orangerfulcrazy busy day today - first day of Summer Reading Program registration. In the Young Adult department alone, we had 104. One Hundread and FOUR! That's crazy. Who are these teens that don't know they are supposed to be sullen and "too cool" for the library? And why are they not coming to my programs??? I hope some of them show up for my "Bookend Art/Decorate the Library" event next week. Or I will be sad as I just spent $30 on craft supplies...
Firefly Blu-Ray came in the mail today (Thank You Amazon's Gold Box deal). I cannot wait to watch it all over again plus all the extra special goodies. I <3 commentary.
I'm 100 pages into Wil Wheaton's Just a Geek and I'm really enjoying it. He's just so personable. And I think all of the stuff he's going through, even though he's an actor and working in a completely different profession than me, it's still all very relatable. The self-doubt, the voice in your head telling you to make a name for yourself...I was so happy to read that he's guest starring on Leverage this season since in the book he's talking about not getting a lot of jobs.
Part of me wants to re-watch Star Trek:The Next Generation but part of me is afraid that it won't have aged well at all. I'm a different TV viewer than I was however many years ago that was on the air. ST:TNG and ST:TOS were both episodic shows and I'm so used to series with HUGE plot arcs that span the entire season, with characters that change and develop from episode to episode. Will I be able to watch TNG and not feel frustrated by their static characterization? ST:TOS doesn't bother me as much because I've seen it many times in reruns and it was already old. But I grew up on TNG, so it doesn't feel as old...but sometimes I'll catch a few moments randomly on TV and it just looks so old.
Maybe Netflix will eventually have it streaming via Xbox...that's how I'm rewatching bits of TOS. Yeah, they are cheesy but the stories still work...or maybe I just know so many of the stories so well now, it doesn't matter how many blocks of wood they pass of as "computer discs".
Tomorrow is a belated birthday/early father's day celebration at my parents' place. I'm skipping out of work at 1pm and driving to their place since AD will have class all night. I got my dad a PS3 - partly because they are damn cool but mostly because I have massive guilt about telling him to buy an HD-DVD player last christmas. *headdesk* Plus, he's big into First Person Shooters and I think it would be easier for him to get his hands on games if he just had a console instead of a PC. Yeah, he'll have to learn the controls but in the end, I think there are more games to choose from.
Plus my mom can download Lumines and go crazy. haha.
Anyway, off to bed! Have a lovely Tuesday everyone!

Date: 2009-06-16 12:23 pm (UTC)We had our first batch of volunteer teens (4 boys) come in last night to help. They were pretty good, except for not being able to cut out T-shirt patterns (kids who register are going to write their names on and decorate the t-shirts, then we'll hang them like laundry lines from the kids' area ceiling).
