*************************************************************************************************

Still no guess on #3!!

I guess need another clue.

Really big, big clue.

"Orion's Belt"

Correct! Spiderwick Chronicles.

No guesses on mine, yet.

I'll give a clue or two.

#2

A kid's film based on a series of books. Dealing with an unseen world.

#3

A huge blockbuster. Look at the reflection in her eyes. It's a big clue and aspect of the film.

I don't think I ever told you guys my birthday before. So it wasn't any of your fault.

Thanks guys.

But the car breaking down screwed up all my plans. I was going to buy myself some dvds and other things and have a nice dinner. Guess I'll just have to do that later. I've replaced the starter relay and got a brand new $80 battery, but it still won't start. Looks like the starter went bad. On Monday I have to call up some repair shops and see how much that'll cost. right now I'm guessing about $300 plus about $65 to get the car towed to the repair shop. So about $400.

Crazy!!

That's even worse than the 70's oil embargo. At least back then they had gas, all you had to do was go to several stations to get your car filled up.

Gas actually went down here to below $4 to $3.95.

With my car broken down, I'll save on gas this week. Replaced the starter relay, didn't fix it. So it's either the battery, which I'm going to get load tested asap, or it's the starter.

Well at least they didn't have a bunch of floating heads on the cover.:lol::D

This Friday is my birthday.

I'll just buy myself some stuff and get something good for dinner. Like I always do.

Looks like Coco-Cola is down-sizing their multi-packs of 12 oz. cans.

I just got the new Jewel Food store ad (Albertson's) and they are advertising the new 20 pack of Coca-Cola cans for 2/$10.98.

:angry:

Oh by the way Larry is wrong in regards to the Mach 5 getting destroyed. Actually it's the Mach 6 that gets destroyed early on in the film. Then he races in the rally in the Mach 5. He can't race in the Mach 5 in the final race because it doesn't meet the specs for cars that race in that race (something about wheel base).

That's why they re-build the Mach 6 and race it in the final race.
