Words cannot express how beautiful I find this. I suggest watching it with the sound off first.

All I Have to Say...
...is it's about time. It's snowing like crazy, but not so much that you can't walk around and catch snowflakes on your tongue without being knocked over.
Perfect.
Perfect.

"What Your Mom Would Feed You, If Your Mom Were A Man."
On Friday I saw the 2006 Cannes International Advertising Festival movie/clips/thing. Never have I laughed so hard, then been forced to seriously consider something so quickly after. Although I must say that I think Nike's trying too hard.
Notables were the Skittles one with the singing bunny (funny), the MTV one ("interesting", as you would expect from MTV), the one for the President of (?) country (well thought-out), one for Smooth-E facial cream, and most of the beer ones. Plus the car ones that randomly incorporated Movies in 30 seconds and Re-enacted by Bunnies.
An excellent evening.

You Know My Name
I FINALLY saw Casino Royale last week. I was pretty impressed...I also liked Daniel Craig as Bond. He's not as "upper-class British" seeming as the other Bonds, but he did well as a sort of rugged Bond.
I do, however, have a bone to pick. If Bond was upgraded to 007 status in this film, and the film obviously takes place in current times (i.e. due to technology, the year 2006 on the security footage dvds), are they completely negating all the old Bond flicks or what? I saw Casino Royale with my friend Aaron, and we were both annoyed by this factor. There's probably an explanation floating around somewhere on the net...
Other than that, it was pretty neat--the construction site-jumping guy was amazing, and I also enjoyed the theme song and intro sequence. It was also rather hilarious to compare this to the old flicks, a few of which I watched over the holidays...the gender stereotypes and whatnot, plus the tech that used to be so cool.

Addendum
Happy New Year!
The New Year's party was excellent, good times.
I wish it would snow. I haven't played Ultimate Frisbee in the snow in so long...
