Hot, hot, cold

This week has been a crazy up and down rollercoaster of weather!  Had some rain, it was cold, super window, then it got very warm for 2 to 3 days straight in the 80's.  But it felt like it was even hotter and was so tempted to turn on the AC but told myself, don't need it!  BUT, then at the end of the week the temps dropped nearly 20 degrees again!  I'm not sure what next week is going to be like but this weather is so dramatic lately going all the way up, dropping all the way down.  Some rain, dry as ever... what is going on around here??  I wonder what this means for this Summer... I fear it will be extremely hotter this year than before but I hope I am wrong.  Just a crazy time we live in with all the climate challenges going on and over half the planet not believing in it when it is literally slapping them in the face... wake the frak up people!

Weekly Update:
I don't understand Krazy Glue (aka super glue) after you use it once.  It always seems I get one use out of an entire tube because once I break the seal and open it, use it, then close it to hopefully use it again, it hardens up to be never used again!  If it be any time over a month from when you first use it, feels like the tube of the remaining glue is no longer there anymore!  Where did it go, or did the rest just harden up and that's it?  It never seems to fail though, I usually only get the one use out of an entire tube of Krazy Glue... I sometimes will by more generic super glue but same results!  If it's the liquid or the gel, they always seem to be one-use-wonders for me.  I don't get it...  yet my modeling glue for miniatures and stuff lasts for decades!!  Both the liquid and gel kind so what is the deal glue companies??

At the movies:
New at #1 is Civil War with a hefty 25.7 million to open. For indie studio A24, this is actually their biggest opening in their 12-year history as a studio.  Having a much broader, big budget film I guess does translate to a bigger box office.  Drop down to #2 is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire with 15.5 mil as it starts a slow climb to 200 mil, uncertain if it will make it there but it will get very close.  Holding at #3 is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire with 5.8 mil and now just inches away from 100 mil!  It should get there in a day or two but a bit of a struggle compared to the previous release.  Small jump up to #4 is Kung Fu Panda 4 with 5.5 mil as it also crawls its way to 200 mil, could still make it!  Rounding off the top 5 is Dune: Part Two after 7 weeks in the box office with 4.3 mil and actually close to 300 mil but also might fall shy of that benchmark.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
A couple this week... at #8 is The Long Game with 1.4 mil.  This is just over 1000 screens and a very poor per screen average at that.  This is likely just an indie studio's hope but, didn't work.  At #10 on about 800 screens is SUGA with 990k and even worse per-screen average and likely another hope and wish.
