Finally

Yesterday, my best friend told me something I have been waiting for her to say for 8 years!!!
I cant tell you what it is though, because I promised her I wouldnt (but I will edit this when I am allowed to say)
Let me just tell you, that the revelation was like a breath of...well air, not sure if it was fresh or not, but it is definatly air.
(and I like the something that this is about, I mean, I like well enough...and I reeeeeeeally want my best friend to be happy, and if this makes her happy, then I want it as bad as she does)
And that is all.
good night!

Watching Things

 I went to see Salt.
it was interesting, there was a slight twist that I didnt predict, and there were things that were easy to predict.
I just got done watching Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. (the swedish version made in 2009)
can I just say amazing?
they did a very good job puttting author Steig Larsson's story to film, the actress who played Lisbeth actually embraced the character and became Lisbeth Salander, and the actor who played Micael Blomqvist was exactly who I pictured in the book.
I think they did the very best job.
There is to be an American version released in 2011, rumors are that Daniel Craig will be playing Blomqvist (which makes me happy)

I just finished watching the entire 5th season of CSI: NY and I forgot how funny that show is, meaning the zippy one-liners that the whole cast slings around. I think the writers are mad, mad, mad, genius's
And now I am watching the 5th season of Criminal Minds.
I like the 40 minute mind-freak that happens with police porcedurals and crime drama's.

I finished watching Being Human Season Two - I wasnt sure I would like it, and there were two things that didnt make sense to me, but all it all it was a pretty good season.

I watched The Girl Who Played with Fire - still good, not as wordy as the book, and got the point across.
I am watching CSI:NY Season 6, and I remembered how much Stella annoyed me and *spoiler alert* I am so glad that they replaced her for season 7.

Toy Story 3 was pretty much a waste of time (but it was saturday so no worries)

RED was hysterial, I read the graphic novel, but I will admit that the film was waaaaaaaaaaay better (I might be biased as a fan of Bruce Willis)
There is a british series I really like, Midsomer Murders, I am on set 16, unfortunatly, America only gets four of the episodes, there are more in a season in England.
And Doc Martin series 2 is on my tv stand to watch eventually.
(good thing about working at a library, I can get out movies and dvd's to watch whenever)

recently watched Sherlock, a modern spin on Sherlock Holmes, put on by BBC America, running on PBS until Dec 7th if you want to check it out (added bonus, one of the writers is Steve Moffat of Dr. Who fame.
and Watson is played by Martin Freeman - who played Arthur Dent on Hitchhikers Guide.
the link for the page is http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/sherlock/watch.html

Finished Ugly Betty. all the seasons. I am not entirely sure I like the way it ended, on one hand, I wanted her to end up with Daniel, as they now had a very close relationship, and I could see it becoming something more... on the other hand, I didnt, though they had been through alot together, it made me happier to think of them as very good friends. (he was 'casual' with Amanda again, until she decided to dump him for his 1/2 brother, which was typical Amanda, but sweet too in a way, but it left Daniel feeling alone, and we all know that he is the jeaous type anyway. I think that the writers did an amaizing job (though I was irritated at the whole Henry debacle. sheesh.) I am glad Betty followed her dreams though, and in London no less :)

I had a few wisdom teeth out recently, and I was watching season one of Community, which I find hysteical, and I really hope it stays on.
I also watched:  From Paris with Love (lol to John Travolta's character) Stardust (Charlie Cox is adorable, the way he laughed at everything makes me smile everytime) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (mostly because I was on an America Ferrera kick) and I watched Dragonball: Evolution (background noise mostly, I was home alone most of that day)


I am by no means a movie reviewer, these are just my thoughts on the things I've watched recently.
Enjoy

The Little Things

I tend to over-comtemplate.
I think alot, but I am often loath to act.
daydreaming doesnt get you anything, so you have to make lists, keep dream journals and, plan things out, so that when the time comes you are ready.
this being said, I do keep a journal, but sometimes, I want to share my thoughts and see if there are people out there who maybe think and or feel like I do.
I was thinking about all these social networking sites, blog sites, even the matchmaking sites.
(which I think are great, but if you are going to pay to meet people, just go to a bar, or a club, or well, hire an escort) but I am pretty nothing online can compaire with a real, audible, connection...
hmmm.
Just some more things to think about.

Fall meant changes (not just the leaves)

Well, there has been some happenings at my place of business (work) my best friend, who is also my co-worker, is going downtown to the admin. offices. she is going to be helping out while they search for a replacement admin.assistant. Unfortunatly, this means that we are down a man and though circulation offered us a PSA, I dont really think that the one they picked is a good match for our department, I think that Jenny asked him to work downstairs so he can be away from them (and the public) hehehehehe.
Yeah.
 Also, our recptionist, of many years (49 with the system) is retiring, and while I think her replacement is a sweet girl, I am really going to miss Ginny.  (and I cant figure out why the new girl keeps coming to me with her issues, I only know what I know and nothing more - though apparently I know a hell of alot more than she does)
Not only do I have to adjust to the new receptionist, but there have been other shifts in the past 6 months, that have taken time to get used to. I am still trying to understand why it takes 2 weeks for our supply orders to arrive (Angela was the bomb-diggity, and while I am glad for her oppourtunity and move to Reference, she was much more efficiant, and much quicker :) But I guess that sometimes things that used to be arent a priority anymore and we just have to get used to a slower order/delivery system.
So... these are the things I have to deal with at work.
Bright side, my sister is working at my branch, and we can ride together and eat lunch together, because she has a car, and I think that she will be more willing to do it :)

I am thinking of getting a loan to purchase a CAR!!!! as I am quite fed up with Dorcas and her shit.
She gets the car all week, and I have to be dropped off and picked up... and most saturdays, she works at 6am, which means that I have to get up early (which is NOT so much fun) and take her if I want to use the car...
She agreed to let my Aunt borrow it whenever she wants (this is the same Aunt who sold us the vehicle and said 'oh, yeah, as far as I know it runs great, and is insured til August (it was March when we bought it) she was going to vaccume it out, but her vaccume didnt work, so I got a fithy, full of dog hair and the lingering stale cigarette smell vehicle - well, ok, fine, no problem, I like to clean...but it then cost me over 500$ to get it inspected, and then two weeks later, we get a flat and there is NO TIRE IRON IN THE FUCKING CAR...I was irritated.
On top of all this, the battery craps out, and she cant find the reciept, so instead of paying a low fee (no more than 40$)and installing one ourselves, my stupid sister has the car towed and pays over 100$ for a battery.
So yeah, my aunt borrowed the car, and continues to whine about selling it (if she didnt want to then why the hell did she ??? I mean she was going to sell it, and knowing that Dorcas and I needed a car, she was going to offer it to us to use until she got a buyer...instead of giving us  a nice family discount (Aunt Pam sold Hannah their van for 100 plus tags so it was about 200$ for the car, but nooooooooooo. we are still paying off a 2,200 car. (and I am slightly bitter and annoyed that my meddling mother is making me share with my dumbass of a sister.

My best friend (whom I got a job with the company that I work for) is moving up(?)  I wish her well, but I really dont want her to leave. Because it means that we might get stuck with the troll,er,I mean, PSA that we were 'loaned'...
Grrr. I am used to a high turn over rate in Retail, I had nooooo idea that it would be this bad at the library.
