Speaking of accidents.

I sometime watch those video shows on tv where people do stupid things and get hurt.

The one that make me cringe is the ones where they either break a bone or hit there head really hard on the ground.
I don't feel sorry for them at all. They were stupid to to something so dumb and dangerous, so it's there own fault they got hurt.
But just seeing them break an arm, and it's in an abnormal angle. Or to hear there head hit the ground,  -- just makes me cringe as if it's happened to me.

The most snow days I ever got off from school was back in the blizzard of 1979.
I can't really recall how many days off we got, but I  remember still being in school well into June, so must have been a week or two.

I don't know if these pics will work or not, but this gives you some idea of what it was like around here back then.

Now you'll notice that the snowfall itself wasn't that much, but it was the drifts. We had drifts of at least 3 feet in areas. Some roads were completely blocked. Cars in ditches. Even cars covered in a snow drift in the middle of the road. Then after that it got really cold, with wind chills I believe to be around 70 to 80 below zero.

I'm sure as kids most of liked the snow. Playing in it, making snow angels, having snow-ball fights, building forts and other things.

But as adults some of us hate it. I don't like driving in it, shoveling it or just being out in it. But I like looking at it and how it makes everything look so beautiful.

Looks like a frame from a film noir film.

Weather Channel is forcasting less than an inch of snow today. Won't be around long, will melt quickly with highs in the upper 30's, lower 40's forcasted for the rest of the week.

Bought these today from Best Buy.

Price matched it from the Target ad and got each one for $12.98 (That is after about 10 minutes of them checking to see if they would price match because the cashier was making a big deal about the words "Collector's Edition".

Basically I got one free plus some. Normal price at Best Buy was $29.99 each.

Don't know. I actually don't read newspapers that much anymore.
Basically watch the news for that type of thing.

On TV up here we always get the annual report of a trip to the "North Pole" and see footage of reindeer.

Then on Christmas Eve on the local news during the weather reports they show Santa on radar traveling across country. Lame stuff.

And every year we always get the annual "How to drive in winter weather conditions reports". Do people actually forget how to drive in snow??

Some are saying that's Kirk & Uhura, while others are saying it's Kirk & an Orion lady.

The lighting makes it too difficult to 'make out'.:drool:

Based on the release schedule on boxofficemojo, it looks like it'll have a good week, perhaps 2 to makes some good money.

Nothing really major is opening against it the week of release. Angels & Demons and Bruno open the week later. Don't know how those will do, perhaps good. But Trek should continue doing well for at least 2 weeks until Night at the Museum II: Escape from the Smithsonian and Terminator Salvation opens on the 22nd.

Now will Trek open in the first spot the first week of release? Depends on how well X-Men Origins: Wolverine does and holds the second week.

It'll have to do very well to at least break even with the reported 150 million budget, and then that doesn't include marketing costs.
Hopefully it'll be the jump-start the series needs or we'll be looking at another failure in terms of box office like Speed Racer was this past summer.

Wow, there were people (mostly women based on the pics) camping out for the Monday premiere.

They are saying a $60 million weekend is possible.

Bought these today

From Best Buy

I bought their exclusive edition that comes in a lunchbox

Then I went over the the Circuit City to check out their Store Closing sale.
Basically they raised just about all the prices up on the dvds. And the TV on DVD selection was terrible.
Anyways I bought these 2 titles

Here's the dvd ad for Jason Ritter in The Deal
