Last Sunday, I went to Monique’s birthday party. The theme was awesome! I mean, it wasn’t “awesome” as a theme, the theme was James Bond, and that’s awesome. James Bond is also awesome. The people who came got all dressed up as James bond characters. I went as an evil mastermind.
Boris went as 007 himself, in a tux that he had “lying around”. Boris has a lot of amazing things lying around. Susie and Rachael went as typical Bond girls, with dresses cut down to here and up to there. Alex was Q—he wore a real lab coat borrowed from UBC, and spoke in an excited, enthusiastic voice just like Q.
Monique’s mom dress as M, with feathery cap. James was going to wear a wet suit, but ended up doing too much cooking to get into his costume. There may have been other costumes, but they escape me at the moment—just like James Bond would!
We went from the party, after having imbibed a few martinis, to the Dunbar Theater where the popcorn is great and the movie was sigh sigh sigh. I mean, it was a decent James Bond movie, though I liked it even better when they called it Bourne Supremacy.
They left out the part where he says his name is Bond, James Bond, and they left out basically any gadget except for a fancy cell phone with GPS and an extreme zoom. They also glossed over some important points like, when he’s stuck in Austria and his credit card is declined, how does he get to Italy to ask his buddy for fake ID?
