DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!!!

My favorite time of year!  How sad is that?  But honestly, I do like it that it gets darker sooner than later and that we get that extra hour of sleep.  I mean I still work up what I thought was 8 but was now 7AM but knowing I could go back to sleep for nothing was still a nice feeling ... the POWER of time!  The one time we get it and must use it for good.  Unlike that nasty Spring where they take the hour away from us, strip us of this super power ... but to have it back.  Silly?!  Foolish mortal, this isn't silly, it is power!  POWER!!!  Ok, maybe it is a bit silly but it sounds like a lot of fun and still, I will take it because I like time but time doesn't like me.

Weekly Update:
Had a very busy week and glad it is over but looking ahead to this week, going to be just as busy I think!!!  The days in general were hectic and had to deal with another sick dog.  Shadow got sick again but it is her own fault for getting into a bag of what we believe was a bad bag of dog food.  We know it was her because she would do that plus she got sick before eating a foster's food which is the same food she got into.  So poop everywhere again, fun times.  But then Saturday was a long busy day at the annual Stan Lee Comikaze convention.  It was bigger this year from last year and managed to snap some pics with some cool folks:

*Jamie Bamber - I know him best for the "Horatio Hornblower" mini-series but a very cool guy!
*Gwendoline Christie - best known as Brienne of Tarth from "Game of Thrones" and super nice!
*Jewel Staite - from "Stargate: Atlantis" and very nice.
*Alex Borstein - from "MadTV" and "Family Guy" and very nice.

At the movies:
Not the superhero but the movie, "Nightcrawler" wins the weekend with 10.9 million for it's debut.  Below expectations but still enough to get the crown.  Should cap out around mid 20 mil when it is all said and done.  Drop to #2 is "Ouija" with another 10.9 mil, just shy of taking #1 but to be honest, it may have been #1 but Universal may have conceded the week.  Hanging on to #3 is "Fury" with an extra 9 mil as it continues to roll along.  Still going strong at #4 is "Gone Girl" with 8.8 mil extra as it keeps heading to that 150 mil cume mark.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Book of Life" with another 8.3 mil as it struggles to get to 50 mil cume.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two but honestly it should be just one ... "Before I Go To Sleep" comes in at #14 with only 2 mil which is pretty bad.  New comer Clarius Entertainment hitting solid ... brick on that one.  Re-issue 10th Anniversary "Saw" comes in at #21 with only 650k which is extremely below expectations for both films but Halloween fell on that Friday, people do not go to the movie theatre on the day of the event typically.
