Sherlock v. Sherlock


I have always been fascinated with most of the Sherlock Holmes movies in the past. I saw the two Sherlock movies starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law and really enjoyed them. I have even started following The Sherlock Holmes Society of London. But recently my daughter has started watching the BBC version of Sherlock Holmes starring Benedict Cumberpatch.




Now admittedly, I enjoyed both Sherlock's but Robert Downey Jr. is no match in the Hottie Mchottie department like Benedict Cumberpatch! Ben's sultry voice and deep blue eyes leave me weak in the knees. His character as Sherlock is very intellectual and calculating.




On the flip side (meaning the American Holmes), Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes is more charismatic and witty. This Holmes is not shy about calculating how to beat the crap out of his enemy. I also like his acting style.





Now this blog is not going to be a point by point on each character or actor. I just merely wanted to point out that I am now a HUGE FAN of Benedict Cumberpatch and his wicked handsome self as the Brit's version of Sherlock Holmes. Of course this new celebrity crush is coupled by Ben playing the part of Khan in Star Trek...


and lending his most awesome voice to the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit.


So awesome!


Well, I know I got off subject a bit off subject but that's ok. I'd like to get ON subject when it comes to Ben Cumberpatch.

Until next time....

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...
