Talk about some crazy weather. So pretty much through the week it remained cool to cold at night, no problem. But then on Wednesday and Friday we got hit with some crazy thunderstorms and mass amounts of rain. Of course this is good but at the same time odd this time of year and didn't last very long at all. When it hit, it hit hard but then went away within almost minutes. Had the thunder but didn't see any lightning and pretty much scared most of the dogs (foster ones anyway). Now this upcoming week looks sunny and a bit more.Weekly Update:
Kind of a busy week with some errands and appointments but on top of the CRAZY heavy rain we had, it was also long. But the end of the week was the fun part, I ended up going to the last day of this horror convention in Burbank called Monsterpalooza. Every year it pretty much sells out and this year was no exception. I only went the last day though and it was still pretty crazy. While there though, I got to meet a few people and grab some pics with:
*William Ragsdale - Best known for the TV show "Herman's Head" and a cool guy.
*John Landis - Famous director, best know for "The Blues Brothers" and "Animal House" to name a few and a GREAT guy!
*Chris Sarandon - Best known for "The Princess Bride" and Jack from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," a really cool guy.
*Amanda Bearse - Best known from "Married With Children" and super sweet.
So all in all, not a bad week at all.
At the movies:The games are still in the lead for the 4th week in a row! "The Hunger Games" earns an extra 21.5 mil to not only remain in first place again but not has passed the 330 mil cume mark for domestic box office! New at the #2 is The Three Stooges with 17.1 mil for this slapstick laugher. Also new at #3 is the suspense film The Cabin in the Woods as it earns 14.9 mil. At #4 is the re-release of "Titanic" as it earns another 11.6 mil for this epic film. Rounding off the top 5 is "American Reunion" as it falls to 5th place earning an extra 10.7 mil.
New movies that did not make the top 5: Just one wide release this week as the sci-fi action film Lockout comes in at a terrible 9th place earning only 6.3 mil for this Spring Break time frame.

Other News:
America's worst airports for connections ... really? #10) Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International: in Broward County, FL which has a 21% on time record. I guess the on time record reflects the mad dash from one flight to the next. #9) Washington Dulles International - in Dulles, VA with a slightly lower 21% arrival record. #8) Ronald Reagan Washington National - close to Dulles and about 22% off. #7) Philadelphia International - 12th busiest airport in the world and about 23% off. #6) O'Hare International in Chicago, IL - voted "Best Airport in North America" by Global Traveler magazine in the mid to late 2000's but has the third worst departure record last year with 25% off. #5) NY JFK International - Has to be one of the busiest in the world but its on time record was about 22% off. #4) Logan International in Boston - largest in the area and off by 26%. #3) LaGuardia in NY - 2nd largest in the world but off by almost 23% which doesn't strike me as that bad. However, this airport was rated as worst major airport by a Zagat survey because it was "dull and sad." #2) San Francisco International in California - 2nd largest in CA after LAX and almost 29% late arrivals. #1) Newark Liberty International - 33% off!
