Shameless Whinging About the Weather and Other Things

It's freakin' 30 degrees. Right here in Florida. Tonight the forecast is for a near-record low of 21 degrees, with wind chill of 10. It's weather like this that chased me from the Northeast. Why move to Bodunk, FL, USA if I'm still going to freeze my ass off?! I could be home in NYC, desperate for a glimmer of sunshine and watching the snow accumulate in grey curbside mounds. But there'd be access.

The new Sherlock Holmes movie, eh, not so hot. I miss movies that feature human beings over special effects. Movies meant to evoke emotion, not induce headaches and motion sickness. If you've seen one explosion, you've seen 'em all.

Otherwise: Robert Downey's English accent sucked. Jude Law's Watson was more attractive for being unglamorous. Holmes/Watson, so married.

Watson to Holmes: You old cock.

Holmes to Watson: Mother hen.

The best parts were the sketched scenes in the closing credits and the Dubliners' rockin' "Rocky Road to Dublin."
