Turns To Falafel
A young man's fancy. In springtime. Really, it does!. Nutrition-free iceberg lettuce crunching with deep-fried balls of wholesome goodness...It's been a very quiet weekend, unexpectedly home and work-free! Last night I saw "Casino Royale" and I can say with utter confidence that Daniel Craig's James Bond far surpasses Woody Allen's original. Those of you my age know I'm kidding. : - ) Surprising depth and interpersonal relations - Bond girls are no longer bimbos, and his boss is Judi Dench! Exotic locations include Czech, Uganda, Bahamas, and Madagascar. The 'Casino Royale' this time is not in Monaco but in Montenegro, as in Serbia-Montenegro, on a mountain in a walled city. The excellent Bond theme, shockingly underplayed, is "You Know My Name" by alt-rocker Chris Cornell, former lead singer of Soundgarden. Watch a Casino montage as you listen to it. Listen to Judi Dench talk about it.
Quote of the Day, still on the canine theme:
"If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater. . .
suggest that he wear a tail. "
- Fran Lebowitz
