm blaming it on Superwoman since the idea originated from all the "Exotic Dancers next door" jokes from when we went to see our friend's band play at a bar.
Go here for my favorite of their songs: My Life in Closed Captions: Can I Keep You - Some Assembly Required plus a list of a bunch of library goddess quotes. Ha!
Anyway, there were exotic dancers in the bar next door so we made jokes and it just makes me wonder about my neighbors. Maybe I do have exotic dancers next door. Cause really, what do you really know about your neighbors? I've talked to maybe one of them. And I've been here over a year.
I'm still debating if I want to link it to my old story. I mean, I could, cause they live in an apartment and it's a story all about them. So I could start on one about their neighbors. Maybe. I don't know. But it's kind of cool mapping out an apartment and deciding who lives in the building and what might be going on in their lives. Or maybe it'll be dumb. I'll keep you posted. I still have no idea how I'll bring them all together in the end. Maybe I'll burn the place down. No, that'd just be mean.
I'm watching Swamp People with Dad. It's sad, I'm hooked. What's more sad?...I've seen all the episodes on the DVR. Now I'm re-watching them. It's just so like just whoa. You know? Like, I could never do that. Ever. And I know that the show is ridiculous, but I still can't help but stare.
Music of the day:
when all else fails do the time warp again.
Glee does the Time Warp from Rocky Horror
and Damnit Janet
quits halfway thru but is still hysterical.
love the three in the background, almost as good as the original. janet....janet....janet....awesome.
Alright, gonna hit the sack soon since tomorrow's gonna be camp central. Forms, assignments, t-shirts and possibly cleaning out the trailer.

It's just a jump to the left...
And a step to the riiiiiiiiight.
Split shift + play practice + listening to Carrie Fisher's autobiography = a full day.
Quotes of the day:
-"I just have basically too much personality for one person but not enough for two."
"Wishful Drinking" is the title of her autobiography, it's fantastic. I listened to the audio version which she reads and I totally recommend.
-"Ultimately, who's gonna give a medal to someone with a big stupid red dot in their eye? I don't care how much force is with him."
Her on Mark Hamill's bursted blood vessel in the final scene of SW4.
Play practice was kind of a mess. We have a new girl which means Hooray! I don't have to learn lines anymore! But I still have to write a song and work on that commercial. Or maybe they'll want to write their own commercial. That might be fun for them. But we are super late with everything. We don't have blocking, they're still in their books, we're still skipping half the songs and yeah, we have less than a month until performance. May 12th. So that's what like 3 weeks and change. Yikes.
Carrie Fisher roasts George Lucas
She includes parts of this in her autobiography. It was funny cause I was kind of quoting it along with her - yes I posted this during favorites week get over it. It's fantastic.
Now I'm starving. Don't think I've eaten anything today so I should probably work on that before I konk out. Early day tomorrow with training and all that.
"Because there was no underwear in space!"

This is a week of my favorite things Day Seven
Okay, right now, gotta say I'm loving Anne Hathaway. "You are the Wolve to my Rine." Not that I didn't already love her, she's actually kind of awesome. I already rambled about Get Smart on favorites day whatever...two? yeah, day two. Plus, James Franco in a dress? That was niiiice... BTW - loved their musical version of Harry Potter totally gonna find that on youtube later.
As you've probably guessed, yes I am watching the Oscars which is another one of my favorite things. I'm kind of an Awards Junkie so it's cool for Day 7 to fall on tonight. Not like I planned it that way, I'm not that smart.
And wow, day 7. I think I've gotten more hits this week than any other so that's big. There's people overseas reading about my obsessions. Madness. Sadly I'm glad it's day 7 because I have no idea what other topics I could cover. Fashion trends? I was big into tearaways for years. lots of tearaways and backwards hats. then dyed hair, which is still around. Catchphrases? there's too many of those. I could go all "Inside the Actor's Studio" on you and talk about my favorite swear word. Which I won't. Although I have been saying "Janet" a lot as I think it has artistic integrity. Hooray for Rocky Horror. I tried "oh pigeons" Mark, really I did. But I just can't pull it off like you.
As I'm running out of favorites, and time I'm just gonna throw some random ones out.
Number - 3
Food - Fajitas or Pizza
Color - Red
Nickname - CK or Red
Sport to play - Basketball
Sport to watch - Husker Football/Roller Derby cause yes it's a sport, especially if you're there live
Reality Show - Wipeout
College class - any English class really but mostly Fiction Writing just because the assignments were something I was doing anyway and my classmates and prof were hilarious. "The Gospel of Meaghan" anyone?
Oscar presenters tonight - Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law cause they're fantastic and Sherlock 2 comes out around Xmas! (add RDJ to my fave actors list btw)
Thing about Lincoln - things are open past 8, who knew?!
Afternoon activity - napping. or watching a movie. or napping while watching a movie.
Celebrity making a comeback - Gwyneth Paltrow, fave Glee ep this season (aside from Rocky Horror) was the Substitute so I'm stoked for her coming back and Anne Hathaway is joining the cast as well, woohoo!
Celebrity I wasn't a fan of at first but now I'm growing to love - Dana Delaney, did you see her in Castle? "What part of un-ass do you not understand?" stoked for her new series. yet another female ME I'm going to love. Claire WMC...Maura R&I...the ME from the Closer is kinda girly with his long hair, does he count? I do enjoy him. haha.
Quote - F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy." that I carry around in my back pocket cause I'm a nerd. That's followed closely by "Gazelle Swagger" which is a ZH original and more of a long story.
Icecream flavor - Mint chip...or sherbet but that's yogurt so it doesn't count
Cartoon growing up - Scooby Doo. or Garfield. I was also really big into That's So Raven. "Dancin' Iguana, Dancin' Iguana!" "Good evening good sir knight and...ugly hag?!"
Movie nominated for Best picture this year - King's Speech totally deserved all 12 noms but 4 wins will do.
Ipod app - Angry Birds. I'm hooked man.
Foreign language total jam out song - is a tie between "Dragostea Din Tei" aka the Numa Numa song or "Boten Anna" by Basshunter. Both are frequents on my ipod. I encourage you to check them both out. Fantastic. Actually Basshunter came out with an English version of BA called "Now You're Gone" but it's not as good.
okay i'm running out of things that aren't movies, music, tv, hobbies, books or whatever day six was, youtube. that's right. And yes some of the above are from those categories but what else am I gonna ramble about really?
And this is all starting to sound like a rambling oscar speech so I'm gonna stop before you all change the channel.
Quote of the day - "I have to be first!" said by The Hulk. but he wasn't green. he was just really really strong. and a bit scary. another long story. but still hilarious.
"It's not a secret. Why do you keep it? I'm just sitting on the shelf."
And ha! found it!
okay, second posting since first one is gone. this is different though, adding in The King's Speech but taking out The Social Network.
harry potter is definitely the best.
here's the original reversely screened which means it'll probably be gone in a few days.

Let's do the Time Warp again....
Time: 9:15 PM
Location: Couch
Music: Hey Soul Sister - Glee cast version
Attitude: Tired, yes that's an attitude.
Slept in, went to work, shelved books, came home, watched NCIS on USA - hooray for the season one marathon, I love Kate - went to nephew's basketball game, got updated on who was winning the SAG awards while at the game, came home from the game and watched the rest of the SAG awards and now am sitting on the couch staring at my computer screen. I'm exhausted. My nephew is actually quite good btw, very aggressive under the hoop, he made me proud. I hope I get to go to the games at my high school, every year they do a tournament with all the grade schools. I remember playing in those, oh man, and it seemed so much more fast paced at the time. But now just watching it's like, was it really like this when we played? Maybe it was and I'm just building it up in my mind.
The SAG awards were awesome, as always. I'm kind of an awards junkie when it comes to movies and music. I keep up with the nominations and the red carpet stuff, yeah I'm a nerd. But I'm very happy that Natalie Portman won for best actress and Colin Firth for best actor and then that the King's Speech won for best ensemble. That was very exciting, Colin's speech was funny. The speeches usually take so long, some people ramble longer than I do and I secretly want the music to start playing so that they'll go away but his was great.
I'm sad that Glee didn't win tonight but I mean, it's hard to beat Betty White in any category really. So, in their honor, I'll hit you with one of my favorite songs at the moment. They did this Rocky Horror episode in the first part of the second season (now out on DVD btw) which is probably the most well-known episode of the show. It was fantastic, and the music was fantastic. And it came out right before Halloween so Grandma (25-year-old coworker) and I went to go see the real Rocky Horror in a theater for Halloween and I think it scarred her for life. Haha, but it was hilarious because they're yelling out commentary, throwing toast, spraying water guns, so basically if you haven't already seen the movie you have no idea what's going on because you can't hear what they're actually saying. Since the movie really doesn't have much of a plotline anyway that makes things even harder to follow. Luckily I had already seen it so I kind of went with the flow. And I'm thinking about going again next year. It was just too funny. So, in honor of Glee and Rocky Horror I'll hit you with my music rec of the Glee version of Rocky Horror's probably best and most popular song the "Time Warp". Enjoy.

And you're the only one...who...MEOW!
So, after spending hours alone with my cat in a car I realized a few things. One, that drive was a lot longer than I remember it, and two, my cat hates the following musical artists: Michael Buble, Elton John, Outkast, Billy Joel, The Midnight Beast and virtually every song from the Rocky Horror soundtrack. But, he loves the Glee soundtrack. Like, he meowed constantly and loudly for everything but Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson. I was shocked.
Today was a good day. I ate good food, I watched the Huskers beat Colorado (big twelve championship here we come!), I saw my aunt and uncle, I attempted to sign up for grad school classes but failed - something is wrong with my account - annnnd.... I got my new car! Hooray! It's red and shiny. But now I'm paranoid because I have to work downtown and that's not the safest area. So time will tell, I guess. I'll just have to get used to it. But I'm super excited because, since this is Nebraska and it is freezing now, it has this remote start feature so I can turn it on from my apartment and it will be warm by the time I get there. Hooray!
I was sad though, because I had to clean out my old car cause they're selling it to a friend. It was a good car. I've driven it since high school. I liked it. It wasn't new, but it was my car! Maggie... now I have to name the new one. I'll need some time to think about that.
Right now I'm watching Alias season one. I suck at this whole watching library dvd's because I get distracted with my own. Oh well, I'll finish Dr. Who next week.
Hope you all had a happy holiday.
