Last night, Mike had some friends over to watch old
installments of Mystery Science Theater. These are his colleagues at one of the
Catholic colleges that he adjuncts at, so I had a living room full of
philosophers. And I hope this doesn't sound sexist, but let me tell you: Men
are LOUD. :) In a group, they talk loud, they laugh loud. It's like they're all suddenly hard of hearing. It was all I could do
not to interrupt the proceedings to let them know that anybody who woke the
baby up was responsible for rocking her back to sleep. Happily, she slept through
everything and the men had a great time.
I, on the other hand, retired to our bedroom to knit and
watch Bunheads (ABC Family) on demand. Does anybody else watch this show? It's my new on
demand obsession. It's by the creator of Gilmore Girls, which was a favorite of
both me and Mike. And the characters are dancers, so voila! Instant Tiffany
attraction. We've watched 3 episodes so far, and I really like it. Another
episode is in the works for tonight. When I first heard the title, I thought
the person telling me about it was joking, but no, it's a real show. :) In the
absence of Sister Wives, I have to take what I can get.
Anyway, the semester has started here, and the campus is
bustling. I always like working on the reference desk at this time of the fall
because lots of people need my help and they're always very grateful when I
help them kindly. I feel very needed.

Although, I helped a male undergraduate earlier that I caught trying to look down my blouse when I leaned over the keyboard. Should I be flattered that he still cared to look? Does he think that I'm even within a 10 year age radius of him? *feels cuter and younger-looking by the moment* Eh, I doubt it. I think it's just an instinct, lol.

It does feel good to be helping a lot of people in the library, doesn't it? I answered over 20 questions on Saturday and felt like a Reference Superstar.
ReplyDeleteAnd the blouse thing happened to me last year, only my students are middle schoolers, so. . . curiosity, I guess. And instinct, like you said.
