Song Lyric of the Day:
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you / The odds will betray you / And I will replace you

After climbing the walls waiting to see it for the last two weeks, I finally saw the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, tonight with my friends Kelley and Camille. The verdict? The movie rocks. And Daniel Craig? Wow. The man is hot beyond belief, a man’s man, and all stylish cool. Oh, and he can act, too. In short, a perfect choice to reinvent/reset the long-stagnated Bond series.
The best reaction came from Kelley as the opening credits came to a close. As Daniel Craig’s face filled the screen, Kelley, wary from the start about him stepping in as Bond, slapped her thigh and said, “Dammit, he’s hot!” After I said “Told ya so,” she quickly added, “But I still love Pierce!” Of course, all three of us swooned at the sight of Mr. Craig in those now-famous blue swim trunks. I have to add, though, that fully clothed the man is just as stunning — he was made to wear designer clothes. And now back to planet Earth…
After the movie, we hit Abuelo’s Mexican Embassy for a movie post-mortem and late dinner. Stuffing myself like a piggy at a trough, I had a fun night out with some girlfriends and am now ready for bed. Because in addition to being a piggy, I’m old.
