it has been a Very Busy Day. Ted and I went to ‘s class and talked their ears off for two hours (mostly I did, with Ted adding the occasional pithy remark). I had *lots* of fun. I hope they did, too. :) Then we went to see Casino Royale, which was too long but which I enjoyed pretty thoroughly. I don’t like Pierce Brosnan, so Daniel Craig was a win in my book even before I saw the movie, but I thought he was an awesome Bond. And OMG,…
