(no subject)

wow, this week went by FAST! I swear it was only monday a minute ago. It's probably speeding by because I have a programming assignment due on March 6th - I have to write up a storytime program and then present a book and a fingerplay in front of about 30 other librarians. That should be nervewracking fun!

Just finished 'sex and the slayer' and I LOVED it! I might not have agreed with everything that was said, but it brought up lots of interesting points. And it was nice to see the guys picked at too, since most of the time the writers just focus on Buffy or Willow or Faith when they talk about the characters. I think she touched upon every main and a few minor characters in this book. Good stuff.

I started book 2 of 'Ex Machina' yesterday too. I just really love this series. I hope I can get away with ordering it for the library system. It's the tamest of all the graphic novels I've read and enjoyed. I want to order 'Y' but there's that dominatrix issue...hm...

I'm getting nit-picky about new comics that come in to our branch. For some reason, we just got two Spiderman books and both have been put under Children's Fiction, and as far as I can tell, they are just comic book TPBs. So, are they really J-Fiction (which means anywhere from 3rd-6th grade) or should they be Y or adult. Perhaps they think they will circulate more in J Fiction. I dunno. I did send the 'batman begins' comic back yesterday with a request to change it to Y or Adult since the movie was PG-13...seems like a novelizations, graphic or not, should at least by YA.

btw - I posted two reviews this week at novel_graphics; one of WE3 and another of Blankets. (I checked out issue one of 'Planetary' and also a swamp thing collection yesterday so hopefully I'll post something about them soon)

( weekend plans etc.. )

that was just uncomfortable

Okay, so I tried the IMVU thing that demonqueen666 mentioned in her journal, and i have to say, it's just too damn freaky for me. I really found out something about my comfort zone. First - I do not do random chatting. I'll leave people random messages on their ljs but I don't initiate an IM unless I have something to say. So, I tried to set up an account, got done making my avatar, and it said "chat" so I hit the button...and it dropped me into a room with a totally random person. wtf?? And he's all "hey whats your msn screen name?" I was like, nooooooooo waaaaaaaay. hahah. get me the f* outta here! So, yeah I don't think it was my thing. I felt very weird staring at my poor Avatar sitting across from this other Avatar. She kept leaning back all sexy like and I was 'No! don't do that, we just met this person!'

No no...too weird for me. But thanks for telling me about it demonqueen666. I'll stick to IM or playing Sims 2. the two shall never meet.
