Thank you frailty. Thank you consequence. Thank you, thank you silence.

I feel like I should be doing homework.

Granted the only assignment this week isn't due until Friday, but still.

It feels weird to actually have time to sit around and watch TV.

No discussion boards, plus I finished the newsletter and sent it to the Library Goddess, so the only pressing matter on mind is that Bosley's gone missing and is in big trouble.

He was trying to be spontaneous cause he felt the Angels knew him to well so he disappeared, sending them clues to see if they could figure out where he went and now he's been drugged and kidnapped.

See what happens when my boyfriend works second shift?

I watch like 3 discs worth of 70's awesomeness.

And apparently my theory of no one wanting to be Sabrina was false, no matter how many TV interviews I'd watched about the series, two of my library friends still say she was their favorite.

I also neglected to mention yesterday that my ex boyfriend's mother was Kate Jackson's stunt double.

Which was awesome.

It's interesting to see how many big-named actors have made guest appearances on the show and to see where they are now. Dennis Cole - dead - appeared in three different episodes as three different characters but they kept casting him because he was married to Jaclyn Smith.

I find it amusing when spouses make cameos, like Jason Sehorn on WMC appearing as basically himself. He walks out of a room right as Angie Harmon's character walks in claiming, "why can't I get a guy like that?!" Though according to the awesomeness that is Demi he has no interest in appearing in Rizzoli and Isles.

Bummer. I might actually watch that episode.

I'm so far behind, I watched the whole first season, bought it plus the second but have failed to watch any of the third...or the second that I already own.

Oldest Sister took advantage of that and watched it whilst babysitting my apartment waiting for the mattress men.

Speaking of Oldest Sister, totally missed out on a family thing at Second Sister's house today cause I had to work. Bummer. Oh well, I shall hopefully see them at some point this weekend since I'm off for three days.

And then have to go back to work on my birthday, but the three days before it make up for that.

I think.

Ah, she does believe you John Bosley. And she's sorry for drugging you, kidnapping you, and for shooting at your friends.

She's a keeper.

Carter is less than enthused about this show, he fell asleep on my lap about 5 minutes in, then glared at me every time I've gotten up to switch out discs.

But really it's either this or Storage Wars as that is currently filling up my DVR.

Don't judge me.

It's good to fall asleep to.

Interesting, yet not interesting enough to keep me awake for three hours after I should have fallen asleep.

Speaking of sleep it's getting late. Big day tomorrow, gotta finalize my TAB agenda for the meeting on Tuesday cause I only go in for two hours Monday.

Finally found a bunch of fun ideas for Summer Reading Events - aside from the golf, which I got my official approval email about, woohoo!

All thanks to the rebuttal email that took me 2 hours to write and drove BossLady nuts cause I kept making her proofread it.

But the other stuff sounds fun too, bring your favorite book and make a board game about it - found some fun templates - paper lanterns, painting glass, sand bowls, making masks, homemade bracelets, etc. I'll post more about them after they make their decision on Tuesday.

Alright, on to the music. 

I'm slowly running out of songs to recommend, but I guess that happens after 725 posts. I didn't do music recs until about 3 months in, but with 2 per post after that that's still over 1000 songs rec'd.

Geez.

So I'll hit you with some classics.

The song that never dies:

Footloose - Blake Shelton

reminds me of him on The Voice. "I don't wash my truck. Ever."

haven't seen the new movie cause i figured it'd kill the original.

And one I sing often at work:

Thank You - Alanis Morissette

too catchy for its own good.

and i'm out.

i say yes when i oughta say no.

Ah how I miss sleeping in.

Yesterday was long, more training and all that but I got to come home, watch some Homeland, talk to Sketch, plan out our next adventure - we're thinking March - and relax. But I was on the phone with her for like 2 hours and falling asleep by the time I got off so I skipped posting.

Today was nice, didn't have to go in until 5:30, though missed out on dinner with the boyfriend's family so that kind of sucked.

But the teen thing was fun. It was a cosplay party which is basically where they show up in costume and we play games. They did some charade stuff and then got candy and we played Apples to Apples, Clue, Life, Hangman, and Mafia.

I've watched people play mafia for years at camp and I still have no idea what it's about.

But they seem to enjoy it.

My gang all played Apples to Apples.

Used the same rule as at the Holiday Party since they again chose the adult version over the junior one. If you don't know who the person is hand it to me and pick a new card. Tonight's people included: Steve Martin, Al Pacino, Jacques Cousteau, John Travolta, amongst others.

Big surprise they knew who Georgia O'Keefe was.

Well, one of them at least.

They always make me feel super old when we play.

But I guess I am, at least compared to them.

They tend to stick together, not big into mingling. I had to encourage that a bit when they went to do the charades but they made it through unscathed.

But they're teens so that's kind of expected. I was that way as well.

Afterward we leaders went out for drinks.

And sorry, but Vegas rules apply so you get nothing.

Though I will say we were the loudest table there.

And it was humorous because we're a bunch of library people at a bar under investigation for having strippers there earlier this week.

I even got carded! Which rarely happens anymore.

It was a lot fun. Never really get to see these guys aside from inservice and youth services meetings. And meetings are meetings, as much fun as they may be.

Learned a lot of fun life lessons and humorous library stories so now I'm going to bed because I'm working all weekend. But I have Monday and Tuesday off so it'll be worth it.

On to the music:

They played an interesting collection of music at the bar tonight, ranging from NSync to Steppenwolf. I'll give you a varied range as well.

All Right Now - Free


classic, good jam song

I Get Around - Dragonette


cause i like them and it's catchy. another great jam song.

And it's humorous to see their reactions when the cymbal falls off.



Back to Storage Wars again. Why is Darrell known as "The Gambler" when he never buys anything? Like he'll bid and then quit. Like 5 out of every 6 episodes he goes home empty.

I think I'm watching far too much of this show to realize that.

Turning it off and putting on Homeland.

"and don't forget to pay the lady."

Holy crap, McDermott just woke up.

Scared the crap out of Carter.

Freakin' Furby.

So I was up 'til about 4 last night.

Couldn't sleep - combination of factors aka sickness and restlessness but I was really productive, verified by the fact that the Library Goddess emailed me back this morning with, "what were you doing up that late?!"

Went into work anyway cause I promised Slim Shady that I wouldn't miss her last day.

She got her dream schedule today and ended it with me closing down second floor.

Walking her out for the last time I had flashbacks of walking out Fearless Leader and taking her picture in front of the library.

Took Slim's picture in the workroom taking her name off her locker - see Facebook.

Same frickin' locker that attacked us - fell over on us and they're huge and heavy so Big Brother and Fearless Leader had to come on the run to save us.

AND NOW ALL THREE OF THEM ARE GONE, so the next time it tips I'm hosed.

See, when Fearless Leader left it sucked.

It did.

But now they're both gone and it sucks even more.

Cause the three of us were pretty tight - dinners, movies, booze cakes, etc.

We were all hired within months of each other and we were around the same age so we were fast friends.

But the difference between Slim and Fearless is that Fearless had a boyfriend the whole time she was at the work branch, however Slim and I went on our fair share of bad dates and then got to vent all about them before we both got together with our respective "he's the one" guys.

So we bonded and vented and vented some more. And while I love all of my coworkers it was nice having someone my age that was going through the same stuff.


Even SuperWoman tracked me down this afternoon and went "both of your buddies are gone."

Yep.

Oh well, still got the New Guy who's my age and BossLady isn't much older.

And we always say, it's not goodbye but really it is.

The end of an era.

An interesting end to an interesting day at the library.

She did really go out with a bang - literally, Queen of the Known Universe  and I got the pleasure of calling the cops over a fist fight on first floor. There was a chunk of hair on the floor when I showed the cop where they fought, it was nasty.

We just heard thumping noises and saw people fleeing the area before we figured out what was going on.

Apparently one of the fighters was mouthing off to one of the cops outside and they had to take him down.

Joy.

What else from today?

You should never go grocery shopping when you're sad. You'll buy far more junk food than you should.


Oh well, see there's a reason I didn't label losing weight as one of my resolutions.

Mostly because I always list it and never do it so I'm thinking if maybe I don't list it and the pressure's off maybe I actually will do it.

Does that make sense at all?

Alright, aiming for earlier than 4 though it is already 2:30 though this time I don't have to wake up until like 5PM tomorrow. The boyfriend and I are taking Bubby, Squirt and Squirt's BF to a hockey game. Should be interesting.

Moving on to the music, more of 2012's greatest hits.

Back In Time - Pitbull


i used to really not like him. his miami's and havana's drove me nuts but he's growing on me. like this one a lot, along with the newest release.


Die Young - Ke$ha


but see with her i've always been a fan.


One That Got Away - Katy Perry


i'm sorry but old katy is creepy.

but anyway, after watching her Part of Me movie totally see her from a completely different perspective. even bigger fan now.

remember when i started falling asleep to storage wars? back in like july? i'm bringing it back. it's entertaining but not entertaining enough to keep me awake.

i go in spurts on who to root for. think jarrod and brandi are my favorite. barry coming in second. dave's alright but i don't remember the name of the other one, darrell? right?
