More cool weather! Now this is the winter we should have or even spring! This whole week has been really nice, light jacket weather. The days have ranged in the low 70's, maybe high 60's but the nights are in the 50's. So to me, it has been really nice. I wish we had some rain as we are bone dry but the over cast has been good. Its really good walking around weather too as I did on Wednesday night at Disneyland. Went to the park and met up with some co-workers from Tampa, Fl. Had a really nice dinner at Disney's California Adventure at Wine Country Trattoria. I will say the portion sizes were a bit too small but the food was really good. I just don't think they qualify to serve basic Italian foods (spaghetti, lasagna, salad) at prices of like kobe beef. Or the portion sizes should be at minimum 4 times what they give you. Good food but not affordable food.
Weekly Update:This past Saturday I attended an interesting food tasting for an upcoming restaurant in Little Tokyo. The food was amazing and tried stuff I have never tried before. Not a fan of raw fish but tried the crudo and it was OK. I think the texture is what throws me. But aside from that, everything else was just amazing and can not wait to try other things there. This was a very unique and specialized menu for this event. I am not a drinker but if I was, I probably would have gone crazy with all the sake options they had ... so many bottles and that is not even what will eventually be on tap! We also invited a few people and they also brought some people and got some pics with them.
*Tomohisa Yamashita - big name in Japan TV and cinema, awesome guy!
*Adam Tsekhman - currently on "Legends of Tomorrow" and great guy!
At the movies:
A new king is at the top but nothing surprising either. Taking the #1 spot is Deadpool 2 with a nice 125 million and right on industry expectations. Solid word-of-mouth and should easily glide to a 300+ domestic cume. Slight drop down to #2 in its 4th week is "Avengers: Infinity War" earning another 28.7 mil as it is just shy of 600 mil. Should be able to get that by end of this week. This gives Marvel the 1 and 2 spots as expected. New at #3 is Book Club with 12.5 mil and very close to expectations, actually higher than projected but not by much. Dropping down to #4 is "Life of the Party" with 7.7 mil and I think this party is just about over. Rounding off the top 5 is "Breaking In" with 6.5 mil and it couldn't even break out.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this morning as Show Dogs comes in at #6 with only 6 mil to open. Right on target for expectations and what we kind of expect from this side studio.
