keladry_lupinI've been more depressed than usual lately, so it's time for a Good Things list.
1. More of the world's first consulting detective. I watched Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes last night with great pleasure. I'm not a huge fan of either Robert Downey Jr or Jude Law, but they were both fun and quite sexy here. I've read that the story doesn't at all resemble canon, and I'm not at all surprised after seeing all that steampunk stuff going on. But it was a fun, fluffy adventure, and seeing what happened to Blackwood in the end was quite satisfying.
Now that I've seen this adaptation, I shall go back and look at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sadynax's Sherlock comics again. (Any excuse.)
2. Lunch with friends today!
3. Alice in Wonderland at the Mysterium again tonight, and then Shannon's birthday party after. (Shannon was one of my daughters in Scrooge and Marley, and she's in tonight's play, too.) Snagged the last discount ticket from Goldstar, too.
4. Girl Scout shortbread cookies. They're excellent straight, but they're even yummier when I pile a few milk chocolate chips on top and then munch them one by one.
5. Silly physical comedy. This is a clip from the fourth series of A Bit of Fry and Laurie. They brought out Clive Mantle, who's just as tall as Stephen and Hugh, and then the next guest bounces out and thoughtfully makes it much easier for each of these men to kiss her hello (starting at 4:10 in this clip):

6. Happy, warm, purring cats, more episodes of Black Books, and avoiding dishwashing duties on a lazy Saturday morning.
7. Cheese popcorn! I bought three bags for me and Dad from my cousin's son for a Boy Scout fundraiser, and they arrived a couple days ago. It's not the best cheese popcorn I've ever had, but it's pretty good.
8. Blue toenail polish.
