VETERAN'S DAY EDITIONAnother holiday but how many realize it? Yep it is Veteran's day today, another day to celebrate and remember those who have and are currently serving in our Armed Forces. The sacrifice they have made so we can enjoy our way of life and freedoms. Many say we don't have much in terms of freedoms, they should go abroad and compare. But in order to protect those many freedoms they think we have or not, it all comes to those who gave up a part of their life to ensure we maintain what we have. So please do not forget them and above all, respect them.
Weekly Update:
What a crazy long weekend it was. The week itself was OK, bunch of errands and running around but the weekend was VERY long. I went to Blizzard Entertainments BlizzCon for the first time which is the convention in Anaheim that is solely for Blizzard and their games. Blizzard only has three active games right now which are World of Warcraft (WoW), StarCraft (SC) and Diablo 3 (D3) which are all immensely popular and by having their own convention, that should prove it right there! This convention is one the VERY rare ones that sell out within an hour of the tickets going on sale. It sold out so fast this year, they created "Virtual Tickets" so people can watch it live stream online. Yes, people paid $40 to watch a convention online and see people talk and play games ... is this crazy or just me?? But I got to go this year since I had to help someone with a panel and it was pretty fun. Didn't get to play much but what I did I really enjoyed. While there, I did run into a couple people I knew plus a new one:*Keone Young - does the main voice in the new WoW expansion and a very cool guy.
At the movies:
BOOM!!! The season is upon us! Disney/Marvel's Thor: The Dark World starts off with a resounding 86.1 million for the holiday weekend with Monday still left to go. Should post just north of 90 million easily. The sequel has very solid reactions which will mean a good hold-over for next week. Still holding solid ground is "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" with another 11.3 mil as it closes in on the 100 mil cume ... it may just fall short of it I think. With no other competition in the market place, "Free Birds" earns another 11.2 mil. Decent hold for it's 2nd week is "Last Vegas" with another 11.1 mil as the exploits of the senior crowd has fun in Vegas. Rounding off the top 5 is "Ender's Game" with a significant drop and earning another 10.3 mil.
