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".

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b...

Wild world

This past week or so has been a blur - We went to Iowa for a tournament - girls did fine - think that they got 3rd overall. Will meet up with the teams again when we go to Kansas in March. Got home from Des Moines @ 6pm Sunday, was at the airport by 8am Monday. Off to Kansas City for a training class, actually am really excited to be selected for this, it is "High Performing Managers" and there are only 15 people per class. I about choked the first day when they said that the company is making an investment in us - $15K each. I think that is more than I spent on my entire college education - wow. Got home Thursday @ 10:30pm went to work Friday, and then had a busy weekend. By Monday thought I was seriously having an aneurysm - ALL last week felt like someone was trying to put a stake through the back of my head and really couldn't focus at all. Think that the plane ride back to MN did me in. So went to Dr. who scheduled a MRI for yesterday a.m. Really kinda scared me to t...

I am usually an open book...

however have made the decision to have The Schmidt House be invite only, you are the ones that I want to share our lives with - if there is someone that I have omitted by mistake, please let me know. Think that there are some family members that I do not have email addresses for, so will need to track those down. I have found that I have been a little blog "stuck" for the last few months knowing that there were a lot of people who read my site and I became a little self conscious about what I was writing as to not offend anyone - not like I go out of my way to offend, but after awhile you realize that there are some pretty sensitive folks out there. I know it takes all kinds for the world to go around, however I don't want to have to worry about it when I am here. So now I feel a little more free to speak my mind which you all know has never been a problem, but now I feel I am among friends. Thanks for sharing this little adventure with the Schmidts...
