I had my teen program tonight - "Gamer Gathering : Musical Edition". It went very well, we had 14 kids show up! Lots of new faces. And a lot more girls! I think that is because we offered DDR. We also had Guitar Hero set up, and a Wii - because what is a video game party without a Wii??

I'm hoping I can do more of these next year. I'd like to have them every 3 months or so. Make it a regularly scheduled event sort of thing, instead of random dates. The kids love them, and I had one parent thank me before she left, saying that she was so happy we had programs like this so the kids had somewhere to hang out and she didn't have to worry about them. I think it helps our relationship with the teens too. Hopefully they won't be afraid of me as much. They'll probably say "Hey, she was the librarian that sucked so bad at Guitar Hero, perhaps I'll ask her a question about my homework."

YAY! I got a Fedex notice in my email which means my Battlestar Galactica Series 2 MiniMates have shipped! I cannot wait to see how cute they look! I mean, Tigh comes with a flask! How great is that? Definitely need to clear space on my desk to make room for them...

I have now watched 4 episodes of 'Black Books'. Dylan Moran seems to be a cross between John Cusack and Dave Matthews - which means I think he's attractive but at the same time he's a bit twitchy and odd. Plus, he's Irish. So, pretty much I can't look away but something is just not right with that boy. He is hilarious though. The entire cast is. We watched 'The Blackout' tonight, and Manny had had a ton of espresso and coffee and was running around the bookstore and all I could think was "Yeah, that is SO heiland_coo & I after one iced coffee!"

Mmmmm...iced coffee....I should get up early tomorrow and spin by Dunkin Donuts and get one of those disgustingly delicious drinks. (Seriously, I do not like coffee but something about iced coffee....) Only $1.04!

Speaking of mini-mates... I have your Starbuck at school with me, and I promise I'll mail it to you within the next couple of weeks. I'm sorry I've had it for so long! :(

I had wondered if she was lost in the shuffle. :) Good to know that you still have her! I sent you my updated mailing addy, right? Apt 14?

That's pretty interesting. I know that I would most definitely be up for it. ^_^

Yup! I'll pick up a little box when I go shopping this weekend and mail her out!

I am so behind. I don't even have series one of the Battlestar minimates. I really loved the X-Files Palz that was along the same line. I wanted to get the Battlestar minimates but just didn't. Hopefully I can find a good deal somewhere online for both series.

I love Black Books :D. I got to see Dylan Moran live earlier this year - and he was so like Bernard it was teh awesome!

Black Books is so freakin' funny! I can't wait to get the second season. I couldn't stop laughing in the episode about the pope's wine. I wish we could answer the phone at the library like he did in the first episode, "of course we have lord of the flies, it's a library."

the line I want to say was something along the lines of "Enjoy that book. It's not very good, but it's short" I was falling over. That, and when he goes to the movies and buys food - "excuse me, there seems to be some mistake. I bought a drink and some popcorn and now I have no money." LOL!

I've love to see some of his stand-up. He just cracks me up on the show.

I've seen a bunch at Suncoast and comic book stores (that's actually how I got my Kobol Six variant). And now Series 3 is up for pre-order! *is tempted*
