Bond

James Bond is supposed to be handsome.

This man is not handsome.

This man set the bar too high.

I will not see any new James Bond flick that doesn’t have a handsome person playing James Bond. It just doesn’t work for me.

It’s not that I want to see movies that only have handsome men in them. It’s just that James Bond is supposed to be handsome, and a non-handsome dude will never be able to convince me that he is James Bond.

That’s all there is to it.

Since writing the above I can vouch that Daniel Craig does not make a very convincing James Bond, and that the new movie he is in leaves a lot to be desired. Oh well, I suppose that is what I get for going against my resolve in an effort to temporarily escape my incredibly stressful circumstances.

I just registered...

…for my antepenultimate class!

That’s a good feeling.

There’s nothing quite like waking up in the morning only to discover that you’ve slept on top of one of these and managed to grind it into the sheets you just washed yesterday.

I sometimes wonder...

Caroline: Scrubs apparently gives her dog a treat just for going to the bathroom.

Becks: Wow. I can’t believe she gives her a dog a treat for normal bodily functions.

Caroline: Exactly! Her vet told her that her dog is overweight, and no wonder! She always gets treats.

Becks: Haha, same problem with Americans. They are all overweight because they get too many treats.

Caroline: Right. You peed, here’s a burger!

Becks: Or in my case - It’s Thursday, time for ice cream. It’s Friday, time for ice cream. It’s Saturday, time for ice cream….

Caroline: lol, I’m having to stay away from stupid Amy’s.

Becks: It’s tough. I’ve discovered HEB Creamy Creations Chocolate Chip ice cream, and damn, it’s good. And cheap.

Caroline: Oh no!

Becks: Yeah, very bad

Caroline: That sounds amazing

Becks: I’ve pretty much learned that if I even walk into the ice cream isle at the store I will get ice cream, so I have to stay away from the isle.

::Pause::

Becks: aisle. sheesh. But an Ice Cream Isle would be pretty cool. The Isle of Ice Cream.

Caroline: Indeed! I’m imagining it right now….

Becks: I see…upside down waffle cones with waterfalls of hot fudge streaming out of them….the sand on the shore is colored sprinkles….the boulders are scoops of different flavors……what do you see?

Caroline: lol now that you’ve described that delectable scene, it’s all I can think about

Becks: ha ha ha. well, Marci would love it. It would be really cold.

Caroline: The cliffs would be made of chocolate chip cookie dough chunks. So that I can just walk up to them and grab a bite.

Becks: ooooh, good addition.

Caroline: You’re right, Marci would die happy there.

::Pause::

Caroline: Something needs to be made of dark chocolate. The tree trunks? The tree leaves can be mint chocolate.

Becks: I foresee a blog entry in the making….

Caroline: lol, such a refreshing post it would be!

Becks: Indeed.

You know you're a geek when...

…you spend your Saturday night playing Nintendo Wii in a conference room at Cisco.

I really, really, REALLY need a life.

So do my friends.

Sheesh

I have three blog entries that I’ve started but haven’t posted yet.

One of them is way too long but I can’t decide what to cut.

One of them is really good but only half way finished. I think it’s going to be long too, and then I’ll have to make cuts.

One of them is too angry and needs heavy editing.

I hope I don’t forget to take care of them so I can eventually post them.

I’m quite fond of them. :)

I have decided...

…that heaven is a place where chewing gum and other noisy candy doesn’t exist, and where people chew quietly with their mouths closed when they eat.

Maybe I should do this for a living....

Start your own roach coach.

After all, I’ve already got all the roaches.

I just found out on my last birthday that I am a fan of David Bowie. A lot of you know that I like the movie Labyrinth, mostly because I was scarred by the spandex as a young child. However, my friend (was it Marci or Caroline? I don’t remember, sorry) played some David Bowie for me at my birthday party, and I realized I knew and loved most of the songs but had never noticed it was David Bowie singing them. Thus my revelation that I am a fan.
I love colubrid snakes. I think they are beautiful and entertaining. My brother and sister had pet snakes when I was a kid and it was like having “Wild America” in your living even if CNN was on the tube. I don’t think I’d ever want one as a pet, even though they are terribly low-maintenance, but I still think they are fascinating creatures and are fun to play with.
Sometimes I eat salt by itself, right out of the shaker.
When I was a kid I had a crush on Roger Rabbit. He made me laugh. I think that’s the only crush I’ve had that is weirder than my Jeff Goldblum crush.
I can’t drink water if it has been in a glass over night. It grosses me out to think that I’m drinking dusty water. As a result, I highly identify with that creepy little girl from Signs.
My favorite poem is “Very Like A Whale” by Ogden Nash.
Until I was too old to join, I often thought about running away to join the Air Force because I secretly want to fly blackhawk helicopters.
