Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late.

Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?"

I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal.

The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed, I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life.

At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our theater the doorway is open so you can hear everything going on inside of the facilities. When the girls entered the bathroom they ran into an acquaintance.

"Oh, my God. How are you?" High pitch screaming followed. "What did you just see?"

"Zodiac," the acquaintance answered.

"Oh, my God. So did we. That was the dumbest movie I have ever seen in my life. It was like so crap," she exclaimed. "I thought the ending was the #*&$(*%@ stupidest ever."

Shelly walked out of the bathroom shaking her head. We looked at each other in disbelief these girls could be so clueless to share their stupidity and movie review with the entire ladies room.

But, she wasn't finished, "I wanted them to like catch the guy. I don't know why they didn't end it that way. It was so stupid"

Well, that would be because it was a true story and in "real life" they didn't catch the Zodiac.

I absolutley LOVE to be a overhearing party to such rich interchange!! I thrive on little situations that pop up in life. I remember on our trip to the black hill last summer, the MOST BORING conversation I have every had to over hear in the bathroom, between 2 older ladies. It was amazingly notable for it's boring content and timing. K~

Hey! What's up with the blog switch-up? I read this, in a totally different format, late last night.

I think I like this one better, but maybe b/c I'm more used to it.

I don't like scary movies, but Drew and Hugh were sweet and cute in Music and Lyrics last night...

Karen- I didn't think anyone would be on last night. I am trying to learn how to edit the HTML code for Blog templates. I was just trying it out with someone else's design. I don't know if I was meant to be a programmer. I am going to get a book "Blogging for Dummies".

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.).
