I love Mondays.  I know for many people, Monday is the start of the work week, but for Symphony musicians, it’s usually your guaranteed day off.  Since Chris has the day off, I like to make sure I have an easy day too (especially since as a quasi-symphony musician I often work so much on the weekends I need a regroup day!)  I teach in the late afternoon for a little bit but otherwise have the day off.

We went to see the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, last night.  WOW.  I loved it. 

And not JUST for the eye candy.  It’s a great movie—we went to a 10:15 showing and I didn’t even realize how tired I was until after the movie, so that says something.  We made the mistake of going to the IMAX show though.  We all thought that IMAX meant bigger screen but evidently it also meant SO LOUD THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE ACTIVELY LOSING YOUR HEARING MINUTE BY MINUTE AND OH MY GOD CAN SOMEBODY TURN IT DOWN.  Nonetheless it was enjoyable, much more so after the preview of Jurassic Park was over.  And we got to nerd out to a Hobbit preview.  Chris was concerned on the way home that I wasn’t going to be able to manage the midnight showing of the Hobbit but I think I will.  I used to be able to stay up past midnight!

And thus begins the last full week before Thanksgiving!  Use this picture as inspiration to stick to your diet and workout plans 😉

Interesting fact:  when you do a google image source for Daniel Craig, he looks REALLY odd when he’s smiling.  Other interesting fact:  I think I might be secretly British due to my sense of humor!  Or should I say, humour.
