POST THANKSGIVING DAY EDITIONI am so full, but don't we always say that after a big turkey dinner with all the fixin's? I think I ate enough for a week in fact ... is it that much of a stretch to say that? Why is it so necessary to put all the different foods out just because it has become more or less traditional? I think Thanksgiving should start on Thursday and end on Sunday as you spread out the different foods and the meat can rotate between turkey and ham ... or soy turkey and soy ham if you are one of those people (pssst, non-meat eaters!).
Weekly Update:Black Friday ... what is it and what does it mean? It's basically a plague like the Black Death when millions of people swarm places (stores/shops) that contain items that if given the correct amount, the items are yours. What makes it even more special is that these places of business open their doors before farmers wake up to start their day. Even more crazier than that, everything is discounted so these millions of people can buy more, more, MORE! Few casualties this day, I stayed home for shelter.
At the movies:
Disney's Enchanted takes the holiday box office crown this week with a decent 50 million to start off its first 5-days. This fantasy comedy looks like it has a lot of potential to carry through the rest of the holidays. In at #2 is a holiday titled film This Christmas with 27.1 mil. Holding in at #3 is "Beowulf" with another 23.3 mil for the 5-day weekend. New at #4 is video game to big screen of Hitman with only 21 mil. Great idea and good movie, timing is a bit off if you ask me. Rounding off the top 5 is the buzz of "Bee Movie" with another 15.9 mil and now a cume of over 112 mil.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Showing up at #7 is the drama August Rush with only 13.3 mil. Normally that would be a good opening but not for 5-day holiday. In at #9 is the suspense-horror The Mist with only 13 mil. Ok, when I saw the ads on TV for this I thought it was another made-for-Sci-Fi-Channel show ... then I saw the MGM logo and it made more sense ... straight to video ... what? NO?! oh my.
Comment Response:
None at this time.
Other News:Southern California ablaze again last week as over 50 homes were caught in its path. Latest news is uncertain what may have caused this particular fire. Back in October, the Malibu fire was caused by some high winds knocking down power lines. Mixed with the dry weather and draught the state has been suffering, the fire was out of control fast. The damage during this fire seems more severe as far as Malibu goes as this one burnt through over 50 homes. Still with dry weather and high winds, the one thing firefighters were able to catch a break on is the temperature. October we saw high 80's to mid 90's while this past weekend averaged low 70's. As residents and the state are still recovering from last month's disasters, the relief will definitely continue on through the holidays.
Facts & Tips:Cape May is the oldest seashore resort in America.
