SKYFALL = BATMAN (?)

Since I am in love with James Bond I enjoyed every second of the movie, however the more logical thinking viewers (like my husband) felt that watching James Bond's Skyfall was like watching a Batman movie. Gotham = England, under attack, the great defender: Batman = James Bond to the rescue... even though James Bond's forte is espionage we saw none of that... there was even an old mansion with an old Alfred looking guy... the villian Mr. Silver = the Joker going crazy and blowing up parts of the city/country at will... Mr.Silver's deformed face = to Joker's face problems. Sometimes the acting was similar too... over all we went to watch a James Bond and ended up watching a Batman with Danial Craig... very happy about all the action and everything but where was James Bond? and that Great secret organization turned out to be a single man on a super computer... really? a bit disappointing there... We had hoped for a proper organization's infliration by James Bond with some proper spying and destroying of an "organization" (not just a person) as we had been led to believe by the previous movies.
Anyway, all in all a good movie... I loved all the action and everything he did, how he held the gun etc... I did get a little emotional when MoneyPenny shot him, calling her names and "are you blind!" while everyone turned around to look at me like I was crazy... no people, not crazy just in love :D

Baby colic

So anyone with a baby knows that babies have sensitive stomachs. Usually gripe water works but sometimes it's not enough. Like with my daughter, she was colic the second she was born. She won't sleep, passing gas was such a problem I never thought it'd be something I'd have to worry about so much. So after some sleepless nights and some experiments with different homeopathic medicine I was adviced to try biron's cocyntal for colic relief and I found it at a website which delivers to your home. It worked like a charm... within 15mins she would stop crying and a little later she'd fall asleep again. I also tried other things like laying her on her stomach or massaging her but nothing worked except Cocyntal. The website was www.well.ca. It was such a relief and I was glad to get a little sleep back. :)

S3 versus BB

So after being very loyal to the BB for a long time, I caved. Am not proud of it, but it was for the better. The S3 is really, really groovy... and the BB was well, very professional, which is excellent for someone who's making a lot of money at work and meets with clients and had to portray a certain image at work. I on the other hand am on mat leave and i do not make a lot of money... so really, I have no major multi millionaire business man impressions to make... so i went one step further and bought the white one. That was a big step for me, from from my black berry bold to an S3 in white...total opposite of what I was use to... so far am loving it, I haven't totally figured it out yet, but I'm getting there... the only thing I'm finding very annoying is the lack of keyboard, i was prepared for that but still... i cant type fast enough and that bothers me. on the whole... am all for the S3, I was sad to let go of my BB and very insecure at first when I didn't have my BBM, but I'll do with whatsapp and viber because in return i get a lot of other cool stuff... oh and it doesn't fit in any pockets except for in a jacket, and am scared to put it in my bag because a lipstick will for sure call someone or scratch it... I've been told its not the brick that the BB was so I cant drop it all the time either... bummer... :p

BrooklyKnight

so the Brooklyn Nets and Marvel Comics came up with a Super hero for the first time in NBA history. Who comes up with these genius ideas??! lol, this will probably make a lot of money... what with movies, comics, and whatever else NBA fans do and spend money on. I mean, why wait for a comic book writer to come up with a super hero, lets make our own with what ever makes us happy, hmmm lets see, i like basket ball and money, and i like my city... and i like BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES OR FALLS either is fine , lets put it all in a bowl and boom, you have your self a BROOKLYKNIGHT, super hero, protector and basket ball player or fan... regardless of not being very original its still pretty genius, if this sticks these people will make a lot of money off of it... like CARS... who came up with that!? fairy tales for boys... awesome! except for the fairies and prince charmings and princesses and magical birds. 

Skyfall

I'm so excited about Skyfall that I might end up being disappointed... I hate when that happens. I try not to expect too much but it just happens with movies like James Bond. I suppose that puts a lot of preasure on the producers, not sure though they feel the preassure... James Bond's is going to make money, enough to cover the cost and some more... regardless of how it is, but if its really good, it'll make them a lot of money... maybe they care about that... I just hope I feel satisfied with the ending. I mean, don't get me wrong I love all the action, I live off of all the action, but I really want a good ending.
It took time for me to accept Danial Craig but now he's grown on me, before I was like, this guy's blonde, everywhere and buff... he looks russian, which is the enemy...right?? (according to all the previous Bond movies) but maybe that makes him a good spy, he blends in, unfortunately the enemies are different now...
Anyway, I really really want to see it the day it comes out... :) my husband predicts that it'll break all records except for Avatar's.

nails and lips

normally i do not restrict myself to certain looks or colours according to seasons etc... but sometimes when you look outside the window you feel a certain colour... and this fall/winter i feel red and gold... i suppose that also has something to do with Christmas... but my experiments with colours, on my nails, went from blue to purple to bright pink (which looked horrible on me btw) and came back down to red and gold.
There are a lot of things that influence the way i look, from what i see around me to what movies I'm waiting for (anxiously) like James Bond, he's definitely all gold... :)
