Getting colder and getting ... just getting colder. Finally starting to feel a bit like winter but not quiet there yet. Where is the rain? At least getting to wear jackets again is nice. I don't know why but I like jackets but rarely wear them because its most summer all the time here! They say its perfect weather but for what? Not having seasons is kind of crappy. I don't mind not having snow but a chill, some rain, breezes ... any of that would be great. We don't get much of any of that but some. A breeze can last an hour and not a season. Rain? maybe an hour of that but we need a solid month of rain to get us out of the drought, partially any way. Some leaves changing colors would also be kind of nice. Oh well, there is something to be said for consistency I suppose. But the water is the biggest issue that we need to get a handle on.Weekly Update:
So what did I do this week ... I went to our Annual Young Variety Charity dinner at Maggiano's at the Grove and it was delicious. I do like that particular one for some reason and they did the family dinner. What does that mean? It means two things actually ... 1) all the food is family style so you share it, pass it around and no one has their own ordered food. 2) at Maggiano's it means endless! So if you finish say a plate of artichoke dip, they bring another one! If you eat all the chicken piccata in lemon sauce, they bring another dish of it! It is quiet insane and I made the mistake of loading up on appetizers that I didn't get to enjoy as many of the main entree's ... but that is ok, it was all good and I was very stuffed!At the movies:
No surprises this weekend as "Moana" continues to sail with full winds to #1 for its 3rd week. Earning an extra 18.8 million and just shy of 150 mil cume. Still on track to break 200+ when it is all said and done. New at #2 is Office Christmas Party earning 17.5 mil and almost right on target. Slight dip to #3 is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" earning another 10.8 mill and JUST shy of 200 mil, should have it by tomorrow though. Holding ground at #4 is "Arrival" with another 5.6 mil as it creeps its way to 100 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "Doctor Strange" with 4.6 mil and probably will drop off after this weekend.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Miss Sloane went wide and comes in at #11 with only 1.9 mil. No surprises here and it is said and done.

"This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies or parrots... we have... dragons." - Jay Baruchel as Hiccup in "How to Train Your Dragon."
