and the mutants over at table nine.

Took a night off yesterday as I didn't have much to say.

Not that that's changed today.

Slept in - only worked 12-4 - then got to lead a comps review. Well, the Library Goddess was technically in charge as we did it over speakerphone but I had half and she had half.

Except I'm not taking comps yet so I don't have the links. But they did so we were fine. It was a good group, pretty self-sufficient so it was fun.

After that Smo came over, she has class in town tomorrow so she's staying over.

We watched some Storage Wars and 2 Broke Girls after realizing that out the 26 people that graduated half of them are already married or engaged.

But that's huge cause like 2 years ago there were only 2 of us married.

To each other.

It's amusing to look back at those yearbooks and see how much people have changed.

Thinking back I wanted to teach high school English.

Now I sort of do.

I got the Teen Advisory Board and I work in Lit so I'm calling it a win.

No, I was in the ed program but dropped it after realizing how many hoops you have to jump through to get your degree. English was good enough for me and I'm glad I dropped it cause then I wouldn't be in the library world today.

I'm excited about the library world this week. Tomorrow is my night off so hopefully I'll be able to see the boyfriend, but Wednesday and Thursday I'm touring some sweet special libraries for class. Secret passage ways, ghost stories, etc. More on that later.

With these 2 online courses there's been some interesting stuff so far as well. We're working on this "story behind a story" project where you pick something in the news and then tie it with other links you think match so like if you were focusing on Sandy Hook you could talk about gun control, grief counseling, etc.

I'm thinking of going with the whole Obama thinking football is too dangerous. We do live in the center of Husker Nation where the majority of the residents are Husker fanatics - leaving out half my colleagues of course - but I'm thinking I can include stuff about concussions side effects, maybe statistics on injuries, talk about the history of football safety standards - the evolution of helmets and padding, etc.

We have to have 5 links and create a source ourself so you may be getting a blog entry on something of the like so I can link to it.

So here's your forewarning.

Don't know, it sounds fun and that's what I was going for. It's gotta be a national/international news thing that's relevant to our patron base. And really that's all I could think of that I found legitimately interesting.

I'll keep you posted on the progress I'm sure.

Alright, on to the music.

Watching The Wedding Singer so you're getting some 80's awesomeness.

You Spin Me Right Round - Dead or Alive

rockin' the purple jacket

I love this movie. Total 10/10 on the Scale of Awesome. Adam and Drew were great.

Grow Old With You - Adam Sandler

"NO WAY!"

he's actually a really good singer, especially in this movie. think he was a wedding singer in a past life.

one of my favorite drew movies.

and love them reunited in 50 First Dates

plus i totally saw Billy Idol live at Warped Tour back in '05. He's wicked.

legitimate pre-midnight post. holy crap tag in use.

You spin me round with your pop muzik.

I was totally productive today! I know, shocker! But it was camp central! After work central. Shelved everything except the picture books since we're out of room. Gonna have to figure out what to do about that tomorrow.
Anyway, it was totally camp central. Wrote out the application forms, talked to my partner in crime, and Pastor, sent the new forms to him to hand out tomorrow at his meeting, plus to our website guy and a bunch of teachers in our district so they can promote it. Picked a few dates for a possible meeting - which needs to happen soon - and started a new folder for all incoming stuff. It sounds a lot simpler than it actually was. Or maybe not.
Now I'm starving. Woops, forgot about supper...Mmmm...cereal sounds good...
But now, aside from starting to write the skits, I just prep for the meeting which means working on a schedule and looking at the budget.

Oh, also bought the new Word program so I'm having SOOO much fun updating each individual word/works file on my computer. Ugh.

Yay a preview for Pirates! Gonna be weird without Orlando and Keira.

Songs for the night:
"Pop Muzik" - M

awesome song and video - favorite memory was when I was at my sister's and I taught my niece and nephew (aged 2 and 3 at the time) the refrains and they were running around the house singing "shoo-be-doo-be-doo-wop" "bop-bop-shoo-wop"


and, oh my god, have you SEEN THIS VIDEO?!
"You Spin Me Round" Dead or Alive

that's just fantastic.


and i'm out.
