Is there a special pass that I don't know about that allows you to drive on the shoulder and ignore all safety like not using your turn signal when changing lanes several times? I want one of those, where do I get one?! Seriously, lately it seems like people don't care who is around them. I know they say drive defensively but in California it is offense offense offense. But at least have some kind of courtesy to signal when coming into my lane ... AND, stay in your lane if its slower than mine please. Do not switch into my lane and then make me hit the breaks because the care in front of you is not 25 car lengths ahead.Weekly Update:
VERY tiring week and glad it is over!!! Had work stuff to do which was actually the light part of everything!! But on Tuesday had to take a friend to a recording studio for some dubbing and got to meet a film maker who was very cool and saw clips of his upcoming film which looks really good:
*Boak Yakin- Director for "Remember the Titans" and "Uptown Girls" and a really cool guy.
Then on Thursday was on the set for this promo piece being put together for the RED Camera which is a really interesting and cool new set-up for film making. What was even more interesting was I met the creator of Oakley Sunglasses there, I guess he is involved with this new camera. Also got to meet a few more folks:
*Bill Paxton- From "Apollo 13" and "True Lies" and a REALLY cool guy! He was directing the promo piece.
*Daniel Henney- Up and coming actor in small various roles and a nice guy.
*Craig Ng- Been in a few movies but does mostly stand-in work but a really nice guy.
The week didn't stop there as I spent the weekend at this convention called Monsterpalooza which focuses on horror and movie make-up to props for the genre. Got to meet a few more folks there as well:
*Joe Turkel- From "Blade Runner" to "The Sand Pebbles" and a nice guy.
*Mick Garris- Writer and director of mostly horror type stuff and a cool guy.
*Josh Sussman- Reoccurring role on the show "Glee" and a nice guy.
*Daniel Bernhardt- Karate expert from so many various films back in the 80's and a very cool guy.
*James Lew- I know him best from "Big Trouble in Little China" (BTILC) and was one of the good guy gang members ... really nice guy.
*Gerald Okamura- Another cast member from BTILC who was on the bad guy side and a really cool guy.
*George Cheung- More BTILC cast and another good guy ... REALLY funny guy too!
*Al Leong- Also from BTILC but Al has been in so many movies like "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and the original "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon" movies. A very sweet man.
At the movies:Interesting weekend as the live-action/animated feature "Hop" takes top honors for the 2nd weekend in a row with an extra 21.7 million and now north of 65 mil cume for its first 10-days. New at #2 is the remake comedy of Arthur with a mild 12.6 mil. What is funny is the star of this film is also the main character voice in "Hop" Russell Brand. New at #3 is the thriller action film Hanna with 12.3 mil. The true life story of Soul Surfer earns 11.1 mil and 4th place for the weekend. Rounding off the top 5 is "Insidious" with an extra 9.7 mil.

Other News:
Found an interesting article about the worst airline carriers but it isn't necessarily a list but the worst in different categories. Let's check it out ... Meanest Major Carrier: United, they had the highest customer service complaint rate but my experiences have been really good. Meanest Region Carrier: American Eagle, haven't flown them in at least 10 years so back then they were really good. Most Complained About Airline: Delta, found them to be good but this seems the same category as Meanest. Most Likely to be Unsafe: JetBlue, I have not flown with them but I know their fleet is very small so I have to guess if you have even one plane with a problem, it is a high percentage of problems overall. Most Likely to Overcharge For Bags: Delta/US Airways/Continental, I think any charge like this is overcharging. Most Likely to Bump You: American Eagle, again never been bumped myself. Most Likely to be Late: Comair, never even heard of this one! Apparently 73.1% of flights last year were late. Most Likely to Mishandle Your Bag: American Eagle, I have had at least one misplaced bag situation but got it back the very next day ... I think it was Delta too.
