trying to get up to go pee!!!!
yeah! sure! trivial you may say!!! but in this case I have to disconnect myself from a "game ready" which is a fancy machine designed to flush ice cold water over my leg for 30 minutes at a time... then carefully get out of bed making sure I have the bad leg (which is the outside leg) completely free of all obstacles. then
proceeding to the bathroom is much like leading a clown train. the 180 lb pup dances back and forth, stands on her hind legs and announces to all and sundry; "here's my Mom!!!!" runs around in a circle and does it at the back of the parade. the KindleKitten darts in and out tooting her celebratory horn *toot toot* LOOK IT'S OUR MOM!!!! does a few handstands... runs to the end of the parade route to check it out, comes back, informs me I'm slow, and does it all over again. the Walker, which has become just a damn nuisance is on a vendetta aimed primarily against Kindle Kitten, but occasionally the pup, not wanting to rest until it smashes tails and paws. the arrival at the throne is often met with a big old shaggy Newfie head IN the throne refreshing itself, and/or a Kindle Kitten standing on the edge, checking out the Newfie, and/or assuring me that she will ground guide my bottom (which hasn't missed in a LONG time!) safely to the comode.
then we get to do it all again in reverse!

I've been on the receiving end of more than one husband telling me I was chubby.

ugh! what a dissapointment! at least it was better than "Men Who Stare at Goats"!

Watson is, well, blank and doesn't have much character at all throughout the film. The story is flimsy at best, and the CSI-like crash-zooms into flashbacks and flash-forwards are annoying as hell. All of this takes place in a CGI London more fake than any I've seen before.

but Holmes is quite often portrayed as a dangerously erratic mentally ill individual. I think there was always the suggestion of "man crushes" in Conan Doyles works. as I recall, in the original stories, wasn't there only one even mere hint of a romantic liasion between Holmes and a woman?
