Snorring man


After the Eiffel Tower, we walked to Champs de Elyses to watch Quantam of Solace the new James Bond movie. I'm a 007 fan and I like the new guy Daniel Craig a lot. Anyways it's a good movie if your a man. Great action scenes, great get away scenes, car chase, I mean it was pretty entertaining. The plots no award winner for best twist or anything, but it's what you expect from a James bond movie. However I did think it was lacking a little bit in the cool gadgetry aspect that I'm accustomed to with James Bond. I mean don't get me wrong the bureau had a pretty sweet computer like a touch screen on crack, but it's not something I haven't seen before. Also, it wasn't something Bond even used. I digress.
The reason I bring this up is to tell you about the movie theater itself and maybe some of the people in it. So we go in and make sure that it is playing in English. Good call, instead of racking my brain trying to figure out French (like I do with Rosetta Stone....btw I'm a fan of the stone, but it's tough... hopefully before June I'll be able to speak some French!!!) So we go into the theater and I don't know if we just drew the short stick because the theater is about twice the size of a home theater... it might even be the same size as the theater in the SAE house at Tech. But the seats are comfortable and there are not that many people watching anyway
Speaking of people "watching" ... let me tell you about the family in front of us. So a husband, wife, and daughter, the daughter was probably my age, were sitting in front of us. In the middle of one of the action scenes the husband starts snoring... REALLY? I mean you can do whatever you like, but seriously go to a high action packed movie and fall asleep... to each their own... I look over at Matt and then try coughing loud to wake him up... no good, then Matt tries nudging him in the back of his seat. This guys a sleeping rock... whatever, then maybe 9 mins later the daughter also falls asleep. Ok, so maybe they are a narcoleptic family! I just couldn't believe it. I have sounds of gun shots and snoring all in one.


Haha, it was a humourus experience. Here's a pic from Champs de Elyses. I wish I could capture the depth of it. This is only about a 3rd of the way down, but I wanted to be able to see the Arch. It is so cool during Christmas time because All the lights on the trees lining the street fall. Maybe I'll get Matt to take a video and show you guys... Speaking of Christmas... I can't believe it is here already. I think all I want for christmas is a chickfila peach bowl ticket!!! hahaha... Anyways hope you are enjoying the holidays. Au revoir.

For some reason, clearing the throat in the movie theater never is as effective as one would hope
