So this week is the annual ShowEast convention in Orlando, Florida. Not much to report on yet since it officially starts tonight but I arrived last night and just getting things set-up or settling in. Probably will have a bit to report on next time but otherwise its pretty quiet for the most part.
Weekly Update:
Got sick some point mid-week with a cold so been battling that as I left for Orlando. Got so conjested which sucks ... sore throat sucks ... coughing sucks ... its all bad.
At the movies:A little shocker as a semi-art/main stream film takes the #1 spot this weeknd with 14.8 million is The Prestige. Still showing a strong showing in its third week is "The Departed" with an additional 13.7 mil and a cume of 77+ well on its way to 100 mil. Charging the #3 spot this week is the World War II epic Flags of Our Fathers with 10.2 mil. Not a lot for a film of this magnitude however it released in less than 2000 screens which is well below the norm. Still hunting for the season in the #4 spot is "Open Season" with an additional 8 mil. And rounding off the top 5 is the horse drama Flicka with 7.7 mil.

Other News:
The month of October, 2006 is not over yet and it has now been the deadliest month of the year for US soldiers killed in Iraq, as high as 15 in one day. This is even the highest for the past 2 years in fact with a 70+ killed toll mark. This also marks a milestone for the Iraqi's as well as they have a toll of about 12 dead per day this month. A new poll was taken in August/September that 4 out of 5 Iraqi's support or approve of the attacks on US Soldiers if it leads to their removal and 60% of Iraqi's say the violence is to blame on the US presence.
This is also interesting, it was discovered that Jeb Bush has direct involvement with a program that helped support president Bush's "No Child Left Behind" program. So what it lead down to was the US was paying or allocating funds to the program that Jeb was involved with and recieved money for it. Sounds like Halliburton all over again.

Nels and I went to see the prestige last saturday. Even though several elements were pretty predictable, we both loved it. Christian Bale....I just can't get enough. I'm pretty tired of Little Miss Johansson though.
So is this a movie even I should go see? And Dena, she is sooo cute--how can you not just love her! Okay, truly, I get sick of anyone over-exposed. I end up not liking them for it. Go do some stage work or something for a while. Really, you'd just like to kill her and take all her roles, right?
