a list of things, in no particular order

1. My male Evansville peers seem to have a problem with pants fitting. Hey, I like to see some denim-covered ass, OK? Let's all try and go down a size, please.
2. If the kid acts like they know what they're doing for a school assignment, then the grandmother should let them do their thing, and not bother the librarian until the person with the actual assignment acknowledges needing said librarian's help.
3. Ooo, period cranky. Fun.
4. And here comes period sleepy! Good thing I've got those My So-Called Life episodes to watch. Rickie all grown up, here I come!
5. Simon mall gift certificates lose $2.50 every month after their first 7 months. You may be saying, So the fuck what, Jessy!?, but I'm wanting to buy one now that won't get won until the end of July, possibly won't even be picked up until August. Sucks.
6. Also, fye gift cards ordered online want you to put in all this info about the recipient. I think this means I've got to schlep over to the mall at some point soon.
7. I've got the stupid split shift tomorrow. Anyone want to hang out between 12:30 and 4:30, give or take?
8. Becca owns a gazebo. That's amazing.
9. I had something, but I lost it.
10. Is it wrong of me to use the survey form in my library preview issue of Shojo Beat to try and win Eyeko makeup and J-pop cds for myself?
11. Here's a question for the library folk: Why are patrons so against putting books on hold? I mean, why, when I tell people I can get them on the waiting list for one of the 63 unavailable copies of The Grim Grotto (exaggeration), they get a weird look on their face and say no thanks? The library already has your information, it's not like we need anything extra, nor are we going out of our way to perform some astronomical favor for you. Please, lady, just let me put in on hold. Thanks.
12. Half of our Spiderwick Chronicles are under DiTerlizzi. The other half are under Black. Discuss how much this drives me insane, keeping in mind I'm the girl whose personal library is shelved using the Library of Congress classifications.
13. I also have a database of all my records, cds, etc. on my computer, but it's sadly in need of updating.
14. How come more picture books aren't bigger than 8 1/2 x 11? I had this great idea to make document holders out of old kids' books, like those handbags made from old hardbacks, but is there a point in creating something to protect, say, a resume, if you still have to fold that item to place it in the protector?
15. I'm reading the first book in Scott Westerfeld's Midnighters series. I can't tell if I like it or not, but maybe it's just because of the awesomeness of the last book I read: Sunshine by Robin Mckinley. Totally filled the hole Joss Whedon left in my Tuesday nights o! so long ago.
16. Someone apparently just made a 911 hang up from the pay phone in the lobby. Bunch of savages in this town.
17. Have I mentioned my distaste for 10-12 year olds? Odd, then, that I had so much fun at the 5th grade retreat last week and am looking forward to the next one so much. Maybe it's just the sort of 10-12 year old boys who travel in packs around here.
18. I've also got a bunch of school visits coming up. This is always fun, especially now that I'm armed with the Magic Booktalking Sentence: "Who wants a book about vampires?" Works like a charm.
19. Werewolves are good too. God bless you, Stephen Cole.
20. You know what's weird? This browser window won't close. Just this one.
21. My typing suddenly went all to hell. Whenever that happens, it makes me think of Douglas Coupland and Miss Wyoming.
