bond girl wanted

i could hardly sleep last night because of all the loud thunder. so i used my insomnia to discover more brainless entertainment on the internet, and i came across this website with all kinds of quizes (www.quizfarm.com). one quiz in particular caught my eye: "Which Action Hero Would You Be?"

excellent, this would be the moment i could finally expose my true identity. and the results were not surprising. who am i? with 100% certainty, i am 007--Bond. here is what the website said:

"You scored as James Bond, Agent 007. James Bond is MI6's best agent, a suave, sophisticated super spy with charm, cunning, and a license's to kill. He doesn't care about rules or regulations and somewhat amoral. He does care about saving humanity though, as well as the beautiful women who fill his world. Bond has expensive tastes, a wide knowledge of many subjects, and his usually armed with a clever gadget and an appropriate one-liner."

wow, this really is me.

James Bond, Agent 007		100%
William Wallace		63%
El Zorro		63%
Maximus		58%
Batman, the Dark Knight		54%
Neo, the "One"		54%
Lara Croft		50%
Captain Jack Sparrow		50%
Indiana Jones		50%
The Amazing Spider-Man		42%
The Terminator		33%

this is sciene, and science has spoken to prove what i have always known deep down inside. the only part i am a bit confused about is how Lara Croft came up on the list. anyhow, nevermind that glitch in the system. now i just gotta find myself a bond girl. Xenia Onatopp-Shaikley... it has a nice ring to it, no?

wimbleDONE

well, cross another item off the 'gotta do it in my lifetime' list. last week i went to wimbledon and watched some great matches. it was a nice atmosphere and it lived up to a lot of the hype, and on top of all that, i also got to cross another thing off the lifetime achievement list on that day: sit close enough to the chair umpire to figure out what the tennis players are saying to him when they get pissed. am i the only one who has been wishing that they would leave the mic on the umpire's chair turned on when the players go to argue, vent, curse or praise the call? well, point is that i got the best seat in the house for the match between nalbandian and verdasco, first row, center, and right behind the umpire.

it was a tense match that went to tie breaks for the first two sets. tempers were high and words were being directed to the umpire... all kinds of words... in english and spanish!

needless to say, after hearing all of the comments made by the players--especially by nalbandian--i now agree with the wisdom of not leaving the umpire's mic turned on! haha... my spanish is a bit rusty these days, but i believe one of nalbandian's diatribes went as follows: la *$&@! es una *#&*@^! grande *!@*#& la pelota $^@#! afuera @&#! y tu madre $&!*@ yo quiero taco bell @!%*&!!! and that was on a point he won. and i'm not sure about the taco bell thing... i was a bit hungry so i may have been hearing things.

(random pic i took of federer -- note the old school, 1980's Nike Air shirt he is sporting. this is why the man is so money!)

so now it's time to work on crossing more items off the list, which include things like:
- score a hole-in-one in golf
- buy a ferrari
- get a job
- break the 1,000,000 frequent flyer miles mark before age 30
- delay marriage for a couple more years

...and a bunch of others. i'll update as i continue to cross things off.
