random stuff I saw online today

It was a CRAZY busy day today at work. Started off rough with a bit of a *ahem* misunderstanding between a co-worker and I, then got crazy when I realized I never told our scheduler that my program was moved from 6 to 5:30, so I didn't have any time to eat my "dinner" before I set up. Luckily, two other library peeps came to my rescue - which was good because we had frakkin' 34 people show up for the Guitar Hero event. It was quite the showdown. The top two scorers were just points away from each other.

Anyway, so my brain is too fried for NaNo-ing right now...instead, I'll show you what other people have written today:

- Wil Wheaton made me squee when he revealed his hidden involvment in the latest Star Trek movie. I'll have to listen closely to see if I can hear him (oh wait, we'll buy it on blu-ray, the sound will be GLORIOUS!)

- I'm sure you've seen this already, but I gotta jump up and down about it again - Think Geek has their Tauntaun backpack up for pre-order! Not sure if I should buy it now or ask "Santa" (i.e. my parents) to buy it for me as my Christmas present...

- Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. make me smile. (thank you [livejournal.com profile] hermionesparkle for posting a link to this). I've only every really watched her on Buffy, but this interview in People magazine made me tear-up a bit. Her and Freddie are so OTP.

- Sesame Street has been on TV for FORTY YEARS! And, as usual, watching the highlight real for Season 40 makes me want to set up my DVR. Make sure you stick around for Ricky Gervais torturing Elmo...



- Speaking of Sesame, you can vote for your favorite clip from the 80s. This is really hard! There are so many great ones!!!!

Eep not good about the misunderstanding but awesome that people came to your aid. That's cool that you guys had a Guitar Hero event. Hehe glad I could help with sharing the SMG love. They really are OTP!! Ya know, I used to love Sesame Street as a kid but now puppets scare me. You'd think it'd be the other way around, haha.

That highlight reel was amazing! 40 years, and still delivering edu-tainment we can all enjoy. Happy Birthday, Sesame Street.

I got the e-mail about the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, and now I'm trying to justify pre-ordering one. *sigh*

On the plus side, I'll probably be able to sleep comfortably in it even if it's child-length because I'm such a shortie. ^_^

I was looking at the page and they are showing an adult using it, so I'm hoping it's adult-sized now. :D

I'm emailing my mom to make her say she will make it my christmas present haha.
