Can we talk about Gerard saying he had a detective agency? Because I'm still thinking about it and shaking my head.

Also, I forgot to tell you about my spectacular second viewing of Star Trek Into Darkness, and how it was entirely due to the audience in the theater. Seriously, this woman next to us had a meltdown anytime something slightly ( Read more... )

So, weather forecast was for a warmish day with maybe a little wind, and so, I was like, seize the fucking first sight of spring, and decided to resume my lunchtime walks that had been suspended during this evil monster of a winter. I start to put my jacket on and my coworker says, "You know it's snowing out, right?" And she knows I've been beaten ( Read more... )

I've had this tab open all morning, and I keep getting pulled away to troubleshoot computer stuff. There are some actual things wrong with out network that keep bringing us up and down which messes with the database etc. but there's a fair bit of learned helplessness here, so when a browser so much as times out on a request, someone is inevitably ( Read more... )

I am a librarian, and work in a very public-services centered position at my library, which means the majority of my day is spent helping patrons. I have two regularly visible tattoos, and now that it's warmer weather, the larger and more colorful one is getting more attention. I wish very much that I could hand this guide out to patrons who make ( Read more... )

I had a good time playing with Fall Out Boy's viral marketing song lyrics and wild art maze, running right back to the start and all that. It only contributed to the feeling that I've woken to a strange, magical world, because when I drove down my street, there was an enormous paper-mache dragon sticking out one of the trash cans. The day is full ( Read more... )

I dreamed last night that I got a second job as a touring band photographer, but because I was new, I was only allowed to take pictures of the techs setting up. But then, finally, I got this one really great picture of the lead guitarist's feet during sound check, and it meant I'd passed some sort of test and I was going to be allowed to graduate ( Read more... )

I've calculated today that my commute is roughly one disc of an audio book. I'm listening to a classic in my re-reading collection, one of the Mary Russell series: The Moor. I know this book so well that at first it was hard to tell if I had listened to the audio version before or not (I'm leaning toward not.) I did, however, remember from the last ( Read more... )

Tomorrow, I'm putting on a silly robe over a stunning dress and graduating from Library School. In celebration, here's some music for you all. But there's more! Some of the songs are just songs that have helped me live through this last semester, but some of them have also become attached to a few crazy little stories I've been writing. I'll be ( Read more... )

I lose as many hours of my life stuck in traffic on Sturrow Drive as season six of Buffy loses to Dawn whining.

Today, on my way to class, I listened to half of Josh Ritter's The Animal Years before I was able to actually transgress the first of several problematic three-lane merging areas. Usually, the merging alone is enough to set everyone ( Read more... )

In the midst of writing two very stress-inducing assignments, iTunes shuffle granted me a few moments of hysterical laughter at the mood-appropriateness of Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying by Belle and Sebastian and the complete silliness of Wizard Chess by Harry and the Potters. One assignment is complete (except for the editing that my hopefully ( Read more... )
