Currently there are two in my closet. I should snap a picture and upload it later. But then they might not change it and then I would be screwed.
Lunch at 3PM roughly translates to peanut butter crackers from the vending machine and Angry Birds on my ipod. Both were enjoyable. I blame my obsession with that game on Superwoman who got me started with it in the first place. But I'm totally kickin' butt.
Sent out mass amounts of emails about the Food Drive - 8 days and counting. I still have no idea how I'm going to collect all that food, collaborate all the barrels and deliver them all by myself. Yikes. I'll have to split the branches up cause they're going to pick them up at two locations. Gonna have to borrow a truck. Last time I had a panic call to my brother in law. Who's awesome. And let me borrow his truck. This time I will be more prepared.
Tomorrow means the inevitable cleaning of the trailer. First we put it off. Then we couldn't find the key. Now we have no choice. Clean it out, count supplies, search for craft/game stuff, stuff it all back in. Plus paperwork. We sent out the majority of the mailings, assigned people to cabins and stations, now all that's left is coming up with a schedule, double checking on t-shirts, finding a second lifeguard, writing skits, checking the budget, and....I'm forgetting something. But did I mention writing skits? Which of course I didn't do last night. Cause I don't know where to start. Will have to do an internet search or look through books at the library for ideas.
Slim Shady gave me an idea about the apartment story saying two tenants should be in love. You know, like the movie "Adam", minus the cleaning windows in a Space Suit... go here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185836/
I'll put one apartment on top of the other and they can have their own balcony scene.

Just Say No! to vending machine orange juice.
Seriously. I had my poptart so I got a bottle of orange juice from the vending machine and spent the day drowning out the taste with Dr. Pepper and gum. Gross. Bitter Central. Yikes.
So, I've found that working in public service has killed my phone-talking skills. Not that I had any to begin with, but like parents will call with questions about camp and I'll say something like "Can I help you with anything else" which just sounds awkward and geeky over the phone, but I'm so used to saying it at work that it just comes out. I guess it's better than "Can I help you find anything else?" which wouldn't really make sense over the phone. There's a reason I keep my phone conversations between my family and Sketch. They already know I'm awkward and geeky.
Speaking of awkward and geeky:
"Where you'll see....ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Because Carmen stole all 162 stones that make up this ancient ruin known as Stonehenge!" Where On Earth is Carmen San Diego isn't as good as the regular series/game aka Where in the World is... Mostly because the Chief is a dude instead of you know, Lynne Thigpen.
She's my definition of the Chief. Other than my best friend growing up. Who I still call Chief. But that's another story.
"Things are getting yucky in Kentucky!" I got the TV series from the library because I like the game. But, much like any of the Super Mario Bros. movies, it's just not the same. It'll go back tomorrow, along with all the other movies I finally watched this weekend.
Now all that's left are "Justified" "Heathers" "The Match Game" "Andy Richter..." and of course "The Wizard of Oz." But, I have tomorrow night as well. Think I'll stick in Warehouse 13 season two instead. I always get distracted with my own stuff.
Today I was all day at the same place and the same for tomorrow. After that is my day off! Which means Camp central aka emailing dude about t-shirt designs, going over new registrations, printing out more forms cause I ran out, printing off all the nametags and shoving them into the lanyards which we'll have to clean out....what else? Oh, going through the trailer. Cause we keep putting that off. Technically we were going to do it last time but we couldn't find the key. Oh and I have to figure out a second lifeguard. Cause one member of the dynamic duo can't make it. Fun times. Oh and the skits. Which of course I haven't started. Who writes those things in advance? I mean, seriously? I think best at 2AM night before. You know, when I'm already there and freaking out because I haven't done them yet. Maybe if I write them beforehand and they don't suck I will post them on here. But don't be surprised if they do suck.
Last year I wrote a decent one - which I would post but it's too long - called "Rapunzel: The Early Years" and it kind of demands a sequel. But I don't know. I'll ask M and see if she'd be interested in seeing it continued as it was her cabin that did it. They got pretty into it, it was amusing actually. "Oh no, I've been sabotaged by a Demon Radish!" This year I only have 3 8th grade girls, so I'd either have to pilfer some of the 7th graders or make the teen helpers do it. We'll see. That got pretty long. And "The Later Years" would be even longer cause you'd have to do the highlights version of "The Early Years" all over again. Like "Previously on Rapunzel, The Life and Times"...
Father - Let’s melt her with water!
Ogre - Good idea!
Mother - Take your squirt gun.
*Sneak to Witch’s house*
Ogre - Singing telegram!
Witch - Singing telegram for me?
*Squirt witch with water*
Witch - You fools! Water does nothing to me! That only works in the movies! There’s nothing you can do! A deal is a deal! Once it’s born, your child will be mine! Mwahahaha!
All - DUN DUN DUNNNN……..
Human - Oh no! She can’t get the child! What kind of ending is that?!
All - Tune in next year for Rapunzel: The Later Years
and then it'd be what like
"19 years later..."
...
....
...
What exactly did Rapunzel do in that tower? I mean, she could only brush her hair for so long... and she couldn't reach all of it, right? So...maybe the Witch became her teacher or something. Tried to teach her the ways of evil but she resisted. She was just too good to do any evil. That's why she locked her in tower!!! No, that's dumb. Umm.... I'm stuck. Email me ideas. You're clever.
And I can't even use my trick! I freaking sabotaged myself! Stupid Demon Radish! Not you M. You're awesome. Just the, you know the, essence of De- I don't know. Curses, foiled again.
See, I have this trick for Writer's Block that goes like this.
It's called "Firsts" - you take the characters and write their First something. Like their first meeting, or their first date, or their first time on a rollercoaster, etc.
But it has to be a First because when you think about it, all good stories are about some sort of First. If people only wrote about what people do everyday with no variation or first time for something or sense of not knowing what's going to happen then all the stories would suck. There has to be some element of "First" in every good story. Which sounds semi-cheesy, I know. But it works for me. Cause it sparks story ideas.
BUT! In this case! I can't use it! Because I already wrote the ultimate freakin' First for this story. I guess I could do like the First time they visited the tower. Or the first time the witch left her alone inside of it. The First time some dude tried to climb up her hair. Okay, plenty of firsts. Maybe one of them will spark something permanent. Off I go. Trying to write while watching Warehouse in the background. One of those won't last very long. Wow. check out the W's in that sentence. write while watching warehouse...okay.
I've lost it.
I need to sign out and start on the freakin' skits.
Or the apartment thing. If you have no idea what I'm talking about go here: My Life in Closed Captions: Choot 'em LizBet!
Oh, I thought up more fun tenants.
And one of them is an assassin. So that's exciting. That was another part of the original inspiration, besides the Exotic Dancers next door jokes. We read this story in Fiction Writing about this office building and it bounced from person to person and one of them is a serial killer. They all know but he hasn't killed any of them so they're fine with it.
this is starting to get super long. if you're still around here are you music rec's for the night:
Just because I can. Don't hurt me tomorrow.
"Spice Up Your Life" - Spice Girls
"We've got a deal!" I love 0:26 and 2:15. Yes that is MeatLoaf dancing at 1:12, and Alan Cumming at 2:11 and James Bond at 2:19.
"I Want You Back" - NSync
90's must have been a space craze - the music video for the song above also involves space ships.
Goodnight Gumshoes!
PS - Oldest Sister started a blog. Wonder where she got that idea? I think I'm toast.

"I've always wanted to use that spell!"
Scale of Awesome says 10/10. Cause really, the end of an era demands a high rating. Plus it deserves it. I'll definitely go see it again. Professor McGonagall stole the show. Joking. But she was hilarious. Maggie Smith is awesome. This role and then her in First Wives Club are my favorites.
And honestly, I know this makes me a bad library person, I hadn't read the book beforehand but I loved going in blind because I didn't know how it ended or who killed who. I do like reading the book beforehand because then you're able to understand more about why the characters are doing the things they do but sometimes knowing everything just kills the movie.
We went to the 3PM showing, got there at 2 and read our magazines and all that. First in line so awesome seats. It wasn't as packed as it will probably be tonight. I was glad that there was humor in this one - not like overwhelming but still there - cause the last one was so dark all the time it was hard to watch.
It's sad that it's over. But alas, she's writing again.
After that - well before that was work 9-1, shelved everything there was to shelve, then hit up the movie after getting lunch and wandering barnes and noble. After the movie we ordered pizza and watched True Grit - "I'm a foolish old man who's been drawn into a wild goose chase by a harpy in trousers and a nincompoop!" hysterical another 10/10 - and Burlesque 7/10 - it's like Coyote Ugly but in Los Angeles instead of New York - We finally just turned off the Best of Match Game 9/10 because I have to work all day tomorrow.
So I'm out.

Now you're gonna hear the second part and that's exactly the same.
Work 9-5 went super fast, beat some levels on angry birds during lunch break, went to oldest sister's to watch Red Riding Hood - it was pretty intense, had to watch whole thing just to figure out who the wolf was, Scale of Awesome says 7/10 - then they went out for sushi and I went with. Now I'm back the apartment cleaning cause Nic is coming tomorrow. We're gonna go see Harry Potter! Got the tickets online, huzzah!
Quote of the Day:
Oldest Brother-in-law: "Getting burned like that would make you bitter."
about anakin skywalker right before he turns into a metal suit.
Okay, so my own family doesn't believe that this is a real thing. So I'm posting it.
Victor Borge is awesome. Seriously.
Anyway, because of inflation he inflates the numbers that are in words. My favorite is lieutenant going to "lieutelevenant".
Another fun one:
Phonetic Punctuation
ha!
But my favorite is this:
"and she comes in in a single pile."
pretty sure i posted this recently. i know it made favorites week. but that was a while ago.
yes, that's where the mozart quote i say all the time comes from. "now the chorus comes in. nobody knows why except mozart and he's dead."
give them a chance uncle steve. they are funny stuff.
okay, out for the night. tomorrow is a halfday then harry potter then movie night or something to that effect. girls night. there. awesomeness. girls night of awesomeness.

No such number, no such zone.
Okay, you can call off your grid-search. I'll be back on the radar for the next couple weeks. After that who knows.
Last night was hands down the worst night I've spent in this apartment. Everything was fine, I fell asleep watching Justified but then my freaking cat woke me up at 4 and for reasons that will go unexplained I couldn't fall back asleep until 6. I was up at 8 for work at 9 where I shelved until 12. By then I was awake and alert and all that. I had my juice. There I stayed until 6 then took a random trip to the farmhouse because I'm stupid at 8 and now I'm finally back here at my apartment at 11:30.
I really have no explanation for today. I worked a lot. Shelved all morning cause there were carts everywhere then was all about the Food Drive in the afternoon whilst working public service. Things are going good, even though Fearless Leader is on vacation. I only ran panic-y and flailing to the basement twice today with questions for last year's co-chair who is seriously awesome and my hero every time I have to try find something in that basement. Boss's Boss's Boss said I was doing good so that's a bonus.
I should really go to bed now. But last night, amongst the awful, were some of the weirdest dreams I've had in a while. I remember cause I wrote them in my phone - as is practice with me. Anyway, one was about Christina Aguilera and Eminem singing "Like a Virgin" together, then in another I got a text message at 3AM from the Library Goddess saying "Reality Sucks" end of message with no explanation, and then in a third something must have really wonked out my brain because I typed
"Gedma thold onto yardsti"
and that was the end of that.
So, if you can translate my sleep-addled brain let me know. I'm curious.
Hahahaha, reading dream log from this day last year, it says "There are two dead bodies under the bed." "It was your bed."
Songs of the Day: Let's go with a throwback.
Leader of the Pack - The Shangri-Las
yeah, he's a total badass. I love her complete lack of emotion at 1:57. fantastic.
I love the description of the video: "They combined an innocent adolescent charm with more than a hint of darkness, singing about dead bikers, teenage runaways, and doomed love affairs as well as ebullient high-school crushes." nice.
Return to Sender - Elvis
Ummm....what's with 1:37? anyone?
out!

T-shirts, Justified, Karen Darling, and Human Candyland
Forgot a quote from yesterday -
Nic: "What do we want to focus on - our complete lack of skills or our ability to have a good time?"
Me: "Both."
we're making t-shirts for the golf tournament and were figuring out nicknames to put on the back of them. i love it. cause yeah, we suck. well, pastor is good. but the rest of us are lacking in....something. but we have a lot of fun. we came in last year and everyone was like "we could hear you across the course!" everyone wants to be on our team.
Today was good. Worked the split shift plus actually got to take a nap between. It was fantastic. Also started watching Justified. I'm liking it. I thought it was gonna be a show about dirty cops because I can't see Timothy Olyphant as anything but a bad guy - except when he was in Hitman which is ironic since he was a Hitman - so it was new seeing him as the protagonist cop transferred from Miami back to his home state of Kentucky. Also new, Natalie Zea's role as his ex-wife. I'm so used to seeing her as the awesomeness that was Karen Darling and to watch her as this like weak female I almost thought it was a different actress. It's like if Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester suddenly had no opinions of her own and just did what people told her to do. Just proves Natalie Zea is that talented. But I'm only two episodes in, so maybe that will change and she'll have some sort of Ugly-Duckling/Beautiful Swan transformation. Or in this case a Winona Hawkins/Karen Darling one.
I'm used to the yelling, strong, slapping people Natalie Zea.
"When I first proposed to you I didn't love you." "Oh, that's okay."
I'd give the show a 7/10 on the Scale of Awesome but I've just started it. Maybe that will change. Still I have to finish Andy Richter Controls the Universe and The Wizard of Oz since those are due soon. I might just order ARCTU off Amazon. Paget is hysterical.
No, I still haven't watched The Closer or Rizzoli and Isles and when I walked in this morning that was the first thing Sensei asked me. I was going to watch them today between shifts but wanted to nap instead. Today was madhouse because it was gameday so there were kids everyone. Super cool because my Glee-loving boss set up Human Candyland. Like with squares and everything. I was super jealous. They drew their card and would go to that color square on the floor - he used colored paper and taped them to the floor all over the library weaving in and out of the aisles. Totally awesome idea.
Songs for the night:
"One Love" Glee
zenned out.
"Angel" Sarah McLachlan
favorite song from high school. feel like i go back to it whenever i'm in one of those moods. like when brenda leigh wears her brown sweater on the closer. security blanket. I love 3:02-3:03 on this version.
I may go off the radar for a few days if tomorrow goes how I think it's going to go. Just a heads up. It's gonna be a full day tomorrow so I'm out. Watch some more ARCTU before I crash. My cat is giving me a massage. He's not gonna like that I have to get up to turn on the TV.
Night!

They drew their card and would go to that color square on the floor - he used colored paper and taped them to the floor all over the library weaving in and out of the aisles. Totally awesome idea.
Songs for the night:
"One Love" Glee
zenned out.
"Angel" Sarah McLachlan
favorite song from high school. feel like i go back to it whenever i'm in one of those moods. like when brenda leigh wears her brown sweater on the closer. security blanket. I love 3:02-3:03 on this version.
I may go off the radar for a few days if tomorrow goes how I think it's going to go. Just a heads up. It's gonna be a full day tomorrow so I'm out. Watch some more ARCTU before I crash. My cat is giving me a massage. He's not gonna like that I have to get up to turn on the TV.
Night!

They did the mash.
Wow camp filled day. Started around 10:30 ended around 8:30. Granted we did get distracted a time or two, but we talked to her our tshirt dude sent him the numbers, assigned counselors and campers to cabins, printed out and stuffed all the return letters into envelopes. He'll mail them later. So yeah, pretty productive.
We did take a break to order our golf tshirts. We are the 2G, don't ask, and our shirts are gonna be bright orange with our nicknames on the back. I'm still working on mine. Nothing can really beat Blackstone or Dash Riprock. If you have any suggestions send them my way.
Tomorrow is back to the split shift. Think I'll nap between. I'm exhausted and I sat in the air conditioning all day!
Quotes today:
Dad: "And! If that fails! We'll put Mom out there with a shotgun!"
dad is determined to keep the racoons away from the corn.
Mom: "Tell him he's wonderful for staying to work on that so late. Oh, and you're great too."
Me: "Thanks Mom."
thanks mom.
And...Just because I can.
"Locomotion" Kylie Minogue
probably my favorite video ever. cause i'm a nerd. at least its my favorite that i've posted. i listened to it pretty much every night for the whole summer i lived with grams. again, i'm a nerd. no idea why.
"Monster Mash" Bobby "Boris" Pickett
mwahahaha.
OUT!

Choot 'em LizBet!
Wow. A day off. So this is what that feels like.
It was an awesome one, hung around the apartment, ate breakfast for lunch/dinner, watched a Harry Potter marathon. Carter and I jammed out and napped on the couch. Plus I did some writing. I've started on a new story and am thinking about linking it to one of my old ones that I'm stuck on.
Basically, the idea is to write a group of short stories or one long story about an apartment building. Not like the physical building but the people who live in it. Like one story will be about one apartment and the next will be about their neighbors and just move on and then somehow bring them together in the end. Maybe it'll be crap but it's just an idea. And I'm blaming it on Superwoman since the idea originated from all the "Exotic Dancers next door" jokes from when we went to see our friend's band play at a bar.
Go here for my favorite of their songs: My Life in Closed Captions: Can I Keep You - Some Assembly Required plus a list of a bunch of library goddess quotes. Ha!
Anyway, there were exotic dancers in the bar next door so we made jokes and it just makes me wonder about my neighbors. Maybe I do have exotic dancers next door. Cause really, what do you really know about your neighbors? I've talked to maybe one of them. And I've been here over a year.
I'm still debating if I want to link it to my old story. I mean, I could, cause they live in an apartment and it's a story all about them. So I could start on one about their neighbors. Maybe. I don't know. But it's kind of cool mapping out an apartment and deciding who lives in the building and what might be going on in their lives. Or maybe it'll be dumb. I'll keep you posted. I still have no idea how I'll bring them all together in the end. Maybe I'll burn the place down. No, that'd just be mean.
I'm watching Swamp People with Dad. It's sad, I'm hooked. What's more sad?...I've seen all the episodes on the DVR. Now I'm re-watching them. It's just so like just whoa. You know? Like, I could never do that. Ever. And I know that the show is ridiculous, but I still can't help but stare.
Music of the day:
when all else fails do the time warp again.
Glee does the Time Warp from Rocky Horror
and Damnit Janet
quits halfway thru but is still hysterical.
love the three in the background, almost as good as the original. janet....janet....janet....awesome.
Alright, gonna hit the sack soon since tomorrow's gonna be camp central. Forms, assignments, t-shirts and possibly cleaning out the trailer.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Andy: "The imaginary dead guy was right."
DVD review of Andy Richter Controls the Universe- it's fantastic. Scale of Awesome says 8/10 I'm seriously dying from laughter. ...Yeah, you've probably never heard of it. Go here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307716/
Jessica: "I have never been so alert. Coffee should be drinking me!"
Andy Richter plays Andy Richter who's a writer working for this huge company. He writes manuals and he goes to his office one morning and there's another dude in there, claiming it's his office. Turns out this dude is going to illustrate the manuals and at first Andy plots on how to get this guy fired so he can get his office back but then they become friends so that doesn't last long.
Wendy: "She's like the terminator except she's not from the future and she likes to dance!"
Paget Brewster plays Jessica Green, which of course, is the reason that I picked it up in the first place, well, ordered it through interlibrary loan. Pure awesomeness.
Jessica: "Oh yeah, I, I meant to erect a monument to that conversation but I couldn't find a grate of marble boring enough."
Anyway, it's fantastic. Paget is their boss, well, their supervisor Jessica. Also important are Keith, the good-looking best friend of Andy's played by James Patrick Stewart, and Andy's love interest Wendy, the new receptionist, aka actress Irene Molloy, who's in a relationship with Keith. So that's awkward. But only lasts like the first two episodes. The illustrator who he wants to get fired but then turns out to be okay is named Byron, and he's played by Jonathan Slavin who's pretty much a pro at the whole awkward dude role. Oh right, and the imaginary dead dude mentioned earlier is the founder of Andy's company. He's been dead for like years...and I have no idea who plays him so I'd have to look that one up.
Wendy: Where's your lipstick?
Jessica: In my purse.
Wendy: Where's your purse?
Jessica: I don't know. All around my lipstick.
But the great thing about Andy is that he's a writer, so half the show is like all these scenarios kind of like, I could have done this...but what I really did was this.
Wendy: "Puppies, yeah, I think they're great!"
Wait....Is that Kirk? Oh my god, he's everywhere!! Gilmore Girls Kirk makes an appearance as Andy's neighbor and old frat buddy from college. That's interesting.
Jessica Green: Do not ask her out.
Andy Richter: Why not?
Jessica Green: Because you're gonna go out a few times, then you'll break up. She'll feel hurt, you'll feel guilty and I'll feel dirty because no one will be cleaning my apartment.
That's my favorite episode so far because it has Lola Glaudini in it as the maid. Lola was in Criminal Minds before Paget came on, she played Elle Greenaway - actually Paget came in to replace her mid-second season after Elle went off the reservation and shot Jason London....who was also in Out Cold with AJ Cook aka the AJ of AJ/JJ in Criminal Minds... Sorry, I watch too many movies/tv shows.
SQUARE!: It's funny to see Paget and Lola in a comedy together instead of like two dramatic cops.
Okay, here's part two of the "Best of" cause it's funnier than part one.
"......i sent a memo....." "Yeah, Tim Stalin in accounting...that was the worst Stalin I could think of."
A lot more second season than first though. I got the complete series from ILL. gonna have to buy it off amazon.
love it.
Oh right, today, so I worked 9-6 all at the small branch. And the cool thing about working with Sensei is that she's a cool boss. Sometimes you know if you're one on one with a boss you're like under pressure to do everything right but I feel none even though technically I'm at the bottom of the totem pole there. Well, the top of the totem pole I guess since that phrase is actually inaccurate.
Okay, gonna watch more now. Cause I'm hooked. And I'm free. For tomorrow and Monday. Free like a bird. Be free! Be free birds! I don't know where I was going with that. Maybe to drive a bus or something. I'm still sad about Jack the Pigeon. Totally depressing. I killed a bird. Sort of. I mean, I didn't physically kill it. But it did ride with me from work to my apartment where it died in my parking lot. So, it's partially my fault. Cause he's dead. And that's sad.
Wendy: "Jessica...harrassment has the word 'ass' right in the middle of it...it's like the guys who made it up were trying to give you a big clue..."
Okay, life is good. Have Sunday and Monday off. Sunday is vacation time cause I don't get that ever and Monday is all about camp. Huzzah! I'm out.
Oh right, music. Um. Right.
Bills, Bills, Bills - Glee Cast Version
pretty sure the last time I posted this somebody was mad at me the next day cause it was stuck in their head. so i'm sorry. hope it doesn't happen again.
now i'm out.
SQUARE!!
haha, i'm diggin it.

Circles, Squares and Ugly Women, Oh My!
I was told today that I'm "social". Yuck! That's just mean. And they wouldn't take it back! But it got me thinking, in that building I'm a totally different person. It's funny, Superwoman told me once that being in public service is a lot like being an actress. And it's so true. I get it now. Me, outside the library, totally different than the "actress" on the inside. Not that I'm a bad person. I'm just...antisocial. I prefer being by myself at my apartment not talking to people. I mean, I like my friends and I like hanging out with my friends and my family they're fun. But being told that I'm suddenly this extraverted social person is like a slap in the face. Like a big wake up call. I don't know how else to describe it and I know that sounds ridiculous, but it just proves how much I've changed. In college I had like 3 main friends. And they were pretty much the only people I talked to until senior year. Everyone else was a friend from high school. Then again I hated college so maybe that was a part of it.
And now I'm just rambling in a big circle that really has no point. Cause that's what a circle is. A never ending round thing with absolutely no point. So I should jump out of the circle and into a square. Cause that has like, four points. Yeah, didn't see that coming did you? Neither did I, moving on.
None of this post is going to make any sense whatsoever, just so you know. You should probably just skip down to the bottom right now.
SQUARE!
So, a supervisor at work, who I didn't know before we switched to the new system but now I think is awesome - the supervisor, not the system but I'll get there - anyway, I follow her around with applause literally because she's saved me on multiple occasions. But yeah, she told me today I "done good." I was like super excited. Cause I'm a nerd. And social apparently, but mostly a nerd. She said she knows she can count on me to test stuff with the new system. And this week I've decided that I'm going to stop complaining about the new system. Because, guess what, we're not going back to the old one. So either you can whine and complain because of the change or you can just go with it. I've decided to just go with it and find out any shortcuts I can and pass them on. Which is why the supervisor likes me. Cause I don't complain about the system. Or I've stopped complaining about the system, let's go with that. More rambling, freaking circle.
SQUARE!
Our security guard asked me for gum and while I went to get it I said to cover for me. So she came around and sat at the desk - decked out in her security uniform - and pretended to work. I snapped a picture and sent it to Superwoman. Her response was Quote "Damn the place is going to the cops." End Quote. I died.
SQUARE!
Maintenance people came over to put curtains up today but could only do the ones in the bedroom cause the brackets weren't long enough to cover the blinds in the living room. Then, I went over to Oldest Sister's place and we got new brackets and then pizza and beer and all that stuff then they came back here and we watched Match Game while oldest brother-in-law attempted to put up the curtains with the new brackets...which were now too small. So first too short, and now too small...and now I just have a bunch of brackets that don't work. So hopefully oldest-brother-in-law will be able to return the ones we got tonight. Cause yeah, brackets, what am I gonna do with brackets... freaking circle.
SQUARE!
Pretty sure it was Jack the pigeon dead in the parking lot last night but the cool aunt says that Jack simply left because he wanted a hot dog or to go and drive a bus. I was proud of her Mo Willems references. Made me smile.
Oh crap! I gotta email a chick about camp forms. And text mom about the curtains cause I forgot. Circle! Geez!
This is like another one of those write as you go along ones like I did with the booktalk writing. Usually I have things planned out. Not tonight. Circle.
Hey look, four SQUARE points. I should really just end this post now. Cause it's not gonna go anywhere else. We watched the boobs episode of Match Game tonight while they were here. It's funny. And yes, that's the only way I can name that episode, I'm pretty sure I posted that clip yesterday...or the day before but you should watch it if you haven't already. Fannie is awesome. "I said berries" I died.
Okay, before I ring around the circle again I'll hit you with a music rec and get the heck offa this keyboard before I say something stupid...er... than I've said earlier.
hmmm.... music.... oh!
I've heard this song like five times in the past couple weeks. And before this week I haven't heard it in like years. I mean, I have it on my computer cause it's from a soundtrack I own. But yeah, today brought it all back yet again this week.
Enjoy.
"If you wanna be happy" Jimmy Soul
this song is just mean. but funny. but still really mean. I like the screaming part from 1:38-the end. "YOUR LIFE!.....YOUR WIFE!....OF VIEW!....get an ugly girl to marry you...."
Name that soundtrack. I'll give you a hint.
"The moment I wake up.........before I put on my makeup........"

that's your horoscope for today.
There's a dead bird in my parking lot. I'm too scared to go see if it's Jack. Is that a bad omen? The bird that rides home with you on your car turns up dead in your parking lot the next day? I mean, it can't be a good sign. What does that signify exactly? Maybe I should read my horoscope and see what it says.
"Thursday, Jul 7th, 2011 -- You reserve the right to be different today as spacey Uranus activates beautiful Venus in your 5th House of Romance. You aren't interested in being just like everyone else, so show off the twinkle in your eyes and enjoy the bounce in your step. Don't be afraid to move to the rhythm of music that no one but you can hear."
Well....that was helpful. Although I do dance, mostly while shelving, randomly.
"That's Your Horoscope For Today" Weird Al
Harry Potter version. Love it. Until the end prediction thing, creepy.
or here's another
awesome video, wish I was that talented.
So I did it. Wore the cowboy boots the whole day without tripping or falling. I was proud of myself. Oldes Sister showed up to work and took a pic then sent it to Second Sister so there's visual proof. Huzzah!
Went over to Oldest Sister's house for dinner, we watched Date Night and CaddyShack plus finally uploaded all my camp stuff. She made salmon. It was fantastic.
Now I'm gonna watch Warehouse 13 - watching the bloopers Laura Harris has one! Huzzah! But no matter who she plays she'll always be Jill to me. Look it up.
Tomorrow the maintenance people will hopefully be here to put up my curtains. Oldest Sister is gonna jam out here while I'm gone. Should be fun.
Alright, I'm outta here!

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun...pigeons, work, match game and cowboy boots
I drove a pigeon home with me today. Literally. He was on my car when I got in it at work and literally rode on my hood/windshield all the way to my apartment. I called him Jack. He had some serious balancing skills. When I got in I honked, you know expecting that would scare him off, but no. Then I turned on my windshield wipers - but no matter how many times I honked, windshield-wiped, and sprayed him with that water stuff that goes along with the windshield wipers he wouldn't leave. So I drove home. And yeah, he stayed. And, of course, when I got here I expected him to jump off then, but no. He was still on my car when I went back out to go to Target like an hour later. But yeah, as cool as Jack was, that wasn't happening again so I pushed him off. He landed okay and walked away. Headed toward a black bird. No idea what type it was. But I know this one was a pigeon cause I got up close and personal with it. Took pictures and everything. Oh, I should upload one.
Yes, Jack rocked the ride. I wonder if he'll still be in my parking lot tomorrow morning.
Today was good. Superwoman called this morning asking if I could work all day Saturday, then called again half an hour later telling me I work too much and made me take Sunday and Monday off. Apparently I spend too much time there. or there(s) since I work at two branches. I don't know, that didn't make any sense to me either and I wrote it. Anyway, I was thinking today - that's new, I know - that I used to be like the laziest person ever. I was content to stay on the farm, live with my parents and move pipe for a living. Because it was like a month in the summer. Maybe. And then I was done. Now, if I were to have to go back to that I would go nuts with boredom. I like staying busy. And while 2 jobs, taking classes for my master's and directing a kids camp - plus other random kid-directing-related jobs aka plays, VBS, etc. - may sound daunting, I've adjusted and I like it.
Clips of the Day:
Yay for more Match Game!
Okay, so this is my favorite moment in all of Match Game. We watched this episode right before my Delayed...Reaction partner and I went to Scaryoke dressed as Charles Nelson Reilly and Brett Somers.
He went around all night calling himself an actor of the "legitimate theatre." I laughed.
Fannie's answer is my favorite, seriously hysterical, I died on the spot. But when we asked that question to the people at Scaryoke this one dude said "baskets" and I lost it then too.
"Third Rock From The Sun" Joe Diffie
apparently their label made this giant globe to promote the video and a bunch of college kids stole it and rolled it down the street...haha.
Okay, so it's on. Tomorrow I'm wearing the boots to work. It's a short day so I'm going all in. Because SOME people don't think I can do it. And now they demand pictures as proof. So, if I see some of you tomorrow and you catch me pointing my phone at my feet there is a reason! well, this time there's a reason, but anyway I'm doing it! And I'll post the pics tomorrow as proof as well. I'm sure some of you have faith in me.
Alright, gonna watch some more Match Game and work on some of these camp application. They're coming in hoards now that we're past the due date. Which is usually what happens.
Have a good one!

I love the smell of gunpowder in the evening.
Huzzah for too many fireworks.
Okay, so not a full post tonight, just a quick update to let you know that I made it through both the wedding and the 4th. And I'll post tomorrow all about the shenanigans involved in both. Lots of fun.
And, just so you know, I would totally wear those cowboy boots to work tomorrow if it wasn't going to be such a long day. I'm proud of those calluses.
So yeah, this week it'll be wedding/4th/warped central. And I'll even post some pics because some of you *cough*uncletheartist*cough* don't have Facebook and won't see them there.
Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th!

banjos duel as grandma has an unfortunate encounter with a reindeer.
I love my job. Just gonna put that out there. Today the Queen of Awesome brought me super hero crazy bands so I went around today with Iron Man, Captain America and Spiderman.
And it was super funny this morning because it was our Post-4th-of-July party and my Glee-Loving Boss made a bracelet out of pipe-cleaner and beads, hands it to me and says, "Here, you can't say I never gave you jewelry."
Another thing I love about my job - interlibrary loan. Currently I'm watching Best of Match Game. The pilot isn't as funny but it has Brett Somers' husband on it. He agreed to do it if they let Brett join the show as well. Every answer he has he makes fun of his wife. Funny stuff.
Okay, so if you haven't seen the pictures on Facebook that I was tagged in - I haven't posted mine yet - for the love of God do it now. That way we can get over it and move on faster. Yes, I wore a dress. No, that's not happening again anytime soon. I will, however, wear the cowboy boots to work. I'm thinking Thursday since it's my shorter day.
The wedding was awesome. Outdoor on a ranch, seriously pretty. There was a slight rain delay but it was a baseball wedding so they're used to those. Well, not like a baseball themed wedding but the groom is a baseball coach and their family is linked to the SF Giants. The bride was super calm the whole time, no bridezilla moments even when he sat around in the basement for like 4 hours.
After I got back it was fireworks central. And me and my niece and nephew are pretty goofy so Oldest Sister took a lot of pictures of us posing. There's a super awesome one of me and M holding confetti guns and looking like we're gonna peek around the corner of it and attack. Definitely one to post on here. It's my profile pic on Facebook. Plus Charlie's Angels with J. "It's Bubby's Angels. Who the heck is Charlie?" This is second general CA, I went as Dylan with my two friends as the other angels. We had shirts made and everything. Love it.
Other fun quotes:
-"Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water." I had this neverending fountain in the road and a car pulled up and sat there for like five minutes then when it looked like the fountain was done he passed it and right at that moment it started shooting a bunch of stuff again right as he was passing it. Awesomeness.
-"Not as comfortable with strobes up your butt?" I sat down to watch the finale and the chair was super uncomfortable.... yeah forgot to take the bag of strobe lights out of my back pocket. After that it was much better.
-"I feel bad drinking out of this. But Jesus drank wine! So its okay." Sister-In-Law and I got koozies at the parade and they had religious stuff on them. We used them to hold our alcohol.
How does one "Watch their language". Just curious.
Songs from the weekend
"Dueling Banjos." Deliverance
A dedication for Beej who spent an hour trying to think of the title of this movie. We knew it was one word so we kept guessing titles that sounded western.
That kid is awesome.
"Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" - Dr. Elmo
was stuck in my head all day today. I have no idea why or where it came from. No grandma or reindeer books at all.
I swear it sounds like he's saying Grandpa got run over and not Grandma but I'm going with it.
I love 0:58. Pause. Turn. Sing. SEND THEM BACK!
Alright, all for tonight. Today was 9-12, 1-5 and 6-8 so I'm gonna was MG and crash.
