Notes for the day

Finally went to the movies today. It was a nice get away from all the smoke and ash. It's seriously nasty outside right now. The one very small upside is that because of the haze the ash and smoke are causing, it's not as warm as it would have been. Can't wait to get out of the height of fire season.

On to the movie:

I may have squeaked quite loudly when the Star Trek preview came on. How am I supposed to wait until May??? It looks pretty damn cool.

As for the movie itself, it was a typical action movie. It reminded me more of the Bourne movies than a lot of the other Bond films though. There was one sequence that really reminded me of a scene straight out of Bourne Ultimatum. Don't get me wrong, it was still fun, but definitely not high art.

In related news, it should really be illegal for Daniel Craig to look that damn hot. Holy MOLEY! Dark polo shirt, black jacket and white pants? YES PLEASE!!! Add the tuxedo scenes, shirtless scenes and Brit accent? I may need to go ice down for awhile.

Interesting article about the success of NCIS

The L.A. Times has an article about the 'unexpected and unexplainable' success of NCIS. Somehow they fail to mention Michael Weatherly's ass or Abby's pigtails anywhere in the article. Hmph.

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be? So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press Play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the Next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
7. Don't skip songs.
