Nah, just kidding! I haven't been to a thrift shop in months! Not for lack of trying but for a lack of location! The nearest thrift shop is Savers in West Warwick and I don't exactly visit there everyday. I use to have to go there for shared branching, but now I have direct deposit. I do miss the lovely Canadian teller there, she was really nice and we swapped stories while she put my money in the bank. Anyways, now I just rap in my car to Macklemore's jams.
In other news, I just have to say that being the Social Media Coordinator for the Student ALA at URI is awesome. I was doing a live Facebook feed from our first conference(we are a newer chapter and haven't hosted a conference in a long time. And by long time that probably really means before I started school this year, but the way our president has explained it to me it might really be ages.) I quoted speakers during their slideshows(yes I was still paying attention). I quoted fabulous people, such as Barbara Kenney and Peter Bromberg. My next part of this project is to collect some narrations of the days events- you know, thoughts and opinions- and then post them to our blog. We're all busy so that part might take awhile.
If you haven't checked it out, I have a new YouTube video. It's a little dated(there are now 5 weeks left to the semester) but still pretty much the same is going on, minus the conference.
I don't have anything to review at the moment. Well, okay that's not exactly true. I watched Timeline last night, not the best trailer but it came out ten years ago. Woah, that's a thought. Gerard Butler has the great abs today that he did then...mmm. Oh well anyways, it's this lovely little science fiction film that I feel no one has seen. A few months ago, I caught part of it on tv. Just this epic fight scene with French speaking and subtitles. I watched most of the rest of it, but had to continue on-slash-I missed the beginning and that really bugs me about movies. So, finally, Netflix got it and then I had been in line for at least a year at that point- but I got it this week. I recently read an article, which I cite in my YouTube video. It was about the influence of technology in science fiction films and it's ratio to technology designers. It's a neat article, it references Star Trek: The Next Generation a lot. So, since it doesn't seem to have been viewed a lot, it's not wonder we haven't created worm-hole finding, particle accelorating time machines. I wouldn't mind Castlegard, France, I would just have to remember that I cannot utter a word of French...dommage.
Also, I have been dying waiting for Game of Thrones Season 3. While The Walking Dead is at the peak for this season(it ends next week!)I am ready for the mother of dragons. (Team Danaerys!) Also, Doctor Who begins soon.
I am looking into watching Arrow. I downloaded a comic book app onto my iPad(oh yes, I am a librarian and I bought a iPad. "Why?" you ask. Simple. Three reasons and they all lead to England. 1) Textbooks are way cheaper, as well as weightless, on an e-reader. 2) Skype is free, and as well as instant, when talking to my parents and friends back home. 3) Google Docs has made it easy for me to type an assignment and open it in another location. Why not use my ASUS that I spent money on (and still own) from June? Because it is not safe for travel. At all. One tiny bump and the drivers can derail and slowly my 17.1" laptop will fade. Anyways, I really thought about it and only used part of my school loan return.) But paying for some comic books costs. So, I'd like to watch Arrow(if I can ever find it online) and get to learn this super hero, whom is a favourite of a new friend of mine.
And that is where I leave you. Almost 11pm and curious. But there's so much time and so little to do....wait a minute, strike that..reverse it. Oh yes, the last few weeks of my first year of graduate school are here. It's time to get serious. So, goodnight!
