ROCK N ROLL & DEMONS & STUFF! I've only seen one of these , but apparently "rockers possessed by demons or into satanic rituals or just plain evil" was at one point a truly booming genre. Maybe I should start making trailer/movie clip playlists. Coming up next: WHEN PUPPETS & DOLLS ATTACK!

SO -- Nikki and Al were nice enough to get me GROWING PAINS trading cards for my birthday, and these, paired with the rest of my collection, made me realize I should become a SERIOUS CARD COLLECTOR. So far I've got: garbage pail kids, super girl, harry & the hendersons, TERRORIST ATTACKS (see some blog from november)! It only makes sense to get some gorpy binder and throw in some cards. This requires a visit to the Fort Collins Flea Market though where the trading cards flow like wine.
I just realized that QVC showed Quacker Factory FOUR DAYS IN A ROW!!!!!!! WTF. I really need to be more strategic with my DVR. In case you don't know, Quacker Factory is an elegant line of women's clothing aka embellished sweaters & bejeweled sweatpants & ladies talking about how genius and versatile the clothing is. This morning I watched a line of hideous clothing being sold and heard this quote: "TUNICS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 1,000s OF YEARS!" SO TRUE? I, LOVE, INFORMERCIALS!!!!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone! I spent my birthday hungover after way too many margs, martinis, and stumbles into ESPN ZONE and bad lodo bars. Then I had a nice dinner out and CUPCAKES courtesy of Leslee. CANTELOUPE FLAVORED!!!!! Oh, and went to Vegas.

so, check out a couple of my new favorite songs/videos. I can't stop downloading / listening to italo disco songs ! It's like a whole undiscovered cache of 80's songs
Also, the new series I decided to start watching is...SILK STALKINGS. GREAT 90's wardrobe! I wish I could find a nice yellow suit to wear in Las Vegas next weekend.</p>
AND...I finally finished My Bloody Valentine. TOTALLY good! I would be pretty pissed off too if somebody was having a valentine's dance while a mine caved in on me!

So I should just accept and move on from the fact that I am kind of interested in never watching a seriously good movie again. Sure, I'll do it, but apparently I'd rather watch SHOCK EM DEAD for the third time: a sad tale about a guy who sells his soul to a creepy voodoo lady (THE DEMONIC WORLD) so he can be a rock star. Seriously, so shitty.
I have to return There Will Be Blood unwatched today because it's way overdue, but apparently I'm ok with watching a Traci Lords movie again. Sorry dudes.
p.s this blog title is the name of a fabulous five book, I had to look at my young adult novel book shelf for inspiration and that's what I came up with.
p.p.s I definitely post on my MYSPACE BLOG more than here. So I copied and pasted this. I'm sure my 1 reader will be super disappointed.

so, I seem to love making new years resolutions kind of non seriously. Most of mine this year are hobby oriented -- I really want to get a keyboard and start playing the piano again, and I want to TRY writing. I have three short story ideas and I kind of want to just attempt to actually write them. I will probably never show anyone else though! I still am convinced I am not a very good writer, but I would be interested in TRYING at least, for FUN. Imagine all the floaty vampire stories I could write.
That's it. I've been kind of stressed/anxious/bummed for the past few months, but my mood improves times gazillion if I'm exercising regularly and organized. That's really depressing and adult like and BORING! It's really just awful, but I can't change it, so if I'm going to fulfill one of my other new years resolutions, which is to be FUNNER, then I'm going to have to keep it up. I also need to read more books this year again because my number in 2007 was just sad. But maybe that's because I don't write down all the embarrassing trash I read, only trash I can be proud of like Flowers in the Attic.
My favorite song right now is MIRACLES by JEFF STARSHIP. TOTS GOOD.
Today some couple was having a picnic date in the library at the top of the stairs. Apparently they had a whole SPREAD and were cuddling. GODDAMN THAT'S ROMANTIC.

my voice must be as deep as the deepest, darkest ocean. it gets commented on by patrons at the library AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I can't even COUNT the number of times someone has commented on it. Usually they say something positive, though once in awhile it just sounds like a backhanded compliment. Today some lady told me that my voice is " SO DEEEP AND MUSKY!!!!!!!!!!" (that's right, musky, not husky) and that "SOMEBODY IS GOIN TO ASK YOU TO DATE WITH THEM IF THEY AREN'T MARRIED JUST CAUSE OF THAT VOICE!!!!!!!!!"
fellas?

My livejournal REALLY needs a new look...how is it I seem to know nothin about the internets beyond looking at stupid websites? I better fix this before I'm a real librarian.
I don't know if anybody watches ROCK OF LOVE, the new reality show on vh1 starring Bret Michaels, but you should probably start. One of the front runners is a beefy southern woman named RODEO, who is definitely Bret's soul mate. While perusing a fitness magazine today (yeah, yeah) I saw an ad for a product called REDLINE: "THE WORLD'S MOST POTENT FAT LOSS & ENERGY MATRIX!" The most potent in the WORLD, y'all. Anyway, the ad features a before and after picture of the aforementioned RODEO. She has on a bejeweld bikini and smart pearls and is looking BUFF AS EVER. Anyway, thought you should know. Times like this I really wish I had a scanner. I don't even have a printer -- not really with the times at all, am I?
I had two moments of klutziness today: I stopped at the 711 to get a soda and a chocolate truffle. The truffle apparently had melted so the inside spilled all over my FACE, HAND, AND BOD. I had to drive home covered in chocolate. THEN, I spilled salsa on my rug. Of course I missed the easy-to-clean wood floor and got it right in the middle of my fuzzy red rug. VOMIT!
I was in California last week and will share pictures soon, maybe. Maybe I will go write a negative review of that Lindor truffle, too.

I have the post vacation blues, so I wrote another amazon review:
just as the desert missed the rain..., July 25, 2007
A Kid's Review
I would like to shout from the mountaintops all about the true genius and convenience of the twizzler pull n peel. I thought liquorice was the most perfect of foods, the way the red goes into your mouth and tastes like delicious cherry or strawbrerries. But then life had to go and give me this wonderful gift -- a liquorice that pulls just as it peels. All I have to do is tug on one of the delicate red strands and it glides off and goes into my mouth after I put it there. I can't wait, just thinkin about it!
SIGH.

For my first entry in 2007 (how sad!??!?) I will show you the one amazon review I've ever written, for a chocolate bar variety pack. You can't tell, but I gave it 5 Stars, FYI:
FIVE STARS, straight from zeus, May 4, 2007
By Kendra Bangs (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This fun pack is a veritable taste sensation. I thought perhaps I was dreaming when I opened up the snickers and smelled the sweet aroma of nuts and chocolate -- nothing beats biting into that succulent chocolate bar! At least that's what I thought, until I unveiled the crispy crunchy twix bar. To do this is a true revelation, as the cookie and the caramel mingling sinfully with the chocolate is like dying and going to heaven. The fact that you can top off this delightful combo by unsheathing a Mars bar or the ever decadent 3 Musketeers -- well, it's truly a miracle indeed.

p.s -- maybe I will start posting more, in the second half of 2007.

currently, during the second blizzard in a single week, I am drinking wine and watching a lifetime tv movie. why don't I have the lifetime movie network? the movie is called FATAL TRUST and I am giving mandee a play by play, whether she likes it or not. This doctor is CRAZY, Y'ALL!
Not quite as good as She Fought Alone, but NOT BAD!

These are all pretty much my life right now. Well -- except there is no raw survival and no sexy animated love making on bear skin rugs and no killers closing in. BUT -- just the same -- SNOWBOUND, like in a Christopher Pike novel. If you ask me the third picture looks most exciting -- skiing down a mountain while giant heads haunt you in the sky. Talk about thrilling! Does walking to the corner store for a bottle of champagne while in the process getting numb toes count as RAW SURVIVAL?

My latest brain storm is something I'm SUPER EXCITED ABOUT. I don't know why I get so excited about these sorts of things, things I'm not even sure if I'm being serious about -- am I this excited for a JOKE?? I think maybe I am serious, actually. I can never tell! ANYWAY, inspired by the winged and mystical PEGASUS FIGURINE that Andrea brought me from Mexico, I have decided to rescue my shadow box from my parent's house and fill it to the BRIM with BLING aka shiny wizards and hideous fairies and things only a 12 year old girl would like. I mean seriously -- SHADOW BOXES? These things are MADE for 70 year old women, and I can't wait!
So, I got a slight (half time) promotion at work and now will sort of be doing a bit of everything. Shelving, Clerking, Displays, and some other projects. This will be perfect and once I decide to finally go get my MLS I can drop the shelving portion of the job and will have a built in part time job for school! On a creepy patron note, though -- there is this one dude who looks at medical type close up shots of vaginas. I don't even think it's porn, just clinical pictures. I also caught a glimpse of some dude looking at pictures of women in WHITE BRIEFS. Sometimes I hate wearing a nametag, especially when people who give me the CHILLS (not in a good way) call me by my name! Also -- some group was having a PIZZA PARTY in the library yesterday !
A couple of other notes -- I am SO EXCITED for the holidays. Two long weekends in a row! Also, tonight my friend had on a shirt that featured cats in cowboy boots. It really, really, doesn't get much better than that.

I promise a new update soon, but first, I wanted to post a couple of my favorite author photos. Working at the library, I really see the best of the BEST.
Dude is totally shrouded in mystery. Notice his dog in the corner, and how he is all leaning and badass against some stump. There are SEVERAL great variations on this one!!
Check out how she is SO COMPLETELY COOL that she is walking in slow motion.. Those lights are just WHIZZING by her! The jeans are totally middle aged woman but check out the pleather coat. The new book by said author features a DIFFERENT CITY scene. She really mixes it up, walking the big bad city streets.
Also, I've also been lucky enough to finally see QUACKER FACTORY, on qvc. If you ever need a bedazzled sweater with a snowman or some candy canes, or 3-D butterflies, then this is the place to go. The woman also wrote a book that looks AMAZING:
WOW. On that note, I am kinda drunk and totally ate too much and am going to go watch some SUPERNATURAL on my sister's mini dvd player.
Right now I suggest the book FUNNY LITTLE MONKEY by Andrew Auseon and I promise, contrary to what you might believe, that you can trust my suggestions. I THINK. I decided I need to buy another book case STRICTLY to feature all of my young adult novels but only the ones with awesome outdated covers.

I am an old lady -- REALLY. I swear, every night, I am DEAD by 7 PM!!! I won't let myself sleep that early but I lay there and do absolutely nothing (WATCH TV). I hate this. Mayb e I am still jet lagged or maybe I am OLD or maybe I'm SICK IN THE FACE!!
My trip was great by the way -- someday, when I fix my internet, I will post pictures.
Highlights include: amazin people in glasgow, amazin buildings in glasgow, shirtless russians doing pushups in the hostel hallway, walking through the pouring rain across tower bridge to the tower of london, seeing dj wheelie at the tentacles of poseidon (a dj who played nothing but 50s 45s and had dancing barbies attached to his dj stand, otherwise known as the wheeletes), takin the underground (but not taking luggage on it), playin pictionary, mandee djing and clearin the dance floor with elo at my suggestion, etc, etc.
now I am back to boring life but that's ok because I've got my LIFE PLAN to deal with which is a list that includes some huge matters such as losing 30 pounds, reading more CLASSICS and non fiction -- and then I've got some things I can do in ten minutes, like fixing my wireless! It's on a torn out piece of notebook paper I will probably lose. GREAT, this provides another reason to go SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOPPING.
i need a new crush. or maybe not. I just don't know anymore! I guess in order for that to happen I need to stop putting on sweats at 7 pm every night. Not only sweats y'all, SWEAT SHORTS!!

latest favorites --
books: the keep by jennifer egan
charlotte sometimes by penelope farmer
special topics in calamity physics by marisha pessl
the book thief by mark zusack
bands: junior boys (PLAYING ON WEDNESDAY)
asobi seksu
sparks
the pipettes
JAN TERRI (youtube her asap, if you haven't already)
tv things: the office season two
desperately seeking susan on ON DEMAND.
Fall is here and that means I feel nostalgic about 98% of the time, as opposed to 90. THAT'S OK THOUGH. I went on a walk around the park this morning and there was some shirtless middle aged dude just STRUTTING AROUND. It looked like he had been baking in the sun for about 12 days and he was prancin around so slow like he thought he was a REAL HUNK OF MAN. I couldn't make eye contact (although I've realized I have a real problem with this, not just with shirtless hairy dudes).
My big plans for the day are to go to the coffee shop and read and go grocery shopping and make salmon. I NEVER COOK and it sounds fun today. Most of my time is spent looking forward to my trip, lately. I don't know -- it's so weird when I realize most of my thoughts exist in the future or the past. I think the same goes for everyone -- it's so easy to think about this nameless exciting future or to romanticize the past, as if things don't become real until they are over. So, needless to say, I can already see that I will be MAJORLY BUMMED after my trip and the fact that it is taking place in the fall will only give me more to be nostalgic about next year. Not only that, but I ALREADY am nostalgic for it!
I also am excited because trips usually motivate me -- make me excited to work on things here at home. My next big plan is to start getting ready for grad school! I think it's librarian time, almost.
I wish it meant getting motivated to buy the PINK TRANS AM that is for sale down the block.
