And it continues to stay cool!  Two weeks in a row and loving it.  I mean the sun is out which is fine but at least it has been breezy and the temps in the high 70's for the most part.  Nights are really nice, mid 60's which for me is good cuddle in the blankets weather.  So we are now in warm fuzzy blanket season ... that should be a season!  My purple blanket picture looks like a big old purple bathroom towel ... its an Internet picture but I do think I have a towel like that now that I look at it!  Well, towels can be blankets too if you are in need of one.  It still covers you up and will be extra absorbent too!  Wait a minute ... blanket towel?  Is this a possible thing?  I could be!  Get warm when you get out of the shower or take your shower ... OK, it may need a little work.

Weekly Update:
So having to watch 3 dogs this week and in the process of doing that, two of them get sick.  Not pleasant and been having to sleep on the couch in case someone needs to go outside and can't hold the load of liquid poop!  Yep, liquid poop is a thing and it isn't pleasant by any means.  I thought one time I was going to throw-up while cleaning it ... so much mess and one of the dogs also added some throw-up to it as well but it wasn't mostly liquid.  That ended after a day but the other end was still going.  Not pleasant and very tiring ... dog pictured is not one of them, that is another Internet picture but pretty close to Maddox (sick foster dog).  I hope it all stops soon ... I need it to stop soon so I don't get sick from it.  I know I can't sick from it but I mean sick sick, like "ew" sick.

At the movies:

World War II drama blows through the competition this weekend as "Fury" earns the #1 spot with a debut of 23.5 million.  Just slightly above expectations but given the price tag on this film, needs to do much more.  Holding ground at #2 is "Gone Girl" earning an extra 17.8 mil as it surpasses the 100 mil cume mark and continues to build.  This film should cap out just north of 150+ mil.  New at #3 is "The Book of Life" with a decent 17 mil and about expectations for this style of film during this time of year.  Slight drop to #4 is "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" with another 12 mil.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Best of Me" with 10.2 mil to open and on the low end of expectations but still good for this film.

Notable films this week ... At the #18 spot with being on 4 locations across the country is "Birdman" earning a very strong 420,000 which gives it a screen average of 103k!  That is both huge in the independent and mainstream market.  Word-of-mouth is tremendous on this film and look for it to go wide with solid numbers not to mention great award buzz as we approach award season.
