A Few Things I Took Away From Skyfall

I finally saw Skyfall yesterday with my dad. I took away some really good thoughts!


First, I need to learn to ride my motorcycle this well! Now my bike isn't made for riding on roof tops but the skills should be transferable to other motorcycles.


Second, I think I would be very happy to drive a Land Rover Defender pick up truck. Just look at this thing!
I don't need to use it to stop bad guys from getting away, but it would be a fun daily driver! Looks like they are available used for about $40,000.







Third, I really need to go to London! Definitely my first oversees destination when I get my passport renewed! I plan to visit sights from Doctor Who and Bond movies!





Fourth, I REALLY NEED somewhere I can wear a little black dress, and I don't think it is in Waco, Texas. But if I had somewhere to go, this is the dress I want to wear! I think I will sew one over Christmas break! I know her jewelery wasn't really Christian fish, but it sure looked like it.  This would be a great cosplay outfit too. *Spoiler* I know, she dies, but not in this dress.

Lastly, James Bond proves in this movie that growing old ain't for sissies! Bond goes back into the field even though he flunked all the tests. He lives one day at a time, just doing the next right thing...


Here's to hoping I have figured out this Blogger program and it won't be 11 months until I try again to put up a post!

New Years Eve

Kyrie and I had a great time! We made fondue with Guinness and cheese.

We were all stuffed and so we took a break from eating and watched Shaun of the Dead. Then when that ended we played Zombie Fluxx. (They seemed to go well together.)

Kyrie, and I had great chocolate fondue for dessert and then Aaryk decided we needed to watch "Bolt". Now you see I don't watch dog or horse movies because they make me cry, but Kryie promised it had a happy ending. It did give me an anxiety attack about 3/4 of the way through but it was a good movie.

Christmas

Went to Mom and Dad's for Christmas!

I got Zombie Fluxx and I taught Dad to play.


I also made Christmas Bread. I love Christmas Bread. It is a sweetbread recipe with crushed vanilla wafers, brown sugar, cinnamon and other spices. It is a family tradition.
