ladyofshadow	7:44p	Oh snow storms...you are ever so interesting to drive through... Today I was slated to work an evening shift at the West Seneca Library. I left early because it was essentially whiteout conditions, but not too bad (I couldn't quite see across the street). I made it to work and I don't think there was more than 3 patrons in the library at any one time. I hung out with my coworkers and snapped some random photos. ( Because I was in a random mood ) The conditions gradually worsened and when our librarian that was on the way called in to say she was stuck just outside of the library, a coworker and myself ran out with shovels in hand. We helped to dig her out to get her over to the parking lot and helped push a patron out of a spot as well. It was then that we made the decision to close the building. The winds, combined with the snow were just awful. It cleared up a bit and we dashed out to our cars to dig them out. The Town Guys had snowplowed part of the lot and the nice guys helped to dig me out (and one even helped to push me out). The drive home my speed limit was a constant 20mph. I saw one car stuck so far into a ditch that I only saw one of its tires. 0__0 My car handled well in the snow and I managed to get home all right. Here's to hoping my commute into the city on Friday will go smoothly and we don't get socked again. Current Mood: cold (1 Comment |Comment on this)

ladyofshadow	12:50p	Weiss Kreuz Noir I almost forgot to post about this!!!  Over the course of several months, I participated with several Weiss Kreuz fans to come up with some Noir themed stories/art over on LJ.  Our deadline was last month and it was great to see what everyone contributed. I present the lovely community project of.... weisskreuznoir Cosplay Photo Story:  Shadow of a Night, by yours truly with a "down-on-his-luck but damn sexy Yohji Kudo."  Two stories from a Weimar-era Weiss Kreuz 'verse set in Berlin (1932). Für Immer Verloren (part 1) (part 2) by daegaer + illustration by indelicateink Crawford sat at a table near the front of the dingy café, sipping the worst champagne he had ever had cause to drink. It was warm, almost completely flat and left a strange sour taste in his mouth.  [read more] Silhouette by emungere + illustration by indelicateink Yohji tipped his hat down further over his eyes and slid into place next to a tall man in a light brown suit. The faded line that marked the edge of the platform stuttered into non-existence in front of him, and his eyes shifted past it to the tracks, gleaming grey and polished by the passage of metal wheels. [read more] Film Noir Schwarz by lauand These illustrations are amazing! Death's an Old Joke by ahpookishere and two_point (Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5) An art heist goes astray in Soviet Russia. Schwarz follows a broken trail that leads them to the least likely suspect: a stranger that makes them question their loyalties and plays a mean game of chess. Will Schwarz be destroyed in the process? Will the Elders become immortal? And who is this mysterious group called Farblos? These questions and more will be answered in Book One. (Comment on this)

ladyofshadow	10:36p	You know you've reached a new level of crazy when you start to dream in novels... So, my mom has pneumonia (I convinced her to go to the doctor because that's what I thought she had). The cold that we've shared has escalated in her and I'm trying to avoid her fate. My cold is gone, it's my sinuses that are proving to be difficult in light of the recent snowfall. I've gotten little sleep because of her snoring because the poor thing can't breathe at night. I've also been having f*cked up dreams because of it. I've been dreaming in novels. As in I'm READING entire novels that I've never read before in my sleep. After reading the passages in the book, the scene in my head turns into a movie that I watch. The one last night involved a male Cop who was chasing after a female killer and when she lured him to her home, she kept trying to seduce him, then sets him up to kill someone, causing him to shoot out of cold instinct. It's in that moment that DUN DUN DUN he realizes that the case he was following was of another serial killer that the female was a copycat and that killer was....him. He had lost his memories and in that cold blooded moment, he realized just who he was...then he shot himself. 0_____0! Suspense-filled, but f*cked up. There was another one that involved the Demon Librarian of Hell's Library at a conference talking about difficult patrons with the Angel Librarian of Heaven's Library. They proceeded to then discuss an interlibrary loan service with the Limbo Librarian by conference "phone" (it was a conch shell). 0_o; Speaking of the library not in my dreams, things are going well in Library Land. I'll be taking charge of the Civil Service Test books in January at the downtown library. ^__^ I've also successfully ordered some books for my subject class and wrote my first monthly report. I also got my first "nut". If someone asks you to look up the word 'commandment' in the dictionary, then proceeds to disagree with you about the dictionary meaning, then goes into a suitcase to pull out their bible, then have you find a passage, then proceed to read you that passage, then proceed to give you their interpretation....back away very slowly when another librarian rescues you, then run away while the patron's back is turned. (If you get me in person, ask me to tell the story. It's much better in person. Those who have heard some of my 'library stories' can attest to that, LOL) For WSE, it seems that I may be teaching some beginner computer classes. I have to draft a class plan and figure out days to do such. Now that WSE has a projector and laptops, we can host some computer classes. I just want to test drive hooking up a laptop to the projector. I've also been preparing holiday cards & gifts to mail out. My goal is to have most packages in the mail by the end of the week for international folks, with a few domestics as well. I just need time to personalize items. I've got everything is labeled. ^___^ Current Mood: busy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

multiplemonday [ birch_household ]	12:00a	Do the front runners prefer... 1) a quiet night at home or a noisy party? 2) a long night's sleep or lots of time up late even if they need to get up early? 3) time to read or time to watch a movie? 4) a yummy dessert or a delicious main course? 5) a perfect cup of coffee or a perfect cup of tea?

casteylan	7:37p	I'm a winner 50926 words, with just about half a chapter to go to finish the story. I should be done later this evening. The story is seriously, utterly crap.

ladyofshadow	12:18p	Universe: "Happy Thanksgiving! ...Accio, stomach flu!!" Me: -_- o apparently something happened to thanksgiving leftovers because my grandparents, my mom, and myself have been running to the bathroom. We're not entirely sure what caused it. No one else in the family has anything happen to them, so maybe our immune systems were down or something. I know my mom and I have been battling colds, so that's not helping things. 3am rolled around and some serious cramping in my stomach caused me to dash downstairs to the bathroom (seriously, having to navigate stairs to reach a bathroom when you're sick...not cool), whereupon I sat upon the regal throne for a good half hour. I went back to bed and not 10 minutes later, my mom dashes downstairs. 2 hours later I'm back up, then 2 hours later after that. I was so warm and comfortable, I didn't want to get up. Thank the gods I don't have to work this weekend! I found out later my grandparents seem to be the same way, but on a lesser scale than my mom and myself. I think I got hit the hardest, but that's because my lovely infected sinuses have been draining too. But hey, I guess it's the quickest way to expel the toxins, not necessarily the prettiest. I'm thankful it's not anything worse. Now, to curl up in bed with a book. EDIT: Kaopectate tastes REALLY nasty. >. Current Mood: sick (Comment on this)
