Proof that there is justice in this world - Gigli earned only $3.8 million in its opening weekend, a movie that cost $54 million to make. It couldn't even beat Finding Nemo in its 10th week. Not saying Finding Nemo sucks (I haven't seen it), but hey, after all the hype and promotion surrounding Gigli, it's pretty sad that they couldn't do better in their opening weekend. I was starting to think movie producers could put out any piece of crap and make money, but it's kind of reassuring to know that they can't shove just anything they want down our throats and still turn a profit.

A question I have been pondering - would it be better to be mauled by a bear, or walk through a swarm of little tiny flies? Well, I've never been a victim of bear-maulage, but I did experience walking through a thick cloud of little flies this weekend and it was pretty bad. These guys were everywhere, it was disgusting. I felt like I was breathing them in by the hundreds, and they were flying in my mouth. Then I got in my car, and they all followed me in. I've never seen anything like that, is it me or is the insect population getting worse every year? Seriously though, a bear, you can shoot it. How do you kill millions of tiny bugs? You can spray them with insecticide, but there's so many of them that enough will survive, and they will inevitably reproduce faster than you can find new insecticides.

Random Observation - The first 4 letters of the words "Analog" and "Analysis" are "Anal". I noticed this because I looked at my Windows taskbar and a lot of the minimized windows are titled "Anal..." tee-hee
