I haven't done a real post in awhile! I've been trying to get back into the work groove and it has not been easy. But everything will change on Monday when we open the doors to the patrons. Ugh.

ANYWAY - here is June in 30 seconds :)

Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] meathiel and [livejournal.com profile] doomdays, here is my One Second Every Day for the month of December.



Kinda sorta already dropped the ball on January LOL so I will try again in February!

NEW FULL LENGTH TRAILER!



So much fan service. A nice butt shot of Cavill AND the bathtub scene? LOLOL.

Seriously though, I am so excited for this series. Between this and the new season of Expanse, December is going to be good.

SNOW DAY TOMORROW!



We found out around 8:30 that the library will be closed tomorrow. Weather is supposed to be a MESS all day long, so I'm really glad they aren't making anyone go in. Plus Thursday it is supposed to go up in temperature so hopefully that will make clean up easier on the custodial staff.

Only downside is that tomorrow was going to be my first bilingual (Spanish/English) storytime all by myself, and I was all prepared. Now I'll have to wait until March to try it out.

Trying to finish the main quest for Witcher 3 because I need to have some closure. Kind of like Fallout: New Vegas, I want to complete the main quest and then I'll go dabble in the DLC later.

Anyway, I was running around, doing very serious monster hunting with Geralt and I knocked a bandit off of his horse. Apparently this rocked the horse's world and when I came back down the road a few minutes later, he was doing this:

UGH click through to see the video, for some reason Flickr won't/can't embed a video or maybe Dreamwidth can't handle it. It's probably not that funny but at 11:30 last night, my brain thought it was hilarious!

TMI but my period hit me with a vengeance today. I was a couple days late and it was like Mother Nature looked at her watch and was like "OH SHIT! SORRY!" and just BAM! ...luckily I am paranoid and always have emergency supplies in my work bag. So, another bonus for tomorrow is that I can just sleep because usually when this happens I am wiped the next day.

I'm going to do another post later and ramble about Fallout: New Vegas because a few of you were cool with that. And I think I might start the book cover meme that is going around because you all know I have access to plenty of books!

And the Polygon article that lead me to this video, good to read after for some creator insight (though the title of the article was very click-baity to me)

Another one of the great things about The Expanse moving to Prime is that the main titles won't have to be cut for length anymore. Rewatching the series now, I can see how many times they had to cut it down to make the show fit in it's 45 minute timeslot. And I just love everything about this opening - the beautiful time-lapse images of our galaxy, the haunting melody, the percussive beat behind it all...

FYI, season 3 will be up on Prime on February 8th and I *think* this is internationally, so if you have Amazon Prime, you should be able to watch the entire series streaming then. No excuses, mark your calendar because you'll want to binge it. But give yourself time between episodes to think about what happens.

I'm really enjoying my rewatch because I'm pacing myself (I'm watching while riding my exercise bike, so 20 minute sessions) and it gives me more time to reflect on characters and what not. We watched it all pretty fast the first time because we just wanted to know what was happening. This rewatch reminds me of when I watched Lord of the Rings for the second time - it's like "Hey, I know their names now!" LOL.

I'm so freakin' ready for 2019. I kinda want to rewatch the whole series again. I will never cancel my Prime as long as they keep this show going.

Also, it is so funny to see these guys smiling because they did not have a lot to smile about last season.

This show is quickly moving up my list to become one of my top shows.

I just finished the first book Leviathan Awakes last night and it was so weird reading just from Holden's and Miller's point of views. It was a different experience from the show because I didn't feel like you got to know all the characters as well since you only saw them as Holden or Miller. It was still good though. Amos was still a badass, Naomi was...also a badass. And Alex was Alex LOL. You just don't get any of the Earth storyline, which the apparently took from the second book and put into the series since they happen simultaneously.

I'm not sure if I could have read the book without watching the show first? It's hard to separate them right now because I feel like Season 1 followed the first book really closely. I liked the writing style, I mean, I can't tell you the last time I read a 500+ page book. And I read this in a little less than a month. Or maybe exactly a month as I took it with me to Wisconsin and that was the first week of July. I went ahead and ordered the second book from the library, but we will see when I get time to read it since I've got a few other titles on my desk right now that I want to get through first.

For some strange reason, this song from The Muppet Show popped into my head this morning and it does not want to go away. I had no idea it was a Shel Silverstein song/poem!



I miss this show. Wish Disney would release all of these on blu-ray.

I just finished watching Nanette, a stand-up special on Netflix with Tasmanian/Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby. I knew nothing about her before this special. I saw a few gifs on tumblr and read John Scalzi's reaction post so I was intrigued.

I was not prepared.

Several times during the special, I got goosebumps all over. By the end, I was shaking.

I just...I feel like everyone should watch it. One of the most honest things I've ever seen...

orangerful: (OMG)
I watched this without sound, which I think might have made it even funnier? But anyone, yeah I just lost it at my desk. That cow was just not having ANY of it.

If you have the time tonight, watch the whole thing. If not, take a moment to watch the last beautiful little carol here.



"It's in every one of us to be wise."

"Old friends, new friends, hoping we'll always be here with each other together on Christmas Day"

<3

I've seen everyone post the Kate McKinnon singing bit and Chappelle's monologue, but I hadn't seen this one.



TOO REAL! It's funny and depressing at the same time.

Reviews are starting to come out for Batman V Superman and, not surprising anyone, it's is overly serious, no fun, and pretty much typical of what DC has been giving us on the big screen for the past decade.

I'm guessing that this Jimmy Kimmel skit is more enjoyable than the entire film. And I don't even LIKE Jimmy Kimmel!

Finally got Bridge of Spies from the library!!! Checking it out to watch this weekend but I'm worried it won't be able to live up to the Jimmy Fallon bit:



DST has thrown off everything, my head has been bothering me for the past two days, sorry for lack of replies/comments!
