| Me dressed up as a certain 00 agent |
Let me start with a true story: Mid to late afternoon I got a call asking if I could compact the trash. I had just tied my bow tie and was looking good. Regardless I went to the trash compactor and compacted. Even a member of my community, whom I had not met, turned his car around and stopped to ensure he had seen it right: me all dressed up to compact the community trash.
Ok with that said on to the night. Friends started trickling in slowly shortly after my battle of wits with the trash. Bond features played throughout the evening in the back ground and a mighty meal of breakfast for dinner prepared. We even sipped on martinis.
Then we journeyed to the theater. After popcorn and sodas were consumed the moment arrived I had been anxiously waiting for came. A certain theme played and one secret agent blazed in to focus. Two and a half hours of excitement later we emered from what is and will be the best movie of 2012. Not only is it the best Daniel Craig Bond (after Casino Royale that’s quite an accomplishment) its one of the best in the franchise. Skyfall is as a mighty installment as George Lazinbe’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (my personal favorite).
I had been looking forward to Skyfall for well over a year and was the movie I was most excited for in 2012. As the movie came closer to release the days stretched longer while preparations for the night got underway. The night I got to combine a variety of my favorite things: cooking, midnight movies, James Bond, hanging out with friends and family. The wait was well worth it and I don’t think I’m the only one saying that.
I’ve said it before but after this past week I say it again and with more meaning: I’m honored to have people who want to gather for friendship and fellowship to be wined and dined and hang out for all hours of the night.
It’s nights and experiences like this that will be looked back fondly in the time to come. I can’t wait for the next gathering.
