so yesterday i posted my L & L's and while i was posting a photo via flickr i clicked on it and pppprffft my post was gone, just like that.  so instead of re-doing it i decided to exit out of vox and focused on other things.  i'm not sure why vox is having problems but frankly i am getting tired of it.  augh!

in other news, in case you haven't noticed by my previous posts, i watched the dark knight movie on saturday night with my bros, sis and hubby.  the movie was excellent.  we went to the fox theater in westwood village and of course we had to wait in line, well my bro waited in line while we ate and took turns.  the seats were great and the theatre was awesome. 

heath leadger did a great job with the joker character and was trully AMAZING!  and no i'm not saying that because he's dead either!  i smiled throughout the whole flick and could not keep still in my seat.  as soon as the joker spoke his first words everyone erupted in laughter and clapped.  i have to admit i did too but after a while i was getting irked because i wanted to marinate in his every word.  there was no way i was going to miss a word but unfortunately i did (good excuse to see it again).  ledger really got into character and played the part even better than i expected.  BRILLIANT!!!  the costume changes were unbelieveable and all i can say it that i cannot wait for halloween!

the action seats blew me away.  christian bale was great as usual and all i kept thinking was the character he played on american psycho.  remember the scene where he is having sex with the hookers and he keeps looking at himself in the mirror?  LOL!  the stuff he said was hilarious.  anyway, this is a must see and will i be seeing this flick again?  F yeah!  duh.  and no, i don't believe in harvey dent!!!  although he was excellent. 

tonight hubby, dre, paulie and i are going to watch steely dan in concert at nokia live.  i cannot wait!

Come on people, can we please get it together?

Christian Bale arrested!

IT SHATTERS AT LEAST 10 RECORDS! 'Dark Knight' Played to $43M Sunday; $158.3M Crushes Weekend B.O. Record And Should Break Best Week Record, Too

MONDAY AM: Bigger... Bigger... BIGGEST! The Dark Knight's weekend tally was more than first thought -- a record-setting $158.3M, according to Warner Bros. That comfortably beats Spider-Man 3's $151.1M for best-ever 3-day non-holiday weekend. The latest Batman installment's Sunday take of $43M was down only -8% compared to Saturday's and set the best-ever Sunday total for its 9th record. It's 10th record will beat the all-time first week tally.

SUNDAY 8PM UPDATE: I've just been told by unofficial sources that Warner Bros' The Dark Knight is playing to packed Sunday performances for over $40M and maybe as high as $43M. That would mean a 9th record since Spider-Man 3's Sunday take in 2007 was a best ever $39.9M. It's also now abundantly clear that the Warner Bros caped crusader will crush the old 3-day weekend non-holiday record set by Spidey 3 last year. So rival studios were wrong to question whether Warner Bros' Sunday numbers were too aggressive! Also, Dark Knight should break its 9th record by beating the all-time weekly tally. Meanwhile, in its first six days, DK will have grossed more than the entire run of Batman Begins. See my previous, 'Dark Knight' Breaks Eight Film Records.

We saw it on Saturday night and W-O-W, I cannot wait to watch it again.  Post to follow...

This book is so sad and depressing...I tell myself I have to stop reading it because it makes me so sad but it's reality...

Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi amid poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those around him; at six he was a "drunkard," hanging about in taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, and self-pitying, he was surrounded on one side by whites who were either indifferent to him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resented anyone trying to rise above the common lot.

Black Boy is Richard Wright's powerful account of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. It is at once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment—a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering.

so i tried sleeping in late this morning since i have today off but couldn't.  hubby decided he could not stay in bed any longer so he took roxy for a walk and watered the lawn while i ignored all the noises and got some more zzz's.  i wish i could have slept longer..up at 8ish...ugh.

i had lunch at mom's house while i waited to pick hubby up at the doc's office.  mom and i watched her fave spanish gossip show, we had a blast making jokes and poking fun at other peeps expense.  it was really nice hanging out with her in her home.  i don't go very often (i have my reasons that i would rather not talk about right now).  i could see how happy she was that i surprised her and stayed a while.  i have to admit, it felt good.

hubby was ready to have a late lunch when i picked him up.  we went to mimi's in los feliz and got stuck in traffic, what's new?  we hung out at home for the rest of the evening.  after some zzz's and me going stir crazy i decided to

read, blog, watch tv, called my bff but he's MIA.  now what?  my bros are watching dark knight again!  tomorrow will be the 3rd time they see it. we're going with them to westwood and yes tickets have already been purchased.

gosh i figured i would be happy to be home relaxing but since i'm so used to hanging out with friends on friday nights i think i am having withdrawals...bwahahahaha.

until tomorrow, good night my friends.
