Heidi Movie Clip of the Day - Week Ending 11.12.11

Ok, it looks like I'm not posting a clip every day, for which I get severely scolded by the boss, Miss Heidi herself. I'll try to remember from now on.


There is no one cooler than Jackie Chan. Heidi and I are going to have a Jackie Chan marathon while I am there over Thanksgiving. I can't think of a better way to spend time with my daughter. 



I'm not sure when Heidi got into musicals, this was one I watched with Vernon, then Heidi watched it and she LOVES it. She especially thought this guy, Donald O'Connor, was adorable, they don't make 'em like him anymore.



Uh, need I say more? If Adam Sandler showed up on our doorstep, I think Heidi and I would try to kick each others' asses to get to him first. We both like guys who can make us laugh.



Since the Conan the Barbarian days I have been Arnold Schwarzenegger's biggest fan (until recently-what a dumbass). Anyway, this is a classic that Heidi needed to see and I often use the "tumor" line. It annoys the crap out of her. ;)



This is an extra clip. Posted by Heidi herself. Who doesn't want to hear the Pet Sematary kid talk about vaginas?



We got dumped on by about 6 inches of heavy wet snow. I thought this would be appropriate as the daily clip.



I honestly do not know how many times we have watched this one; but I'll warn you, you do not want to watch it with us because we can recite the entire movie.



Cookies and Corky! We can't watch this one enough.

Heidi Movie Clip of the Day - Week Ending 11.05.11

Heidi has me doing something really fun. I would post a random movie clip that I knew Heidi would enjoy on our facebook walls. She then asked me to do that every day. I said no way would I have enough clips for posting every day! Well that was 2 months ago. I look for movie clips that we both enjoy. Some me more than her, some her more than me. But, we both enjoy them and mean something to us. I am excited about going down to see her for Thanksgiving. I'll be on a bus for 12 hours because my truck isn't in the kind of shape to make the drive, plus I'll be saving about $200 on gas. Woo Hoo! I'd sit on a bus for 12 hours if it meant seeing Heidi. I miss that girl. I've decided to post a weeks worth of movie clips so you can see how truly warped we are. If I can't embed, it's just a link with a photo. Enjoy!

We used to watch this movie all the time when she was little.

Fame Halloween Dance

I wanted a Halloween theme for today, and Heidi and I love dancing movies.









This movie is a classic, we love Nicole and Sandra and when we watched this I knew Heidi would love it as much as me. She did.

Inception; Rotating Hallway Scene
This is Heidi's favorite scene in this movie. And she LOVED this movie. I thought it was OK, but I knew how much she loved this scene.





Ok, I have to admit that I really did like this movie, but Heidi forced me to watch it. How can you not LOVE Tracy Turnblad?!?!?! I like fun upbeat clips for Saturday mornings, and it doesn't get more upbeat than this! 

She Misses Me

I know for a fact she misses me. How do I know this? Well, she doesn't really tell me she misses me, or even that she loves me. We just know each other and I guess with her I have to depend on actions and other things that she says. Last week we had a phone conversation. It went something like this:
Heidi telling me about her and K in the cafeteria and a song came on:
 Heidi: "What movie!"
 K:      "What?"
 Heidi: "Oh, I don't do that with you. That's something me and my mom do."
 K:      "That song is in a lot of movies."
 Heidi: "Mom would have known which movie I was thinking of."
 K:      "But that song was in a lot of movies."
 Heidi: "She would have known which movie I was thinking of."

The conversation really didn't get much further than that. And Heidi was right, I would have known which movie she was thinking of. We have this weird thing with movies and tv, and we speak in our own strange language where others look at us like we both are speaking gibberish.

Below are some songs that trigger us to think of specific movies.

                                 

            

Boy, I think we've watched this movie about a hundred times!

                             

I miss you too Sweetie.

She's Off To See the Wizard!

Tonight is the big night. It is the night we have all been waiting for... well, not me, but the rest of America has. I say America because it has already happened in the UK. I am talking about the final Harry Potter movie. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about it. I got so so SO sick of Harry Potter.... and then Edward came along... then I had to apologize to Harry Potter because I enjoy his company so much more; although Jacob is quite the hottie... WHEW! TEAM JACOB!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHH.... ahem... sorry... where was I?

 Oh yes... Harry Potter.  For years Heidi has been a big fan. She's been a fan of the books and the movies. She has drug me to all of the Harry Potter movies and I admit I have enjoyed them. She's also got all the dvd's and most of the soundtracks. I have lost track of the number of times I have seen each movie.. oh, and don't get me started on the Scene it? dvd game. UGH! I totally suck at it! I can't remember the names of most of the characters so I get special rules... I'll say, "The guy who wrote a book and is totally full of himself" instead of... brb... Googling the name.... Professor Lockhart... I could not have gotten that if my life depended on it, let alone a dvd game. I have fun though, playing these games with Heidi, and watching the movies is something we always do together. As I watched part 1 of the Deathly Hallows with Heidi and her roommate, the roommate was quite impressed that I knew what was going on and that I understood the history. The reason for this is that I have a constant narrator when I watch a Harry Potter movie. Heidi will make sure I know what is going on, why, and fill in the spaces left out from the book. I get after her for talking during the movie but I like how excited she gets. Heidi will probably take me to see part 2 next weekend. It should be fun. I know I'll hear all about it either super late when she gets home at 3am or tomorrow when I get home from work. My baby is 19 1/2, which mean's she's almost a 20yr old woman. It's like the end of Harry Potter and the end of her childhood... shit, now I feel like crying. I guess I never thought about it until now.  Well, she's been standing in line for the last 1 1/2 hours and is having fun with her 2 Harry Potter friends J and S. In the past they have made t-shirts and have gone to the last few movies together.  I'm glad all three of them are together tonight, in addition to meeting a few other friends there.  I was given strict instructions to fix her dinner so she can reheat it when she gets home, and that is already done. I can't wait to hear about how much fun she had, the people she saw, and if she approved of the ending. She's very concerned about how they will end it. I hope she's not disappointed, she's been waiting for this for a very long time. The best part is that I am really happy about not being SHUSHHHHED every time the trailer comes on the TV.

Do You Think Harry Potter Likes Green Bean Casserole?

I'm sad. I'm so very sad. I  had made plans to drive down to Kalamazoo to visit my sweet girl  for Thanksgiving and because of unforeseen circumstances I have no money for gas or hotel. I had to call Heidi to break the news and it was such a horrible feeling. I could tell I made her cry, she tried to hide it but I could hear her. She understood, like she always does, but it's still so very disappointing. I am thankful however that she still has family down there. She will be able to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. She lives fairly close to Heidi. With the holidays coming up so soon there are a lot of commercials. The one that bothers me the most is the one for Campbells Green Bean Casserole. I cried the last time I saw one. She just loves green bean casserole. I was going to make it and surprise her; but now it will have to wait until Christmas. Not only does she love green bean casserole, she loves the way I make it. I normally don't get compliments from her on food that I prepare, but she goes on and on over my green bean casserole.


At this very moment my daughter is having the time of her life. What is she doing you ask? She is watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. She went with her suitemate and family. I guess some other friends are meeting them there too. Every time there is a new Harry Potter movie, Heidi would go to opening night in her home made t-shirt with all her girlfriends and they would wait in line at the theater for hours. Heidi would then insist on taking me a week or two later. At first she had to drag me kicking and screaming, but I have to admit, the movies are entertaining and the stories are creative. I still refuse to read the books, which is the same for the Twilight Series.

I'd have to say, even though we don't get to spend Thanksgiving together or see Harry Potter together, she is still my #1 and I think it has sunk in with me that I am hers. She is thoughtful and amazing and she loves me. She called me tonight before she left for her movie. She calls me nearly every day and I just love talking to her. But her calling me tonight before her movie just meant so much. She could have called anyone else. I miss her.
