justin got to come home today! yay! i think he’s still hurting a lot but i’m sure he feels better being at his own place.

every time a patron checks out or returns Karen Kingsbury’s Fame i always sing, “FAME! i’m gonna live forevah! i’m gonna learn how to fly!…” and if i’m really lucky, they’re also checking out/returning Karen Kingsbury’s Remember. so then i get to sing, “remember, remember, remember, remember my name. FAME! i’m gonna live forevah!…” and i gotta say that so far? none of the patrons have reacted. i’m talking i’ve done this for over a year. and not one patron has responded. should i give this joke up? or, is it that i should employ my coworkers to join me as back up singers and add some choreography?
i thought so.

i am still coughing but not as much as yesterday. however, i’ve kind of lost my voice. and it sounds hilarious. or pathetic. it sounds pathetic, but also like mickey mouse. so i’m glad i didn’t have to work at the ‘brary. cos me answering the phone wouldn’t have gone well, i’m sure.

“squeak squeak”

“hello? is this the liberry?”

“squeak squeak”

“hello? anyone? liberry?”

mmm, liberries are my favorite. if we had a pint of liberries we could make a pie or cobbler. or, we could use them to choke people who say liberry.

 

my pal over at the left bank showed me this awesome site that i’m sure all of you cool and hip people already know about, skreemr. i’m sorta addicted to it. and if i’m at home on the computer i’ve got it pulled up and am using it to listen to all the songs i love so much but would be too embarrassed to buy, or would buy but only listen to it once or twice. i’ve listened to a lot (A LOT) of Pointer Sisters. George Benson, Franki Valli, Pete Seeger, Robbie Dupree (go listen to “Steal Away” right now. and if you’re not sucked back into 1980, then nothing will suck you. back. to 1980.)kylie minogue (“I Should Be So Lucky” my friends and i were sitting around one evening and this song came on and when it got to the chorus i busted out all singing and everyone was all, “you know this song? i’ve never heard of it.” and they all acted like they’d never heard of it. well, they should be so lucky. it was a puzzlement that i had heard of something that they haven’t because believe you me, my friends have heard it all.)

oh and speaking of Kylie Minogue (and how come i’m the only one i know who has ever talked about her, anyway?) am i crazy out of my mind? because i thought she did the song “Toxic”, but i can only find Britney Spears’ singing it. but i’m pretty sure Kylie Minogue did it too, and in the video she was dancing all over the back of a semi-truck? or maybe it was a train? did i dream this because i can’t find it. and i really don’t think i could make this up. and i’m going to stop talking about kyile minogue now. before i lose all my cool points.
too late!
