Carts! I don't understand no matter where you are, shopping center, grocery store, any place that has shopping carts for you to use ... people are in their own little zone and forget that other people are around and block the aisles with their carts! It is simple folks, if you are shopping and you stop to look at something or even read the labels, that is fine but move your cart to the side and not in the middle of the lane! Don't block the lane! It's like driving on the road, if you want to use your cell or text, you wouldn't stop in the middle of the road! Ideally you would move off to the side.Weekly Update:
Little bit of a busy week, had a big charity event on Wednesday which was the crazy point of the week and I am glad it is over because it was a lot of planning and just preparing for it. But when it was all said and done, everything seemed to have worked out pretty well. With that, I sure don't remember too much of the rest of the week. OH wait, I did go to the Lantern Festival on Saturday. That was kind of fun and it's a yearly thing right there across from Union Station in Downtown LA. There was a Chinese-American Museum, who know that was there! I did not look at the whole museum but it was narrow and only saw the first floor, it was also pretty warm in there. I'm not sure how long that building was there but it was pretty old. Other than that, glad the week is over.
At the movies:Shocker at the box office as the next Dr. Seuss movie hits the big screen and it also opened on Seuss' birthday! This movie is funny, well made and delivers a message of environmental importance. The good Doctor takes the crown with Dr. Seuss' The Lorax with 70.7 million! New at #2 is the comedy party movie of Project X with 20.8 mil. Not a bad number for mid-season. Slight drop to #3 is "Act of Valor" with another 13.7 mil. Also slight drop to #4 is "Safe House" with an extra 7.2 mil as this film moves past the 100 mil cume mark. Rounding off the top 5 is "Tyler Perry's Good Deeds" with 7 mil more.
Quote of the week:

Other News:Double bad news this week as not only Hollywood loses some folks but the art community as well. This past Wednesday, music and TV personality Davy Jones passed away due to a sudden heart attack. Jones is best known for his sitcom TV show "The Monkees" during the mid 1960's and the premise was a musical group that lived day-to-day with antics and fun. Jones was the lead singer of the group but it was also a collaborative effort. The show was pretty silly but at the same time, normal for the time. They would have an adventure each time and throughout the course of the show, they would sing a couple of musical numbers or show a zany montage set to their music. The show and band had some controversy when it was discovered none of them played or knew how to play instruments yet showed them in the show using them. They quickly learned how to play and became a legitimate band. Davy Jones was 66.
On Saturday, a great visionary and artist passed due to complications with Parkinson Disease, Ralph McQuarrie. The name may not be known that well but his works are. His greatest works (or well known) are when George Lucas, the creator of the "Star Wars" films had Ralph help him envision this sci-fi fantasy world he was creating. Ralph's work set the tone and future of Lucas' universe. Ralph also is known for influencing other films such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," the original TV series "Battlestar Galactica" and "Cocoon." For the film "Cocoon," Ralph one an Oscar for Best Visual Effects (1985). I was suppose to meet this legend late last year but due to health reasons, I was unable to. He was 82.
