orangerfulwow, 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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)
Tomorrow Perri and Alan are coming over to watch '40 year old virgin' and just chill. I haven't seen them in person in FOREVER (though I've crank called Perri at work and seen Alan in WoW form). I'm looking forward to that! Wonder if I can get Alan to sing a little karaoke for us too. He's probably be a worthy opponent haha.
Saturday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
destertale will meet me at the Crofton branch for some 501st action. The stormtroopers will be out in full force and I can't wait to see the kids faces! jimithingy did some laundry for me this week so my DCSWCC shirt is nice and clean so I can represent! I'm also hoping to get some Chipotle afterwards for lunch.
I have a 3 day weekend coming up in March too. At least, I hope I do. I e-mailed out to get rid of the sunday I signed up to work, and I get monday off because the training program is both friday and saturday the next week, so it's to make up for that. I'd really like to run off and do something fun withjimithingy though I do not know what. *plots*
I need to work on my icons forthe_showcase and I somehow managed to survive round 2 of actor_lims with another textless icon. *phew*
30 minutes until we close! woo-hoo.
