Sometimes you have to do things just because you trust your friends. There isn’t enough time in the universe to do it all yourself

So Tink said I needed to make sure to claim my blog with Technorati, and Technorati said I have to post a message with the following link.

One more thing off the Blog-A-Do list

DANIEL CRAIG,

We love action movies – you know the kind you can lose yourself for an hour or two without straining your brain.

Ever since Sean Connery stopped being Bond, James Bond that is… I have not really enjoyed Bond movies…. at all.

So had been stalling each time TH mentioned going to see the new Casino Royale – well on Saturday we ran out of errands – (meaning I was out of excuses) in time to make the “matinee/cheap/1/2 price” show at our small local threater

Wow I am glad I did. The only even vaguely negative thought throughout the entire movie was a fleeting during the first few minutes of the movie – “MMG how can they possible make the rest of the movie as good as this sequence”

Well they did so Ladies and Gentleman, even though

• Roger Moore was a clown,
• Timothy Dalton was dreadful,
• Pierce Brosnan was, well, not believable, but with his looks and mannerisms a woman can forgive a lot – especially when you consider that fencing scene.
• Then there are the other guys whom I cannot even remember – maybe its post-traumatic stress amnesia – their Bonds were so bad, I have to block it from my conscious mind

For me, Bond will always be about believable action and THE LOOK.

It is the look that says, when serious, you are in a world of trouble

And when it has that smirky quirky smile, it says you are about to fall into a whole different kind of heartache – good and bad.

Sean Connery has it and no Bond since him could do quite so much with either the Dead Serious or Smirky Quirky Boyish Babe catching lopsided closemouthed grin.

That first few minutes will rival the plaza scene from Heat (another movie with guys who can do the “look” and firmly set the tone,

It is true

already planning to buy the DVD.

Okay just a reminder, yesterday I ‘splained that PSA is Possible Spew Alert –

Anyone who follows my posts “in the groups” is likely to know I am *not*
a fan of pretty much anything Microsoft.

It is not just annoying, but a huge waste of time that EVERYTIME I am forced to come into contact with OutLaw Depress or Internet Exploder – I must immediately run both Spybot & Symantec.

TH says that I have my own language. So he suggested the Who-What posts need to include the occasional explanation.

He strongly feels that most people do not understand I say things sometimes either to provoke thought or because it is meant to amuse – he sometimes likens my humor to the Sahara Desert.

So okay, from time to time, I will preface a post with PSA

This is not a Public Service Annoucement (well maybe it is since it meant to protect your keyboard in particular and your computer in general) but rather a suggestion you may want to swallow any liquids before reading further, because the message to come contains a

Wheat also understands what while many people won’t get my humor – if it has to be explained, well, you can see where this is going.

Time to venture to the Stupid Market in search of Thursday Grill Ingredients.

Peace of the Season

For some people New Year’s is the time of resolution and change.

For me, it has always been my birthday – and writing has always been how I choose to “get it out of my system” and move on to “what’s next”.

Sometimes I just want to think about the day, or watching a sunrise, or rant/vent about something that is bothering me.

It helps that I needed to get really familiar with WordPress nuances, so there is some motivation

It can get pretty silly around here, so best I explain about “Ventures”.

Ventures come in many forms, Big Ventures, Mini-Ventures, Capital Ventures and now

Blog-A-Ventures – I hope you will join me as I go Blog-A-Venturing and sharing thoughts that just don’t fit anywhere else.
