Our weather here has really been crazy and unpredictable over the past two years. I use to be able to check yahoo weather or any other weather website and get the 5-day forecast with a huge degree of accuracy. Now, I checked it 2 weeks ago and it called for days of rain, had none and in fact got warmer. This past week checked it again and it said rain/showers from Saturday through Monday, maybe Tuesday ... Saturday coulds, Sunday freakin sunny ... what is going on?Weekly Update:
This past week was a very busy and crazy work week ... and also kind of depressing and fustrating at the same time. Work was really getting on my nerves and mostly due to other people not working. I guess it was just one of those weeks and hopefully it will get better, maybe I need a vacation?
At the movies:A big surprise as Epic Movie takes the box office crown this weekend with an amazing 19.2 million. This spoof laugher did well but probably won't last after this. Lighting up at #2 is the high-caliber action Smokin' Aces with a nice 14.2 mil for its debut. Still holding in at #3 is "Night At The Museum" with an extra 9.5 mil and a cume of over 216 mil domestically. Showing in at #4 is Catch & Release with a light sum of only 8 mil. Finishing off the top 5 is "Stomp the Yard" with an additional 7.8 mil.
New wide release films that did not make the top 5: WOW, this is a BIG surprise, MGM's Blood & Chocolate with only 2.1 mil, shocking (sarcasm in case you didn't realize). This film actually weighs in at #15 for the box office week.
Comment Response:
Do I think Clinton is a good candidate? - From the current pool of candidates, HANDS DOWN the best. You can rule out any Republican at this point because the damage that has been done by Bush and his continued failed programs along with Iraq, the Democrats have a lock on the next 4 years. If a candidate had a history of being a drunk it won't matter because it didn't matter for Bush. Now with a Democrat majority in congress, both parties either "thanks" or "blames" the president ... depending on who you are. And they can do the same come election time.
Other News:
John Kerry announced last week he will not run in the next election which is a good thing. He would make a better President than Bush however the entire package Kerry brings is very disturbing. When I say package, I am referring to his wife who is a complete LUNATIC and borderline diva. I can see us going to more wars with her as a first lady because of something she did or say to another "first lady" or its people of another country. During the last election campaign, she said some of the oddest and slighty offensive things. Her attitude was almost Marie Antoinette-ish, let the poor eat cake.
Violence and body count escalated again last week in Iraq and Bush is
still peddling and pushing his HUGE troop increase plan. Does he not realize by doing this he is also doing two things? 1) increase the target pool (which will increase the death toll) of US Troops and 2) will draw more resentment from the people of Iraq not to mention draw more terrorists to Iraq to fight the war there. Very sad to say but I hope for every 1 US Soldier they send, he/she comes with 5 body bags to accomodate for solider + civilian bystanders killed.Facts & Tips:
Grapes are the most popular fruit in the world.
"Hey Romy, remember Mrs. Divitz's class, there was like always a word problem. Like, there's a guy in a rowboat going X miles, and the current is going like, you know, some other miles, and how long does it take him to get to town? It's like, 'Who cares? Who wants to go to town with a guy who drives a rowboat?"- Lisa Kudrow as Michele Weinberger in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion"
