Stupid name, smart movie

I saw Quantum of Solace Friday night, and I have to say, It was sweet. Loads of cools places: Italy, Haiti, Bolivia- not to mention the sweet action,(minus the boat scene, it was a bit to jerky for my liking; it looked like they actually filmed it from the boat)nice cars,and babes made it a real treat for the eyes. In fact, other than the boat scene, and name, (Although I guess ridiculous names are in line with the Bond tradition)I liked this one better than the last. On top of that, the song for the opening credits was done by the beautiful and talented Alicia Keys,(and the weird looking guy from the White Stripes)and you've got yourself one heck of a movie.In fact, I thought this was the best action movie I've seen this year. Then again, I still haven't seen The Dark Knight. My friend and I were talking about it after, and we decided this James Bond is more rebellious and bad to the bone than ever. He's basically James Dean on steroids. And HGH. Also, I was lucky enough to fall in love during the movie too...

Just look at her. Her name is Olga Kurylenko, and she plays a half-Bolivian, half-Russian chick with revenge for her dead family on her mind. People said she did a bad job, but I don't think so. Although... it is possible I just didn't pay any attention to her acting. Now that I think about it I can't remember much in particular about her acting...Dang she's fine!


The past few weeks have been kinda crazy. With my boss out of town, I have had to go clean a few more places than I typically do; luckily, she let me use her car while she's gone visiting her son's fam (having a car here is so great, I can't even tell you). On top of that, I house-sat and took care of her dog Ellie at her place for a week. She lives way up in the mountains, and it has great views, and is incredibly beautiful. There are Lemon, avocado, and Guava trees right outside her house, too. Ellie is an english cocker spaniel, and she's super smart, but spoiled. She even has her own treadmill that she walks on every day.

So anyway, today my boss came back, and I gave the car back. Part of me is relieved, because that mean I have less responsibility, but I know it won't be long until I really wish I had a car.

NBA basketball

I love the NBA, especially the Jazz. Maybe I'm a loser with no friends,and nothing better to do, but almost everyday since I've been in Hawaii I thought about how I won't be able to see them on TV this year, because I don't have good ole KJAZZ in Hawaii. Then on Saturday, I made a discovery. We have some channel that pretty much just shows LA sports; UCLA, USC, Lakers, everything. And it just so happened that the Jazz played the Clippers Saturday and Monday night. Needless to say I was most pleased. I'll tell you what else I'm pleased with...the Jazz! They haven't lost yet despite playing without Deron Williams. I know it's too early too tell for sure, but Brewer, Millsap, Korver, and Kirilenko all look improved from last year, and I like Brevin Knight too(although I dunno how many minutes he'll get this year competing for second-string point with Ronnie Price). Two things I don't like though, are C.J. Miles sucking it up(they should start Harpring when he's healthy, at least he can rebound), and Fesenko looking like he doesn't even care when he's out there. Granted, he only plays if it's a blowout, so there really is nothing to play for, but come on man! He's got a freakin incredible build for the NBA, I mean a lot of size. 7'1", 290 lbs!! In fact, my favorite part of both games against the Clippers was when the announcers started talking about the size of his calves.
"Do you think those things are as big as Yao Ming's?"
"I dunno...actually, I'm still trying to figure out how to say his name. Tell you what, if he gets the ball you're taking over the play-by-play."
Hilarious stuff. Really the highest of comedy. Maybe you had to be there, but it makes me wish they played the Clippers every game- Ok every other game.
