So the month of April is coming to a close soon (already half-way over) and what happened to the "spring showers" or "April showers" as they are sometimes called? We had the cool weather this past week and some days of clouds but no water. Give me something to enjoy! But the month is not over yet so there is still some hope. Maybe we will get one day before the month is over for a little rain, just a little, that is not much to ask for is it?Weekly Update:
Yet another week of semi-stress but not as bad as some of the other weeks lately. Still trying to recover in general from my latest business trip to the San Francisco area. I use to like work because it wasn't really work, it was that sort of "love what you do" type of job. Now it is work and work sucks. It is to the point were you don't feel like going in and you can't wait to get out of there. What happened you may ask? Too much stuff to list it all that it's not even worth it. At least I have my hobbies to keep me "happy" busy. I guess that is one nice thing about blog'in ... I can vent all I want!
At the movies:
Martial arts chops its way into the top slot this week as The Forbidden Kingdom earns a nice 20.9 million in its debut. This is a long awaited matching of the two international powerhouses in the same movie (Jackie Chan and Jet Li). New at #2 is Forgetting Sarah Marshall with 17.3 mil. Holding on to the #3 spot is "Prom Night" with an extra 9.1 mil to the dance. New at #4 is 88 Minutes with a disappointing 6.8 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "Nim's Island" with another 5.9 mil and no rescue in sight.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Just one this week in semi-wide release is Expelled with only 3.2 mil and class is completely dismissed.
