omg this week is nutty - I've managed to book myself for some sort of activity every single day. Today I had a meeting at HDQ, tomorrow is a program partnering with the public schools, Wednesday I'm going to give a "searching the catalog" refresher to our circ staff, Thursday is more Early Literacy Specialist training and then Friday, while not work related, Tim wants to go up to see Sylvia since her birthday party will be Friday night (her actually b-day is Saturday).

CRAZY!!!!!!!

OH OH OH I sent out the mix CDs on Friday! [livejournal.com profile] rhoda_rants already got hers, so I know the rest of you can't be too far behind. Here is my ONLY rule - don't look at the track list and listen to the CD in ORDER the first time. I spend a ridiculous amount of time organizing those tracks, trying to make a little story in my mind, so listen through, without knowing what is coming, and sorta just feel the music. In about a week or so I will post the ENTIRE track list and why I picked certain songs.

We finished Disc 2 of Season 2 of Veronica Mars tonight. Still hate Logan. Super annoyed by Duncan. Weevil is all over the place this season. Just keep giving me more of Veronica and Mac and I will be happy. With a side of Dick being, well, Dick. Because everyone knows better than to ship Dick with anything. (god that sentence looks hilarious).



I need to get back into making icons. I need some new ones in the mix. I know I keep saying that. Probably if I wasn't watching 4 hours of Veronica Mars every night I would have some free time LOL. GOTTA GET TIM CAUGHT UP AND WE ONLY HAVE 18 days left!!!

omg only 18 days?! i just finished episode 2x06 last night/early this morning. i need to watch at a faster pace if i'm going to get to season 3 in time to watch it before the movie screening.

(gotta be honest though, not really feeling this season so far.)

I told you, Season 2 is not as good. Too much boyfriend bullshit. Veronica is better than that, yeah? I *think* season 3 is better but don't quote me since I haven't watched it since it originally aired!

Definitely too much boyfriend bullshit. I just want my plucky private detective cuteheart; not all this interpersonal dramzorz. Kristen Bell is worth not skipping the season though. And Krysten Ritter being on the show was such a lovely surprise (I have a girl crush on her that is completely because of Breaking Bad). ♥

Oh good, I'm not the only one who hates Logan.

I really disliked S2 for a lot of reasons. The writing felt off and the acting was kind of stiff (like, idk what it was but Kristen's acting just wasn't as fluid and natural as it was in S1? like she was hamming up the humor and one-liners), and everything/everyone was just scattered and all over the place. I'm forever bitter and angry with what they did with Meg and the zero resolution with the situation with her family, and why they did what they did with Beaver/Cassidy. Just the more I'm reminded on what happened in that season the more I'm annoyed by it. :/

(S3 was better than S2 for sure, but S1 will always be the best, imho.)

Agreed on ALL ACCOUNTS. I really felt like Thomas was stretching when it came to the arc of the season, though I did like some of the stand-alone stories.

(I remember liking S3 a LOT more but I haven't watched it since it originally aired! But S1 was always the best)

Wow, that's a crazy busy week. Hope you get some time to relax.

Because everyone knows better than to ship Dick with anything.

LOL.

Thanks! At least my VM rewatch gives me time to unwind. And I took off my birthday next week so I have that to look forward to. :D

Busy week is busy! Although I'm starting to see how that could happen very easily on my end now. I've been at my new library less than two weeks, and I've already signed myself up for a staff training thing--optional, but it's focused on both WordPress blogging and Teen Books, so I couldn't not, y'know?

SO, CD!! I've listened to mine now, and I don't know most of these people, but I'd like to take a guess. Can I take a guess, if I put it under a spoiler tag?

oooooh what is this training?? I want to go! LOL. I just signed up for a Booklist Webinar in March that is about social media so woo-hoo for training :D

LOL sure, you can guess all you want. I'll try to post the official track list this week so you're not feeling tortured too long ;-)

It's for their WordPress blog--I know how to blog, and I've been thinking about shifting to WordPress for a while, so this is a great opportunity to learn the format.

So, tracks! (Well, the artists anyway--I've heard exactly one of these songs before.)


1 - Rhianna
2 - Paramore
4 - Either Fall Out Boy or Panic at the Disco (their voices sound so similar to me, but I lean towards Fall Out Boy)
7 - I have no idea who this is, BUT I LOVE IT - this is Rhoda's favorite song
12 - Paramore
13 - Guster, "Two Points for Honesty," live! I have that album, and I saw them live once. The drummer is amazing.
14 - No idea, but I'm hearing "Girl on Fire" and it amuses me (heee, Hunger Games reference!)
15 - Fall Out Boy (or possibly Panic--same as 4, either way) - is this a remix? It sounds like a remix.
20 - Paramore, and this also sounds like a remix


That's all I could figure out. There are a couple that sound familiar, but I can't quite place them.

I have a couple Wordpress blogs but LJ still seems more...friendly? I dunno, I feel weird posting just normal stuff on there, though I have been trying to cross post recently.

You are mostly right about all of them except for #1. (It's Panic, not FOB)

OMG wait, another GUSTER fan????? I didn't know there were any still around ;-)

Indeed--WordPress seems more professional, I guess. Which, if I'm going to be a proper writer, would be a useful sort of blog to have. I've been trying to use my [livejournal.com profile] glitter_n_gore account like that, but the other thing about LJ is non-user can't post except anonymously. Sharing and networking seems easier on WP. Anyway, I'm going to check it out. And get paid for it! :)

Aw nuts--as I said, that was my second guess. I do get them mixed up a lot.

OMG wait, another GUSTER fan????? I didn't know there were any still around ;-)
*fistbump*

My college had a few acapella groups that liked to cover their songs, and then they came to do a show and I was thoroughly blown away. "Demons" and "Either Way" are my favorite songs.

Talk about Throwback Photo, this is from 2007?? when Guster played at College Park, MD. I totally hunted down Bryan because i wanted to shake his hands, they were crazy callused LOL.

Yeah, WP definitely makes it easier to share and network and I think it's really good for focused blogs. I definitely recommend giving it a try. And, you know you have to follow me on there too right? LOL
