I need new dishes.
Yes, I know you gave me some but 2 of them broke, the third ran off with the crazy ex-boyfriend and the fourth is in the dishwasher. Now I'm just left with that plastic stuff. So you're taking me dishware shopping. Just dishware. Not clothingware.
"Just Go With It"
Loving library DVD's
Starring three of my favorite people - Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman plus Dave Matthews, Brooklyn Decker and Nick Swardson
Danny's (Sandler) fiance cheats on him, so he drinks away his sorrows in a bar, while there he meets a nice girl and realizes that wearing a ring and claiming that his wife is horrible to him will get him women. As time goes on he gets more women and has a different fake wife story every week. Danny is a plastic surgeon, his single mother assistant is Katherine aka Aniston who knows everything about him and, after he meets the girl of his dreams and she thinks he's actually married, suggests she tell the girl he's getting a divorce. The girl, Palmer played by Decker, seems to take it well but says she needs to hear it from the wife. As there is no wife Danny talks Katherine into being his fake wife, "I want to ceate the illusion i had a hot first wife!", and after she slips up about having kids her kids get involved in the whole fake family. And then there's Eddie, Danny's cousin who's mostly for comic relief. But the preview basically tells you all that.
I'm giving it a 8/10 on the Scale of Awesome. Actually watching it again right now. It's actually a semi-family friendly movie, and with Happy Madison in charge you know you're gonna get the usuals Kevin Nealon, Allen Covert, but no Rob Schneider or Kevin James. It was a good break from the hectic day kind of movie. Funny but not over the top, trying to hard kind of stuff. The cousin is hysterical, Swardson did an awesome job with an accent and just body language - I don't want to give anything away, but watch the movie.
"Why do you keep calling me Henderson?"
"Just go with it."
Was excited to see Nicole Kidman back in a comedy - yes I'm one of those Moulin Rouge crazies, she's one of my favorites, as is Ewan McGregor. The fact that he's in Star Wars just makes him that much more awesome.
He also starred in this reality show called "the Long Way Down" which was him and his friend driving motorcycles all the way through some country. They stop at all these remote places and meet unique people, I'm on the list for it, I'll keep you posted. There's also a book about the whole thing as well with pictures and fun anecdotes.
But yes, rent Just Go With It from the library, it's free and it's funny. Plus you'll understand why it's so fun to substitute real words with "Devlin". Vernacular skills rock.
Loved the Adam Sandler Jennifer Aniston dynamic just because they're so good at comedy and this one especially because they just went back and forth the whole time.
"...Mix that with the smell of like a dead cat and some fajitas and you've got what you call yourself a a severly diminished libido."
Song of the night:
"Mockingbird" Carly Simon and James Taylor
dad made me listen to this over and over. guess that's where i get the repeating playlists thing from.

Oh, the poor tarp people. Ninjutsu!
Today's Highlights include:
-Worked 9-5, flew by
-Got to help train The New Guy. Which is his nickname for now. I'm stoked cause I'm no longer the newest hire at the desk. He's actually pretty wicked awesome. I love it cause we're able to have a completely adult conversation about libraries, serving the public, demographics, collection management, system changes, just everything professional and then we jump to "What would you do if you had 100 million dollars?" I said I wanted a big big screen TV, an extensive DVD collection and a comfortable chair. That was apparently too small. Little Shelver Boy says he'd level one of the buildings nearby and turn it into his own personal library. New Guy says he'd donate 10 million to the library - can't hurt with your taxes - to refurbish ours, then build a new one that's a big circle with glass windows. I said he had to throw in some greenery. And a nice parking lot. Or a parking garage.
-Heard back from the Library Goddess and Superwoman so plans will be implemented, we'll see what happens. Sophie's Choice here I come.
-Getting a gang together to go see The Help, I'm all for a good distraction.
-Went to my niece's soccer game, she rocked it scoring the ONLY GOAL with her left foot. Total pro.
-Decided to hit up a Saltdogs game on sort of a spur of the moment kind of thing and it was awesome! We had our usuals - my hotdogs and margarita, Oldest Sister had her nachos, dip-n-dots and Chelada, M had cheesefries and a pop then some dip-n-dots. We did miss out on the funnelcakes though. Saltdogs were dominating and every run scored meant music which meant dancing - cause you can't disrespect the dance - and Oldest Sister taping us do the Rush Hour dance, you know the one.
1:41-1:51 best part of the movie
Then the Pheasants - yes the Pheasants - tied us at 7 in the 4th and then it was like
Little sprinkle of rain.
...
More little sprinkles of rain.
...
Torrential downpour.
Seriously.
So we ran for cover, standing behind this tarp banner thing that blocked most of the wind and rain but had holes in it so the back of my legs were just soaked.
Wind was a tree breaker - as they'd say on Swamp People...(when the alligators would break the tree branch off in order to escape.) Cause there were branches all over the highway on the way home.
Total madhouse. I ran into the apartment, saving my ipod, phone, notebooks and all that. The best part was that the guys behind us were looking at the radar and said, "Oh yeah, it's gonna miss us." Then they left. Cheaters.
But the poor tarp people. Oh man. It took them like 20 minutes to get the thing unrolled.
Songs of the night: aka the ones I jammed out to on the rainy drive back home
"Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'" Journey live in '79
pretty sure there's lipsyncing involved in this one.
"Tequila" The Champs
what are the words again?
"Ninjutsu!" TMNT version.
sorry, just had to.
Tomorrow's weird cause I get an actual lunch break. 12-2. Plus finding parking. But still, weird. I'll take it.
Me and my big fat cat are out of here. Gonna watch the new Warehouse - which I keep saying that I'm going to but never get to it - and crash. It looks kind of like a Halloween episode - which I guess, if you think about it, every episode could be a Halloween episode, but in this one they get sucked into this video game thing or something and they'll all in costume. And no, it's not gonna be like Tron. Or Tron Legacy. Cause they're awful. And Warehouse is awesome. Totally stoked, wore my Claudia shirt to work the other day but masked it with a dress shirt over the top. Rocked it.
More to come.

I guess she’s an X-Box and I’m more an Atari
But the way you play your game ain’t fair.
True dat.
The writer monkey has struck again - keeping this semi-short so I can get back to that while the muse is still here.
I’m in a quandary. A Sophie’s Choice sort of situation. Sort of. I mean, I might be in one. It depends. There are two things that I might have to choose between. And it’s hard to choose between two things that mean a lot to you, you know? And it’s like Sophie’s Choice – except that Sophie’s Choice is long and depressing and then longer and more depressing and then you think it’s over but it’s actually not cause you’re only 2 hours in and haven’t even gotten to the part where she has to make the freaking choice let alone know what she’s freaking choosing about so you stick with it even though it gets even longer and even more depressing. Then! After she makes the choice it’s too painful to watch the rest of the movie – which is at least another half an hour long – so you change the channel and put on a comedy just to get those awful thoughts out of your head. Sorry Mom, I refuse to watch it ever again. Just no.
See, rambling, writer monkey, moving on.
SQUARE!
But this is a whole Might situation, maybe I won’t have to choose because you know there are other people out there who are smarter and qualified and all that… but still, it’s there, looming in the background. Now it just depends on what the Library Goddess has to say. After that it’s Superwoman and then me. But I have a few days to get it all figured out.
SQUARE!
You know how hard it is to be in 3 places at once? Today I was on the phone on the second floor while helping a patron on the first floor and checking other patrons out at the desk. I find that I’ve changed a lot since I’ve started working there just because it’s so hectic all the time and if I don’t know what I’m doing I have enough acting ability to pretend like I do. It’s like the me vs. qualified people thing again. I’m a Professional BS-er which really is just another term for “English Major”. I’m owning up to it. Before I was just a nerdy loner chick who ate lunch in her car. Oh don’t awww me, it’s better than the cliché lunch tray in the bathroom thing.
But it’s best if you seem confident in what you’re doing and remain positive, especially about the new system - it just makes us look bad if you bash it in front of the patrons. I use the words “quirks” as in “we’re still figuring out its quirks”, “wonky” as in “since we switched over the self-checks have been a bit wonky” and “we’re working on it” as in “we’re working on it” – well, “they’re working on it” a lot but it seems better than just bashing it and hoping to go back. Cause we’re not going back. I spend the majority of my downtown just figuring out shortcuts and doing random searches to see how best to navigate the catalog, but I’m a nerd like that.
And somebody! I ain’t mentioning names! Has branded me “Koha Whisperer” and 1-800’s me whenever there’s a problem. So I have to at least know a little bit about what I’m explaining. One of these days I’m just gonna write a handbook, print it off, highlight stuff and hang it around the desks. Then I can just walk by, point to a piece of paper and continue shelving.
But I like being the expert, it makes me feel useful, especially since I’m lowest on the food chain there. I don’t think I’ve ever been the expert on anything relevant to daily life. I mean other than movies, TV, music or anything Drew Barrymore. Which was daily life before I got the job. Jobs.
SQUARE!
So, remember how yesterday I ended with the whole gonna finish that freaking puzzle thing? And then of course I didn't finish the freaking puzzle, I watched a movie instead - my motivation can only last so long which is why I'm typing so fast in hopes that I'll keep working on that damn apartment story after posting this, where was I?
Oh right, well I'm glad I didn't finish it cause this morning I woke up and Carter had destroyed the whole freaking thing. Like there are pieces of it all over my living room. So yeah, either he's taking out his rage/energy on tiny chunks of cardboard because they're a stationary target or he's some sort of cosmic judge saying that I've taken too long to put together a "simple" 300 piece puzzle and now as punishment for putting it off I get total annihilation instead. Thanks dude.
Or maybe he just knows me well enough that he knows I'll keep putting it off and putting it off and eventually get tired of it being in the way so I'll put it back in the box and throw it in the corner anyway. So really, he could be saving me hassle in the future. Or he's a punk.
It's an either/or situation.
It's not actually.
I already know he's a punk. Much like my work friends already know I'm crazy. There's no either/or involved in that.

At least he's a cute punk. A big, fat, lazy, sleeps on my stomach, cute punk.

Songs of the day:
“Imagine” Glee version
This scene still makes me cry.
“Forget You” Glee version
Totally have been neglecting my Gwyneth’s One Name Campaign thing as in “that’s so Gwyneth!” - will have to start using that again. It’s pretty much the equivalent of Wicked Awesome.
Everyone can use some Gwyneth in their life. Especially now that school is starting again and all that. People are in this sort of mood. Like somber mood. Gonna shake them up with some Gwyneth. Maybe that'll be my slogan for the campaign. "Shake up your day with some Gwyneth." She does have a multi-million dollar music deal on the table. She will soon be gracing our radios - and my ipod - huzzah!

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it.
Oh my god, my hair is too long. I need to chop it off. Not like chop it all off, just a substantial amount of it. It needs to go away. I didn't even realize it was this long until I did the Saving Grace braid - yes, I'm back on that binge, it happens once a year around this time. I have the series, stupid ending included...just mean. I mean, how else would you end it? But still. I don't like it. - and it took forever! The braiding I mean. So yes, I needs to go away. Sometime soon. I miss the red. Now it's all blonde. Seriously. Cause apparently after the red fades it turns blonde.
It was like phonecall-central today.
Highlights include:
-"You're the cool aunt." I try.
-Dad's voicemail: "Dude," yes I'm Dude, "There's some new episodes of Swamp People on tonight. I'm recording it. Bye." Hangs up. Seriously. That was the voicemail, I love it.
-Saltdogs game = Saturday. Every year we siblings go to a Saltdogs game in celebration of my brother and brother-in-law's birthday. There is much drinking, eating hotdogs, dancing and joking involved. And yes, dancing. You can't disrespect the dance.
-"I am toneless."...
-"I am grief-stricken." "I thought you were toneless." "That was 30 seconds ago. Now I am grief-stricken."
I enjoy the word "stricken" it's just fun to say. Especially if you say it in a grief-stricken tone.
-"This is my valley girl tone."
Sketch loves me. She even said so. After I was silent for like 2 minutes. She caved. Yay!
Took a nap today, it was awesome. And got started on Six Feet Under. Scale of Awesome says 7/10, I mean, it's pretty good. Basically this funeral director dies and leaves his business to his kids, one of them already works there but the other is like the left home as soon as he could, then there's a daughter who's a stoner and an employee who's off the wall and then the mother who's been having an affair with this other dude for like years. It's funny. Like dark funny since it's about a funeral home. I'm debating if I want to stick with it. I mean, it's good, but there's a lot of seasons and I don't know if it's that that good. Yes, that that good.
But that's the bonus of a split shift. You pick something up in the morning, try it in the afternoon, if it sucks you return it at night, if it's awesome you order the next season. Plus you can nap. I love naps. As does my big fat cat.
Song of the day:
"Ice Ice Baby" Vanilla Ice
there's also a version of this song sang by Jim Carrey on youtube that I highly encourage you to check out.

Okay, I'm on a mission. Gonna finish this freaking puzzle. I'll put on the new episode of Warehouse - it's Monday nights but I missed it - online and finish it. I'm determined. Cause yeah. It needs to be done.

Ghetto Superstar, that is what you are
Don't you hate it when you pack up a bunch of DVD's and books and stuff that are due but you forget they're in your bag so you totally don't drop them off even though you watched them like weeks ago but you keep forgetting to pack them and then when you finally don't forget you end up forgetting that you for once didn't forget so you forget to put them in the slot? Did that make sense?
...
....
...
close enough.
I'm getting fines cause I keep forgetting. Oh well, I'll take care of them later.
Totally stoked for Charlie's Angels the new series produced by Drew Barrymore, huzzah! Starting up on the 22nd of September which I guess is the 35th anniversary of the original series - take that Mom! I must be good since it's lasted that long! She makes fun of me cause I love it. So does Sketch, but whatever. The cheesy stunts and the too-loud music just adds to the show's dynamic of comedy, action, and more comedy. Cheesefest style.
"It's not the wilderness, Bosely."
So, from what I can tell, other than Drew's company Flower Films producing it they have the three angels - which to me are completely unknowns except for the blonde who played Lucy Fields on Grey's this past year.
And it's completely different - the chicks aren't all cops who were tired of the boring daily life, one was a thief, one was a dirty cop and the other was a carjacker and it's like Charlie is giving them a second chance or something.
Bosely is some dude who was in Battle Los Angeles, Robert Wagner was going to do the voice of Charlie but there was some sort of conflict there so I don't know if he's still attached to the project. But it will be Thursday nights on ABC like right before Grey's at 7.
here, watch this:
It looks a bit short-lived. Hopefully the series will be better than the previews.
This pilot is supposed to have Dina Meyer in it - aka Holly Snow from NCIS, Lady Irina from Castle, and Kate Miller from Friends. you know, the one that doesn't like Joey back, his costar who makes fun of him cause he couldn't open a carton of milk on an infomercial, then they're friends and they stay up talking and then she ditches him for LA? You know? maybe not. you have lives. I forget that sometimes.
"Everything" Michael Buble Live at Madison Square Garden
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
love all the accents. but the beginning of that song sounds too much like this song:
"Ghetto Superstar" Pras feat. Mya
cameo central.
so i sing that instead. even though this one is based off of this:
Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers "Islands in the Stream"
stick with it to the refrain, then you'll get it.
Had a burrito for supper, it was awesome. Think I'm gonna start going there more often. They have green tea too so I give them a thumbs up. Scale of Awesome says 9/10. Was nice, got off at 5 then started season one of 24. I'm still up in the air about that one. At this point I could take it or leave it. It's not all that intriguing and I'm kind of like, do I really need another series? I've got Six Feet Under waiting for me on the shelf plus all the ones I actually watch, if this one isn't interesting why put up with the 80 millions seasons it went through? Scale of Awesome says 5/10. I like some of the storylines but others are just stupid and I want them to move in. Which they don't. There are like 8 different storylines going at once. And it's 24 cause it's like 24 hours a day. Each episode is an hour in the day and it's like that for a whole season so like season 2 would be 24 hours of the next day. So, if there were like 8 seasons, which I think is what it was, but don't bet on that I don't really like the show so it's a total guess, it would just be 8 days total.
HA! There were 8, Aces!!
love that. "Have you seen these? You write important messages on them then affix them to objects. Aces!"
3 guesses as to who said that. Post-its, she's talking about post-its. Didn't know people could get that excited about post-its, but you should have seen my dorm rooms in college. Whenever I went on a writing binge they were hung all over the walls along with pictures of the characters and notes about their quirks, possible storylines and all that. I'm a nerd. I pick a character name then google for images on what I think they might look like, print them off and hang them up. Haven't had a chance to do that yet in my new apartment, it might look awkward in the living room, people see that room. Granted anyone who actually enters the room already knows about my crazy but for the maintenance people who occasionally visit, they don't need to know all about the crazy.
It is about time though - not for the crazy but for the pictures and all. Need to get back into the apartment story. I actually worked on that a little tonight just character names and ideas for each apartment.
alright, split shift tomorrow. gotta clean the apartment as well. out!

close enough.
I'm getting fines cause I keep forgetting. Oh well, I'll take care of them later.
Totally stoked for Charlie's Angels the new series produced by Drew Barrymore, huzzah! Starting up on the 22nd of September which I guess is the 35th anniversary of the original series - take that Mom! I must be good since it's lasted that long! She makes fun of me cause I love it. So does Sketch, but whatever. The cheesy stunts and the too-loud music just adds to the show's dynamic of comedy, action, and more comedy. Cheesefest style.
"It's not the wilderness, Bosely."
So, from what I can tell, other than Drew's company Flower Films producing it they have the three angels - which to me are completely unknowns except for the blonde who played Lucy Fields on Grey's this past year.
And it's completely different - the chicks aren't all cops who were tired of the boring daily life, one was a thief, one was a dirty cop and the other was a carjacker and it's like Charlie is giving them a second chance or something.
Bosely is some dude who was in Battle Los Angeles, Robert Wagner was going to do the voice of Charlie but there was some sort of conflict there so I don't know if he's still attached to the project. But it will be Thursday nights on ABC like right before Grey's at 7.
here, watch this:
It looks a bit short-lived. Hopefully the series will be better than the previews.
This pilot is supposed to have Dina Meyer in it - aka Holly Snow from NCIS, Lady Irina from Castle, and Kate Miller from Friends. you know, the one that doesn't like Joey back, his costar who makes fun of him cause he couldn't open a carton of milk on an infomercial, then they're friends and they stay up talking and then she ditches him for LA? You know? maybe not. you have lives. I forget that sometimes.
"Everything" Michael Buble Live at Madison Square Garden
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
love all the accents. but the beginning of that song sounds too much like this song:
"Ghetto Superstar" Pras feat. Mya
cameo central.
so i sing that instead. even though this one is based off of this:
Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers "Islands in the Stream"
stick with it to the refrain, then you'll get it.
Had a burrito for supper, it was awesome. Think I'm gonna start going there more often. They have green tea too so I give them a thumbs up. Scale of Awesome says 9/10. Was nice, got off at 5 then started season one of 24. I'm still up in the air about that one. At this point I could take it or leave it. It's not all that intriguing and I'm kind of like, do I really need another series? I've got Six Feet Under waiting for me on the shelf plus all the ones I actually watch, if this one isn't interesting why put up with the 80 millions seasons it went through?

Automatic, Supersonic, Hypnotic, Funky Fresh
There are people in the back of my dad's Suburban. Fake people. Life-size fake people. There are life-size fake people in the back of my dad's Suburban. With smiling faces. Surrounded by jugs of moonshine. It's oddly creepy yet totally cool.
Apparently they're supposed to go in his model T when he's not driving it. One of the many model T's anyway. He's kind of an old cars junkie. And old motorcycles, scooters, model trains, beer mugs, big screen tv's and reality television. Add in some bib overalls and a farmer's tan and you have my dad in a nutshell. But he's amusing so I like him. Despite his fascination with HeeHaw and need for me to see all the musical appearances.
The people are pretty cool. Mom drew the outlines on some insulation stuff and he cut them out then had some chick paint their faces. I should snap a photo and upload it.
So...camp meeting was today. And, you'd think we'd be done, but nope. Getting together again next Monday to burn picture CD's and send out thank you's to the adult help/kids for coming. We went to my old high school - BTW, all the kids this year are getting laptops, I'm totally jealous. We got screwed. Even have the prison t-shirt's to prove it. They're cool, black with our date of a release on the front and our signatures on the back - anyway, hung out at the library and saw half of our teen help there registering for classes in the gym. Well not classes in the gym. But registering in the gym for classes. In classrooms. It's camp week already. I remember going a week early for KRT. Knights of the Round Table it was the elite choir. We traveled and all that. I actually registered during camp week my freshman year. I was #34 out of the 32 kids in my class. Didn't make sense to me either.
Can't believe they're old enough to go there. Makes me feel super old. Well, that and the fact that every time I go to a movie my left knee locks up and I limp for about an hour afterwards. Seriously. Old woman on the loose.
Sorry, yeah, camp meeting, just made plans about teen help next year - they seem to always be on the agenda but they were excellent this year so it was good talk, picked a possible day, talked over new themes. We're thinking The Ultimate Transformer. The t-shirts would be wicked awesome. Wow, haven't said that in a while.
Aside from all that it was cool to see everyone again. It's a fun gang. We order pizza, drink pop and joke about all the stuff that happened at camp. It's good to hear others thoughts and all that. I do NOT want to be night patrol again next year, even though I know I will because who else is gonna do it? It was okay except for the 3rd grade girls. Kicked my butt. In fact, just saw one of them not sleeping when she was supposed to be just a couple hours ago.
Went to help my sister-in-law with her new ipod. Downloading music before she goes on her trip. Pretty cool stuff. I was proud she knew who Hey Monday is. But apparently they play them on the radio now. I was stoked. No, I don't listen to the radio. Couldn't hear it over the headphones in my ears. I plug the ipod in an adapter when in my car. Yes, I'm obsessive. Speaking of obsessive, what's up with people freaking out on me when I don't answer my phone. Did I really used to be that bad? It's like, if I don't answer a text or a call that they assume I'm lying dead on the side of the road or something. Call the National Guard! She's not replying!
I actually just had this conversation. It's not that I don't like all of you. I think you're all pretty awesome actually, you do put up with me so that's new. Anyway, it's just that with public service and catering to people all day all I want to do is go home and crash with no human contact at all. Just me and my big fat cat. I know that some people don't understand that but it works for me. It's like people overload at work cause they're everywhere, all the time, with the screaming kids and angry patrons - I mean I love my job, if I didn't I wouldn't do it - but when I go home I don't want to have to deal with any of that.
School starts up soon. I have half my assignment done already - order the textbook, got that. Other half is printing off my library's mission statement. I have the freaking thing basically memorized anyway just because of Managing Collections class projects. Freakin' Library Goddess. Making me better at my job. Geez. Will be sad not having her for a Prof for this one. Who will I bring coffee to in the morning? Maybe I'll stop by her office or something.
"Car Wash" Christina Aguilera feat. Missy Elliot
they make a pretty good team. for this and moulin rouge.
"The things you do" Gina Thompson feat. Missy Elliot
absolutely hate this song. but love missy from 2:23-2:55 specifically 2:31-2:33, gotta love her explanation "I have no idea where that came from" so skip that intro crap. seriously.
"1,2 Step" Ciara feat. Missy Elliot
yes, it's a feat. Missy Elliot kind of day.
love this video, back when artists still danced. rollerskates and Axe spray included. What movie was it when they went and shot a music video with a bunch of kids. Was that "Honey". sounds like it. Maybe not.
Love Missy Elliot, I was obsessed with "Lose Control" and "Work It" for a while.
sleepin' in! huzzah! then back to work in the afternoon.
OUT!

Groove is in the Heart
So, what did I do with my halfday off?
Rizzoli and Isles dancing behind the scenes - gotta love it
oh the joys. they do this a lot. but this was angie's birthday so i felt the need to post it.
She's back!
Paget's back on set. love it. Totally stoked for Criminal Minds - coming back September 21st! And the whole gang is signed in for the new season. They said they're bringing her back first episode but we'll see. You know Morgan's gonna be mad. Hotch will probably take a beating cause he knew. Not sure about JJ.
Other than working 11-2, not finishing my puzzle, writing barely, cleaning out my desktop, I did catch up on my TV/movies.
Watched the new Warehouse 13 online. HG's back with a vengeance! I heard rumors of a spinoff, I'm stoked but not. Cause I mean it'd be awesome cause she'd have her own show. But then it wouldn't because she wouldn't be with Pete and Myka and Claudia and all that. Maybe they'll do crossover episodes like they do with Eureka. and now apparently Alphas. It's like SyFy is blending all their shows together. Which is sweet. I know, nerd. Moving on. This week's episode was awesome, I highly encourage you find it online. Jack and Rebecca are back - "And me?" "You gaze at me lovingly." - they were Warehouse agents back in the 60's and Rebecca came in first season to help with case. They brought her back in second season and now in the third. Awesomeness.
Then went to see this:
Cowboys and Aliens
It actually was pretty good. Scale of Awesome says 8/10. Indiana Jones meets Space Cowboy Bond in this western good vs. evil flick. Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell. Directed by Jon Favreau - but see, everytime I hear that name I think of him in the Replacements, not him as the director of Iron Man.
Anyway, despite peoples' negative opinions on the movie - those who haven't seen it and say it looks dumb - I rather liked it. and would totally see it again...on DVD.
Quotes of the night:
"You're a bit of a blonde in a brunette's body."
me to my niece. cause it's true. she's just a little goofy. and blonde...at times. We told her she needs her own blog and that can be the title. The post can all be about B words. Boys. Brains. Bananas. Whatever. We'll see what happens with that.
"Watch out for Bobis."
not even gonna try to explain that one.
Oldest Sister: "Get your head out of your purse!"
M: "It smells nice in here!"
goofy.
and the famous
M: "Blame it on Dad. It's his fault I'm stupid."
but she knows how to spell stupid, so she's not that bad.
Also tonight saw the preview for the new Three Musketeers movie - totally going go see that.
Love Mr. Darcy with a sword and Orlando Bloom as the bad guy.
Music Rec's for the night:
"King of Wishful Thinking" Go West
played before the movie tonight - had to google the original artist
"Groove is in the Heart" Deee-Lite
love the video. everything disco is just fantastic - clothing, dancing, just pure awesomeness.

She'll make her way.
Put batteries in my wand. Best flashlight ever!
"Do you want juice or are you a milk person?" I hate milk. It's gross. Watching the Warehouse pilot. Moving on.
Last year today was when Delayed...Reaction did all of our recording which reminds me that I need to work more on that song. Maybe it'll be finished by next year. Ha! It's not as easy when it's just me.
Saw Harry Potter 7 with the boys tonight. Was cool, worked 9-6, went to Applebees for hamburgers and then hit up the movie. Loved it. "Blow it up? Boom?" "Boom!" 3rd time was even better. I love it. But totally sad that it's over. Hope PotterMore is awesome as well. We talked comics - as we usually do - and are stoked for the new Batman and Avengers movies.
Now I'm totally stoked to sleep in tomorrow. Only working part of the day then going to see a movie with Oldest Sister and maybe getting food. Can't remember what we're going to see but we're going to see something. Oh! Cowboys and Aliens. Cause it looks awesome. It's like Indiana Jones meets Space Bond. Who's lost his memory.
Think I'll wear my Angry Birds t-shirt to work tomorrow. I love being an Aide.
Still haven't finished that freaking puzzle. I just have this weird feeling that Oldest Sister is gonna steal a piece while I'm at work give it to me for Christmas. Because that's totally what I would do if the situation was reversed. And she's more devious than me.
Songs of the day:
"Wonder" Natalie Merchant
i enjoy her as well, solo and 10,000 maniacs.
"One Fine Day"
one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies. not talking about the rosie odonnell show, i'm talking One Fine Day - Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney plus little Mae Whitman and Alex D. Linz.
totally starving. gonna eat the rest of that chicken tikka - that i didn't eat last night around 2. yes, small children sleep more than i do, you knew that already.
OUT!

I'm the butler, I like to keep the kitchen tidy.
I love that someone typed "exploded babysitter" into google and got to my blog. That's fantastic. Also amusing, another person's search for "O Lord of Light" ended up with 2G's version. Hope we didn't scar them for life.
Wore my 2G shirt to work today. Well, tonight anyway. I usually wear jeans and a nice shirt if I'm headed to the main branch since I'm like a professional there. Or para-professional. Their words not mine. This is why I love camp. Got back to my roots and wore t-shirts and sport shorts the whole time. That's the actual me. I used to wear tear-aways, t-shirts and a backwards hat every day to school for years. This whole jeans and a nice shirt thing is like prom to me. Every day. Which is why it's nice to throw in a superhero shirt or funny reference one every once in a while when I'm just an Aide.
Besides, I've learned not to wear those shirts at the other branch. If they're going to stare at my chest I would rather them do it in silence and get it over with instead of staring and overwhelming me with conversation about the symbol emblazoned across my chest. That's just awkward.
Staff meeting this morning where my Koha Whisperer thing was made known. Now I'm just nervous they're going to ask me actual questions. Go to someone smart. I'm just a cronie. After that it was covering at the other branch while they had their staff meeting. Okay, I'm calling favorite cause at which branch does she bring pizza to a staff meeting? Yeah. But I got two pieces. Cause it's my branch too. And it was my lunch hour. And that branch is obsessed with all things bread. I blame Space Cadet. Her baking skills got us hooked. They're constantly finding recipes in books and trying to bribe her into making them. It's amusing. She says she'll slip me a few easy recipes that I won't burn down my apartment with. That should be interesting.
After all that fun it was lunch hour - yes a whole hour! that I didn't have to spend finding parking! - so I ran back to the apartment and watched Bonekickers - "like graveyard jenga down here" c'mon you knew that was coming - then went back for three hours and shelved in my bright orange shirt. Joe Studley said I needed to turn it down. It's that bright. I'm proud. Then dinner with Second Sister, got my leftovers in the fridge! I'm stoked for chicken tikka and rice at 3AM. Yes, small children sleep more than I do, get over it.
Then we hit up Barnes and Noble which...okay I used to make fun of it because it was a big bookstore and then they started selling all this other crap and I was like, "get that out of my bookstore!" Now I work at a library, so they can sell whatever they want. Anyway, so I go in, and okay, remember how I'm a nerd. And I got a raise. So what does a nerd do when they get a raise? They buy a wand. That lights up. And is awesome.
Yes a raise. It's interesting in these budget times but I'll take it. Another fun work thing - got my year evaluation! Which is amusing cause I still haven't gotten my 6 month one yet. Again, I'll take it. As long as he doesn't say that I suck. Which, I don't think I do. People are generally glad when I'm there. But I'm a nerd and make them laugh so maybe that's part of it.
Anyway, right, so in between the chicken tikka and the wand-buying was the driving from place to place and I pulled out of the parking lot following her and she's driving and suddenly pulls in the parking lot and starts waving all frantic and flailing. "Why are you following me?!" She was lost. And technically I live like less than a few miles from the place so I guess it would make more sense if I were to lead. So, I led, and got us on the right road and I'm calling Oldest Sister to see if she can meet us and I see Second Sister pass me in the lane next to me. I was like, "What?! She's in the wrong lane!" like chanting it, "She's in the wrong lane, she's in the wrong lane" all while being on the phone with Second Sister when we pull up to the stoplight and she turns...which makes me realize that it was me in the wrong lane. It's another one of those zombie moments, you know when you're driving on a road you take often but to a different destination and you're just used to driving to that place. Anyway, she turned but I was able to switch lanes and turn behind her. Meanwhile Oldest Sister was probably making fun of me the whole time.
OH! BTW - she has threatened to come to my apartment and steal a piece out of all my puzzles. That's just mean. I don't need any help from you to not finish the thing.
"Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!"

awful. love 2:21. was she eating candy with the wrapper still on it? i totally have those headphones.
these are both two of her biggest hits, yes she's british but she's awesome. we like british people, they're cool and have fun accents.

OUT!
Wore my 2G shirt to work today. Well, tonight anyway. I usually wear jeans and a nice shirt if I'm headed to the main branch since I'm like a professional there. Or para-professional. Their words not mine. This is why I love camp. Got back to my roots and wore t-shirts and sport shorts the whole time. That's the actual me. I used to wear tear-aways, t-shirts and a backwards hat every day to school for years. This whole jeans and a nice shirt thing is like prom to me. Every day. Which is why it's nice to throw in a superhero shirt or funny reference one every once in a while when I'm just an Aide.
Besides, I've learned not to wear those shirts at the other branch. If they're going to stare at my chest I would rather them do it in silence and get it over with instead of staring and overwhelming me with conversation about the symbol emblazoned across my chest. That's just awkward.
Staff meeting this morning where my Koha Whisperer thing was made known. Now I'm just nervous they're going to ask me actual questions. Go to someone smart. I'm just a cronie. After that it was covering at the other branch while they had their staff meeting. Okay, I'm calling favorite cause at which branch does she bring pizza to a staff meeting? Yeah. But I got two pieces. Cause it's my branch too. And it was my lunch hour. And that branch is obsessed with all things bread. I blame Space Cadet. Her baking skills got us hooked. They're constantly finding recipes in books and trying to bribe her into making them. It's amusing. She says she'll slip me a few easy recipes that I won't burn down my apartment with. That should be interesting.
After all that fun it was lunch hour - yes a whole hour! that I didn't have to spend finding parking! - so I ran back to the apartment and watched Bonekickers - "like graveyard jenga down here" c'mon you knew that was coming - then went back for three hours and shelved in my bright orange shirt. Joe Studley said I needed to turn it down. It's that bright. I'm proud. Then dinner with Second Sister, got my leftovers in the fridge! I'm stoked for chicken tikka and rice at 3AM. Yes, small children sleep more than I do, get over it.
Then we hit up Barnes and Noble which...okay I used to make fun of it because it was a big bookstore and then they started selling all this other crap and I was like, "get that out of my bookstore!" Now I work at a library, so they can sell whatever they want. Anyway, so I go in, and okay, remember how I'm a nerd. And I got a raise. So what does a nerd do when they get a raise? They buy a wand. That lights up. And is awesome.
Yes a raise. It's interesting in these budget times but I'll take it. Another fun work thing - got my year evaluation! Which is amusing cause I still haven't gotten my 6 month one yet. Again, I'll take it. As long as he doesn't say that I suck. Which, I don't think I do. People are generally glad when I'm there. But I'm a nerd and make them laugh so maybe that's part of it.
Anyway, right, so in between the chicken tikka and the wand-buying was the driving from place to place and I pulled out of the parking lot following her and she's driving and suddenly pulls in the parking lot and starts waving all frantic and flailing. "Why are you following me?!" She was lost. And technically I live like less than a few miles from the place so I guess it would make more sense if I were to lead. So, I led, and got us on the right road and I'm calling Oldest Sister to see if she can meet us and I see Second Sister pass me in the lane next to me. I was like, "What?! She's in the wrong lane!" like chanting it, "She's in the wrong lane, she's in the wrong lane" all while being on the phone with Second Sister when we pull up to the stoplight and she turns...which makes me realize that it was me in the wrong lane. It's another one of those zombie moments, you know when you're driving on a road you take often but to a different destination and you're just used to driving to that place. Anyway, she turned but I was able to switch lanes and turn behind her. Meanwhile Oldest Sister was probably making fun of me the whole time.
OH! BTW - she has threatened to come to my apartment and steal a piece out of all my puzzles. That's just mean. I don't need any help from you to not finish the thing.
"Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!"
"You don't need any help from me sir."
"That's right!"

touch and go with your white lies
So, we have this new system at work. It's called Koha. It has its benefits, we're still trying to find the bulk of them, but...
Anyway, I've been dubbed as the smaller branch's Koha Whisperer and Sensei has been joking about me writing the handbook for it. It was hysterical, I sent out an email to the branch about how to cancel a hold in transit and she said it would make a great first chapter and that she would add in the color commentary. We're throwing ideas back and forth.
I never realized how cool phone conversations are. I mean, I rarely talk on the phone but like, you can hear someone's voice. And they're not really there. Sorry, Gilmore Girls, Emily: "I still think transcontinental calls are a bigger deal than they are."
Today I was total zombie autopilot - 4 hours of sleep for a 9-6, not smart - but when you're in public service it's like you say the same things over and over.
Them: "Nice watch"
Me: "Thanks, my sister got it for me for Christmas. She thought it was time I wore one that wasn't broken."
Them: "Oh, I have fines?"
Me: "It's cool, I have fines and I'm here every day."
Plus all the basics, "Can I help you find something?" "Do you happen to have your card with you?" "Do you have a photo ID with you?" "Anything else I can help you find?" "Do you want a bag for those?" That's what screwed me over today. Pretty sure I asked a lady if she wanted a bag twice and she said no both times - but of course I didn't realize I'd already asked her until the second time she said no and looked at me funny. Technically, the looking at me funny thing isn't all that out of the ordinary so maybe I didn't screw it up zombie-style.
"You know, people are calling you 'the blur'"
"That's mean. Or is it? What is that?"
Alright, out early, staff meeting tomorrow. Hope tonight is better. Last night I laid in bed for like hours and couldn't sleep. 4AM to 8AM was all I got. Blah.
"I kept reaching in for strawberries and coming out with liver, that's not pleasant!"
Songs of the day:
Stacy Clark's greatest hits as promised.
Song 1: "touch and go"
the taking random pictures of strangers part confuses me, but awesome song.
song 2: "white lies"
no video yet but she does have her own channel now, huzzah!
"Please erase this from your brain."
"I will definitely try."
staff meeting tomorrow morning, possible dinner with sisters to follow work, then friday is more work and harry potter with the boys. 3rd time, gonna be awesome.
still actually working on my puzzle. surprised i haven't thrown it in the closet yet. this one is kicking my butt. i did all the faces, and the outline and all that but i have all these blank pieces now with no distinguishing markers so i'm screwed.
"The blur is off!"

This Issue Is Not For Checkout
Okay, so weirdest thing ever. I shelve the morning away, run my errands, feed my cat, start a project then come back to work where my coworker finds the youth section to be like a disaster area. All the stuff was all turned backwards, stuff was on its side - and it wasn't like a normal little kid invasion where there's stuff all over the floor. Literally all the VHS tapes in that area were turned backwards, a bunch of the CD Roms, and the books on display were all on their backs. So weird. Space Cadet and I were just weirded out. I took pictures and sent them to Superwoman, not knowing what else to do. What would you do? Like, I don't even know how that happened. It's just too weird.
I love working with Space Cadet. It's kind of a competition as to who can say the words "Space Cadet" first. It's amusing. "It's da Space Cadet!!" is usually my opening line.
Anyway, remember how I'm a nerd? I got these Star Wars crossword puzzles, cause I'm a nerd. And started one. Dude. I suck at puzzles. I used to have all these Star Wars puzzles like framed on my wall and I was like, dude, only 300 pieces I can do this. But no, I'm missing my sister-in-law who totally rocked at helping me. I was a kid so 1000 pieces was a little out of reach. I figured I could rock it, but nope. I'm stuck on a 300 piece one, I haven't even started the 500 piece one. But it's a bunch of faces. I can name the most of them but making them fit together is like more than I can handle. Maybe I'm distracted. SVU is on, I look up every 5 seconds.
OH MY GOD, why would you hold on to a dead body for 14 years? Wouldn't that be like disgusting? Even if you stuffed it in a trunk? That's just gross. Sorry, I've been watching too much SVU. Even Carter's grossed out. Sittin' in front of me turned away from the TV.
"Do you propose to try your case right here, Miss Cabot?"
"No, I'm just merely using rhetoric to prove my point."
"One of your more endearing qualities."
Anyway, Star Wars puzzle: Take one. I suck. Even Carter knows it. He just stares at me. I gave up. He's not easy to do puzzles around. Or wrap presents. He has to lay in the middle of everything. Like, you lay out all the wrapping paper and he lays in the middle of it before you can stick the present on it. And he doesn't move. I think he got that from Junior. He used to do it too. It was worse when they were together. You'd lay out wrapping paper and Junior would lay on that. So you'd go get more paper, lay that out and Carter would lay on that. Then Junior would be jealous cause you weren't using his paper so he would growl at Carter, who would jump at him, then I'd have to separate them and by the time I was done catching them both - individually - and putting them both in the basement, I'd lost all energy to wrap up the freakin' presents anyway.
OOOHHHHH, Cabot's in contempt. Behind bars. Busted.
Where was I? Puzzles right. I'm a nerd. Did I mention that?
Space Cadet: "Don't you have a cardtable?"
I told her they were a phase. Which is true. By tomorrow they'll probably be kicked in a corner or something. What are these doing in my living room? What was I thinking? You're such a nerd. Yes, I talk to myself. In both 1st and 3rd person.
Got new shoes today. They're black and awesome. I put some new laces in them. Hopefully they'll last longer than my last ones. Which are still totally comfortable. And totally backwards. They broke from the outside in, instead of me dragging my feet and breaking the backs. This time I would step on the backs to take them off and ripped one in half.
Quote of the day: "Well, isn't that just kick you in the crotch, spit on your neck fantastic," (Friends, Rachel).
Songs of the day: Hey Monday - the underrated pop band of awesomeness - I found them a while ago...before Glee took one of their least...um... let's say, least best? Is that a phrase? Least best. Not the best one of their releases... and made the Warblers do it at Regionals. Not sure why they picked that. "Fall Into Me" has basically the same message and is better written, music-wise.
"I Don't Wanna Dance"
their most well-known release
"Fall Into Me"
song mentioned earlier.
Love it. If you like them check out Stacy Clark. Similar in style and lyrics. I'll post hers tomorrow.
Out for the night.

That poster needs more exclamation marks.
"Scott, if your life had a face I'd punch it."
You know what my favorite thing in life is? When people plan it for me. I just love that. Like, they pick out who I'm supposed to be with because we're soulmates or something. And there are a group of them that think this. One of them is an ex-boyfriend and is the one who told the supposed-soulmate that we're meant to be. What does that say about our past relationship? I'm tired of it. Yes, I'm indecisive but please, don't assume that I'm going to marry someone that you think I'm meant to be with just because you tell me OR HIM! that it's meant to be. If we were soulmates something would have happened already.
Moving on.
"He punched the highlights out of her hair!!"
Loving Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Giving it an 8/10 on the Scale of Awesome. And oh my god, it took me the whole freaking movie to figure out that Ramona is Lucy McClane from "Live Free or Die Hard" aka John McClane's kickass daughter. "Dad....now there are only five of them" girl. All I could think of was Claudia plus some mystery character that I'd seen in a movie at one point or another. It drove me nuts. But huzzah! It's her. And yeah, it's like a mixture of Claudia from the Warehouse and Lucy from LFODH. Pretty much sums up Ramona Flowers, colored hair included. Well, minus the seven evil exes. Claudia does have one in witness protection but that's a different story.
"Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" is a movie based off a series of comic books by Bryan Lee O'Malley - yes it's at the library - it's filled with comedy, action, and video game effects. It jumps from scene to scene similar to a graphic novel with an abundance of gaming sound effects and subtitles all over the place.
And Mae Whitman, again. God that chick is in everything. You may know her as Lauren Graham's daughter on "Parenthood" but she'll forever be Maggie Taylor from "One Fine Day" to me. Or Heather whatever her last name is from Grey's when her spine is like all weird and bent in half or something. I just remember Izzie has this line, "You're in pain. Sometimes I'm a bitch for no reason at all." But I guess it's fitting since she guest-starred on Arrested Development as Michael Cera's girlfriend. He plays Scott Pilgrim, the nerd who's in a band - called Sex Bob-Omb - who has to battle Ramona Flowers' 7 evil exes in order to be with her. They've formed this sort of league thing to kill him. It's amusing.
I loved the Wallace character as well. Played by The Other Culkin Boy. Kieran, not McCaulay. Yeah, the other one. He plays Fuller in Home Alone - "I don't want to sleep with Fuller, he wets the bed!" As mentioned earlier, I've seen too many movies which is why it took me over an hour to figure out that Ramona Flowers was actually Lucy McClane with colored hair.
The movie was semi-like The Rocker. I thought it would be dumb going in but ended up with an awesome soundtrack. I'm jamming to "Garbage Truck" and "Black Sheep" huzzah for all things obscure. "We are Sex Bob-Omb and we're here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff!" then the music plays. I was cracking up.
Also amusing that Chris Evans plays one of the evil exes and it was just so different than his Captain America character that we just went to see yesterday that I literally had to sit up and stare at him to make sure it was actually him. I'm still secretly wondering how they made him all scrawny in Captain America before he gets all the injections. I'm assuming he didn't drop 100 pounds and shrink a few feet for the role but you never know.

She's not lipsyncing. I have no idea what you're talking about.
this is super cool
didn't know how they did that with the piano

Still haven't made my grocery run yet. I was going to today but Mom brought lunch and pop - as mentioned earlier I can live without food just not without pop so I should be good for a while. My cat, on the other hand, is almost out of food so I'll have to at least get that tomorrow. Might as well do them all at once.
OUT!

I see before me a new horizon.....
Keeping it short.
Worked 11-2 shelving the day away, came home to watch SVU and nap - stil exhausted - then went to see Captain America with sister and family.
I'd give it a 7/10 on the Scale of Awesome. Bits of comedy, lots of action. I was impressed by the special effects.Plus we saw it in 3D which I didn't realize it was until we were there and he handed us glasses. Sweet stuff. Cheesy but not too cheesy, I'm looking forward to The Avengers - aka the next movie in the superhero series bringing together Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk and all them. I'm a nerd for knowing them.
Out for the night.
Song of the day:
"Strangers Like Me" Everlife remake of Phil Collins
love it.
tomorrow need a major grocery run. Second Sister says movie theater food not a legitimate meal but I have nothing in my fridge aside from booze. Mom would be so proud. I can usually make it - it's only when I run out of pop that I panic and need new groceries immediately. Which is weird but true. I can live without food but not Diet Dr. Pepper.

Our drinking team has a golfing problem
Seriously. One of the best sporting days ever. On my day off even, huzzah! 2G rocked it. Didn't finish last - we smoked them - but didn't finish first either. I think we ended with like a 76 which is about 6 over - awesome for people who don't play golf - except pastor our ringer.
"I've had marriages shorter than that story" yaya Jack, I'm moving on.
-Basically, this morning got to sleep in, yay!
-Picked up my sister-in-law's extra clubs cause she's awesome and lets us borrow them
-Met up and carpooled to the course
-Did I mention our matching orange t-shirts? They're like neon orange. The neon of all neons with 2G on the front and our nicknames on the back. "Choot 'em Lizbet!"
-Discussed NFL cheerleaders on the ride there and the name of the Greey Bay Packer ones, "Because when I think of cheerleaders I think of the Golden Girls."
-"I’ll google it." my smartphone had a lot of random searches today.
-Arby's for lunch. What if you’re in a bad mood? Does that mean you can’t eat it?
-And of course talked camp stuff for next year, possible Zombie camp theme – dead in sin alive in Christ, for the skits I'll just make them dance to Thriller
-Got there, registered, enjoyed beverages, jammed with Heidie at the desk
-Started on hole 1, they spread us out but we got stuck between a slower group and fast group so we let the fast group pass us. It was a lot of waiting and all that. But worth it. We looked awesome in our shirts. This way you could hear and see us coming. No excuse for us to get hit with a ball. Unless you were aiming specifically for us. But we're loud. Super loud. It's frowned upon if there is no woohoo in your backswing. and JANSEN!! was also another fun one to yell.
-Lost my orange ball at the same hole I lost my ball last year and it was the same situation. I swung and didn't see where it went. And neither did they. Same thing as last year. No idea where it went. I'm just that fast apparently. It's all a blur. Speaking of blurs,
-Drink cart people love us. There were multiple involved. We put together a beer fund this year, well, everyone threw in some many in like a what do you call it, like a collection or a beer...there's a word for it. I can't remember, I'm tired. But yeah, contribution to the beer...stash? No. Anyway, I'll think of it later, but anyway, yeah they make these black cherry mike's now that are fantastic. Jim kept calling them blueberry so we changed the name to kickass berry. Because it rocked.
-We were all pretty giggly by the time the thing was over...some of us more than others, and no it wasn't me. little bit giggly lot a bit sweary, moving on.
-It was a success. I mean I was only thrown out of the cart once. And it was pretty early on so I walked it off. Last year I fell out try to save a club, this year I was crouched down leaning to get a ball on the way to the next hole and she turned after I missed it. Think I flew a few feet. Like flew, there was no sudden drop. Flailed more like it. And landed on the tee in my pocket. That was comfortable.
Beer pot? I guess none of us really had beer. Well, a landshark. Whatever that is and a bunch of Mike's. But we're all home and safe and all that. "Ha, result!" - Bonekickers, haven't quoted that one in a while. "It's like graveyard jenga down here."
Gonna crash now, oh forgot, I had my ipod and we played music in our carts. Started with Lady Gaga, then Rihanna and Ke$ha and put it on shuffle from there. Loved jamming to Pokerface while I tee'd off.
Song of the day because it played on my way to town and on my way back from town. Shuffle man.
