Note that the title of the fifth Bond novel is From Russia, with Love while the title of the second Bond film is From Russia with Love. The Secret Base codename of my old college pal Olga is, after the film, From Russia with Love. Is there a connection between my fondness for the film From Russia with Love, my warm memories of From Russia with Love, and my favorite sushi roll at Sagano also being named From Russia with Love? Yes, yes there is.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
The Eyeliners, "The Promise" from No Apologies (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: An atypical little song in which it is the distaff half of a male/female friendship who wants to be something other than just friends.

"But if you wait around a while
I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will."
