Finally cooling down ... I can have windows open during the day and not worry about it getting so hot. I mean I could always open the windows but with no breeze everything because a sweat house or something because it is so hot and was still humid till recently. Now we are starting to see and feel like Fall for Southern California. I just hope it stays this ways and we don't get another heat wave or something because what we need now is some rain! The drought is getting worse and they say it is the worst in 3 years? How about 10? 20? We are in a constant drought and as our population increases, it only gets worse. Has someone invited during a grain of sand into a gallon of water yet? Because I think that will help out ... a lot. Someone get on that please! PS: I don't really know why I put that picture on the top, it just struck me as nice for some reason.Weekly Update:
What to say, what to say ... not much happened this past week other than lack of sleep and running all over the place. I mean that sums things up in a nutshell. I went to LA on Sunday and that drive was crazy busy for a Sunday. I think there was some parade down one of the main streets or something because when I got to my destination the street cleaners were going and barricades every where being picked up to reopen traffic. So that was probably whythe traffic was so bad and everyone trying to get around things. Barricades are pretty interesting, I like how they interlock with one another and if they are used to keep back protesters ... they never realize you can just lift up the one end and it opens but instead you see news reports of them pushing the whole thing down. It is kind of fascinating that one doesn't just take 2 seconds to look down and realize, "oh hey, if you life this up it unlocks itself!" Well, I guess when you are in some sort of state-of-frenzy you probably don't think to look or check.
At the movies:
Fending off to keep the title this week is "Gone Girl" holding it's #1 spot for the 2nd week in a row with a very low drop bringing in an extra 26.8 million. It is currently on track to possibly hit the 150 mil mark when it is all said and done. New at #2 is "Dracula Untold" debuting with a decent 23.5 mil and right about expectations. The number is fair but in the bigger picture, not enough. New at #3 is "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" with a 19.1 mil opening. Just shy of expectations but still good for this film during this time. Holding on to #4 is "Anabelle" with another 16.4 mil as it tries to reach the 100 mil cume but won't make it. New at #5 is "The Judge" earning 13.3 mil and below expectations but still a decent opening.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as "Addicted" comes in at #7 and made 7.6 mil and not too far off industry estimations.
