Yup. It’s a mid-workday entry.

I left work early. I usually try not to do that unless it’s Friday; Fridays make it alright to want to ditch work (or leave early) just on general principle. But, I figured that since I’m supervising this weekend (higher-level pay AND 8 hours of Sunday premium pay), I can swing taking a few extra hours off.

Pretty quiet day, so far.

  • Woke up; and as always, I consider that a good way to start the day.
  • Did the daily rituals – I didn’t have to pack a lunch today since Jess (the coolest gf in the world) packed one for me last night from some of the dinner leftovers.
  • Got a cup of frozen mocha goodness.
  • Stopped at the mall on the way to work for Cinnabons.
  • Worked and left early.

And there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.

I was talking with a friend at work and our discussion drifted into comic books and related media. Imagine that. We got onto the topic of “Who should play Princess Diana in the Wonder Woman movie?” One of the front-runners is Sandra Bullock. I’m not exactly thrilled with that. And it’s not that I don’t like Ms. Bullock; I do. I think that she’s a good actress, but she has a couple of things that I think work against her:

  • Diana is an Amazon; Sandra is 5’=7-1/2″
  • Diana, when drawn correctly, has a rather exotic look; Sandra looks more like the girl next door.
  • Diana, also when drawn correctly, has an athletic build, in fact, you could even say that she’s “buff”; Sandra was a high school cheerleader (okay, that’s athletic), but doesn’t strike me as someone I’d expect to see tossing cars around.
  • Diana has one of the most easily recognizable costumes in pop culture; Sandra doesn’t want to wear it.

As you can see, we tend to discuss the really thoughtful questions that affect humanity and the human condition at work.

Anyway, my 2¢ on whom they should cast:

  • Gabrielle Reese – She’s tall (6′-3″); athletic (pro volleyball player); and, fortunately, she has some acting experience (“Gattaca,” “Arli$$,” and she’s a former MTV VJ/Sports commentator);
  • Catherine Zeta-Jones – The only drawback is her height (5′-8″), but she’s fits just about everything else, I think;
  • Terry Farrell – Formerly of TV’s “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and currently on CBS’ “Becker,” she’s got the height (6′) and the acting experience AND she’s fairly athletic.

Like I said: That’s just my opinion. Feel free to comment on who you think might be suited for the role.

And on that note (F#), I’m outta here… for now.

Peace.
