Musings from the Mundane: Mediterranean Bond Works Dickens

That could describe the week.

Lots of work this week.

The Cheap Eat was Alexandrya Mediterranean Cuisine. Its downtown on the edge of the Portland State campus. Small place. Its Lebanese. Even though I don't imagine it raining much there....warm yummy falafel is perfect on a cold rainy night when you've walked around abit to find the place you're heading for. It warms your hands and your tummy....as well as tasting good.

I saw the Bond movie last night (naturally). It was a welcome departure from some of the more formulaic movies. Go and see it if you get the chance. Highly recommended. Only complaint; the title song sucked and the opening credits weren't as pleasing to the eye...product placement was evident in the film; Ford made sure to have its cars in the movie (Namebrand, Jaguar, Aston Martin...great car, and Volvo all present) and the owner of Columbia was present as well (Bond does have great taste in laptops)

Finally, finished another book. Lesson learned; life is not what it seems and pride will hurt you.

(formulaic spoiler below)

Great Expectations
Charles Dickens

I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.

We'll see what eclectism next week elicits.....
