Watched Breakfast club this morning while wrapping presents

12/22/2016

So this is a movie from the 80s. Unfortunately I cannot suggest it for you to watch, because they are very naughty teens who are in all day detention in the library, and they make a mess of the place and talk about naughty things and, well, just plain naughty, so well, you can't watch it.
However these are the main characters:
In the simplest and in their own terms, Claire is a princess, Andrew an athlete, John a criminal, Brian a brain, and Allison a basket case.
Picture
Originally there's lots of teasing and bickering and cruelness, but at some point they start to become friends. Unfortunately, at another point they talk about what happens on Monday if they see each other at school. Would they acknowledge each other if they were walking past each other in the hallway? Would they pretend they don't exsist? It doesn't bode well for them. Eventually they come around, but it doesn't happen until the end of the movie.

Anyways, the whole point of the story is that I was totally lucky when I was in high school. We were all friends (whether close friends or acquaintances) no matter if we were a sport, a princess, a nerd, a criminal (don't think there were any of those) or a basket case (that was me, btw). No matter what, we treated each other the same. You don't often think of it at the time, but how are you going to remember the high school years? Hating and not acknowledging each other?

I love how IMDB states:
Five high school students, all different stereotypes, meet in detention, where they pour their hearts out to each other, and discover how they have a lot more in common than they thought.

Yes! We are like each other in more ways than we thought! We need to remember these things! Originally I was just watching this for the heck of it, because I remember being amused. I am not part of the 80s generation. I am the 90s, which was all about being emotional and in constant angst. CONSTANT ANGST.

Anime club

12/17/2016

Today at Anime Club we watched Amagi Brilliant Park. OMG was it silly, but I don't want it to end silly. It was cute. There were all sorts of magical creatures. There were were tons of them that were angry and emotional, beating themselves up and terrorzing eachother. Please do not ask why I was so amused, because I don't know either. :) 
Should you not want to open the link, this is what it is about:
Picture
Kanie Seiya, a smart and extremely narcissistic high school student, believes that the beautiful but reserved Sento Isuzu has invited him on a date at an amusement park called Amagi Brilliant Park. Much to his chagrin, not only is the location a run-down facility, the supposed date is merely a recruitment tour where Sento and Princess Latifa Fleuranza, the owner of the theme park, ask him to become the park's new manager. Their cause for desperation? As stipulated in a land-use contract, Amagi has less than three months to meet a quota of 500,000 guests, or the park will be closed for good and the land redeveloped by a greedy real-estate company.

Seiya is won over by the revelation that Amagi is no ordinary amusement park; many of its employees are Maple Landers—mysterious magical beings who live in the human world and are nourished by the energy created by people having fun. Entrusted with the hopes and dreams of this far-off enchanted land, Seiya must now use his many skills to bring Amagi back on its feet, or watch it crumble before his eyes.

You guys have to come join Miss Jill and I tonight! We are going to have way too much fun and you do not want to miss this extravaganza!

Saw that a fellow librarian had suggested getting this in an old email. They're called Circuit Scribe. Wow. How fun do these look? What do you think? Maybe a new thing to add to the Chili Makerspace? They are pretty old (like maybe three years! GASP!) however, how cool to be able to combine technology AND art! WOW! My head just exploded! :) What do you think you would create with them?
