WSoPC

They are having an online test to qualify for The World Series of Pop Culture. I think I am going to give it a shot. I've got enough useless info in this head - might as well use it for something.

Susan - Good luck!! Perhaps if there are any geonuclear war type questions on the test, you can give Paul a call for some assistance. Otherwise, I'd bet you're a shoe in!! (not to take a dig at your aircast or anything)

Jod-
You are so right about the Wargames trivia. I will have to have Paul share some of his vast Matthew Broderick knowledge. Good pun let's hope if I manage to make it through the 50 out of 50,000 I will be wearing shoes by then.

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.
