So this is ... I don't know what this is! I was driving to work the other day and this SUV type vehicle cut me off on a main surface street. So what, no big deal, they didn't signal or anything. Then they speed up ahead and did it to another car up ahead of me, ok this person is very annoying. Again no signal or anything. So I watch it drive further and they were speeding that much past the speed limit when I saw it come up to another car, this other car had it's signal on and made the lane change. The guy in the SUV honked at them!! Sometimes you just want to zap people, you know!Weekly Update:
On Saturday I had a little fun, I went to "The Spy Next Door" premiere which was at the Grove in LA. The movie itself was cute and fun but nothing to rave home about. I saw some of the main cast there but didn't get close enough to get any pics since there really wasn't any after party ... which is always a bummer. But I did manage to get some pictures with people either there at the event or who were in the film:
*Magnus Scheving- Played the main bad guy and was VERY cool.
*Katherine Boecher- was the right hand woman to the boss bad guy in the movie and very friendly.
*Troy Brenna- one of the bad guy bodyguards and cool guy.
*David Mattey- another bodyguard and way funny too.
*David Foley- his daughter is in the movie and one of my favorites from "Kids in the Hall" ... REALLY nice guy!
At the movies:Still holding strong at the box office is "Avatar" as it takes the #1 spot for the 4th week in a row earning another 48.5 million and now over the 400 mil cume mark. Also holding on strong is "Sherlock Holmes" with an extra 16.6 mil as it surpasses the 160 mil cume mark at #2. Still singing at #3 is "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel" earning 16.3 mil more as this film collectively goes north of the 175 mil cume mark. New at #4 is the suspense-thriller Daybreakers with 15 mil to open. Rounding off the top 5 is "It's Complicated" with another 11 mil.
New movies that did not make the top 5: We have two this week with not so surprising numbers. In at #6 was the rom-com Leap Year with 9.2 million. In at #9 is Youth in Revolt earning only 7 mil to open and probably close with. I guess audiences Leaped past that one in Revolt!

Other News:
I'm not sure what is going on lately in California but it has seen a couple of big earthquakes recently. On Monday or Tuesday the San Jose area in Northern California was hit with a nice 4.6 magnitude. No reports of causalities or major damage. Then on Saturday, the Eureka area felt a big 6.5! On this one there was obviously more damage reported with only around 30 people being hurt but nothing serious. This latter one did knock out power for over 125,000 people for several hours as well as chimney's crumbling, glass breaking and traffic signs falling. Of course the after shocks were pretty much happening throughout the day but it makes you wonder ... what is going on? It first started much further north and then a bigger one hits central California. Is it a slow ripple making its way down the coast? Hope not but it does happen. Earthquakes happen probably every few minutes but we never feel them unless they reach a certain magnitude otherwise we will never notice.
