AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Saturday, October 24, 2009


Yesterday we had dinner at the Ancient Taste restaurant, and we were served by a six year old kid.
She cleared the dishes on the table, brought the drinks and even got the bill to us. She didn't seem very keen on talking, though - just wanted to work and work and work.
At five o'clock yesterday my dad made us watch Aliens, but we didn't want to. Jason went, "Can't we watch some family bonding movie instead?"
"Such as...?"
"James Bond, of course!"
So we ended up watching Die Another Day. Which isn't a bad movie for a James Bond movie.
Things that make Bond movies Bond movies and not Evans movies:
1) The dry, witty comments. Typical Brit humor. One liners that make you laugh like there's no tomorrow.
2) The gadgets. Jet packs and invisible cars - a must have in the movies.
3) The two most classic lines of all: "Martini, shaken not stirred" and "My name is Bond. James Bond."
4) The impossibility of it all. Bond movies are pretty much something you won't see in real life.
5) The girls. He's got as many gadgets as he has girls.
That list was very random.

~Quote of the Day~
In Germany they came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.
Reverend Martin Niemoller. True, true.

~Uesless fact of the Day~
A Russian telecoms company offers free phone calls to the White House for anyone who wants to rant at George Bush. I bet they're now offering free phone calls for anyone who wants to rant at Obama.
