16 reasons why I love the new James Bond movie..

So I went to go see the new james Bond movie a few days ago with a group of people from work....essentially 4 guys and me. lol As if I wasn't already a big enough Bond fan, here are the 15 reasons why I absolutely loved Casino Royale...

1) The Opening sequence is in Black and White....::squeal::

2) The song and opening credits....awesome mix of new with an old school touch of what the songs used to be....even if there were no dancing naked women to be found...the animation was amazing.

3) I was sitting next to the best people ever. lol Both times

4) Story.....kinda realiztic enough where it's still James Bond-ified but you could still believe it would happen

5) Daniel Craig.....Awesomely hot in short shorts

6)Aston Martin......::drool::

7)Actually made the transition from Baacarat to Poker work

8) Daniel Craig shows flashes of sheer Connery in his acting....he's got the swagger..

9) Did I mention the bad guy cried blood tears?

10) It rewarded you for reading the books....super big yea!

11) Even the bond girls were good this time around

12) the fact that while watching the opening credits I freaked out that Giancarlo Gianinni was in the movie.....Who else would get that excited....Honestly..

13) have I mentioned Daniel Craig?

14) and his treasure trail?

15) and the fact that he is naked in the movie?

16) Does there really need to be any other reason?

Ok...the last one isn't really a reason....but seriously....one of the best movies I've seen in a long time..and definately the best bond movie in a long time....Go see this movie..now...right now..

Now..

Badass Defused

A) There are certain moments in every girls life where we get to have a cool badass line.

B) At said moment we should be allowed to bask in that glory.

C) I had one of those moment a few nights ago

D) and then promptly fell on my face

How did this all happen? Well one night at work one of my co-workers said to me "If you weren't dating someone I would take you on." Not out...mind you...on. For the first time in my life I got to do the badass thing and look all sultry and go.. "You couldn't handle me." Ok...so not terribly badass but it was kinda cool. Not that I needed to point out to him that if I were single when I had started at B&N I probably would have pursued the one super hot co-worker I have. lol Yeah....I'm lamzz0rz. Sad.....I can't even spell that in l33t. lol Grrrr... Anyway back to the story.....After my moment in glory I proptly walked up the stairs to go to the break room....at which point I hit the top step with my foot and fall FLAT ON MY FACE.

Yes....laugh....please laugh.....my moment in the sun snatched away by the fact that I'm so clumsy i trip over my own two feet.

I think maybe I should just stick to what I'm good at from now on......

Takin it old school.....

I'm probably dating myself but I grew up watching wrestling. And not just ANY wrestling...I grew up in the hayday of the best wrestling ever...the 80's. I grew up watching Ricky Steamboat and Gorilla Monsoon and Bob Orton and the Undertaker when he was still young and Ric Flair when it was still concievable that he was the nature boy. My walls were covered with posters of the Iron Shiek and Sgt. Slaughter and Jake the Snake and Andre the Giant.

These guys told me to look both ways while crossing the street and take my vitamins and be nice to other people. Fuck...Sgt. Slaughter was a freakin GIJOE!

But of course as anyone who grew up in the 80's knows...there were two men who completely ruled WWE merchadising....Hulk Hogan (when he wasn't a bright scary orange and just mearly kinda tanned)... and the legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper. Say what you will about wrestling but I'll bet you talk to anyone who grew up in that time frame and those are the two names that get repeated over and over. These two men were the faces of wrestling...and polar opposides as well. Where Hulk was the epitome of good behavior and telling kids to eat their veggies, piper was always causeing trouble. Brash....loudmouthed....and controversial....he was what kids who were trying to look past the goody-two exterior of Hogan wanted in their wrestler...a man who could talk shit and could back it up.

I won't lie....I was a Hulkamaniac. I had Hulk sheets, Hulk slippers (you guys know the ones...the ones with the hard pastic heads that you could beat someone to death with), Hulk dolls, Hulk puzzles and even a Hulk lunchbox...BUT....and to this day I will still say this to anyone...I was a Piper fan. Hulk was cool...but Piper was AWESOME. A badass who could back his words with a fight that didn't consist of the same three moves each time. I'm writing this only cause I just got the Piper box set today and even just holding it in the store I got a little misty eyed at the countess hours I spent watching Piper fight and boxtops cut out just to get that plastic cheap-ass Piper memorabilia from the cereal box.

I'm not saying much just this.....Hogan was cool....but Piper was the man....

I do love them Rangers!

Ok....so...I'm writing this extreamly hyper so I pardon two things: My bad spelling and grammer and my staccato sentances.. that being said I will have to say that I've had the BEST time tonight. i just got home from a hockey game. ok this may not seem like a lot BUT it was my very first game at MSG...hell it was my very first non flyers game. And especially one where I'm not rooting for the opposing team.

ok I'm going way to fast I have a headache now..I'll start from the begining.

Danielle...my Bookseller/cash office mafia sister and all around amazing human being invited me to go see a rangers game tonight. The rangers aren't my absolute favorite team..they are maybe my third or fourth favorite team in the league..but I do love them. So of course I said yes..I mean come on...taking the train to NY, going to a completely new stadium and getting to actually root for a team I love and support...this was gonna be great. Then she adds the punch...they were gonna play the NJ Devils. For those of you that dont know....I HATE the devil's with a passion unbridled. This isn't exactly true....I adore MOST of the guys on the team...Brian Gianta, Patrick Elias and one or two more guys....but I hate HATE hate hate hate hate hate Martin Brodour. Hate him....oh my god I hate the man. I hate him as a player.....and tonight I got to see just how much. But I'm getting ahead of myself again.

So...I picked up Danielle from work and we went back to her house where we made what can only be called the greatest fritatta known to man. lol Peppers and eggs and potatoes and onions....oh yum! on top of sourdough bread. I pull out the jersey I'm gonna wear tonight....the leaf's Brian Leetch jersey. Why not a rangers jersey? Cause I still gotta show love to my boys man! I figured this was a great comprimise...I still got to wear the jersey of my faovrite team...and it still had one of the best loved men who played for the rangers on it.

So anyway....We hop in the car..sandwiches in tow to eat on the train. get to the train station and have to go all the way back because we forgot the tickets...hop back in the car...go back home grab them then go all the way back..and yea! our spot was still empty..run out with maybe 5 minutes to spare and realize that the parking machine doesn't take coins

Ok....will someone explain to me why the princeton junction parking machine only takes dollars?

But anyway...make it to the station and get on the train. I love train rides. It was so much fun...and MUCH easier than driving into the city. Get to the game where the seats were amazing...just about center ice with a perfect view of everyone. amazing. The crowd was amazing, everything was just amazing. I've never been to an NHL game where there was so much love and fun. Maybe cause I've always rooted for the opposing team but still. Everyone just laughed and joked with each other...it was awesome. I left with a shit-load of merchandise and not only that.....BUT THE RANGERS BEAT THE DEVILS!!! Best 5 minutes of my life was the start of the 3rd period when the rangers scored three...count em' three unanswered goals to take the lead. And Brodour got a pentaly for Delay of game...cause he's a fucking cheater! And now I don't have to sneak into work tommorow fearing my bosses laughter. hehe Me and Danielle can hold our heads up high. Yea!! hehe...I just had just the best time tonight. wow I'm starting to drag ass now but it was completely worth it. hehe I'm gonan go crash now! peace out! hehe

Life, the universe and other shit I've learned along the way..

It's been such a long week. But I'm excited...I have off tommrow and me and Danielle are going to see the Rangers at MSG. It's nice...and definately a well deserved and much needed rest. I have found myself two sister soulmates, Danielle and Ryan. I have so much fun with each of them and when we're all together...well...let's just say the Bespecticled Bookseller Mafia comes out. lol

I can't even begin to tell anyone just how happy I've been ever since I moved out. not that my parents are bad by any stretch of the imagination...just they were extreamly strict. It's nice to be able to hang out with friends and not have to worry about being home by 11 or having to ask for permission only to be told no. I mean it's so nice to pick up and go out with friends and spend all night out. it's nice to be able to say yes when asked if you wanna go and hang out at friday's after work instead of putting your head down and having to mumble that you can't becuase you're parents will flip if you do. Hell...it's nice to be able to color my hair.

I have also learned to embrace my inner hot dork. not that i'm really that hot...but I am really dorky. Eh...I'll take what I can. actually what I've become more comfortable with is that I can in fact be kinda cute and yes in fact guys do indeed find me attractive. And no...just becasue I find guys attractive doesn't mean that they'll run towards the hills in fear. And reguardless of what anyone says I'm not being self-depricating. It's just one of those things that if enough people tell you something you actually start to believe it. It's hard to break the record in your head of your parents telling you how unattractive you are.

Ah fuck this is becoming melodramatic and kinda emo (Best shirt I've ever seen by the way: "I wish my grass was emo this way it would cut itself"... I love it) let me stop while I'm behind.

But all in all life is pretty good. I have an amazing fiance, a great place to call home, I've got people who call me to hang out outside of work...amazing friends who I love and I have a life. An actual life. I have friends who will poke fun at the guys at work who I have crushes on (drunken and non-drunken rants included), friends who actually turn me girlier without comprimising my firm non-bitchy law, and a place to work where, other than one person, I absolutely adore everyone and generally go home happy.

life..is good. At least until next week.
