What happenend?! Where did all my rain and clouds go? The previous week it was nice with the rain and cold with mountains covered in snow, it was very picturesque. Now this week we do a complete 180 and it reached up to the low 80's in temp, no clouds and just sun! What is going on around here? Looking at the upcoming forecast, looks like more sunny weather but will drop down to the mid 70's. The one thing I hate most about this kind of weather is that you see, smell and feel the smog just collecting. I guess everyone feels they should be out on the road for the sunny days.

Weekly Update:
This past week I was pretty much out with the cold bug that was going around. I caught it from someone at work and I know about 8 others who were also sick with similar symptoms. Even though it's starting to warm up a bit, still have some congestion and coughing going on which is driving me crazy. Not sure what is worse; the cold for a week and then a month with a cough or the flu of being really miserable and out of commission for a couple of days.

At the movies:
The romantic comedy Fool's Gold takes the box office crown with 22 million to start it off. There have been a ton of specials and ads on the TV for this one but not sure if it will hold up. New at #2 is the comedy Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins with 17.2 mil. Holding in at #3 is "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert" with another 10.5 mil. In at #4 is the thriller "The Eye" with an extra 6.6 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is the comedy "Juno" with another 5.7 mil and a cume of over 117 million for this little film that could.

Comment Response:
None at this time.

Other News:
It looks like the 3+ month long Writers Guild of America strike may be coming to an end. Saturday night a big rally was held at both New York and Los Angeles to give the members the breakdown of the deal given to them. From the reports, the overall tone of the crowd was pleasing with many cheers and standing oviations to the negotiating committee. Since Saturday night, there is a 48 hour window for the voting process and then a new deal will be officially drafted and signed by both parties. If all goes to plan, folks may be back to work as early as Wednesday although that does not help TV's "pilot season" as that time frame has passed to save. I am sure, if the major networks are smart, will go into full production as soon as they can and hope that mid-season material will be enough to save many shows into the Fall season.
