Do I look like the kind of person who cares?

So I watched Casino Royale this weekend. It was my first Bond movie ever. First off I think the guy that plays bond is a little lame and fake. I dont buy/like him at all. I mean the guy who PLAYS bond is super hot, I could go for him, but Bond...meh.

Second I knew that Bond drove some sweet Aston Martins etc and was looking forward to some great driving scenes. Besides literally driving around the corner, and one two second car wreck the only driving scene occurred in a Ford Mondeo. WTF

Third...where were the gadgets? The only gadgets he used were cell phones, tracking devices, and a defibrillator. LAME.

Fourth the story left a lot to be desired. I like movies where you are thinking the whole movie and trying to figure out the puzzle. With this movie you didnt really do that.

I probably wont ask to see any more bond movies, but i'd go along to another one and give it a second chance.

Blog Comments

I hate when you read big blogs like wwtdd or obama's blog and after the article instead of just commenting the first commenter claims his or her spot with "yes! 1st!" so everyone knows and then they can leave thier actual comment.

I think i'm going to start doing this on the blogs where I am one of the few commenters, even if i'm not first. Probably mostly on Joe's because I think i'm the only commenter there so its even more amusing to me.

Super Mario Galaxy

So for about a month now we've been playing super mario galaxy on the Wii. I try my best at each level, get frustrated, and hand over the controller and the level is beaten.

For any of you that dont have this game or a wii, its a two player game, and while the second player doesn't control mario, they play a very important role in holding off bad guys and collecting star bits. So When I play the second player I feel like I can take some amount of credit in beating the level.

There are 120 level exits each resulting in a star, and 120 stars beats the game. Or so I was told.

Well after 90 stars we were given the opportunity to play the final level. The first half of the level took a few tries, but the bad guy was beaten on the first try!

Roll Credits.

So we've beaten the game, saved the princess, and now returned to the original map to get the final 30 stars. There are two weird things about this, 1. all the characters still tell us to help save the princes...how did she get caught again? We totally saved her. 2. there are new levels that we couldn't access before, so i guess you have to beat the game twice in order to get all 120 stars.

Oh also, the end of the game tries to be all deep. You beat the bad guy, his star implodes and with it sucks in the rest of existance, but they explain that every time a star dies new stars are born carrying with it parts of everything before and then dumps you out in a higher resolution world that resembles earth. So this game is attempting to be both deep and scientifically accurate at the same time. interesting.

F- You Parking Signs and new Nats Stadium

So I read online maybe a week ago that there were going to be new parking restrictions for the area around the new Nationals Stadium.

I figured that not only would they wait till baseball season to impliment it, but also it would only be in effect on game day.

WRONG.

Last night I got to the area, and tried to park. To my dismay all the signs were new. One side of the street was resident parking only until midnight, and the other side was two hour parking till midnight.

I found 10 spots (i counted) that are 9:30-6:30 like a million blocks away. All the rest are 7Am-midnight.

Seriously? I basically can no longer get there before 10 if i want to try for half the street, and if i cant find parking there i guess i just have to wait till midnight to go to the other side of the street. F- that. I'm staying home.

mint brownie phenomenon

So the cover of cooking light this month has some amazing looking mint brownies on it. I promptly cut out the recipe and stuck it in my purse to make.

Later, chatting with laurie in MN I found out she had seen them too, and we decided to wait and make them together when she came to DC. Then I got an email from Leslie that she also had cut it out and already made them and they are fabulous.

This same thing happened a minimum of 10 more times. I dont know what it is about mint brownies, but I'd say its safe to say this is probably the highest selling cooking light ever!

So tonight Laurie and I are making them. I am beyond excited. So if you want to try them you can try some of mine :) Just let me know.

Caps VS Bruins

Tim Thomas Saves Nothing!

You might recall from last year I blogged about some crazy bruins fans cheering things like "tim thomas saves lives"....Well this year they had the most pathetic loss ever to the caps.

I guess there is a promotion where if the Caps get 6 Goals everyone in attendance can get a free lb of wings at austin grill. I saw that sign and laughed, its pretty rare for a hockey game to score that high. almost impossible i said.

Moments later I wished I had kept my mouth shut. With a final score of 10-2 We sure got our free wings.

Also there is this segment during the second intermission called "up close with the caps" where they follow some players off the ice to some day time activity. This time 4 of them took a segway tour (like my parents did when they visited). They started to get cocky, and green decided to weave around some planters...and hit one dead on and fell over. it was hilarious. They replayed it like 5 times and then flash to ugly, but hat trick earning ovetchkin laughing hard.

Despite the loss for my hometown boys it was a good game.

Stupid Rite Aid

Sunday night we were meeting some of my college friends at ben's chili bowl for dinner, but arrived a little early and decided to kill some time by going to rite aid.

I picked up some hair clips and got in line where we kinda hugged a bit, but nothing inappropriate by any means. Its my turn and the guy at the registrar tells us to get a room!

Flash back a couple months and this was the same rite aid that had kicked out a gay couple for hugging in their store resulting in a planned "hug-in".

Turns out they are equal opportunity jerks. At least Peter and I didn't get kicked out though.
