Lately the weather has been pretty dang nice.  Not too hot and great breezes coming in, this is what Spring (and Summer) should be but I have a feeling it won't last too long.  After the last Winter we didn't have, I suspect a really bad Summer but we shall see.  I thought there was suppose to be some rain coming but nada on that front.  They tease with it but then it never happens ... bummer.  Well, I just hope it maintains this way for a long long time.  It just actually feels like what it is suppose to feel like and that isn't too much to ask for, is it?  Winter is Winter, Spring is Spring and Summer is Summer ... oh and Fall is Fall of course.  Not Summer is Fall, Winter and Spring while Hades the Underworld is Summer.

Weekly Update:
Well it was an interesting end to a long week.  During the week itself was the same old stuff, just boring things and errands.  I am so bored ... but on Sunday I attended the first ever in Hollywood the Huading Awards.  It is what they call the "Chinese" Oscars but the votes are by the people so in reality it is more of a People's Choice Award because the Oscars is suppose to be from the peers or industry related folks.  But it was the 12th Annual of these awards but the first time they held them in Hollywood ... actually I think the U.S. in general but not 100% sure.  But while there I got to run into a couple of old friends and new ones as well:

*Don Mischer - produced the show and has also done many Academy Awards and other shows of the like, super guy.
*Jessika Van - mostly some TV appearance and shorts, but nice.
*Jordana Brewster - Mostly from the "Fast and Furious" franchise and really cool.
*Charlie Hunnam - from "Pacific Rim" and "Sons of Anarchy" and just an overall great guy.

At the movies:
Disney scores big again with the live-action film of Maleficent earning a hefty 70 mil at the box office this weekend exceeding all expectations for a non-holiday time frame.  The week should be good for it as well and could hit 100 mil in no time.  Big drop to #2 is "X-Men: Days of Future Past" with another 32.6 mil as it races for the 200 mil mark and should get there in time.  Debuting at #3 is A Million Ways to Die in the West with 17.1 mil, well below expectations, but I guess we already saw the one big R-Rated comedy for the summer earlier with "Neighbors" (currently #6 this week).  Still falling with above-average drops is "Godzilla" earning another 12.2 mil but looks like will fall just shy of 200 mil when it is all said and done.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Blended" which had a below-average drop earning 8.4 mil.
