So much for the Bears winning their first game on Sunday Night Football.....
Sitting here listening to the rain outside as I write, a very pleasant sound. We actually had some thunder storms yesterday morning! Not very common around these parts but great to hear, I think it's left overs from the tropical storm down south. About to have some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. For some reason, I had a major craving for it so I quickly went out to the store and picked some up. I ran almost 2 miles this morning so I feel it's okay to have ice cream tonight.
Speaking of the store, when I was there they had green chiles from New Mexico! Had to grab a bunch of them to take back with me. I was thrilled to see that they carried them, it's that time of year that they're in season. Can't wait to roast them this week.
So I've decided to give the movie Quantum Of Solace another try, just got it on net flicks. I'll let you know what I think. Wasn't sure about it the first time through a few months back. As you know, Casino Royale has been one of if not my favorite movies of all time (I'm sure those of you who have been following my blog already know this) so I set the bar pretty high for Quantum.
YESTERDAY:
I spent yesterday afternoon and evening hanging with my pal Luke out in Livermore Ca at the Guitar Player Live 09'. Man, it's gotta be about a year and a half since I've seen him and it was really cool of him to invite me down to hang. When I got there we walked over to one of the stages and watched the Travis Larson Band rock out for a while, man they were great! Great players and their live sound was killer. We all hung out after their performance, really nice cats. Soon after I went with Luke over to the Bankhead Theater, he was on the judging panel for the guitar player competition. Hung out backstage with him, Jennifer Batten, Earl Slick, Elliot Easton and Greg Hampton. I also sat behind them during the competition and listened to them critique the guitarists after they performed. It was almost like American idol, there were some pretty funny comments back n' forth between the judges. All of us were thinking it's got to be hard to get up there and play in a competition like that. That kind of thing is not for me but I give lots of credit to the players that got on stage.

Don't be too harsh with Quantum. It's a nice addition to CR. It works quite well watched in a row.
Okay will do. I'll have to watch them in a row, good idea. I think it's growing on me. Not sure how I feel about the editing.
Well, I did mention that I like the Tosca sequence because of how the music fits the scenes. And the Jaime Cuadra music on the party in Bolivia sounds cool. I also dig that Aston Martin Bond is driving in the beginning (note that I'm not much into cars)...
Yeah, that scene is nicely done. Yeah, that Aston Martin is quite the car. I'm looking forward to the next film but it looks like it will be awhile.
I'm moving to Brussels today. First with only one big suitcase, treating it as an internship. But both, CR and QoS are in that suitcase!
It's mandatory to take those, Excellent decision!
Good luck with your move.
