Ok make the heat go away someone!!! The official first day of Fall (or the Autumnal Equinox) was last Tuesday and it has basically been nothing but a massive summer heat wave for the past week. Some of the nights have been cool but a couple in there remained in the high 70's with no breezes. No breezes means it stays warm and you keep the AC going all through the night. What is the deal here? I want DST (Daylight Savings Time) to start! But I don't think that happens till the end of October ... why? I don't know, I just want it! And the Fall one, not the Spring one because I hate losing an hour.Weekly Update:
Stop this crazy world, I want to get off ... just as I thought last week was a sort of "roller-coaster" for me, this week seemed almost just as crazy. So Monday night I ended up going to the after-party for the film "The Invention of Lying" because my good friend Jacob thought it would be star-studded since it was the night after the Emmy's and that is a very valid point. It was a bit lack-lustre which was surprising but still got some snaps with some folks:
*Lizzy Caplan- From various TV shows like "True Blood" and "American Dad" as well as some movies. Plus she was very sweet.
*Nikki Reed- From both "Twlight" movies and a really nice person.
*Martin Starr- Various small roles in numerous movies and seemed a bit out of it.
*Fionnula Flanagan- A few "Lost" episodes and a very sweet lady.
*John Hodgman- Best known as PC from the Mac commercials and a very cool guy.
*Rob Lowe- Numerous credits but most recently from the TV show "Brothers & Sisters" and just an overall cool guy!
Then on Wednesday I attended a "Fame" event at the Grove in Los Angeles. I didn't stay for the movie but they did a little mini concert which was entertaining. While there I ran into some folks:
*Cassie Scerbo- Young talent who hasn't been on anything big yet but she was very nice.
*Kay Panabaker- Another young talent and most recently in "Fame" who is also very sweet.
*Mario Lopez- AC Slater himself from "Saved by the Bell" and he seemed nice.
*Charles S. Dutton- Use to have a show himself called "Roc" which he was the title character and a cool guy.
*Megan Mullally- Best known as Karen from "Will and Grace" and a very nice person.
At the movies:
Animated comedy hangs on to the box office crown this week as "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" earns another 24.6 million. New at #2 is the sci-fi thriller Surrogates with 15 mil ... and to be honest I didn't even know this film was opening. Singing in at #3 is remake of Fame with only 10 mil and from what I hear, just see the original. Small drop to #4 is "The Informant!" with an additional 6.9 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself" with another 4.8 mil and I can't wait for this film to be out of the top 5 because the title is simply way too long.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Just one this week and also no surprise here as the horror film Pandorum earns only 4.4 mil which is pretty low for a wide release and it chimes in at #6.
Quote of the week:

Other News:A new poll taken by "60 Minutes" and Vanity Fair revealed that Wal-Mart best symbolizes America ... really?? So you are telling me a company that pays its employees very little yet if they were to shop at Wal-Mart they couldn't survive is the symbol of the US? Actually, I guess if you really think about it does in a way. Can't afford goods that we sell or can't afford within our means. To me, Wal-Mart symbolizes what kids can do to your company once the founder passes on and they want more profits over happy employees. Another part of this poll shows that dining out was chosen most as a luxury they hate to give-up during these economic times which I do agree with. This is also interesting, 37% say that a politician taking bribes is far greater a sin then the 2% saying an extramartial affair is a greater sin. One last interesting tid bit on this poll ... 24% say that would like to trade places for a week with President Obama while 26% say George Clooney. I would pick Clooney as well because to run a country for a week is WAY more intense and stressful then say being on your own yacht doing nothing or working on a movie set with the current hottest leading lady ... huh, decisions decisions.
