RAIN! Yeah, it finally rained pretty heavy this past week. Traffic was ok going into work but coming home was sooo bad ... and it wasn't raining at that time either! But I am glad we finally got some heavy rains, the air is nice and clean (for now) and the mountains are covered in snow. My car is clean too!!! What more can you ask for!? Now I want to know if we will get more rain showers still because we can still use it.

Weekly Update:
Its funny how this past week was a short work week in terms of how many days due to the holiday yet ... it felt like it was longer than a regular week! It wasn't busy or anything, maybe it was too slow and quiet that it felt that way? I do not know and I can't really explain it but that is how it sure felt. I hope this coming week doesn't turn out like that because this is a regular full week!!

At the movies:
THIS IS SPARwhata? Meet the Spartans takes the box office laurel wreath this weekend with a strong 18.7 million, not bad for a spoofed up comedy. New at #2 is the action film Rambo with 18.2 mil, just shy of taking first place but pretty decent for the 4th installment of this series. Holding on to #3 is "27 Dresses" with another 13.6 mil. Dropping down to #4 this week is "Cloverfield" with 12.7 mil added to its name. New at #5 is the thriller Untraceable with 11.2 mil and I am sure it will be un-noticeable soon.

New movies that did not make the top 5: Just one this week that did not even make the top 10! Hmmm, and their homepage is a myspace page, interesting ... the hip-hop step'n How She Move only moved up a 4.2 mil weekend and I am sure it will be lucky if it does half that much next week.

Comment Response:
None at this time.
