More Aide Training today.
She reminds me of my original high school roommate, looks just like her and is goofy as well.
Original meaning my first roommate.
Well, I guess there were two, but then the one got kicked out. Then another moved in and then I switched rooms and moved in with two others and then another moved in with us so I had...6 roommates throughout freshman year?
And then she went on to room with Juwanna - who was my last high school roommate - before ditching us for Texas.
My favorite memory of her is, okay so it was freshman year and I was super homesick and I think it was like the first or second week and she was trying to cheer me up so she put a box on her head - think she was unpacking or something - and started dancing.
So I pulled out my disposable camera and took a picture.
I don't know if she heard the click or saw the flash but she turned around, put her hands on her hips and just stared at me. Box on head.
It was hysterical.
Anyway, the new aide is great. She shelved today and tagged so I got to go through and pull them. Got all the books right so I was impressed.
Not bad for her first time, though she does work at a bookstore so I guess it wasn't all that surprising.
Work flew by pretty quickly. Afterwards I headed out to see the boyfriend.
We met up at the theater to see Oblivion.
Oh my god, so weird.
So, so weird.
I was intrigued but at the same time I was totally confused. But that was kind of the point I guess.
Scale of Awesome says about 7/10.
Entertainment Weekly said "We liked Oblivion better when it called Moon and starred Sam Rockwell."
So I checked out Moon to compare and contrast.
But it's already a step up because while I don't like Tom Cruise I love Sam Rockwell.
Not only cause he's Drew's friend - Charlie's Angels, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Everybody's Fine, etc. - but also for Seven Psychopaths, Iron Man 2, etc.
Here's the trailer for that:
holy crap, that's like dead on.
Anyway, after that we watched parts of Dark Shadows and Edward Scissorhands, I know Johnny Depp marathon, and then Napoleon Dynamite.
So it was a good day.
Am watching the Voice, only halfway through so not gonna post about that until tomorrow.
For now you're getting:
Crazy Women - LeAnn Rimes
love it.

Gandhi was wrong.
Should I be scared that someone googled "Bo Pelini in tights" and ended up at my blog?
Pretty sure it led them to the entry about him about getting run over downtown in broad daylight.
Anyway, today was good. 9-2 at the work branch, then home, then out to the boyfriend's for dinner and a movie.
Work was fun. Spent the majority of it planning for next week's Teen Tech Week. That they put me in charge of.
Even though I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm working on it.
We're going with "Check in @ Your Library" and originally they had to check-in on Facebook on their phones, however not all teens have Facebook so we're going with having them answer questions about the library's website instead.
But they have to visit the library 4 times by the end of the week, each time filling out a sheet with their name and the date and then the answer to a question and those who visit 4 times get a candy bar and are entered into a drawing for an iTunes giftcard.
Should be interesting.
After work I got Chinese - cashew chicken, half of which is in my fridge - watched some Lie to Me and then headed out to see the boyfriend. We got cheap tacos at Taco Johns for Taco Tuesdays and then got Seven Psychopaths from Redbox.
Here's my favorite part.
Hilarious.
Scale of Awesome says 7/10. I love Sam Rockwell. He's one of my favorites, and Collin Farrell wasn't so bad along with Christopher Walkin and Woody Harrelson. It was a really unique storyline, basically Rockwell and Walkin steal dogs and fake like they found them and return them to the owners thereby getting the finder's fee. Bad things start to happen when they kidnap Harrelson's dog Bonnie since Harrelson just happens to be a mob boss.
Farrell is a screenwriter working on a story called Seven Psychopaths and needs to come up with seven different psychopaths to feature - in the beginning he just has the title. Meanwhile his life suddenly becomes filled with psychopaths and he ends up making a run for it to the desert along with Walkin and Rockwell which is where this scene takes place.
"You can't let the animals die in a movie...only the women."
"Put your hands up!"
"No."
"What?"
"I said no."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to."
"But I've got a gun."
"I don't care."
"It doesn't make any sense."
"Too bad."
Each psychopath is totally unique, but what was interesting was how their stories weaved into the main story. Really cool and amusing.
After that we watched a bit of We Bought a Zoo which we'd both seen before but it was still excellent.
So that was my day, on to the music. Still debating about the fiction now that Jax is done with. Maybe Matt Harper - not the detective, the high school student. I liked the name so I reused it, long story.
More Maroon 5's Songs About Jane album. You're gonna get a lot of these the next couple weeks.
Sunday Morning
you twist to fit the mold that i am in...
Secret
Through With You
just a couple more from this album tomorrow. i know, it's a lot but there will be even more when it comes to their 3rd album.
I neglected to mention the Adam did a Blake Shelton impersonation on stage, it was hilarious. "Here's my Blake impression." Turned all hick with a deep voice.
out!

Can't Touch This
"Nice boat."
"I think you would call it a yacht. And if it leaves the dock I'll be a stowaway."
"Yeah well, if it leaves the dock I'm gonna jump ship. Or yacht. Can you jump yacht?"
More Charlie's Angels. I'm hooked all over again. But still in second and third season. The longer I stick with these two the less likely I'll get to season four when I'll be horribly depressed by the lack of Sabrina. "I love you, I'll prove it, you won't like it, I don't care." My new motto for life. That and "Well that's something to scrapbook."
Today was something to scrapbook. I realized how out of shape I am - after last night's softball game I'm just in pain. My leg was throbbing all day, I had to keep it wrapped because it's disgusting - granted not as bad as last year's - and when you're shelving it's always up and down, dude, that hurt. Plus I'm still exhausted. But I love the double-header. Totally worth it, pumped for Saturday. Prince of Peace is going down. They're the team we never beat. And of course we play them when Pastor and his wife are out of town. But Homey-G-Wigger and me got the jump on them cause we played them yesterday with the E-Free. Their pitcher always kicks my butt, there's like a spin on it. Makes everything pop up so they can catch it. So I try to tomahock it and chop it down but that shoots it straight to the shortstop with the killer arm. I'm toast. But we'll see. So far we are the team to beat, I think. Cause we plowed the Methodists. And we as E-Free almost beat Prince of Peace - we were up by two until they decided to have a major comeback and scored like 8 in two innings. It was still a closer game than ours. Maybe this time G and I'll actually make it for real ice cream as tradition instead of the gas station kind that we got last night and last year after we played on their team as well. It's hard to find a place that's open past 8PM in G-Town. But the ice cream Snickers bar was fantastic.
After desking in the morning - can that be a verb? I'm making it one - and shelving in the afternoon I started working on my homework, blah! Reading and posting the highlights of an article on Leadership and Management and Libraries and surveys and Emotional Intelligence and blah. It's my article, I found it, so it's my fault, but still. blah. It'll be worth it in the end.
Clips of the night: You make me feel like dancing.
c'mon, everybody's doing it!
a bad guy with style. shades flew off in the blooper reel during that last turn.
i love sam rockwell. he and drew have paired up like 3 times now. maybe more. you got this, you got confessions of a dangerous mind, then everybody's fine, what's next?
although i like this one better
this is what happens whenever i have to move or clean, get distracted by the jam and dance, though i have yet to knock over a couch in the process. took them a day to come up with and film the dance.
yes i'm on an angels binge. it'll be over with soon enough i'm sure. it goes in spurts. i'm sure i'll get distracted by warehouse or chuck or something i get from the library soon enough.
oh no! some dude shot his mom while there was a burglar in the other room! can't really go to the cops for that..."so i was robbing this place, and this gun, it went off in the other room! and i went to check and she was dead! just dead!" "you were robbing the place?" "yeah, so? he shot her dead!"
ohhh, wait, that wasn't his mom? eww! generation gap ahoy!
Alright, off to read and watch more before I crash. OUT!
