Tonight I:

Did the solo mom thing, whilst the Sweetie had a night out

Took Ros to her fave restaurant

Went to the park afterwards

Let Ros help pack for our trip after she was ready for bed

Made potato salad for a work potluck tomorrow

Packed my own stuff up for the trip

Opened my BB story file up and stared stupidly at it without adding a single word

Apart from the failing to write thing, and the fact that I'm now utterly knackered, it was kind of a nice evening.

Also, I acquired the first of the new BBC Sherlock movies and watched it with a pal on Monday night. I LOVED IT! Like, a lot. Loved the interaction between Freeman's Watson and Cumberbatch's Holmes, loved the way they riffed on A Study in Scarlet, loved Mycroft, loved the whole thing. I can't wait to see the next two movies.

Wasn't it good? Love the little trick of the visible texts. I thought the pace sagged occasionally, but for TV fare I was very impressed. Freeman was a delight, his performance speaks very well of a foil to Cumberbatch that isn't just a bland cypher. I'm very much looking forward to the next ones - here's hoping they get the money to make the rest of the books.

*g* And yes, the thought crossed my mind "they'll be a slash comm for this by morning"!

The texts seemed very much what a modern Holmes would do, a nice update to the telegrams in the canon. (Loved the "Come if convenient." "If inconvenient, come anyway." texts.)

And Freeman was indeed delightful. I was a bit worried about his casting--he's always seemed a bit lightweight to me before--but he was a perfect foil to Cumberbatch, and an interesting character in his own right.

They definitely seemed to be throwing down the gauntlet for slash fans to pick up, god bless 'em. And I'm sure there's a slash comm, and I'll be joining it as soon as I get back from vacation. *g*
