My Two-Cents Worth. {CBS Elementary Before it Airs.}

For anyone who knows me, and knows about my very big Sherlock Holmes obsession, you should understand that I was bound to write this up sooner or later.

Recently, CBS have released a full series synopsis and behind-the-scenes video on their upcoming reboot, Elementary. 

While I’ve been trying really hard to reserve judgement until I’ve seen its pilot episode, it’s been too difficult. Thus, I thought it would be more fun to let out my opinions on here now, and then blog about my reactions after watching it as a comparison.

“Avengers Assemble… Again!”

So, I just came home from watching what I’m still thinking is seriously the best movie I’ve seen all year. 

This time, I went with the whole family plus Ate Rogine and her cohort for a treat after eating a lovely lunch at Sizzlers for Mother’s Day. Lunch was great (I was so stuffed afterwards) and the movie was just the best way to top it off. I still cried, I still laughed, I still squealed.

I also argued with my mother on the way home - she was complaining about the lack of Superman and Batman in the movie, and I was complaining about how she didn’t understand the difference between DC and Marvel despite how many times I talk about it. (Mum also was very vocal during the movie, ruining that awesome moment after something extraordinary happens by saying, very loudly, “I TOLD YOU SO.”)

Nevertheless, it was awesome to hang out together this weekend (Jerome’s Confirmation was on yesterday too, so we’ve technically been partying all weekend) and now I am off to go watch the newest episode of Legend of Korra before starting on the homework I should have been doing. 

EDIT: I will also be listening to the newest podcast of the Baker Street Babes that I just found out has aired, so oops, there goes my weekend…

I wish all the mothers out there a very good Mothers Day! 

“Avengers Assemble!”

So, I just came home from watching what I’m thinking is seriously the best movie I’ve seen all year. I can’t even articulate my thoughts any more.

{Hello Happy Hot Chocolate.}

It was delicious. And oh-so-cute, I could barely destroy it. But it was delicious. 

Here dwell together still two men of note
Who never lived and so can never die:
How very near they seem, yet how remote
That age before the world went all awry.
But still the game’s afoot for those with ears
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo:
England is England yet, for all our fears–
Only those things the heart believes are true.
A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.

Halcyon Moments. {The Sun Princess Cruise.}

So, today, I went onto the Sun Princess Cruise ship and had a lovely lunch and self-tour. It was so much fun - the kids and I played imitation games in which we imitated the various artworks around the ship, we acted out different scenarios in every single room and on the decks (including the Titanic “I’m flying!”), we played in the arcade where I only won one game of Tekken 5 against Jerome, we sunbathed on the top deck, and of course, we ate yummy food. The reason we were able to get on was because of my Lolo Vic who is the Public Areas Supervisor, and it was really nice to see him after such a long time. 

Oh, and I saw my teacher there too. She looked a bit confused when she was talking to my aunt and uncle, since she probably thought they were my parents and I’m sure something along the lines of ‘hm, they look quite different from last time’ must have popped in her mind somewhere.

Guys, this is my reaction to reading the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy.
