Darth Vader follows me on Twitter. Take that world.

Okay, fair warning this post is going to be music-filled cause Voice finals were tonight along with The Sing Off which I put off watching though I don't know why cause after tonight holy crap.

Seriously, watch this and tell me you aren't a fan.



Yep, going back to watch the rest of the season.

Oh look, Pentatonix.

That explains why they're everywhere.


Anyway, before all this there wasn't a lot of music, minus when I was off desk cause I do listen to my headphones when I'm off desk.

Do some dancing and all that in the elevators.

Though you really have to watch out for which elevator you're in cause we have two and one has a bigass window and that would just be bad.

The other one is super slow and claustrophobic so to pass the time it works.

Where was I?

Oh right, work.

Work was super slow today - think it was the weather, everyone was outside instead.

It was a sweltering 40-some degrees today.

You scoffed at that, but 40-something is sweltering for December in Nebraska.

There's people outside in shorts.

It's madness.

And it's supposed to continue to swelter this week and hit 49 at some point. I'm hoping the trend is slowness doesn't continue as well.

But, I do actually get a lot done when it's slow so it wasn't all that bad.

We're working on getting plastic bags for the checkout which is super boring to you, I'm aware, but big for us, well me since I'm supplies and have to write a proposal for it and all that.

Thankfully I have Superwoman around to make it all shiny and stuff.

Speaking of shiny stuff, I got my final GPA. I finished with a 3.978 which out of 4.0 isn't all that bad.

Would have been a 4.0 if not for that lone A-

Mean.

*cough*Library Goddess*cough*


What else from today that's not music-related?

Oh, so I posted on Twitter something I found online that goes a little something like this:

Jingle bells, 
Twilight smells,
Edward ran away. 
Bella dies, 
Jacob cries, 
Star Wars all the way.

Half an hour later I get a notification that Darth Vader now follows me on Twitter.

So take that world.

It's sad, but I'm proud of that.

Brother will be super jealous, though not jealous enough to actually join Twitter. Or any social network at all for that matter.

He's a lot like my dad, they're both luddites.

Dad's only experience with technology are his smart tractors and his reality-filled DVR.

Or "reality" that is.

Duck Dynasty. Swamp People. American Pickers. Big Shrimpin'. Ax Men. Pawn Stars.

There's more should I go on?

Anyway, I'm pumped. Now I will have to find more Star Wars humor and post it to keep him on my side.

Okay, now on to the music.

So yes, tonight was the Voice finals. Tessanne rocked it. She's still my number one and I think she deserves to win, but I'm secretly cheering for Will cause he's the complete underdog.

He lost in the battles then got stolen by Xtina. He lost in the knockouts then got stolen back by Adam. He beat out James, Cole and Matthew which is madness and he did it all in style.

I know, I know, you don't care, but you should watch this cause it's excellent.

Tiny Dancer


I cheered when I heard "take on an Elton John classic" then attempted to guess what it would be. Not even close.

Love those guys.

Anyway, for the - well, second to - last time here's my Top 20:

Top 20

Red - Adam

Alright, on to the actual music.

Day Three of Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck

Tonight's song choices are:

Christmas Wrapping - Save Ferris


oh my god, was not expecting the twist on the lyrics, love it.

2011 was The Waitresses, 2012 was The Donnas


Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Cimorelli


no, i don't expect you to know who they are, but you should check them out. they've done a ton of covers, my favorite of which is probably Call Me Maybe that they turn into an 80's workout video.

2011 was Glee, 2012 was Michael Buble


Let It Snow - Christina Perri


love her, she's great, but you know that already since i've posted like 8 things by her already on here.

2011 was Michael Buble, 2012 was Frank Sinatra

this was a close second for that last one:



shutup wesley!


2011 Day Three - You Better Not Pout, I'm Telling You Why
2012 Day Three - You Mean You Forgot Cranberries Too?


and speaking of 80's workout videos, check this out if you haven't already:


Library. Desk. Potatoes.


out, legit pre-midnight, holy crap tag in use.

He's a bird dog.

So I broke down and got Twitter.

Now I feel like even more of a stalker.

But it's amusing to read what my favorite celebrities are rambling about.

Watched Splash in the background when I was setting it up.

Just when I was starting to like Brandi Chastain. It would have been cool if she won since she started as an alternate.

No, honestly Nicole Eggert deserves to win the show, but I've been rooting for Drake and Rory since the beginning so I feel I gotta stick with them.

Work today was interesting.

More Aide Training.

Shelving Adult Non-Fiction and Youth Services now.

She's great, so far perfect minus a book on CD issue yesterday.

I don't know how but we are completely caught up on shelving.

We have some awesome aides and volunteers.

One of my volunteers is 93 years old. Comes in almost every day.

Skipped the Volunteer Recognition Banquet cause it was her day to volunteer.

Gets up on step stools to reach the high shelf, she's fantastic.

Aside the aide training there were a lot of tiny children running all over the place. Multiple grade school tours going through.

Originally I was asked if I wanted to help lead them but tiny children in giant masses freak me out.

I know, it's great that I work in Youth Services, huh?

Camp I can handle cause it's controlled groups in organized sessions and they're all over 3rd grade.

Speaking of camp, getting stoked.

Gonna have to start putting together some skits while I have the time.

But first I should really finish all my homework.

Final project presentation for Diversity is next week, along with my final assignment for Internet Reference.

She's finally letting us use Google.

I know the point of the class is to get us to use a variety of resources, but I can find things so much faster on Google than any of those other sites!!

Drove me nuts cause assignments took 3 times as long. But that's what you do when you work reference, Google, because the people on the phone don't want to wait for you to search a variety of search sites they want a phone number, address, answer to some obscure trivia question, etc. and they want it right away.

Anyway, I'm excited to be able to use Google.

As excited as one can be when they're talking about homework.

But I will soon be done with it eternally so I guess it's okay.

Next week, then I'm free 'til June. After June everything will be about Camp and Summer Reading and then classes pick up again in August and then I'll be done in December!!

I have no idea where this post was headed so I'm going to steer it toward something I do know about and that's The Voice.

I know, you're all shocked, but I didn't post about it last night cause I hadn't watched it yet so you're getting it tonight.

Highlights episode was on tonight to prep for next week's live shows. I'm so excited!!

Anyway, Monday Adam and Shakira's teams were knocked down to four a piece, last night it was Blake and Usher's turn.

Team Blake

"someone nice?"

Team Usher

"well that's inappropriate."
"Beaches...?" I love Michelle, that's fantastic.

Here's how my top 20 lines up after last night's knockout rounds.

Red = Adam
Green = Blake
Blue = Usher
Purple = Shakira

Judith Hill - Adam, defeated Karina in battles and Orlando in knockout round

Jess Kellner - Usher, defeated Taylor, lost to Josiah in knockouts

Midas Whale - Adam, defeated Patrick, beat by Amber in knockout round

Caroline Glaser - Blake, lost to Taylor stolen by Adam, defeated Amy in knockout round

Savannah Berry - Blake, defeated Jacqui in battles, lost to Justin in knockouts

I know, I know, you read none of that. But it's Voice season, so get over it.

Song of the night:

Okay, weirdest song ever.



Ever weirder?

It was a big hit.

What the crap is a bird dog?

And see I want to hate it, cause the lyrics are so weird. But I can't get the melody out of my head cause the harmonies are catchy.

Dangit.
