Sometimes Work Can Be Fun
In my line of work, lets call it marketing (seeing that I cant really say what my company does on my blog...i know its weird)I tend to come across a wide range of interesting stuff. So while working on some "slow day" stuff I stumble across a little fellow I dubbed Wiener Dog......not very original but it works.

Does It Really Make Sense??
Well we've been having a lot of rain this week--thank you tropical wave and cold front (is it just me or doesn't this term just screams something sexual?). So whilst I enjoyed the rain (it sunny now), others are thanking God they made it through it. Earlier in the week it was broadcasted that this year's Digicel Rising Stars winner Camille Davis and other persons were rescued from the Bog Walk Gorge after being trapped there by the sudden rise of the Rio Cobre River (mind you they had only just reopened this section of roadway last month after it was badly damaged by the last hurricane we had).
I thought it would have been best to just close the gorge and save ourselves some well needed money. It is not the first time this same roadway has been damaged and after the job that Bougue(not sure if the spelling is right)did I think it might hold up a lot better than in recent years. However, there will always be the issue of the Rio Cobre flooding its banks during heavy rainfall. Yes, people should be mindful that the roadway is practically right on the bank of said river and should stay clear anytime there is going to be heavy rains but we all know how people are...they are going to take that route any ways. So there will always be a number of lives in danger.
I mean come on people! This government needs to wake up, so what if its the shortest route to the Ochie side of things...are you saying that you'd prefer to have to drag dead bodies out of the river than improve an alternative route for the safety of this country's people? I'm sure the Gorge can be put to good use. I faintly remember our transport or energy minister saying that it would be a good idea to transform the Gorge into a water catchment area...hey why not the river is right beside it anyways.
But as can be expected they behave like non-thinking adults and do the same thing that they always do that area...fix it up only to watch it return to a huge mess after a down pour. Not to sound ungrateful or anything (thank you Bougue for doing it for free) but it just doesn't make sense to me.

Movie Thoughts
Well there are lots and lots o' movies to choose from. What to choose i wonder:
1. Eagle Eye- come on Shia! Anything with Shia in it is bound to be good. I really like the trailer. Really want to watch it.
2. Changeling- Just saw the trailer for this one.....meh! not that interesting really but hey its a movie and i need something to do...all work n no play...
3. Pride and Glory- ok so another Leo movie, missed seeing him one my screen. Not getting good reviews though, too cliche is it monsieur critics!! I guess i'll find out what they were talking bout sooner or later.
4. Seven Pounds- Ah Will, THIS ONE looks promising, I was not impressed with I am Legend in the least! Seems to be playing a bit close to the Pursuit of Happiness theme though but what can yo expect when its the same director. Ne who I do believe that I will not waste my money this time when i go out to watch this.
5. The Day the World Stood Still- seriously the name of this movie alone screams BORING AS HECK!!! I have no want or need to watch this at all. But who knows I might see something in it after I check out the trailer, not holding my breath though.
On to other things I found this pic while checking out Pushing Daisies, thought it was so cute and theatrical.

I so want to check it out now, the plot sound rather interesting (seems like im cut off from the tv world- with reason though)I just hope they dont kill the series until I've taken in a few episodes.
