school starts in fremont

I  was  looking for  something fun to start  the day . Something  about  school – Turns  out – going  back to school – doesn’t  always  have a  fun image – this  is what a  lot  of  the music and the images seem  to  be  like

This makes school look like more fun

maybe if you were going here…

Here are a list of songs and song lyrics about school . Did they leave any favorites off?

and here is one of many lists of high school movies . What else should be here?

done

at the last-minute . On my lunch break today. I hope everyone else that has finished comes in today

Fun!

Fire alarms

This is just a reminder. We have had a lot of fire alarms at the Fremont library recently. Please , when you hear it, or you are informed by a staff member that something is a fire alarm; leave the building. I know it is often a false alarm, but you are possibly endangering yourself, the staff, and firemen if there is a real fire.

3 Hours left

and plenty of time to finish

extraordinary

As one of the first professional symphony orchestras ever Copenhagen Phil (Sjællands Symfoniorkester) did a flash mob at Copenhagen Central Station on May 2nd 2011 playing Ravel’s Bolero. Conductor is Jesper Nordin.

lockdown

Thursday  night  I  finished  reading Lockdown  by  Alexander Gordon Smith.  Normally,  I  wouldn’t  do  a  post about  this book, because I  have no idea  how I feel  about it. 

 The  story:  One  summer, the gangs  really got  out of control and  killed a lot of people.  So it  was  decided that kids no longer  got  any special  consideration in  the justice  system. The Furnace is  built – a huge  underground prison for  kids that are lifers.  Enter  Alex , who ,while  not a good  kid, didn’t actually kill his friend. However,  he  ends up in  the Furnace.  It  is the place  where nightmares are born. But on  top of  the gross food, hard  labor, prison  gangs  and sadistic  guards; there seems to be something else  going on .  And that is my major problem  with  the book ;there are hints about  what is going on , but  there is no hint of why. I’m  not  sure I  trust  the author  enough to  tell me the part of the story  I want to  know. 

My  second  problem  with  the book – it  ended on a cliff  hanger .   Even  in a  series  I like each  book to have a complete  plot.  Sometimes  the next  book  is  far  away.

But it was a really  compelling book.  I  found  it  hard to  put  down and easy to go forward even  when horrible things  were happening.

Yes,  I’ll  be  reading the second  book,  but I  am curious if anyone else has  read  the book. If  you  have,  what  did  you  think?

Movie out today

Not  looking for  violence  and  fake  swords  today

Reading log update

from  straggleville,  I keep  reading – Now  reading two books , because I  left a  book  here  one  night

small world

Years  ago  it  was  proposed that the world  was  small – that  there  are  only  six  degrees  of separation  between  people ( meaning that to  pass  a  message  between  two  people  who  didn’t  know  each  other  would take  6  connections  or  less ) . But  it  wasn’t  easy  to  test. Now  face  book  and yahoo are  getting  to gether  to  test  the  idea  again.   If  you  have a  facebook  account and you  are  interested, you can participate by  going here.
