Week Ending 1/28

 OK, so what happened this week... 

I discovered that putting the vaporizer on high helps me to sleep better and actually slept great most of the week. 

I stopped watching House MD, mid season 3 because it appears that is the point where I lose interest. Really, I think House would have been a lot better if they had followed the Law & Order model and focused more on the mystery and not the characters. (According to Juno, this is not a new thought on my part... it's been a while since I watched House.)

Juno pointed me to a new show to watch - Elementary (another modern day take on Sherlock Holmes). Four episodes in and I'm enjoying it. However, I don't think it being a modern take on Holmes actually helps it. Holmes is the archetype of the quirky detective... you don't actually need to name your detective Sherlock Holmes to follow that archetype. 

Also, I think modern tellings of Holmes put too much emphasis on his drug use. Yeah, it's an element of the character but not a central one that everyone has to harp on.

OK, so I've been watching a lot of TV this week. 

In other news, D has a cold/flu/coughing-thing. He's been pretty wretched the last few days. He has, kindly, been wearing a mask when around us. Sadly, I think whatever bug he's got was sneakier... 'cause I'm pretty sure I've caught it. Feeling OK-ish, just run down and scratchy throat. Planning on taking it easy for the foreseeable.

So, that's the excitement this week.

Onward.
