Rain?? Well not quite but it did drizzle and mist a lot the last few days. It was refreshing like a nice mist on a warm Summer day but without the warm. We need rain though unless we get 365-days of mist then we may become like Seattle and its dreary weather. But that might be worth it if he helps our drought problem! But just a few days of heavy rain, we would be good ... for a very short time. What is funny, reports said thunderstorms and what happened? Yep, nothing as expected ... weather report and reporters are pretty much useless. Apps on your phone work just as well and hook them up to some kind of radar device. Then it will be up to the second probably and definitely more accurate than any thing we see on TV.
Weekly Update:It was a pretty busy week but the big part was being in a wedding on Saturday. We had a rehearsal dinner on Wednesday at a pretty good tasty Filipino restaurant called Max's of Manila. I did not realize how unhealthy they eat! Everything was almost fried, lot of fat and all so tasty. I always thought they would have a lot of fish or seafood but apparently it is mostly pork and chicken. But it was good and then right after we spent probably another few hours at the church going through everything so it made for a pretty long evening. But overall the wedding itself was great and fun, hope everyone had a great time too.
At the movies:Big surprise as The Conjuring 2 takes the box office crown with 40.4 million. Well above all expectations and we have not seen a horror film with this kind of numbers in years, especially for a sequel. Word-of-mouth is good on the film and should reach the 100 mil cume mark. New at #2 is the video-game to movie Warcraft with 24.4 mil which is close to expectations and honestly not a bad number despite all the bad reviews. No doubt the movie will help the game itself and bring back some players. Coming in at #3 is Now You See Me 2 with 23 mil and right at expectations. Fair word-of-mouth on this but some how did not bring the magic like the first one. Big drop to #4 is "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" with another 14.8 mil, almost a 60% drop from last week. Unfortunately will now definitely fall short of 100 mil cume for domestic. Rounding off the top 5 is "X-Men: Apocalypse" with another 10 mil as it quickly slows down after 3 weeks in release.
