Carolyn Hart

Author Carolyn Hart is coming to my library! She will be here, at the Rose State College LRC, on April 11 at 3:30 for a Friends of the Library meeting. These meetings are open to the public, so if you're in the area feel free to stop by.

The temperature was in the 70's all weekend. It's 48 degrees right now. You gotta love this Oklahoma weather.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's Spring Break here in Midwest City, and unlike most, I am not excited about it. Usually I work Sun.-Thurs. 1:00-10:00. I sleep until noon every day. I love my work schedule. During Spring Break, I have to work 8:00-5:00. I got up at 6:30 this morning. It was after 2:00AM before I even went to sleep. Usually I love my job, but this is the one thing I don't like about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Check out my new renter. Please. Don't make me beg.

Tidbits

Remember this about my sister's TV boyfriend? Well, it looks like things are not going well for Mr. Hasselhoff. On Tuesday came the news of domestic violence charges, and today he plead no contest to a DUI charge. Things are not going well for the Night Rider.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Dubai port drama is over. The UAE is transferring control to a US "entity". Thank goodness.

If you're going to fuck your neighbor's sheep, don't get caught.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you watch Black.White. last night on FX? If not, you totally should. It will be on again on Sunday night at 10:00(central time).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're watching Idol this season, you have to know who Ace is. I want him to marry me to win more every week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, a nun and a librarian walk into a spelling bee...for real. No joke.

I did not do as well as I thought I would on the midterm for my library class. I fear that my 4.0 is in danger.

Midterms

I've got a midterm to study for, so I'm reposting my post (borrowing this idea from Monty) from March 8, 2004. It's about the love of my life, Colby. :)

Hi!!

Colby was on Curb Your Enthusiasm last night. I don't ever watch this show, but I made an exception for the Colbster. It was really funny. Larry was talking to the rabbi, and invited him to dinner. The rabbi asked if he could bring his friend, and said he was a Survivor. Larry said his dad had a friend who was a survivor, and invited him to dinner. The rabbi's Survivor was Colby, and the dad's survivor was a survivor of the holocaust. Colby and the holocaust survivor got into an arguement over dinner about who had it worse off. If you'd like to see it, let me know. I taped it.

Tonight is Three Dog Night. I can't wait! I get to leave work early; that's why you're hearing from me now.

I have never tried to hide where I stand on the positions of the Survivor: All-Stars(see March 2). Everyone in my family knows of my love for Colby. Yet, my brother, Sean, who knows Colby is going to win, is trying to cause a ruckus. I don't know why, but for some reason, Sean is a fan of Boston Rob. Probably because Rob is an ass just like Sean. Anyway, all Survivor fans know that if you're not Richard Hatch, or a shady car salesman, you can't win by being an ass. And, we all saw Richard Hatch get voted off BECAUSE COLBY SAID SO! If Boston Rob makes it to the merge, I think that Colby will say so again, and Rob will be gone. And, I will laugh at Sean forever!!! Muahahaha!
This is the last time I'm going to address the Sean/Rob affair. Until Colby wins.

It looks like I was wrong about the Rob/Colby thing since Colby got voted off before the merge, and Rob came in second, and got a dumb little trophy wife out of it.

The Oscars

I watched the Oscars. I watched the pregame show on E!. I watched some postgame show on E!. This is what I got from it:
Reese won best actress.
George won best supporting actor.
Crash won best picture.
I haven't seen any of the movies that were nominated, except Harry Potter, and it was only nominated for visual effects or some crap like that.
Ryan Seacrest is a giant douche bag.
On the E! post game show Serena Williams called Phillip Seymour Hoffman "Phillip Semen Hoffmour". I nearly fell out!

Visit Tiny Voices in My Head.

My mom was out of town all weekend. My weekend was wonderful. How was yours?

New tenant, and a couple of other things

I have a new tenant, Tiny Voices in My Head. I added her to the blogs I read last week. She's good. Go visit her. You know you want to, everybody's doing it.

There's an interesting rumor going around a certain college campus in Midwest City. The rumor is that the girl's basketball coach was forced to resign after being caught with a certain part of his anatomy in the mouth of one of the basketball players on the bus on the way home from an away game. I don't know how much truth there is to this story, but I do know for sure that he no longer works here there. There's a note on his office door that says he's accepted a much more lucrative position elsewhere.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I left work early last night and Heather and I went shopping. We had a great time without spending too much money. I've been pretty social this week, and therefore I am way behind on my TV viewing. I'm going to have to get caught up this weekend. I did watch Lost & Freddie before I went to bed last night. Both shows were really good. On Lost, Claire remembered some of what happened to her when the "others" had her. Freddie is just hilarious from beginning to end. Everyone should watch it. The Chris character is the best.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brian lost his father yesterday. Stop by and give him your condolences, I know this must be a very hard time for him. I couldn't even begin to imagine the pain I would be in if I lost my father.

I love you daddy.

Have a nice day!

Mortality

I do not acknowledge that my soon to be 84-year-old grandmother is mortal. She is an earthbound saint, and that's all there is to it. The deaths of Don Knotts, 81, Darren McGavin, 83, and Dennis Weaver, 81 are making my delusion very hard to maintain. On top of that, Super B.J.'s grandfather died this morning.
Mortality has always disturbed me. I don't handle death well, whether it's someone I know and am close to, or someone I've feuded with in the past, the news of someone dying always makes me very sad. The sadness isn't always for me. The sadness I feel is for the loved ones of the deceased, knowing that they've lost someone close to them, that they won't ever be able to look at, touch, talk to that person ever again for the rest of their life, that's what makes me sad.
I have a hard time letting people get close to me because I know, no matter what, some way, some how, the relationship will end, and I have a hard time dealing with the pain that goes along that. It's so much easier just to keep people at arms length. The less attached you are, the less it will hurt when it's over, ya know. It's can't be that way with grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, etc. though. You've already let them in and are attached to them before you can understand the pain losing them will cause you. I've been lucky. I haven't lost that many people close to me, which is going to make it even harder when it starts happening, because inevitably it will happen. Don't get me wrong; if I'd known in advance the pain I would feel for the loss of my grandfather, I still would have loved him just as much, gotten just as attached to him, and hurt just as much when he died. I guess that's just another one of those mysterious ways The Big Man works.

Hope I didn't bring y'all down. Have a nice day. Call SOMEONE and tell them that you love them. It'll make their day.

Grey's Anatomy

I'm a recent convert to Grey's Anatomy, and watching last night's episode got me to thinking. Why is Dr. McDreamy so dreamy? I'll admit, in 1987, he bought my love, but now, 20 years later, in 2006, why are we as women so drawn to him, or, even worse, what he represents? What is so mind bogglingly attractive about a man who's unavailable? He's married; he cheated on his wife with Meredith. And, she's no saint herself. She had an affair with a married man. Did she know he was married when she was sleeping with him? George is a really good catch, and a sweet sensitive man. What she did to him is unforgivable. There are women out there who do stuff like this all the time. On one hand you have the sweet, sensitive, caring, attractive available guy, and on the other hand an asshole in every sense of the work, womanizer, cheater, liar, and 9 out of 10 times, women pick the bad guy. It doesn't make sense to me. And, here's what happens to the good guy: he's continually rejected for the bad guy, so he starts lying, cheating, womanizing, and turns into the bad guy to protect himself from the rejection. Before you know it, they're all going to turn bad, and I'm never going to be able to find a good one. It's not fair! Stupid women are ruining it for everybody!

Librarian Pirate has been drunk blogging. Go check her out. Please.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, my sister may be interested to know that her boyfriend is divorcing his wife. Good luck with that sis.

Lazy Sunday

I'm feeling very lazy today, so here's what you get:

Visit Librarian Pirate. She has a Green Tea Cheesecake with Peach Raspberry Macedoine recipe that looks scrumptious.

Random Good Stuff has an awesome video you MUST check out. Have your Kleenex® ready.

Postsecret has some good secrets today. The tennis one cracked me up a little bit.

I added some links to the blogs I read. One of them is Bad Hair Day. She has a funny post about K-Fed's new dreads.

Dan has a story about paratroopers being court-martialed or discharged for having sex for money. Naughty naughty boys.

Karissa has some adorable pictures of my brother & my niece. Sean & Karissa left for Vegas yesterday. Stop by and wish her luck.

Princess Melissa has a whole new look.

There was an "incident" at Jake's family poker game. He needs some feedback.

I kinda stole borrowed this idea from Brian's Weekend Roundup. Thanks for the fabulous idea, Brian. Your roundup is way better than mine.

Hope everyone else's Sunday is as lazy and unproductive as mine.

Have a nice day!

Blog Explosion

In case you haven't noticed, I'm kind of a follower some times. Monty is sort of my blog mentor, and she rents her blog on Blog Explosion, so, in true follower form, I followed her lead, joined Blog Explosion, and am now renting my blog. This week's renter is Librarian Pirate. You totally have to go check her out. It's easy. Just click on the picture under where it says email me. You don't want me to be a blog renting failure, now do you? She's a library student, so she's super cool. I've also added her to the blogs I read list. Enjoy.

Super B.J.

There's a guy I work with, and I'm pretty sure he's a super hero. He just got new glasses that make him look like by day he's a mild mannered library worker that goes by the name Ben. But his mom works here too, and I know all of his family calls him B.J., so it's totally possible that by day he's mild mannered library worker Ben, and by night he's SUPER B.J.

I'm pretty sure the gay men of America aren't lucky enough to have a super hero named Super B.J., but it gives me a giggle.
