This is how I spent my nights after work last week: Wednesday—meet
up with the NWA to watch Quantum of Solace, Thursday—meet up with
my brother to watch Quantum of Solace, Friday—meet up with the
busiest woman in the universe to watch Quantum
of Solace.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know everyone’s
favorite, definitive Bond is Sean Connery but after Quantum of
Solace, I’m going to take a leap and say my Bond is Daniel Craig.
He is dangerously sexy, brutal, focused and as Camille (Olga
Kurlyenko) puts it, “horribly efficient.”
He’s got these steely gorgeous blue eyes,
short blond hair and doesn’t care if he gets his face scarred,
bruised, broken up. Blood on an impeccable white button down shirt?
No matter. These things don’t merit even a millisecond of concern.
There’s that job that needs to be done.
Craig’s Bond is also incredibly physical and
elegantly brutal. Skips the fad gadgetry for the most part and takes
care of a lot of business with his bare hands.
Mention the word “hombre” to me and I’ll
think of Daniel Craig. I would certainly love to help Daniel
Craig’s Bond find the hotel stationery any time of the day, any
day of the week.
In fact, right now, I would date man who even
has half the sex appeal of Daniel Craig’s left eyebrow in this
movie.

On Monday, Kiko got voted out of Survivor. To
think that while one my way to my third go at Quantum of Solace, I
saw him buying snacks before Madagascar 2. It’s too bad—I’m
going to miss the dreadlocks and the mad stack of bracelets on his
right hand. And after all this time, he’s really the only
contestant I can identify—well, along with Sagada-based Gigit who
got the boot early October.
My cousin Hank and I were able to chat a bit
with Kiko at “I Have Two Eggs” along Tomas Morato (their Wagyu
tapa is a winner by the way). And we both found out he’s had his
dreadlocks for the last five years, he loves his family and there
must be about a hundred bracelets on that wrist—and no, despite
all the challenges and a variety of weather conditions they’re
exposed to, not a single one has fallen off and they don’t stink
either.
We hope there’s more fun and adventure down
the road of life for this character.
