Is it going to rain or just stay cloudy all day? I am not sure but some water drops from the sky would be nice about now along with some cooler temps. But it is summer after all in the Cali southland. But I hate to be teased with the clouds and the moisture in the air ... not nice. Generally speaking our year here so far has been relatively dry.Weekly Update:
This past work week was nothing but pure insanity and what is funny ... it shouldn't have been as always! I am so amazed how one person can make the simplest thing into a complex project that would normally require 3 steps but then turns it into 20. I am not surprised because it's very common but just amazed.
At the movies:Another summer blockbuster weekend as the 3rd installment for the Matt Damon action series takes the box office crown, Bourne Ultimatum earns a hefty 70.2 million. Holding in at #2 with a big percentage drop from last week is "The Simpsons Movie" with an extra 25.6 mil but with a cum over 128 mil for its first 10 days! New at #3 is the canine superhero Underdog with a very low 12 mil for a summer flick. Still together at #4 is "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" with another 10.5 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "Hairspray" with 9 mil more and trying to sing its way to reach the 100 mil mark.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Quite a few this week, I guess the bulk of summer is over so the bad films hit the fan. In at #9 this week is the SNL associated comedy Hot Rod with only 5 million and it's now completely cold. At #10 is the very ugly toy made to live action movie Bratz with only 4.3 mil and pretty much done. At the #12 spot and in semi-wide release is the J-Lo and real life hubby starring film El Cantante with only 3.3 mil and the dance is over.

This past week saw a lot of baseball sports history. From NY Mets pitcher Tom Glavine getting his 300th win, NY Yankee's Alex Rodriquez hitting his 500th home run, and San Francisco Giants Barry Bonds finally ties up Hank Aaron's record with his 755th home run against the San Diego Padres. What is funny is the pitcher who gave Bonds the tie homer was an ex-steroid user himself. And as we the month 0f August, the race is on for the championships.
