Balls to you sir, balls to you sir, up and down the court.

Guess what I found AGAIN this morning at work!

A freakin' bat.

Flippin' winged creatures at the library - I'm on a roll.

I feel like Neville, "why is it always me?"

For those of you who don't already know go here: "Bats are Cute-ish" "Bats have rabies" "That's why I said ish"

or Here: "Freakin' Birds"

Anyway, so I'm doing the expired/cancelled holds list and I look up and see this big black thing on the ceiling. Of course my kneejerk reaction was to run screaming in the other direction.

My farmgirl background failed me, not for the first time.

When I couldn't find Superwoman I ran (actually ran) to the basement to get Girlscout and Cabin Fever was like "you do realize what shirt you're wearing, right?"

I look down and it's a Batman t-shirt.

So apparently this is all my fault.

I ran into my Trainee on the street after it happened and she said that tomorrow I should wear a t-shirt with a bag of money on it.

Good plan, but it would probably just end up as "found money" and go to the cash register.

Anyway, here's the pic that's went viral around the workplace.

Photo: Sure, it's all well and good to wear your Batman shirt to work but when there's a real bat in the library you're all like, "Eek, what do I do?"

The whole time I'm attempting not to flee just in case it would detach and fly at my head.

I have a feeling I won't be living that down anytime soon.

But whatever.

I await all the upcoming pranks...

So, I've decided that fall is my favorite season.

The weather cools down.

Football starts.

Hockey starts.

The good TV shows come back - except Major Crimes, that goes away for a few months.

I know it isn't technically fall yet, but I consider it to be fall because school is back in session.

Which is another reason why I like the fall - I no longer have to worry about school being back in session cause I'm done.

Got my Master's, I've earned some time off.

As much as I love the Blacklist, the Voice, Castle and all that I'm mostly excited for the football and hockey. Huskers are gonna rock it - even though our quarterback is only a Sophomore I have faith. We've got Bell, Abdullah, and Gregory - we'll be fine.

And as for hockey, it's gonna be interesting because we have a new manager, a new coach, and a completely different team (with the exception of a few who made it from last year) so it'll be exciting to see the changes. Which were needed cause last year was not our best year by far.

We went for full season tickets this year, and I'm stoked cause pre-season is coming up in September. However, the boyfriend will be gone so I'll have to take someone else. Hmmm....whom to choose. Queen of the Known Universe has no interest. It's Oldest Sister's birthday so she'd have other plans. Perhaps I'll ask Smo. Or Queen of Awesome. Or P-Squared. Will have to look into that.

What else?

Okay, now that camp season is officially over I can finally post this. This is the M rated version of the 7th and 8th graders skit from this year. If you want the G rated version that they did scroll down a post.

Watch it, it will make you laugh I promise. Even if it is wildly inappropriate. I did say M rated. 



Again, M Rated and they did the G version. There are many versions on Youtube but this crew is my favorite.

This one from the 90's comes in second:


Wow that's a lot faster.

The flag man is my favorite.

Though the tennis player in this one is pretty good too...

By the way, the end ballerina is usually either the captain or cruise director.

You have no idea how many times I've watched those videos and continually repeat the phrases as I walk through the library. It just brightens my day.

Though "balls to you" is frequently whispered under my breath if something bad happens.

In other news we went to World of Outlaws again this year. Donny Schatz won so balls to that. He wins everything so no one likes him.

With the exception of the like 4 people in the immediate row in front of us.

Though we spent most of our time down in the pits. It's cool cause you get to talk to all the drivers and of course the boyfriend knows all their names and all about their cars and all that. Cause he's smart like that. But his favorite driver was there so he got a couple new shirts. He and his wife have these southern accents, it's awesome.

I would have gotten shirts but I like my yellow crew shirt. Even though it means commentators will talk about it over the microphone.

I did mention that already right? We were at the races and I was talking to my friend so I wasn't paying attention when suddenly the boyfriend leans over and goes "they're talking about your shirt." I was like what? Then listened and heard "she's ignoring us..." So I turned around and they were like "heeyyyyyyy!"

Then they kept offering me money for my shirt. Which I rejected. And just when I thought it was done they brought it up again later.

Oh the joys.

But it's my fault cause it is an awesome shirt.

And bright yellow so it's hard to miss.

And speaking of all things awesome, I hit up a Saltdogs game and got paid for it!

Hey, it was for work, don't give me that look.

The game itself was a part of Summer Reading - if you completed the program you got a ticket for that one and the kids who wanted to could participate in a parade beforehand.

Which a coworker and I got forced into marshalling.

She needs a nickname, especially now that she's transferring to our branch. And I will be flailing to her frequently because that's what I did to her predecessor. She was in charge of supplies for the system and I am for our branch. Hmm...Will have to work on a nickname. Ideas?

What else? Oh yeah, got some Scale of Awesome's for you.

Guardians of the Galaxy


Scale of Awesome says 8/10. This one was actually pretty enjoyable, the boyfriend and I laughed a lot, especially about the Kevin Bacon stuff. And I'm looking into buying the soundtrack, it was pretty awesome as well.

Dish Nation


Okay so this is actually a TV series, not a movie but I'm including it because it's new to me and I like it. Basically it's a bunch of different entertainment radio morning shows that are filmed and it's hilarious. My favorite is the Rickey Smiley Morning Show out of Atlanta. It consists of Rickey Smiley, Headkrack, Rock-T and Porsha Williams. A close second is the Heidi and Frank Show or the Kidd Kraddick Show, those are both good. I don't like Seattle's which is Brooke and Jubal in the Morning but it rotates in every other week.



There, those are my three favorites. (order shown Kidd, H/F, and Rickey)

I know you don't care, but I do.

Anyway, you know how I am about media and entertainment news and all that so this is like the fun and entertaining way to keep up on my stuff. You should check it out, it's wildly entertaining.


Alright, on to the music:

Shake It Off - Taylor Swift


too catchy for its own good, it's been out like 2 days and i already bought it...i love her. i know most people don't but i really do.

All About That Bass - Meghan Trainor


which is fantastic!

and guess who just covered that one...

Home Free!!


i love those guys, but i've already rambled about them enough.

final one of the night is...

Bang Bang - Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Jessie J


no official video for that one yet but it's still early on. and all three are huge so i'm sure it will be awesome.


And that's all I got. Wow, that was long. Should probably post more often, huh?

Up next in life is Roller Derby, TAB and (if it gets approved) a crap-ton of programming aimed at patrons aged 18-29. But we'll see about that last one. IF it does get approved, and that's a big IF, I'm gonna need some serious feedback.

Alright, have a rock star week.

Tuesday, August 21, 2012

but you don't worry, you don't worry, cause you got soul.

"I'm not gonna stop praying for rain because your feet are gonna get wet."

So, I have this thing about routines.

Go to the same place for lunch, usually order the same thing, wear the same style of clothes - own the same shirt in like 8 colors, wear the same shoes until they're totally busted.

My previous shoes were blue and comfortable, but I stepped on the back to take them off - I don't untie them intentionally though they tend to untie themselves during the day - and the back ripped open and eventually ripped the sides.

So I bought the same shoes, different color.

Now it's backward, sides are ripped and headed to the back.

It would be a problem except there's been no rain, just heat, heat, and more heat.

BossLady says duct tape.

Think I'll keep them 'til they split more and then transfer to my red ones. Which I actually wear frequently as well but I figure I'll wear these until they burst and then make those permanent.

Today was interesting, Mom showed up freaked because they stole her eagle.

Basically there used to be this gianormous eagle on the building across the street but then the bank it was attached to got a new location and it took it with them even though it had nothing to do with the bank in the first place.

Anyway, with all the one way streets it's a little hard to find the building so you gotta use your landmarks. Since they took that away I guess she'll finally have to learn the real address.

She brought me a dress.

Again.

I'm starting to take the hint, though I did tell Tweet I'd wear a dress to his wedding. After he asked. But then again the boyfriend is in it so I have to be semi-dressed up.

What else from today?

Oh yeah, I'm building a website for my teens. Figured it'd be a cool way to communicate with TAB kids and those interested. Got some slideshows, calendar, forms and all that - work in progress and of course I gotta get it cleared before it's published. Kinda fun actually. Not that I'm not already swamped and all that, but it's been a fairly slow week. Only thing I'm behind on at work is the booklist and that doesn't have a due date. Besides, just some formatting left.

Same with the editing, halfway thru my second readthru then I can send it back and work some more on the other. After that it's school central. Got my first classes this weekend.

Was a good night, hit up a saltdogs game with oldest sister. We got hosed, unfortunately, but it was still fun. We have this thing about obnoxious fans though, like the ones that yell. I kind of just want to turn around and say, "go out there and show us how you'd do it better" but I'm doubting they would. We wonder if they used to play so they think they know something but were never good enough to do anything about it.

Cause those are the worst ones.


Alright, I'm off.

Song of the night:

"Soul" - Matchbox 20

love it. 






Sunday, August 12, 2012

she walks like she talks and she talks like she walks...

Short day today at work, went in at 11:35, had a lunch break somewhere around 2, got done at 6:05.

Super slow today, mostly cause there was no parking due to a very loud and crowded event on the street directly outside the library.

Queen of the Known Universe was not amused.

Even though the crowd was slow the day actually moved by fairly quickly.

And I got to work with some of my favorite people, Slim Shady, Queen of the Known Universe, Girlscout, Mentor - there's usually just five of us on Sundays, though today it got cut down to 4 at around 3 since Mentor headed out for the Summer Reading event at the Saltdogs game.

At least it was nice weather for them, I was worried it was going to rain.

So yes, my day was fine and normal and then I check my phone and read that Grams is in the ER cause she fell twice.

So I called all frantic and the Cool Aunt and Mom and Grams are sitting around laughing it up attempting to distract her with funny relative stories. Apparently no injuries, just a walker for the prescription which...okay Grams is a tough woman and a bit stubborn so when I heard that I laughed because I knew that she would be ticked.

Like seriously ticked.

"He's gonna get it back in his face" ticked.

Sorry, favorite quote of hers though I'm pretty sure Mom was mortified when she yelled it at the de-suited Santa.

Go here: She deserved the truck and a load to go with it.

Hey, the woman hates spinach.

Lay off.

Anyway, so I stopped by after work.

The beauty of Alzheimer's - notice it's just "the" as there's really only one - is that she also forgets the bad stuff so by that time she was over the whole ER waiting for the doctor to sign off thing.

Mom said that I needed to talk up the walker so I commented on it's red-and-shiny-ness.

She was less than enthused about it.

And attempted to pawn it off on me as I left, but that's a longer story.

We decided today at work that I'm screwed.

On one side I've got Alzheimer's and the other I've got dementia.

So basically I'll be seeing horses in the chicken coop but forgetting about them a few minutes later.

Hopefully I've got some time before that takes over.

My brother, on the other hand, just turned the big 4-0.

It's birthday season in our family, there's 3 in August and 2 in September. To celebrate the August birthdays we - my siblings and I - hit up a Saltdogs game. The boys prefer it to be dollar hotdog night - one year my brother got 4 hotdogs and ate 2 of them by the time he got back to the chair.

But that's always fun, pretty sure you've got 2 entries on here alone talking about our exploits - "love mom" - and then one on Oldest Sister's blog as well.

Alright, emotional rollercoaster of a day and seriously, I'm on a roll because I don't go in until 4 tomorrow so there's been a lot of actual sleep lately which rocks cause I feel like I'm finally getting over the madness that was camp.

Clip of the day:

cause i find it amusing, especially the bus driver dance at the end.



love the background music. that's niiice.


Tuesday, June 19, 2012

so we're coming out of the kitchen cause there's something we forgot to say to you...

I find myself watching the Arizona vs. FSU game over and over because I keep falling asleep and I want to watch the extra innings. I mean, I know who wins, but I still want to watch the extra innings.

Actually a pretty good day, taught one of the interns how to do expired/cancelled holds, checked in a whole cart of new stuff, helped out at the Summer Reading Event with the Saltdogs, got my picture taken with the mascot after my camera phone backfired on me like twice, found some books for an outreach event with one of my TAB kids, did some supply runs meanwhile stabbing myself with a pencil, taught a different intern all the Lab stuff with Girlscout - Team Awesome reunited - and then came the highlight of the day which was girls night with the Queen of Awesome.

That rocked.

Got some indian food, will probably eat my chicken tikka leftovers at around 2AM - have you ever noticed how good food tastes in the early AM's?

Actual adult conversation about actual real-life stuff mixed with a really strong cosmo and our amusing stories made for a fun night. After dinner we hit up a coffee shop and sat outside for a while. Her kiddos are getting older and my camp is coming up so we talked all about the joys of children running wild.

A nice break from the norm and makes me miss the home branch even more. But I get to work there next week so that'll be fun.

Took some excellent pictures, I'd upload them in my phone wasn't being so weird. Technology and me are just not cohesive today.

But it wasn't all play today, wrote and submit a paper tonight. We had to attend a summer reading event and do a write-up, done! Now all I have left for that class is a nonfiction reading strategy due Thursday, upload some audience and appeal reviews on goodreads for 4 nonfiction and 4 cultural j books, and do a media book project pimping out a book in a virtual way, and then I'm done!

So tomorrow will be a big day as well, after work I gotta go get groceries cause Smo is coming and I got nothing, then clean, then write the nonfiction strategy paper and upload those reviews then go to bed. And Thursdays I'm supposed to go to my nephew's game and learn how to do book as apparently they want me to do that for some future games. For some reason. Guess we'll figure that out.

Oh and Thursday is also Food Drive Day, meaning early morning picking up barrels and driving to all the branches to drop them off and explain the gameplan. Meaning I should have that officially written out so I'll know how to explain it. In actual grown up words that sound professional and make sense and stuff.

Yes, and stuff.

Alright, song of the day:

Heard this one immediately after our departure from girls night and found it fitting.

Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves - Eurythmics feat. Aretha Franklin

love the dance moves from 2:18-2:20

out!

Extra Innings Victory!

Every time I cook bacon I kill another plate. What the crap? Seriously, and I only have like 5 of them. Stupid bacon. Throws off my groove. Not that I have much in the kitchen. I do however with puzzles, check it out!


I finished one! Yes, it's sideways. Blogger is weird.
Granted it was only like 211 pieces, but still, I finished one without Carter declaring war and complete annihilation. That's a victory. And came home from the game and it was still intact!

Speaking of the game. OMG. Seriously. There are no words. Other than I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Not my words, just repeating them. There are quite a few that I will not be repeating but it was a great night. Who knew I had a life? Love my family. Every year we as siblings all go to a Saltdogs game to celebrate the birthdays in August - there are three. We go, we drink, we banter, we dance, we cheer, we eat, a lot, and drink some more. And tonight was awesome cause we won it in overtime - I'm sorry, extra innings, apparently it's not overtime even though I'm still going to call it overtime. Although Second Sister was saying there has to be another up and down - or was it top and bottom instead of extra inning. 3-2 We beat the Canadians. Their national anthem was sang before the game as well.


Things I learned tonight:
-Mints make things spell good.
-It's amusing to text things back and forth when you're sitting right next to each other
-Cool Sister-in-law: "How do you spell Eminem?"
King of Useless Knowledge: "M and M. It's on the candies."
-There's a difference between heckling with the window rolled up and heckling with the window rolled down
-Brother:"Did you just use your turn signal?"
KOUK: "These are real cops!" (as opposed to the traffic guards on the way out) "They have guns and ticket books!" ps - that "secret" exit thing is a load of crap. took longer than the regular exits.

"We like to party" THE VENGABOYS!

who sings this? THE VENGABOYS!.......who sings this? THE VENGABOYS!......who sings this? Oh for the love.
This song plays every time we score. Every time. And it's awesome. Cause we dance like idiots - you can't disrespect the dance, that's just dumb cause then we'll lose.

and yes i know the video is super weird with the cross and the village people and the elvis impersonator but i like the dancing and i find it amusing.

But the game and the food and the fireworks and the family was just awesome, totally made my week.

working tomorrow so gonna crash now. have a good one. LM

Oh, the poor tarp people. Ninjutsu!

Today's Highlights include:
-Worked 9-5, flew by

-Got to help train The New Guy. Which is his nickname for now. I'm stoked cause I'm no longer the newest hire at the desk. He's actually pretty wicked awesome. I love it cause we're able to have a completely adult conversation about libraries, serving the public, demographics, collection management, system changes, just everything professional and then we jump to "What would you do if you had 100 million dollars?" I said I wanted a big big screen TV, an extensive DVD collection and a comfortable chair. That was apparently too small. Little Shelver Boy says he'd level one of the buildings nearby and turn it into his own personal library. New Guy says he'd donate 10 million to the library - can't hurt with your taxes - to refurbish ours, then build a new one that's a big circle with glass windows. I said he had to throw in some greenery. And a nice parking lot. Or a parking garage.

-Heard back from the Library Goddess and Superwoman so plans will be implemented, we'll see what happens. Sophie's Choice here I come.

-Getting a gang together to go see The Help, I'm all for a good distraction.

-Went to my niece's soccer game, she rocked it scoring the ONLY GOAL with her left foot. Total pro.

-Decided to hit up a Saltdogs game on sort of a spur of the moment kind of thing and it was awesome! We had our usuals - my hotdogs and margarita, Oldest Sister had her nachos, dip-n-dots and Chelada, M had cheesefries and a pop then some dip-n-dots. We did miss out on the funnelcakes though. Saltdogs were dominating and every run scored meant music which meant dancing - cause you can't disrespect the dance - and Oldest Sister taping us do the Rush Hour dance, you know the one.

1:41-1:51 best part of the movie
Then the Pheasants - yes the Pheasants - tied us at 7 in the 4th and then it was like
Little sprinkle of rain.
...
More little sprinkles of rain.
...
Torrential downpour.
Seriously.
So we ran for cover, standing behind this tarp banner thing that blocked most of the wind and rain but had holes in it so the back of my legs were just soaked.
Wind was a tree breaker - as they'd say on Swamp People...(when the alligators would break the tree branch off in order to escape.) Cause there were branches all over the highway on the way home.
Total madhouse. I ran into the apartment, saving my ipod, phone, notebooks and all that. The best part was that the guys behind us were looking at the radar and said, "Oh yeah, it's gonna miss us." Then they left. Cheaters.
But the poor tarp people. Oh man. It took them like 20 minutes to get the thing unrolled.



Songs of the night: aka the ones I jammed out to on the rainy drive back home

"Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'" Journey live in '79

pretty sure there's lipsyncing involved in this one.

"Tequila" The Champs

what are the words again?

"Ninjutsu!" TMNT version.

sorry, just had to.



Tomorrow's weird cause I get an actual lunch break. 12-2. Plus finding parking. But still, weird. I'll take it.

Me and my big fat cat are out of here. Gonna watch the new Warehouse - which I keep saying that I'm going to but never get to it - and crash. It looks kind of like a Halloween episode - which I guess, if you think about it, every episode could be a Halloween episode, but in this one they get sucked into this video game thing or something and they'll all in costume. And no, it's not gonna be like Tron. Or Tron Legacy. Cause they're awful. And Warehouse is awesome. Totally stoked, wore my Claudia shirt to work the other day but masked it with a dress shirt over the top. Rocked it.
More to come.

Tell them I'm Defying Gravity

I'm gonna keep this short because I need to konk out soon. So today was all over the place. Usually this day sucks, for the past couple of years anyway, but today turned out okay.
Shelved like a maniac again this morning, worked at the desk and on food drive stuff in the afternoon then hit up a Saltdogs game tonight. Sad day that we lost by 1 but it was still a good game. And I got to jam out with my nephew J who's a total goofball.


Quotes of the Day:
Oldest Sister: "I like First Sister better than Older Sister."
Me: Take it up with Customer Service."
mwahaha.

J: "Run! It's Godzilla!"
the other team's right fielder was like 7 feet tall.

Songs that were stuck in my head throughout the day. I'm sorry they're both from musicals but I'm a musicals kind of girl.

"Defying Gravity" Wicked - Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth

It was those last notes at 4:30. Over and over and over. Not the rest of the song, just those notes. Oh man. All day.
This song was seriously awesome live. Highlight of the whole musical.

"Windy City" Calamity Jane - Doris Day

childhood favorite movie. still love it. I think I sing this on average about once a week while I'm shelving. I have no idea why it keeps popping up but it does. Sometimes it drives me bananas but most of the time I just go with. I mean, it's Doris Day. Come on.

Friday, June 17, 2011

Buy the Boy a Blender.

keeping this short as cool aunt will be here in 8 hours and I should sleep. she promises coffee, huzzah!


Quotes of the day:

Wordsmith: When do I get a blender?
W's Mom: When you get married.
Wordsmith: How do you expect me to get a woman if I can't blend a margarita?

best line ever. and so true.

Me: There's nothing subtle about a horse.
cause really there isn't.


Today:
Spent over an hour packing up 16 boxes worth of donations. I was totally exhausted all day. Because that was just the morning. After work was baseball, Saltdogs game with Wordsmith = awesome. totally fun, had my margarita and my funnel cake. excellent.
Currently watching I Am Number Four as I crash but I turned on the for hearing impaired thing and it's this dude narrating everything that's happening. totally awesome. "Now, at the farmhouse..." awesome.


Songs of the night: Theme: RAIN! weather as of late. it's lightning even now. it better quick this tomorrow. at least from 9-5. it can rain after that.

"Rain" The Wreckers

if you were to ask me who my favorite band is i would probably answer The Wreckers. Michelle Branch teamed up with Jessica Harp is just plain awesome.

"Umbrella/Singin' in the Rain" Glee Cast

love their mashups. and i was totally not a fan of this song originally, umbrella i mean. but they make it bearable. plus hearing all about the behind-the-scenes stuff about dancing with those umbrellas, that would be madness.

Tomorrow means College World Series and I'm totally stoked. We're leaving super early because we're all about the experience, walking around and seeing all the booths and stuff. Buying souvenirs. Plus we can find parking.


out!

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-mYkJIcn8c
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTIqBWMPNmE
check these, seriously, down pact.

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.

It's a mad mad world...and the Vengabus is coming.

Or a mad mad rush in the library. Serious business today man. Lots of patrons, not as many workers. Never a dull moment. Ever. But that's the fun part, cause there's stuff to do instead of just sitting around.
Contrary to popular belief: Libraries, not so quiet. Or slow. People are everywhere, all the time.
But it's Friday! And I have the weekend off! The whole weekend! From both places! I think that's a first since like Christmas. Major shocker. But I love my job. Jobs. So I have no problem admitting that I'm likely turning into a workaholic.

And, in the spirit of Friday I'll hit you with a party anthem.

I love this video because it's so random. The hippie bus, dancing on a cliff, The Village People, Elvis? Awesomeness.
And yes you probably know the song from the Worlds of Fun commercials. But I know it from the Saltdogs games cause they play it every time we score.
And my fondest memory of this song, I say fondest with a sarcastic tone, was when we were up like 4-0 and every time it played my sister-in-law would yell, "Who sings this song again?" and I would yell back "The Vengaboys!" Every time! I was like, what is her problem? Did she forget already? See, my siblings and myself go every year to a Saltdogs game in August to celebrate birthdays, preferably on a Wednesday when it's dollar hot dog night, and yes there is drinking. So it took me four scores to figure out she was testing my coherency. Yes I was sober. And yes it was still the Vengaboys who sang the song.

I'm actually very excited for this weekend since the BFF is coming over and crashing at my place. That means watching movies, eating good food, staying up late, sleeping in late (if she'll let me, freakin' early riser), and general relaxation.

So, I hope you all enjoy yours as much as I'll enjoy mine. Have a good one.
