Shaken, not stirred

Yes, I went and saw "Casino Royale" last night. Quite nice. I will need time to reflect to determine where it sits in the ranks of Bond films. It is better than any of the Roger Moore films, but that requires little effort. Most of them were rank and silly. It is interesting to see the evolution of the special relationship between M and Bond, and his developing misogyny. In the end you still do not know for sure who to trust or what to think...what it must be like to live your life in such a world.

Today is a grinder day...I have made a list of seven things to complete today, knowing that it is impossible to complete all of them, but resolute in going for it...I will fill you in at the end of the day as to where I succeeded and where I failed.

I need to deliver the flyers for the book and CD release party to the Book and Bean today, also put some up around town...some writing and editing chores are out there...and I am herding cats trying to get all the peers and editors I can, who are willing, to complete blurb projects fr me...if you have been overlooked and would like to contribute, cross-pollinating your projects at the same time, let me know.

A good friend of mine called last night, in hysterics...her boyfriend had borrowed her car and was out drinking with his buddies. She called him and he hung up on her...she is worried both about him and the car...and she is just a native worrier (she just had a cancer scare). So, I spent some time on the phone getting her down to a slow insane simmer.
