April showers ...A rainy day here in SoCali but I like it because over the winter it was nothing but sun and too warm! But as I mentioned before, our weather here has been really screwy.
Weekly recap:
Nothing really is going on or anything worth mentioning ... its been a semi-busy week with work stuff but other than that the rest of it was very quiet. I like quiet, I miss quiet. Its rare that those times come around so I am going to take advantage of them and just ... be lazy. Watched several episodes of A&E's Horatio Hornblower ... good stuff.
At the movies:
So Ice Age: The Meltdown opened this past weekend to 71.0 million, that is an amazing number considering its a non-holiday time period. Other movies that opened were the urban drama ATL (over 10 million) and the thriller Basic Instinct 2 which scraped a meager 2 million at the box office. I can not tell you how bad that is and its that bad! I think the cost of film printing and shipping was near 3 million if that tells you anything. This remake is 14 years too late.
The new The Simpons The Movie trailer debuted along with Ice Age. This is a movie that has been discussed for so many years and I hope its not too late. The trailer is very simple and also very funny! I can not wait to see this one when its ready to view. The show itself is at or over 18 seasons which means 18 years. I am not sure if that number includes the short skits on the old Tracey Ullman Show. They also recently signed a deal for 2 more years for the show ... 20 YEARS!!
Q&A:
None this time around.
Other News:
Today is the official first day of baseball ... weeee, after today there is like only a gazillion games left to play. If a game gets rained out, gazillion and one. I am not a baseball fan because the games are just too slow and there are too many of them. But, there is something about being at a stadium and having a hotdog or nachos there.
Facts and Tips:
A goldfish's attention span is three seconds.
Did you remember to set your clock ahead an hour? Yep, daylight savings was Sunday were we "spring ahead" ... I hate that but what can you do. I know Arizona doesn't observe this and I am sure all across the world doesn't either. We American's are an odd lot.

Adena, as a child, used to imitate Tracy Ullman when she put on her bathrobe after a shower: "Go home, people" complete with British accent.
I think that my brother Lars is Horatio Hornblower.
I think that I am a reincarnation of a goldfish.
