Today was made good by one thing... the library. I have a deep, abiding love for public libraries. Some of my first memories are of story time back home, before kindergarten. The books. The painting. The pasta necklaces. All good memories.
I love walking the shelves, no particular book or author in mind, just reading titles and jackets. It can be a bit daunting in fiction, but in non-fiction, it's just... nice. I picked up a couple of WWII books today along with my usual assortment of fiction. I've learned the hard way that when it comes to checking out history books, best not to mix your wars. One at a time.
Also, I got groceries sans husband. He stayed home to study (thanks, Primary).
The rest of my day? Video games. Books. Finishing Airline. Have you seen it? Airline was a series that aired for one season on A&E. FASCINATING. I'm not a frequent flier, but seeing as how I married a military guy, I will be intimately acquainted with airlines through the years. This show dealt with Southwest and let me tell you, there is some serious crazy running around in airports across tthe nation. Yes, there is your normal array of unreasonably disgruntled customers who take out their frustration on the wrong people, but there is also a guy in a tiger costume, a guy in a velour mini-skirt who goes commando, a woman separated from her life-saving medication, an irate and curse-spewing grandma, lots of drunk people and a wedding dress with tire marks down its front. Yikes. The narration is boring, but the meat of the show is extremely interesting.
Unlike most reality TV shows, it's kind of informational. You get to see how an airline works. More importantly, though, I hope those crazy-angry customers see themselves on TV and realize how dumb they look.
