SQUIRRELS!!! Lots of them all over work but they seem pretty friendly. I was walking out of my building the other night and this squirrel was eating some food out of this guy's hand. I heard the little rodents can be pretty spastics and vicious but if they are around people all day, I guess you get use to it. These are people-squirrels. But they are cute little buggers.

Weekly Update:
A nice quiet week this past ... week. People on vacation which sort of gives you vacation at the same time. I wish this happens more often but oh well, I guess that is why its called a wish then. Temperatures got a little better toward the end of the week, cooler which is good but the summer isn't quiet over yet! Labor Day is right around the corner ... which means HEAVY traffic soon ... way heavy!

At the movies:
The boys of "Superbad" hold onto the box office crown this week taking in another 18 million. Holding on to the #2 spot is "The Bourne Ultimatum" with an extra 12.4 mil and now over the 185 mil cume. Also holding on at #3 but not as strong is "Rush Hour 3" with 12.3 mil more. New in at #4 are the physical antics of Mr. Bean's Holiday with only 10.1 mil to open. Rounding off the top 5 is the action film War with only 10 mil, the good thing about this film is that this war ended before it started!

New movies that did not make the top 5: Quiet a few this week which goes to show you that the season is over and that these movies looked bad before hitting the screen. In at #6 is the semi-romantic-not-so-funny-comedy The Nanny Diaries as it reads in for only 7.8 mil and MGM does it again with another wide release. At #15 (yes, #15) is the drama Resurrecting The Champ with only 1.9 mil and this one is just too easy to jab at. Semi-wide in at #16 is Illegal Tender with only 1.4 mil and we move on. Also in semi-wide release is the drama September Dawn at the #23 spot and making a BIG 600k ... looks like the dawn has set this one to bed.

Comment Response:
None at this time.

Other News:
Greece is ablaze! Huge fires hit the city of Greece a couple of days ago and now threaten ruins that have been around for nearly 3,000 years. Firefighters work drastically to prevent any damage to the birth place of the Olympics. Reports indicated over 42 major fires are still out of control. The cause of the fire is still under investigation and a reward has been offered for any information leading to the cause. One has to consider that a city as old as Greece would be effected like this. Its not like everything was retro-fitted with new fire-proof structures and such. It has survived many wars and other natural disasters ... let's hope it continues to do so after this one.
