Strange phenomenon

Florence is weird. Or maybe, I'm weird. Either way, something weird this way comes. I'm unsure whether it is where I live or not, but I'm finding that things taste differently than they used to. I automatically blame it on the geography since everything else about this town is weird, but maybe my tastebuds are changing in my old age.

For instance, I drank a Sunkist today. Granted, I normally drink diet sodas but I thought I'd splurge and drink a regular. It's Friday, after all. However, it didn't taste like orange soda. It tasted more like...Chinese noodles...but liquid. And then I splurged again (since I couldn't finish the Sunkist...would you drink Chinese noodles? I didn't think so.) and bought a bag of Pizzaria Pretzel flavor Combos. Best ever. But once again, a strange thing happened. It didn't taste the way it should taste, it tasted more like a garden salad, or maybe just spinach leaves. It was really weird.

Now I kind of feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, but without the awesome theme song. Instead, I have "Copa Cabana" going through my head. Doesn't quite match. Is it a full moon tonight or what?

Reference question of the week

A 7 or 8-year-old approaches the desk:

"Do you have any kids books?"

Me...in my head: "Um...we might have one or two."

I turns out he wanted a picture book about a black lab. And I found one about a black lab named Sally! best ever!

Sorry I've been MIA on the blog-scene lately. Work has been wonderful, but taking up most of the space in my brain. You know how when you get in touch with someone you haven't spoken with in a long time and then when you talk you have so much to say, you just don't say anything? Well, it's kind of like that.

There is a good piece of news. My co-worker and I got a wonderful band to do a concert at the library for teens in June! They're called The High Strung and I think they're going to be a real hit. They're going to ONE library each STATE for the summer and they're coming to the one I work at! Yay!

I'm working on some more pics so I can have an actual interesting blog someday... :)

Uninspired

I got nothin'.

Sorry, I'll get there, but I'm just not feelin' it.

Except this:

cats + plastic = heaven...for them (and a mess...for me)

Reference question of the week

"Do you have any books on places?"




Turns out, this patron wanted some books about Jamaica. Library patrons are so weird and vague. However, librarians are usually just as weird but specific. Strange world we live in.

Oh yeah, and by the way. Today was highly, highly superior to yesterday. I think I turned over a new leaf while I was sleeping last night. Woke up in a fantastic mood and continued the day feeling sparkly and a-okay. I don't remember my dreams but I must have solved some big existential dilemma I was having subconsciously. Either that, or I married Johnny Depp and please...who WOULDN'T wake up in a fantastic mood?
