Confession Time

OK, I needed a break from my LATI project, so I thought I would do a short post. I realized something about myself today, something a bit embarrassing, but something I cannot deny. Confession Time: I love reality TV. I know, tragic, especially for a librarian- what can I say. But don't judge me too harshly, I'm not into shows like "Paris Hiltons BFF", "Realworld" or anything like that.
While I know it's reality TV, I like to think that the shows I enjoy are by far much more superior to that crap that somehow passes for TV.


So here it is, a list of the shows I enjoy watching.

- The Real Housewives of New York City
- The Little Couple
- 17 Kids and Counting
- True Life
- Top Chef
- Raising Sextuplets
- Little People Big World
- Say Yes to the Dress
- Cake Boss
- Ice Road Truckers
- Ace of Cakes
- America's Next Top Model
- Project Runway
- The Fashion Show
- Bridezillas
- College Life
- Worlds Deadliest Catch
- The Rachel Zoe Project
- Run's House
- Toddlers and Tiaras
- Tori & Dean: Homesweet Hollywood
- What Not to Wear
- Flipping Out
- Tabathas Salon Takeover

Now, some of these I watch if they're on reruns, some I like to watch every week and some I just enjoy once in a while if I happen to see it on.

I do enjoy normal, scripted shows too, but apparently not as much as reality TV. To be honest, I just don't think there's a lot of good scripted shows out there any more. I just find reality TV fascinating, even if it's not "realistic". But to me, it's usually a lot more "realistic" than scripted shows. I'm sorry, but in the real world, no crime is solved by some hot chick in heels within a week, leaving her enough time to hang out at the bar enjoying martinis with her latest boy-toy.

Here are the scripted shows I enjoy watching.

- House
- Gilmore Girls (reruns)
- 30 Rock
- The Office
- Glee

Wow, that's all I can think of. That's sad. Oh, I guess we can add all of the news networks into a miscellaneous category.

Well, that's it, finally done with my confession. This post has made me realize that I need to read more, because apparently even though I typically read two or more books a week, I have too much time on my hands.

The Virginia Renaissance Faire

I went to VARF over the weekend with my sister, Amber, and her friend, Lisa. We had such a great time, as we always do. It was very hot and humid, but not as bad as the last time. We even won the costume contest, thanks entirely to the lovely craftsmanship of Amber- she is amazing! Our prize was a portrait session with on of Strattforshire's local merchants. Here is a sample of the session, more to come once I finish photoshoping them. Enjoy!

If only...

If I had $55 to blow right this second, I wouldn't even hesitate to purchase this delicious item.

I think that pretty much sums me up.

"Get Your Tech On"

OK, so at work we're having a contest to see who can come up with the name for our upcoming Staff Day. The day is all about technology and we're going to cover Facebook, Twitter, etc. I proposed using "Get Ur Tech On", but I didn't stop there- of course not. I changed the lyrics of Missy Elliots fabulous song, "Get Ur Freak On" to work with "Get Ur Tech On" and here is what I came up with. It's not my best performance, but it works. Enjoy my embarrassment.

YALSA: Teen and Technology

OK, so this is going to be very quick. I'm currently attending a YALSA Teen & Technology workshop and it's giving me SO much to think about! I am very excited to share my newfound knowledge with my colleagues and implement some of the things we've been talking about at my library. I will write all about it tomorrow since I only have a few minutes left of break time, but here's a little bit of what we've done thus far since Robin and I got here last night:

Went bowling. Robins attempt.

My attempt.

Slept here, which made both Robin and I feel ill. Not suggested!

That's all for now! Check back for the rest!

Test 1, 2, 3... anything but that.
