Hot and cold, hot and cold. It warmed up a bit this past week during the day but the nights remained very cool. I visited some friends camping at the beach which seemed like a very cool place. You can either tent or RV camp it but it was so cold down there during the day with the ocean breezes, I may want to try it but with an RV. Also had a small earthquake late Sunday afternoon. Not sure where it was centered at but it lasted for maybe 2 seconds if that. There was more noise than shake.Weekly Update:
Not a whole lot to update on, the last week for the most part was pretty uneventful with a dinner or lunch meeting here or there. This upcoming week looks to be the same as far as I can tell but never know what may pop in there. Been more sleepy lately but had some nights were I couldn't sleep yet still had to get up way early, thrill. Nope, all in all just a very quiet week and hope it stays that way. May go to the OC Fair later this week so that could be something ... everything-on-a-stick, here I come! Ok, not really but they do seem to put just about everything one can imagine on a stick, deep fry it and charge $10 for it! But hey, its the fair and something you do maybe once a year.
At the movies:
No change at the box office as "Inception" takes the crown for the third week in a row. We typically don't see that anymore or simply very rare. It chimes in with another 27.5 million and now just short of 200 mil mark. New at #2 is the comedy Dinner for Schmucks with 23.3 mil. Slight drop to #3 is "Salt" with 19.3 mil. Holding strong at #4 is "Despicable Me" earning an additional 15.5 mil and also just short of the 200 mil cume. Rounding off the top 5 is Cats & Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore opening with 12.5 mil.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Just one this week and no surprise here as Charlie St. Cloud comes in at the #6 spot with only 12.1 mil.
Quote of the week:
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
Other News:One of Hollywood's better known character actors, Maury Chaykin, passed away last Tuesday on this 61st birthday in Toronto. Cause of death was complications of the heart valve infection. Chaykin had suffered numerous medial problems of recent years and being a hefty man did not help much. Chaykin's career has spanned hundreds of movies and TV appearances including "Dances with Wolves" playing Major Fambrough, the suicidal officer. A notable role in "My Cousin Vinny" as the "magic grits" witness. More recently in the HBO series "Entourage" as Harvey Weingard which is no doubt a mockery of studio executive Harvey Weinstein. Chaykin did most of his work in and on Canadian TV were there was more steady work. He was the comedic side character in many of his roles ... never really had a chance to shine center stage.
