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.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mambo #5.
Today's Highlights:
- Beat the first section of Angry Birds - Poached Eggs - and opened the rest of the levels aka Mighty Hoax, Danger Above, The Big Setup and Ham 'Em High. Totally stoked.
- Talked about Wicked with Superwoman, we were quoting it up. "Not everyone can come and go by bubble!"
- Actually heard Wordie trying to get my attention this time so now he can't make fun of me being completely unaware of my surroundings when my headphones are in.
- Came home to a clean apartment. Enough said.
- Mom showed up at the library - no cookies this time, sad day - to bring me apples and Saltdogs tickets from Oldest Sister. The tickets were from O.S. not the apples. I hooked her up with some audio books, she was excited.
- Got my scores back from my booktalk and totally rocked it! First up Rock the Booktalk, Next stop World Domination! *insert evil laugh here* 40/40, not bad for putting it together the night before while typing on here and trying to stay awake. But that's when all my inspiration strikes, for some odd reason. Like last night I was up writing until 2.
That's how camp works actually. I can plan all I want all summer long for skits and stuff, like ohh, this one would be cool. But I don't get my final numbers for the kids until like the day before. And even then things are up in the air. I use that as an excuse for procrastination and usually end up writing my skits at about 3AM Thursday night. Camp starts on Friday. But the skits usually turn out to rock the house. Killer Eggs was a big hit, I think I wrote that one about 3AM with my awesome bandmate Delayed...Reaction co-star. (check the videos to the right). The Charles Nelson Reilly to my Brett Somers. He keeps me sane. And he's gonna have to keep me extra sane this year as my partner in crime is ditching me with all the kids to go to some political blah whatever. Obi-wan. Man. Totally not cool. We were the 5-headed monster! Now it's just gonna be me and the tri-director squad. Hopefully he'll be able to make it for teen camp.
Even my mentor is only gonna be there for part of it. I can't do skits and worship without her!
Plus Amos is gone as she is pregnant and probably wouldn't like all the heat and all that. And she's been going as long as I've been going. 2nd grade 'til college graduate is a long time. Freakin' lifers. This year is gonna be interesting.
I refuse to take the torch from my mentor. There's no way I could take over the whole thing.
- Ultimate highlight: Cool Aunt called and we're going to the opening game of the College World Series Saturday!! Woohoo! Vanderbilt vs. North Carolina. I'll have to do some research before I pick a team but I'm guessing NC for this one at least. We went 2 years ago and I was all about LSU - they totally dominated. Year before that I lived with Grams and we went for Fresno State since they were the underdogs. They also dominated. Unfortunately, last year South Carolina beat my UCLA. Will have to see how the teams line up before I pick my final.
It's always fun to go to games with the Cool Aunt. Huskers games to cheer for Helu and Suh, CWS of awesomeness - except when we went it rained hardcore, haha. I think the only game we've went to that had decent weather was like...never. We've frozen at a Husker game, we got soaked at a CWS game, Oh! Kansas vs. Huskers in Kansas a couple years ago was only slightly cold. I pulled it off with a hoodie, so I guess you could call that nice weather. Anyway, it's about time we get some good weather karma. Now watch, me saying that is gonna screw us over.
Change of subject.
Songs for the night:
Gotta give a shout-out to the QofA and her cute little girl who had a dance party to yesterday's music. Here's some other fun ones to jam out to.
1999 Flashbacks
"Livin La Vida Loca" Ricky Martin
diggin' it. that's a totally stylish plastic coat at 2:38. I'm sure they were all the rage. especially for people who dance around in the rain of a fire hydrant.
"Mambo Number 5" Lou Bega
used to dance to this song all the time with my cousins. and those rope light necklaces at 0:52 would totally go well with the plastic jacket from the last video.
styling, i'm telling ya.
Posting early so I can write some more tonight and go to bed at a decent hour this time. Although there are no guarantees there. Tomorrow's split shift so I'll do some homework then. I'm almost halfway thru book #11, I'll finish that one up and get started on #12.
OUT!

Oh, just wear the frock, it's pretty!
Went to see Wicked in Omaha. It was fantastic. Here are my highlights:
Elphaba: I mean, who steals a dead women's shoes? She must've been raised in a barn!
Elphaba: What could he give me, I clash with everything!
Elphaba: Well, we can't all come and go by bubble!
Elphaba: I'm beautifully tragic. *after sister is referred to as tragically beautiful*
Glinda: It seems the artichoke is steamed!
Glinda: I'm Glinda! The ga is silent.
Glinda: You are out of control! I mean, they're just shoes, let it go!
Glinda: *fails to turn Elphaba's dress into a ball gown with her wand* Hello? Is this thing on!
Guard: The goat is on the lamb!
Both: There's been some confusion, for you see, my roommate is...
Glinda: unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe...
Elphaba:...BLONDE.
had to look that last one up, couldn't think of what Glinda said. But the Blonde part, I totally died. She like looked at the audience and paused...fantastic.
And the chick who played Glinda sounded exactly like Kristin Chenoweth, seriously. Impersonation was dead on.
Quotes of the day/night:
Chick from class: I drove by and was like huh? Then the guy driving behind me was like huh?
-this kid was walking barefoot on the sidewalk but had her shoes in her hand.
Second Sister: How do you know that song?
Me: How do you not?
-about defying gravity, how do you not know that song?
Second Sister: You're not a typical woman.
-I think my response was um ouch, thanks. not sure if I should be offended or proud. Apparently I'm a lot like my brother. Which is fine with me as he is pretty awesome.
anyway, should head to bed soon. gonna finish my book and crash. the teen program today was pretty fun, we watched a bunch of kids make stuff out of duct tape. like flip flops and wallets and stuff. they had some awesome colors there, leopard print and flames and stuff. they never had that cool of duct tape when i was a kid!
song for the night: Defying Gravity
the original of awesomeness, idina and kristin as it should be
glee version with random clips, gotta love it

*Spoiler Alert*
Okay, enough time has elapsed at this point to where, I think I can talk about this stuff. If you haven't seen the finales at this point either you don't watch the show or you just don't care how the season ended. So, this post will most likely be filled with spoilers to various tv show finales. Aka NCIS, Bones, Castle and Criminal Minds. So, if you haven't seen the finales and plan on watching them online or something you should skip this post. Or at least skip to the bottom.
What was it, the year of death?! Dude! Even on Glee! I'm wondering if the different networks have some sort of meeting and decide on a theme. Like, let's make everyone happy this year and unite the love interests or let's kill someone off that everybody loves so they tune in next year just to see how we can screw up next!
NCIS - Okay, so you knew it was going to be a big episode after the mystery eye opened MTAC. Seriously. But did they have to kill off Mike Franks?! I totally cried. I like him. Couldn't they have killed Trent Kort instead? As sad as it was the funeral scene was still pretty cool with Gibbs and all the Navy stuff. Speculation for next season: Tony investigating Gibbs. Cause, I mean, who else is he going to investigate? They've already done enough to Ziva, Tim doesn't really have a secret past and with Gibbs there's endless material. Plus he's having that sort-of feud with Vance lately. He's suspicious of his past or something, there's gotta be some kind of retaliation. Right?
Bones - Um, can I just say FINALLY! Emily Deschanel is actually pregnant so we knew somehow that had to come into play. I didn't think this would be the kind of show to hide her behind lab tables, although there would be plenty. Oh my god, could you imagine having pregnancy hormones and morning sickness on that set? There's a disgusting and decomposing dead body in every episode! (Well, minus the live victim from this season) I'm sad they didn't give us more details about Booth and Bones.
Speculation: Is Angela going to start bringing her baby to work or is there going to be some sort of daycare center at the lab? Next year's gonna be awesome. let's leave it at that.
Castle - Big episode! and finally for Castle and Beckett too! even though she's like dying and all that. But they can't kill her off because then they wouldn't have a show.
Speculation: When they told us someone was going to die this season I immediately jumped to Montgomery. The captain is always the one that gets killed off or leaves. And, because Hollywood is cliche, I'm sure he'll be replaced by a strong female character that Kate hates. Bones, Saving Grace, and NCIS all did it already.
-Bones had Cam, who thankfully turned out to be awesome. She replaced Dr. Goodman who I still refer to as "Ed" no matter what he's in because he played Claire's husband Ed in Women's Murder Club. Just like Claire will always be Claire even though she plays Vance's wife on NCIS and a victim's wife on Bones and a cop on Criminal Minds and the chick in the census commercials, yeah, yeah, I know, Move On, I've heard it all.
-Anyway, then there was Lt. Kate Perry on Saving Grace who took over when their old captain got shot in the head in the squadroom only a couple episodes in. The squad of course loved their old captain but Grace had a history with Kate so they got along fine.
-NCIS had Jenny Shepherd ascend to the director spot after the first/second season's dude, who we saw in maybe 10 episodes out of the 2 seasons he was supposed to be the director, retired. That was controversy even though she was pretty kickass.
-Even with The Closer Brenda Leigh was parachuted over all their heads and they hated her. We loved her but they hated her. Now they love her too. Soon she'll be leaving and replaced by someone else as well in the spinoff. And that's gotta be a female lead as well since it's got soooo many male cast members, unless they're leaving too. There's gonna be a lot of pressure for that spinoff since the Closer is so popular. Few spinoffs are as good as the originals. Law and Order SVU is better than the original, but that's just my opinion. And Sketch's. Plus technically, NCIS was introduced through an episode of Jag so I guess you could call that a spinoff. Oh, and what was with that Finder episode of Bones? Totally and completely random. Is that going to be a spinoff as well? They've got the big actors for it so I wouldn't be surprised.
Criminal Minds - Okay, I couldn't resist. Technically this is a spoiler for next season instead of the finale as I didn't watch anything from this season. With good reason. You take away the good main characters to fund a crappy spinoff that was going to fail anyway and the fans protest. And it works!
GUESS WHO'S BACK!
TAKE THAT, CREATIVE REASONS! AJ/JJ and Paget/Prentiss back on CM, Awesomeness! Now I can start watching again. Totally stoked. Now all we need is a new contract for Thomas and we're golden. He's the only one who isn't officially signed on my next season.
Speculation: Gotta kill off Doyle to get Prentiss back. He's the reason they faked her death and she went underground. Only JJ and Hotch know - although, they're a group of profilers so I wouldn't be surprised if some of them don't already know as well. And if they didn't...then they're probably just going to be pissed they weren't told. Morgan especially.
yeah yeah, i didn't watch the show but i read up on it as the season went on, had to know what was going on with the characters i still liked. temporarily felt sad for the temp actress when i read her twitter but i'm past that. AJ/JJ and Paget/Prentiss returning trump any bad emotion left behind from last season.
Felt I should do this now as I haven't really posted posted in a while. Minus the cough medicine night it's mostly just been the highlights and then I'm going to bed now because I have to work and do more homework. Which will pretty much sum up my upcoming week as well. Monday is work then Saltdogs game, huzzah! Tuesday is work then homework then more work, Wednesday is work then teen program for class then WICKED! HUZZAH to that! gonna have to brush up on my wizard of oz beforehand. Thursday is work plus homework and Friday is work plus homework plus finalized posting of all homework. Then Saturday is the last class we have to show up for. Next week we're just posting stuff online by Saturday. I think. Will have to look into that.
Music Rec for the night:
You can't really top last night's, they're actually a really good band. I was impressed by them earlier and again last night. They did Raise Your Glass since her voice was back I was stoked.
"She's got the rhythm, and I got the blues" - Alan Jackson
I've been a fan of Alan Jackson since I was a kid and I still totally jam out when they come up on my ipod. This is one of my favorites. Although, in the video, I'm thinking her dance moves say a lot more than "I'm over you" ...haha. *insert joke about exotic dancers next door* SEE! That still works....even though I don't actually have exotic dancers living next door. At least I think I don't. But I don't really know my neighbors. Hmmm...
And here's an extra Video Rec for you tonight.
Glee interview outtakes "Say what?!"
must watch at least chord's president bush impersonation. duuuude. plus the on set dancing.
