HOT!! I know we never had a Winter season in Southern California but I guess we are skipping Spring as well and going straight to Summer-Time! It was SO hot this past week, at least 2 to 3 days in the 100 degree plus range but the evenings were very cool. The heat finally broke on Sunday but it was just too much and especially since last week we had nice cool weather with rain ... what is going on here! The coming week doesn't look like it will be as crazy hot but will still be warm towards the last half. I just don't know what is going on anymore with this weather and what it means for this summer ... I don't want to think about that!Weekly Update:
The week in general was pretty slow and boring for me, didn't do much and just basically tried to stay cool the entire time but to much failure in that area. Just so hot and all you want to do is do nothing and hope it cools you down but it doesn't, really miserable actually. But Saturday was pretty crazy, it was national Free Comic Book Day! So helping out my local comic book store and it was just crazy but good at the same time. I miss the rush of people from the days of working at the movie theatre. Free comics, lots of stuff on sale and I was able to get my friend to bring his real life-sized working R2-D2 and Wall*E units for an hour to entertain kids and adults. I got to control R2-D2 during the time he was there while the guy who built them ran Wall*E, it was pretty cool. I didn't know all the cool features of R2 till at the end but I moved his head a bunch of times and played with his speech button. Everyone loved it, took pictures with both of them and just had a great time during the event. But it was also such a long day ... slept most of Sunday to recover!
At the movies:
Our trusty web-slinger The Amazing Spider-Man 2 takes the box office with a hefty 92.0 million for is debut however did not break opening as the previous Marvel superhero did last month. Word-of-mouth is below average on this film, could suffer a deeper drop off next week. Holding ground at #2 is "The Other Woman" with another 14.2 mil and will probably cap out below 100 mil. Gradually drop at #3 is "Heaven is For Real" with 8.7 more. Defending the #4 spot is "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" with another 7.8 mil and should end up around 250 mil when it is done. Rounding off the top 5 is "Rio 2" with 7.6 mil extra as it just passes the 100 mil mark!
