Where is my rain?? So my car is pretty dirty and I have been meaning to take it to the car wash but I hear on the radio every single day, "Tomorrow looks like 20% showers in the morning with the marine layer moving in ... ". I mean after 5 days isn't that like 100% at that point? It was funny, I did clean off all my windows once when I was getting gas and then the very next morning they were all dirty again from the sprinklers and morning dew.

Weekly Update:
NERD FEST '06 Part III: The Stalker ... so attended another Hollywood Collector's show in Burbank on Saturday and got some nice snaps from various folks:Sunday night I did something completely different! I went to the WWE Showdown at the Staples Center ... talk about a packed house and so many people into wrestling. I basically went for work to escort some contest winners and we got a meet and greet with John Cena who was such a cool guy! What was also cool was I ran into Mindy Sterling at the meet and greet and talked to her for a couple of hours, what an awesome person (she was there with her family and her son is a HUGE wrestling fan), she is best known as Frau Farbissina in the Austin Powers movies.

at the Movies:
Sony's The Grudge 2 takes the box office win with a 22 million opening, scary is back in season! Holding tight onto #2 this weekend is "The Departed" with an additional 18.7 mil bringing it well past the 50 mil mark cume. New at #3 is the Universal political laugher Man of the Year with a decent 12.5 mil. Hunting season still open for "Open Season" as it grabs the #4 spot with 11 more mil. Rounding of the top 5 is "Texas Chainsaw: The Beginning" having a BIG drop with an additional 7.8 mil.

Other new movies that did not make the top 5 is the low budget action film The Marine booya'ing with only 7 mil at the box office to take the #6 spot. Maybe not a lot but its enough to know that dvd sales will bring in the rest.

Comment Response:
I thought it interesting too about the wifi and SF. I hope this does lead a trend to do other high dense city areas. Unfortunately, this is something that doesn't make sense to do in LA because its so spread out from city to city, burb to burb. Manhattan would be a good area to do wifi like SF.

Other News:
The world at a glance ... additional nuclear test (weapon) performed by North Korea, clearly developing for WMD style weapons. One year anniversary of the Iraqi imposed government and was celebrated with a day of around 83 civilian and 5 US Soldiers killed. Hawaii gets hit with an earthquake, no reported deaths, just many injuries. So, what else is new?

I have a friend who waits for rain and then runs out to the driveway with all her kids, rags in hand, and they all scrub on the car until it's "clean."
