Back again

OK, so I'll give a run down on how I'll be updating these posts.

Pretty much every time I accomplish something on the list, I'll put an update of what I have done. This will be followed by a brief description of it. In some cases i'll take be taking pictures of what has been done, so people can get a view of it.

The previous week update I was able to do four things: read two books, watch a movie, and do a sporting activity. I'll give a description of each.

Books
1. Moonraker by Ian Fleming. This book follows the adventure of James Bond in England. It begins with Bond investigating a cheater at M, his boss's, card club Blades. The cheater, a well respected man by the name of Hugo Drax, is in charge of a missile project known as the Moonraker. After the game Bond is sent to investigate the project due to suspicions of it. He is joined by the operative Gala Brand, who is spying of Drax as his secretary. Bond's investigating of project leads to a startling discovery that if left unattended, could destroy London.

2. From Russia with Love, by Ian Fleming. The Soviet assassination agency, SMERSH, needs to use a plan to shake the international community. Having decided on killing Bond and making his death an embarassment to England, they train one of their women, Tatiana Romanova, to seduce him. She is to lure him to Instanbul under the pretence of getting a spy machine. But when he arrives, a deadly game begins and double crossing ensues from Turkey through to Paris.

Movie
3. 1408. A reporter stays in a haunted room to do a story on it. Over the time he is there, he has encounters with the spirits of those who died in the room, as the room itself is poccessed by a evil presence. During his stay, he comes to horrors in his own life, such as the death of his daughter. He eventually sets the room ablaze to get free.

Sporting activity
4. Midnight Ultimate Frisbee. Played a game with different colored glow sticks on our arms, signifying teams.

I'll be trying to follow this format with all my updates, as well as trying to provide photos of the accomplishments.

So from last Friday until today, Monday, I have accomplished:

Book:
1. Diamonds are Forever, by Ian Fleming(i'm on a Bond kick). A diamond smuggling ring from Africa through London and ending in the United States has Bond brought in to investigate. What starts as a simple mission brings James Bond into the world of gangs in the United States, as well close encounters with death from Mr. Winn and Mr. Kidd, as well as the beautiful Tiffany Case.

Beer.
2. Sam Adams. Really nothing else to say, except tasty! Goes down smooth and crisp.

Sport activity
3. Ultimate Frisbee. Played a massive game of ultimate frisbee over at an elementary near my house. Great game, very intense.

So thats it, I'll see what I get done over the next couple of days.
