Bond

The difference between an average movie watcher, a writer, and someone with an overactive imagination:

An average movie watcher:

While at lunch, notices that there is a guy who looks like Daniel Craig’s James Bond sitting two tables away.

A writer:

Notices that besides herself, the Bondman, and the man Bond is talking to, there is no one else eating in the porch of the restaurant. Glances around room looking for hidden cameras in the restaurant and sees that there aren’t any. Thinks to self, “You know, this would be a great place for some kind of action sequence.” Thinks about possible storylines for the perfect action scene in a movie.

Someone with an overactive imagination:

Pays for her meal and the proceeds to leave the restaurant, but not before shooting the Bondman a look that says, “Hey, don’t you try anything. I’ve got a Leatherman Sidekick in my purse and I’m not afraid to use it! Let me leave the restaurant before you prove why your name is James Bond to the business man you’re talking to.”

Al Gore

“Sweetheart, prepare for Al Gore being funny. Crazy! I know!”

“Weird.”

“Al Gore really should have been a comedian instead of a politician.”

(sarcastic) “Ah, where would we be without Al Gore…”

“We wouldn’t have the internet or global warming!”

I don’t want to know.

Someone was using the search terms “large immaculate” and somehow found my blog.

I don’t even think I can explain how awkward I feel right now.

Outside it is bright, warm, and sticky.

So, if you see me and I scowl at you, I’m not mad.

It’s just the weather.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You notice all the little details about me that no one else sees; you’re one of the most understanding people I know; and you treat me like I am beautiful. And for all of that I have to thank you.

You’re the best boyfriend ever.

And as cheesy as I know this will sound, hope today is as wonderful as you are.

Ladies and gentlemen…

This beautiful July the 15th is a special day, a very special day indeed.

Why, you ask?

Because today is the anniversary of a birth that changed the world forever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN!

I was going to make you a Kidpix cake but my painting skills proved to be a little worse than rudimentary. So instead I decided to write you a post/tweet and leave the Kidpixing to you. It’s the thought that counts, right? Enjoy your pretend digital cake.

And for those of you who do not know who Jenn is, I suggest you drop by You are flawed if you are not free and find out yourself. If you have not yet paid her a visit (or three hundred) you are very obviously missing out.

C-STONE 2008!

Woo hooooo! I’m back from Cornerstone Festival 2008!

I’ll have to double-check with my program, but the running total number of bands that I saw play concerts between Monday June 30th to Saturday July 5th is currently 33.

33!

The fest cost me $155 at the gate. Regular concert tickets typically being roughly $15 a piece, it would take ten concerts for the ticket price to be worth it. I saw over three times that number.

I’ll post the list of bands that I saw soon. I’m just waiting for the rest of this Monday after vacation to be over.
