I love Southern California. I went running at 6:00AM and wasn't cold. I normally have to wear long pants & a sweatshirt to run in Washington, but it's a nice 60F, quite comfortable. :)

Hmmm New England and the Giants in the Superbowl And on February 10th! Before we know it, they will be playing the superbowl after March Madness.

Has anyone seen "Cloverfield" yet at the cinema? I've read a few reviews from people that have seen it, and almost non of it is favorable.

Too bad on Cloverfield. Not surprised if it didn't meet expectations. Great trailer doesn't mean great movie.

A whole bunch of my friends went to see Cloverfield, i couldn't go because we were having our carpets cleaned. After the movie they all texted me saying the movie sucked, although one of them liked it. In Fort Wayne my sister tells me there is a $1 theater.......that's the only way I would see it.

Anyway, thanks mathogre.

And after pushing F12 on the Mac, i am aware that its SIXTEEN degrees out. There is supposed to be a HUGE winter storm. If it get's bad there is no way i'm going to school, but our classes are NEVER closed, they should be though. Today I drove by and saw a school bus tipped over in a ditch! Everyone was alive though, only a couple of highschools with minor injuries were taken away. But still, it was horrible this morning, Lowell Schools have never been closed once this year, all of the surrounding schools have been. It's quite irritating, if they want us to have school every day of the freaking year then they can come out and plow the roads every day because lowell is SUPPOSED to plow our roads, but they don't. EVER. I got stuck this morning for about half an hour. They need to be realistic, i mean sure it might mess up our exams and stuff to have a snow day, but people are getting HURT. Anyways, happy MLK day everyone!

It really is too bad. All the "hush-hush" secrecy over this film, and then the end result could come back to bite the makers on their collective rears. I was going to go see it today, but I've been told to save my money, because the movie sucks like a vacuum cleaner on steroids... which they say is not a good thing with all the motion sickness that the movie causes.

Hey everyone, how are things? Man that really stinks about all the bad reviews on Cloverfield, I was kinda wanting to see it. I will probably go see it anyways since I usually don't care what anyone else thinks about a movie, it's all personal preference.

Good evening!

It looks as if I'll have connectivity with a computer this week while away. Yes!

I'm here in Florida, ready for a set of meetings that begins tomorrow. This morning I left snowy Virginia with a temperature of roughly 10F/-12C. I flew into Atlanta and left in the middle of the afternoon, under the balmy temperature of 32F/0C. I'm now in Melbourne, Florida. When I arrived, it was 70F/21C. If you look at the pics in the Florida gallery (gallery link, Florida section), you might understand if I say I was blown away with the hotel room. It's nearly 8PM and I have the sliding glass doors open in the living room and the bedroom, and the ocean fairly roars.

I have some things I need to do for tomorrow, so I'll go for now and maybe visit a little later tonight. Hope all of you are well. Later!

Well a lovely day here. Just back from the gym where I worked out for an hour and a half.... sweated about as much as someone c an without dying of dehydration. Rehydrating now before a shower. Must be 20 degrees C (70 degrees F) now but its only morning still. Considering its summer the last few days have been quite cool.

Hello friends!

Hope everyone's doing great! I was off of work today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. It was nice to sleep in! I was mostly home doing nothing. :)
