Bolt

My friend and I took all the kids to see Bolt in 3D and once again Disney made the film entertaining for adults as well! The detail that went into making this movie is amazing - the characters looked as close to the real thing as you could get.

What a great way to spend a couple of hours especially if you have some little ones

7 out of 10 stars on my scale

Emma and I in Retro

This little baby is a handful!  Just look at that face and it say’s it all.  She’s independent and calls all the shots.  Everything has to be on her terms and she will cooperate when she is ready.

She reminds me of someone whom I cannot mention at this moment!


Bond Quest

007

In honor of the the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace ( which I’m going to see tomorrow ) I’ve decided to watch every Bond film starting with the very first Bond film from 1962 titled Dr. No.

I still remember the first Bond film I ever saw back in 1981 For Your Eyes Only with Roger Moore.  I loved it and since that day I’ve seen each Bond film that came out.  The amazing thing is that I have not seen a Bond film with Sean Connery!

As of this post my favorite Bond character is Pierce Brosnan.  I’m wondering if Connery is going to take over once I see those first few films.


The Google Flu

November 13, 2008

What a cool site I stumbled upon while having my morning espresso!  Google Flu Trends tracks possible flu activity by what people are searching.  

On the site they recommend a flu shot - I’m not sure I’m going down that road as I’ve never had one before and besides I never really get anything worse than a cold.

A Most Wanted Man by John LeCarre

This was the first book I’ve read by LeCarre and I’m not that impressed.  I was expecting a better ending and ended up disappointed.

5 out of 10 stars.

President Elect Barack Obama

President Elect Barack Obama

America has spoken and Barack Obama has defeated John McCain decisively.

I can honestly say I hope the man becomes the best President the country has ever seen.  I’ve always wanted to witness a miracle and this would sure be one!  It certainly will be interesting to see what happens over the next four years with the economy, Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and health care!  

The man has some interesting ideas which I learned from his book The Audacity of Hope.  I highly recommend this book if your interested in knowing who Barack is and what he believes in.

I’m behind him 100% and hope for the best.
