Ah the joys of working weekends.
Day flew by fairly quickly, no major highlights at work.
Aside from the fact that I was reminded how young I am for the profession.
Though not young enough that there should be an 18-year-old following me around the library.
Yet another Magnet Moment, though without Slim Shady there to comment.
I don't need more stalkers, the aides are already laughing at me.
Good god, it was like I'm shelving DVD's so he goes to look at the DVD's.
I go upstairs to the lab so he gets on the computer then starts dancing which is something you notice out of the corner of your eye - I mean, it happens, but not often as boldly as he was doing it. BUT THEN! he's like looking at me out of the corner of his eye so I avoid him by helping other people in the lab and all that which just made the dancing bigger and more bold.
Just awkward.
Anyway, I left for lunch and he was like 5 seconds behind me on the stairs. I basically bolted to the backroom, followed the aides out of the building and thankfully he was gone by the time I got back.
After work I headed off to see the boyfriend. Went out for appetizers - him and his nachos and me with my spinach and artichoke dip. Brought half of it home.
Now I'm jamming with my big fat cat watching Pitch Perfect with commentary.
ah, Elizabeth Banks.
You are aca-awesome.
But I've already rambled enough about this movie.
Go here: Aca-scuse me, synchronized lady dancing to a Mariah Carey chart topper is not lame.
More of 2012's greatest hits
Wide Awake - Katy Perry
love the rhythm of this song. heard it once and bought it immediately.
interesting video but not surprising as katy has a flair for the dramatic. you should watch her Part of Me movie, it's actually pretty cool.
Want U Back - Cher Lloyd
still love it.
favorite memory is when oldest sister and second sister and i went out to eat and second sister heard it for the first time. literally bent over laughing.
Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye
nice paint job.
think i like lindsay's version better but i'm holding off on posting the Voice videos until the end.

Fireworks, Ted, Summer Songs and a Binary Solo
I'm free!!
Until August!!
From school that is, now it's Camp J in high gear. Meeting this weekend with an impromptu golfing session after, but that's really more for our sanity and practice for the big tournament in August.
It was a good day at least. Left early this morning cause I took the Library Goddess with me. I didn't get pulled over and I only ran over one curb with her in the car so I'm calling it a victory.
Class was good, talked about literacy strategies and then presented our digital book projects. I'm just glad it's done, included everything from the syllabus but we shall see.
After that it was the pizza party. Basically a get together meal for all the library students. I met a lot of people, and it's amusing because I get introduced as the Cool Aunt's niece and they all know her so it's like an immediate, "oh yeah!" kind of thing. Highly entertaining.
Added something to the Cool Aunt's haiku, then took off and headed out to see the boyfriend and buy some fireworks.
Hit up my dorm mom's stand, called her enroute of course and she answers, "yes we're open where are you?" The woman knows me all too well. And she gives me free stuff...cause I buy stuff....lots of stuff.
To be fair I did warn him in advance that he was about to see his girlfriend spend an obscene amount of money on something that will literally blow up in her face.
But he'll probably be lighting off half of it anyway.
All I have left to buy is tanks. And I can get those from the Strang stand the day before. They have one in the Dollar General parking lot that I always hit up to support their baseball team. I used to play softball there so gotta show some support. In Strang, not the Dollar General parking lot. Just to clear that up.
After fireworks we went out to eat with his fantastic sister and her amusing boyfriend. They're pretty great so it was cool hanging out with them. And then we hit up Ted. Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, talking stuffed teddy bear, etc.
It was....interesting. I mean, not awful. Heart-warming at times. Highly inappropriate at others.
Scale of Awesome would rate it somewhere around 4/10. It wasn't bad, I laughed, I just don't plan on watching it again.
Very Family Guy-esque. Since it was the same dude it kind of makes sense.
If you don't know the premise, it's basically this kid has no friends so he makes a wish that his teddy bear could come to life and they could be best friends forever. And it works, and then the story jumps to like 25 years later when he's 35 and has a girlfriend who's sick of the bear and all that.
Here:
like i said, interesting.
And, as is tradition. Out for the summer means a new Summer Song.
Cause I'm a nerd and declare the first song that plays after I'm officially out for the summer to be my summer song and I can't skip it for the entire summer. Which works out for some, and not so well for others.
2008: Kat Deluna's "Whine Up"
this was one of them that got old fast.
2009: "Tomorrow Still Comes" Will Dailey
he's a bit quirky, just go with it.
2010: "Remember Last Time" by Avi Buffalo
yes they're kids and his voice is much different recorded, this is live.
2011: "Tonight, Tonight" Hot Chelle Rae
technically it was the radio version, but i found this one and as i've posted the other multiple times, i'm posting this one now. shockingly not sick of this one yet.
which leads me to 2012 and...drumroll....or not.
Big surprise here, though it wasn't planned I hit shuffle as usual.
2012: "Want U Back" the US version of course
get tired of the kid rapper on the uk one.
the grunts really do make the song though, found this one and it's just not the same.
she is fantastic live.
and like 18.
and getting married.
and here's a little something extra just because i can.
Flight of the Conchords "Robo Boogie"
love the binary solo.
OUT!

i want u back, i want u back, want-want-u-want-u back, uh!
Where do I start?
Jammed all day at the home branch with the Glee-Loving Boss and my ex-aide-partner-in-crime. Was cool catching up and all that, and actually massively busy, especially when he went to lunch and I was by myself. But isn't that how it always works.
No massive takeovers or small fires, just some kids who talked endlessly. So I talked them into joining the summer reading program and sent them to the volunteer. And it worked. But then they came back.
After they left it got pretty quiet and he was back to start the movie. I took off at 6, carpooled to my college town with Oldest Sister and Squirt. She babysat for Second Sister while we hit up the new Mexican place. It was awesome. Got a huge pitcher of mango margaritas. And got through like half of it. And there were three of us.
And what's more amusing is we're talking and this old dude at the table next to us comes over and gives us crap about not being able to finish it. So I downed some. Gave me a brainfreeze, my third of the night. But there was still at least a fourth of a pitcher left, and it was pure alcohol you could see the division.
Their table was amusing, it was one of the chicks birthdays and they sombrero-d her and put whip-cream on her face. And sang. Remind me not to go there on my birthday.
Had some fun, interesting stories and all that, and I was only scarred for life once which is a new record so I'd call it a victory.
Quotes of the night:
-"Everybody has an uncle Johnny." So, my grandma - dad's mom - was a bit stubborn. Okay, a bit more than a bit. My favorite quotation of hers comes from when she refused to go downstairs because of a tornado warning. "Wake me when it's in the yard." I still quote it cause seriously, there's been some sort of storm warning almost every other day for weeks. Wake me when it's in the yard. Then I'll run like hell.
Anyway, she was stubborn. We have no idea what Uncle Johnny did, but she would not let him live it down. And as we were being all philosophical and all that crap, we've decided that pretty much everyone has an Uncle Johnny in their lives. Someone who drives them mad to the point of frustration.
And I liked the quote so I'm gonna put it in something. Anecdote of some sorts, and leave it unexplained. See what happens. If I actually have time to write anything anytime soon. Though I do only work 4-6 tomorrow, maybe I'll pull up a word doc and continue on with the apartment story. Geez, apartment story, been a while. I do have thoughts about all the tenants, I just gotta actually put them down on paper. Or virtual paper at least. Shitty first drafts, write down everything you can get rid of it later.
This made more sense in my head before I started typing, ignore that and go with these ones.
Oldest Sister: "She was a S-L-U-T. I don't know why I'm whispering."
Second Sister: "Carrie can spell."
There's always a mass amount of sarcasm that goes with dinners like these. And a mass amount of children stories. Apparently even when their children aren't around they still feel compelled to censor themselves. Mostly. Then get them some liquor and that goes away. Though the censorship wouldn't do much good anyway as the one who spelled it out is the one with kids aged 12 and 14. Think they can spell that.
Their kids are quite humorous. We talked a lot about them and what they've got going on, reminiscing of their moments of snarkyness. I remember one time, Bubby was like five, and he said "Crap" and I told him he was too young to say crap. He asked what he was supposed to say instead and I said something like "oh carrots" or "oh potatoes" to which he replied "you're a potato" and I probably said something about him being carrots, I think there was something about fried cheese thrown in their somewhere and it went back and forth for a while and then he hit me with, "You don't even have any brains, there's just spiders crawling around up in there."
I died. And crowned him king of the comeback.
He's clever like that, do not underestimate the kid. He's full of one-liners.
What else have we got from tonight? Oh yeah, so we were pulling up to the restaurant and this song started to play and I was explaining it to Second Sister as she had never heard it and she was like whatever. And then we were driving to her place and it started playing on the radio and oh my god, every time the chick grunts we cracked up.
too funny.
This is the American version, in the UK one there's a kid rapper and the video is a bit more um, UK. Interesting interpretations as the UK one is all fancy with photos and digital effects, and this one is like punk rock meets 50's diner. Americana.
Alright I'm out for the night. Sleeping in twice in three days man, I could get used to this. Not that it will happen again anytime soon. I'm out until around 3ish as I don't go in until 4. Don't freak out if I don't answer my phone until after noon. I'm sleepin' in! and probably watching some Dark Shadows, gotta get through more ILL's so I can request Freakazoid and Dexter's Lab.
