ah, the wonders of summer weekends....

even though I'll be spending the day alone in my house, I can get up as late as I want! 8:30 here I come!

so, today I:

-woke up at 7:30. work starts at 10:00

-had a very impatient person behind me, who seemed to be talking on her phone, drinking an iced coffee, and smoking a cigarette all at the same time as she was yelling at me and flipping me off

-had a very slow first hour, then a very busy second- and third-hours, which included:

1 curly-blonde-headed adorable little girl, who liked to throw books on the floor and who attempted to climb one of the shelves, deliberately kicking the books that belonged on that shelf onto the floor. her father (I assume) was in the next room and only looked up when the child was screaming

2 children who liked to ask me to find them books, then didn't look at them before rejecting them and telling me to put them back

3 people that had overdue fines in excess of 5 dollars, and who refused to pay them

and a family of 4 that consisted of: an adorable little girl of a toddler who wouldn't stop screaming until I gave her a sticker a boy who liked to empty out shelves of books and carry them around like he was going to check them out, until his mother made him pick a few, and dropped the others on the ground; a father that encouraged the boy to pick (and ultimately reject) more books; and a mother who didn't have a library card.

-the last hour was ok, our regulars came in and it was fine. except one of the ladies that came in read the Twilight series. she and I had similar opinions (great characters, so-so-and-lower everything else), except she was on Team Jacob. and I'm on Team Jasper-because-Edward's-a-sparkly-emo-who's-so-far-in-the-closet-he's-having-adventures-in-Narnia-and-Jacob's-too-good-for-Bella-so-she-should-just-disappear-to-the-Land-of-the-Mary-Sues-and-let-Jasper-and-everyone-else-be-semi-cool-on-their-own

then when I got home, I cleaned the living room, and watched Cats by Andrew Lloyd Weber. it was.... interesting and frankly quite confusing, but was really awesome. I mean, what's not to love about freakishly-flexible people in scarily-accurate makeup and skin-tight body suits with attached tails and nekomimi? wait, let me rephrase that. while odd, the play was excellently choreographed and the music was amazing, so regardless of the content and relative attractiveness of various characters, it was definitely worth seeing and I would like to see it live. there, that sounds more intelligent and less creeper-ish, right? anyway, just go here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cats_(musical)

after that was done, another musical came on, called Once Upon A Mattress. think Princess And The Pea, only make the queen a scheming control-freak, the king a mute, the prince a complete mama's boy, and the princess basically like Fiona from Shrek. add musical numbers, choreography, and a dash of trippy, and there you have it!

anyway, now I am tired, and have to clean my room tomorrow, so night night!
