prunesquallormdOr alternatively, just Happy Friday :)
Ask me how much of the stuff I need to do today I've actually done. Go on, ask me.
No? Ok. I'll tell you. None.
Which is pretty predictable really. All I really want to do over the next few days is sleep, lie on the sofa, read, have lots of baths and watch DVDs (Cath gave me Fringe for Christmas. Yay :) (obviously I didn't wait till Christmas to open it cos I have no self-control :/). But, it being Christmas, I have to do the whole family thing :((((((
I guess it's only a couple of days a year, but having to deal with my brother is just painful :/
Oh well. It'll be over soon enough, I suppose.
First of all, though, I have to do all the things that I was supposed to do today. Which mostly has to do with packing. And procrastinating. We mustn't forget the procrastinating, must we? That's vitally important.
So obviously, right now I'm posting, and drinking gin and watching more DVDs. Which probably fits the procrastinating bill to a tee. So, result there then.
What else?
Ah yes, I saw Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows on Tuesday, which was as entertaining as the first attempt. Shockingly (given that I've been a fan since I was a child) I've never read The Final Problem, but I suspect the plot wasn't too much like it. The bits it did steal, it did very well though, and Robert Downey Jr is as charming as ever as Holmes, with Jude Law as a Watson who's far less bumbling and clueless than others I've seen before, which I like.
Stephen Fry also made a rather wonderful Mycroft, although I have to admit that, these days, I can't really see Stephen Fry as being anyone but himself, in all his fabulous Stephen Fryness. The price of being a national treasure, maybe?
All in all, a lot of fun, and well worth a watch.
Ooh, and yesterday I saw this!
DO WANT!
It's clearly good and finished, why do we have to wait until next December? And then presumably December 2013 for part 2 :(((((
(I'm wondering what Galadriel is doing in The Hobbit. It'll be interesting to see what they've changed).
I was trying to think of a suitably festive song to sign off with, but I'm struggling. So how about Winterborn? Kinda fits :D
Hugs, all <3
