Have you ever just had one of those days? Of course you have... else that question wouldn't be so cliché. Today is one of those days. I have burned myself twice, spilled stain inducing substances on the carpet in the den twice, spilled my coffee, etc. I have fallen behind on tasks that I need to get done at the house. With the holiday just over a day away, I've been feeling down and all in all not healthy. I've decided to not drive out of town to see my family over the holiday. I don't even want to leave the house to be honest. If it were not a work day, I'd be back in bed trying to sleep. Today is just not going well for me. Last night, a large group of us went to see Casino Royal at The Movie Tavern. I think it is my favorite Bond movie since Connery left. The story and character are more in line with the original character from the books. They take some liberty in diverting from the main plot to develop his character and provide some insight into how he becomes 007, strays, and returns. Overall, I thought it was well done. There was one scene toward the end that was incredibly difficult for me to sit through, but I won't spoil anything for you if you haven't seen it yet. Other than that brief scene, I enjoyed the movie. Because we went for dinner before the film, I missed House. It is times like this I kick myself for not having a PVR. I'm going to try to stay away from anything hot or sharp the rest of the day... and maybe clean the carpet in a little bit. :-(
