It's heating up!! The summer must finally be here because I had to turn on the AC a couple of times during the week at home. The nights still remain cool which is nice and the full moon came out which means either the month is ending or the start of a new month is here ... or a bit of both! New moons are kind of cool because its like God changed the light bulb in the nightlight or something. They say it makes people do strange and crazy things ... don't know why, it's just bigger and brighter for maybe a week. Enjoy it!Weekly Update:
Not much to report on this past week. I had some nice lunch gatherings with some friends and stuff but that was about it. I did visit this office for a small independent movie distribution company and it turns out it was a big house on a hill. The view was pretty amazing and the house was very cool as well. The backyard has a big pool and nice green grass ... the company owns the house and just converted into offices which is interesting. So you are basically leaving home to go to work ... in a home.
At the movies:Not a big surprise at the box office as "Toy Story 3" takes top honors again for its 2nd week with an additional 59 million and now with a cume of over 225 mil for its first 10-days! New at the box office at #2 is the comedy Grown Ups with 41 mil for its debut. At a disappointing #3 spot is the action movie Knight and Day with a 5-day opening of only 27.8 mil. Very low number for this high budget film and pedigree cast of Cruise and Diaz. Holding in strong at #4 is "The Karate Kid" with another 15.4 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "The A-Team" with an additional 6 mil as it struggles to get to 70 cume.
