Sundries

- I'm hoping I'm on the mend. I don't feel exhausted, I just feel kind of...weird. Spaced out and a tiny bit lightheaded. Do not like. Not sure what's up.

+ Is anyone out there a fan of the show/podcast "A Complete Guide to Everything"? Caught some of it the other day and it was pretty damn funny.

+ I figured out how to use the gmail app on my blackberry to check ALL of my gmail accounts without comingling them. I'm more than aware of the fact that this may not be news to anyone but me, but I'm quite excited by it. It's made parts of my life much easier.

+ Thanks to my CSA, I have many pears. I think a Pear Cobbler is in my immediate future. I would make the Pushing Daisies pear gruyere pie, but I don't have the means or equipment to make my own crust (I don't have even a hand mixer. Nor do I have the energy right now. But someday...)

- Dear Yankees, kindly yank your head out of your asses. WTF? And Derek? I. Can't. Even. What the hell, man?

+ So yesterday I met up briefly with airspaniel so that I could pass on S4 of Supernatural on to her for rockradar's perusal. (He's trying to catch up by the premiere. I am in favor of this.) We met near the library, because I had books to return and books to retrieve.

- One of my reserves wasn't on the shelf, so when I brought my other reserve and another book I wanted that they happened to have on the shelf, I asked the librarian about it, nicely, because I figured that perhaps they hadn't had a chance to put it on the shelf, or maybe they were holding it behind the counter (it's the first volume of Scott Pilgrim, which is popular). She starts screaming at me that "if it ain't on the shelf it ain't my damn problem" and muttering that "if somebody take the book, it ain't my damn fault. Why is this my problem?" It was radically different than the service I usually get at the branch of that library - usually everyone is professional and nice. This same woman also yelled at me for the cookbook that was sitting on the shelf of the library, because the computer was having issues checking it out.
Her: "They got this for you from the desk, right?"
Me: No, it was on the shelf.
Her: That can't be. The computer says it wasn't on the shelf.
Me: But it was on the shelf.
Her: No it wasn't.
airspaniel: Uh, I was with her the entire time, and I can assure you that no one helped us, and she just got that book from the shelf.
Her: For real? Hm. Let me see your card. ::swipes card, Checks out book:: Huh.

I just. Really? Where in hell did they find this woman?

- Just what the world needed: Bridalplasty, a show that makes Bridezillas look like Frontline. The only comfort I can take from this is that The Soup will probably have an excellent time with this train wreck. Ugh.

+ TV has been love, lately. Vampire Diaries has been awesome, as has Covert Affairs. Life Unexpected came back swinging, and Gossip Girl has sharpened some of its writing. And remembered that it's best when it's intentionally funny. Boardwalk Empire is Sunday! All good things. :)

- If you are from New York and voted for Carl Palladino in the primary, we're probably going to have words. I can't believe this racist, sexist, mind-blowingly evil bastard actually managed to carry a nomination. I am voting for Cuomo in November only because he's not this guy. ::shudder::

+ Tomorrow is FRIDAY. And despite having a lovely weekend in the country last week, I really have less than nothing planned this weekend. And you know what? That's awesome. I probably need some recovery time.
