Let It Rain!!

Yesterday was Thunderstorm Day here in Rochester. I ended up with a little over 3 inches of rain in my gauge this morning. We had downpours yesterday morning with some nasty thunder, then did the whole thing again last night around 11:30 - strong winds and Tornado watches all over the place. It was some much needed rain up here - sorry to hear it was 100+ degrees in Des Moines area and down south from here. We had about an hour of sunshine when the temperature rose up to 89 real fast, but then dropped again for the next wave of rain.

With all the rain, Golf was cancelled last night. Tomorrow's looking perfect for our golf tournament though. Partly Cloudy with highs near 78 degrees! YEAH!!! Golfing all morning and afternoon tomorrow makes today feel like a Friday at work! Another Bonus!

Speaking of Golf - the British Open has begun - scores are under par (unlike the US Open a couple of weeks ago) so far. Any predictions? Will Tiger get back on track? Will Phil pull out his driver on the 72nd hole and slice it into the Hospitality Tent (again!!!)

I was quickly flipping through the channels and saw this America's Got Talent show. What the heck?!?!? First off, it's a total attempt to become the next American Idol: 3 Judges (one is washed up female with very little talent for speaking - one is English... remind you of anyone?), they have an overpaid MC (Regis in this case) that nobody really knows what his role is, they do a quick background on these "whackos".... I admit, I only watched the snapping guy before I went back to the Twins Game, but that show is weird. It will have it's 10 minutes of fame I'm sure but not much after that. David Hasselhoff is still funny to see on TV. At least he's not crying as he was the last time we saw him at the American Idol finals!

Lady in the Water opens this weekend. I should go see that with Hazel sometime. I really like M. Night Shamalangadingdong's movies, even if I was disappointed with The Village. He was on The Daily Show this week and it was a pretty funny interview. This is his first movie that was not distributed by Disney so it'll be better - I guarantee that! Disney should stick to cartoons.... and more of the Apple Dumpling Gang. I loved those movies as a kid!

And if you have 30 or so minutes to spare.... there's a blogpage that is starting to get recognized around the web. Before you get into it, realize that it's a pretty entertaining read, but per most of the web-talk, it's a viral campaign for something... nobody is just sure what for yet. That Girl Emily has a blog set up to destroy her husband's reputation since he cheated on her with her best friend. It's pretty crappy to navigate through in order from older posts to newer... but here is the first one to try and get you started, and I also have the links for the rest of them if you're really interested:

first post , second post, third post, fourth post, fifth post, sixth post, seventh post, eighth post, ninth post, tenth post, eleventh post, twelfth post, thirteenth post, fourteenth post, fifteenth post, sixteenth post, seventeenth post, eighteenth post, nineteenth post, twentieth post, twenty-first post. We'll keep an eye on our girl Emily to see what she's really promoting. Any guesses? From what I've read they think it's either for a new show on Court TV about Divorce, or for a movie that hasn't been defined yet.

Song of the Day - With the recent rain up here, I think we need a good rain song.... I know Drew was hoping for Hilary Duff's Come Clean, but I have to go with Garbage and their first hit of I'm Only Happy When It Rains. The song that took them to stardom! I've loved them ever since!

Video of the Day - This is pretty sweet - Space Invaders is recreated using people and stop motion filming. One of the cooler (and time consuming) things I've seen in a while.

Webpage of the Day - A man changes his middle name to "None of the Above" and now wants to run for governor of Tennessee. How could this cause any trouble????
