So..... I saw Sherlock Holmes last night. Shall I summarize? Yes, yes I shall.
- Men's hats
- Enough slow-motion action scenes to send a pregnant woman into labor.
- A plot line that can be predicted faster than you can say Franco Zefferrelli.
- And my favorite..... facial hair. Dazzo-dope facial hair.
- Jude Law with dazzo-dope facial hair.
- Must I tell you how much I adore facial hair?
Needless to say I went into the theater with little expectations. very little expectations, kiddies. I must say that I always thought of Doyle's Holmes to be much more gentlemanly. Just as witty and clever as Downey, but twelve times more swanky and , how shall I put it, restrained. Doyle's Holmes seems as if he is too clever to get himself into a stupid situation,to take the time to think his actions over, while Downey walked right into trouble obliviously only to later find out what a terrible idea it was in the first place. But that's how the director wanted it I guess, and I must give them credit for their wicked foreshadowing . But all the same, I did enjoy it. I'm a sucker for underlying political details and...well......facial hair. Plus I like it when things looks old and scummy. Like the set for Sherlock Holmes! It simply fascinates me and makes me wish I could have been a Gibson girl.
I found many new Postal Service, Menomena, Weezer and such and and such and such {Modest Mouse ref. for those in the know} chords today. I will be a ukulele master!! Maybe. My mum said she is going to buy me a really nice ukulele for my birthday. I hope that pans out well. I already know that I am going to name it "Uke Ellington" .
I want to make this blog into something more sentimental. I want people to read it and be impressed by my intellectuality. But for the time being, I am still myself. I will keep posting about stupid things and being a facebook zombie and dreaming about my future. I will still keep being a dweeb and spending all of my time wishing that I could post more intellectually. Really all I see this as is a blog for a hobby, nothing special. But I want it to be more.

(P.S: Do you miss this? I am kind of considering changing it back.)
