Brrrr it's cold outside?

Frost warning?

Last Monday Southern California received a "frost warning" and to bring in your pets and any plants that may be receptible to cold.  I guess is when expected temperatures will be below 40 degrees but I don't know, I feel like we have had temps in the 30's before?  Maybe it just felt like it was that low but in reality it was at 40 degrees even perhaps?  Maybe part of that equation does not include wind chills and just the raw temperature itself?  I don't know how these things work but in general it was cold all week during the day when you stood outside but any where in the direct sunlight it was pretty dang toasty (for me).  But as always, I prefer the cold over heat because it's easier to warm up than to cool down (or at least way cheaper!).

Weekly Update:

Do you ever get this emails (and I'm sure you do) of warning you that your Netflix or Hulu accounts will be terminated or have been hacked.  Or even Amazon Prime, things of that nature... I mean, OH NO!  My accounts!  But then you wait and think... hey, I don't have an Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime account to begin with!  These things really annoy me and do they think people will just click the link (which I am guessing many end up doing that happen to have one or all of those accounts).  Moral of this story... never click a link and if you think something is wrong with your account, call them directly from their own website info.  It really is that simple.  Or take a step back, look at the email, see the source and other things that are always so wrong on there, it is nothing but fake.  Do not jump the gun on it, pause and read the details.

At the movies:

New at #1 is Mean Girls with a post-holiday opening of 28 million.  Not a bad number for this time of year, mixed reviews on the film as well so we'll see how it does in the coming weeks.  Also new at #2 is Beekeeper with 16.8 mil and kind of standard for this kind of film.  Drop down to #3 is Wonka with 8.4 mil as it gradually continues to potentially hit 200 mil.  Jumping up a spot to #4 is Anyone But You with 6.9 mil and still doing well at the box office.  Rounding off the top 5 and dropping down a notch is Migration with 6.2 mil and another that could still reach 100 mil.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as The Book of Clarence comes in at #9 with only 2.6 mil to open on a pretty standard wide-release pattern, not good numbers.
