New music, that's really old music, but I can explain why I felt the need to share

The other night at dinner my friend Sue mentioned that she likes the music I add to the Schmidt blog - she especially liked the litte tune by Peter, Bjorn and John awhile back.

So... I had this elaborate plan that I was going to do something like a little New Music Monday. But as you know, Monday has come and gone and it is now Thursday and I really don't think New Music Thursday has the same je ne sais quoi as New Music Monday. Maybe I just like "New Music Monday", because it reminds me of "New Moon on Monday" - vintage Duran Duran - 'nother story, 'nother day.

Then I got to thinking - it is cold, too blasted cold and where would I rather be than where I am freezing my tookis off?

The answer came to me: somewhere warm on a beach, with my book, little foo foo drink and just hanging out listening to the "Just relax will ya?" playlist on the iPod when I couldn't get this little song out of my head because it is Track 1 on the playlist - quite rightly I might add.

It is a fun little song, which I am sure many of you know, but it is one of my favorite bands, Weezer. But I don't even know if they are officially still together, which makes me sad, so now this has evolved to:

"I don't know if they are still together, but this song makes me think of sandy beaches music Thursday"

Enjoy. I will get on the New Music Monday gig if you guys are interested in my quirky music, let me know.

Good song! That is one my favorite songs from them too. I hope they come back. I am all for New music whenever day!

This post is classic Susan. I love it! It reminds me of you cooking in the Firehouse, talking a hundred miles an hour, with the rest of us salivating and laughing our butts off.

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.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma...

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...
