I am not sure where I am anymore. It got warm again this week, in the mid to high 80's and it is November? I am just not sure. The nights are fine, low 60's to mid 50's which seems good but the days have been very warm, a bit windy but most of all, very dry. I guess the dry weather would be fine if it was crisp and cold but it isn't so it doesn't make sense. I don't know how this effects our drought but I am sure it can't be good ... cold doesn't mean moisture, dry sure doesn't but are we using less water in this case? Probably not less but just the same. WE NEED RAIN.Weekly Update:
This past week turned out pretty busy for me with super early mornings and late nights but what else is new. We had a planned power outage for Saturday night to Monday morning, it was supposed to be from 10PM to 6AM, quiet a gap if you ask me. I was watching TV and figured I would knock some recorded shows out of the way till it happened and it went off at exactly 10:30. I wasn't that tired yet so dug up the old PSP and watched a movie on that but then I feel asleep and towards the end of the movie couldn't figure out how to turn it off, I was so sleepy I guess. I kept hitting buttons and stuff and all I ended up doing was hitting chapter searches and ended up back at the start of the movie. I finally figured it out in my half sleep gaze and went back to sleep. The power came back on about 5:45AM, they sure did use up that time they said they would. Then I went back to sleep and tried to get some extra rest for a few more hours.
At the movies:Let the Box Office Winter Games begin ... as "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I" takes the crown this week with a hefty 123 million for it's debut. Actually a bit under expectations but more than enough to be the biggest opening of the year surpassing Transformers from this past Summer. A good hold onto #2 is "Big Hero 6" with 20.1 mil extra as this climbs it's way to a possible 200 mil cume. Still flying high at #3 is "Interstellar" with 15.1 mil as this finally breaks the 100 mil cume mark. Drop down to #4 is "Dumb and Dumber To" with 13.8 mil as it slowly makes a run for the 100 mil mark but I think it may fall short of it. Rounding off the top 5 and still going after 8 week is "Gone Girl" with 2.8 mil more.

Facts & Tips:A spider's silk is stronger than steel.
"You don't appreciate the chaos and absurdity of life on this planet. You don't understand irony, or ethnicity, or eccentricity, or poetry, or the simple joy of being a regular at the diner on your block. I love that. You don't drink coffee or alcohol. You don't over eat. You don't cry when you're alone. You don't understand sarcasm. You plod through life in a neat, colorless, caffeine free, dairy free, conflict free way. I'm bold and angry and tortured and tremendous and I notice when someone has changed their hair part, or when someone is wearing two very distinctly different shades of black or when someone changes the natural temperament of their voice on the phone. I don't give out empty praise. I'm not complacent or well-adjusted. I can't spend fifteen minutes breathing and stretching and getting in touch with myself. I can't spend three minutes finishing an article. I check my answering machine nine times every day and I can't sleep at night because I feel that there is so much to do and fix and change in the world, and I wonder every day if I am making a difference and if I will ever express the greatness within me, or if I will remain forever paralyzed by muddled madness inside my head. I've wept on every birthday I've ever had because life is huge and fleeting and I hate certain people and certain shoes and I feel that life is terribly unfair and sometimes beautiful and wonderful and extraordinary but also numbing and horrifying and insurmountable and I hate myself a lot of the time. The rest of the time I adore myself and I adore my life in this city and in this world we live in. This huge and wondrous, bewildering, brilliant, horrible world." - Jennifer Westfeldt as Jessica Stein in "Kissing Jessica Stein."
