I did something yesterday I hadn't done in three or four years - I went to a movie in a theater. I can't even remember the last one - maybe "Goodnight and Good Luck"? - it had just become too much of a challenge, getting to a theater, parking, unloading the walker and hobbling in, getting in and out of the seats....so when a friend suggested going to see "Sherlock Holmes" and offered to help with the wheelchair, I jumped (as it were) at the opportunity.

The experience was odd - I don't remember things being so vertiginous, even the 'coming attractions', and the picture was *HUGE* and the sound was so *specifically* located - the horses' hoofbeats came from *there* and the voice came from *over there* - either these things have changed or I just don't remember them correctly. Very strange!

But I did enjoy the film a lot. I'd been looking forward to seeing it for - well, ever since friends started posting links to previews, and it did not disappoint. They're so very married, and so co-dependent, and so appealing! I kept getting House/Wilson flashes - art imitating art imitating art?

So now I'm ready for the fanfic I've been avoiding for so long because I hadn't seen the film. Any recs? I'm sure there's great stuff out there - deep appreciation if you can help lead me to it!

I just had to share - it's adorable, and it's REAL. It's apparently somewhere in Queens, and Tweeters are advocating using it as a White Collar location, which I think is a great idea!

USA Network has been pretty awesome about providing access to fans, and this one was amazing. Matt and Tim appeared to be having fun answering pre-screened questions (on file cards) and burst into song on several occasions - one of the questions was to Tim, 'Does Peter see Neal as a sort of wayward son?' and they instantaneously broke into duet singing it! There were lots of moments that had me laughing out loud and clutching my heart - Tim mentioned one of his fantasies would be to have Neal and Peter trapped in an elevator, Matt thought it would be cool if Neal had to pretend to be Peter and Peter pretended to be Neal - !!!!!!! Lots of singing and laughing and patting each other on the back...check it out, it WILL make you happy.

Never seen Bonnie Hunt before, but found the link on FB and it's a cute interview:

Matt Bomer on Bonnie Hunt

**SPOILER ALERT - includes a clip from tonight's episode!**

I don't normally do recs but this one is too good not to pass along:

It is hugely wonderful and hugely hot and must be read right away. That is all.

USA Network will be showing all the existing episodes of White Collar starting tonight at 11, continuing through the day tomorrow and culminating with the NEW episode at 10 tomorrow. If you haven't seen this FABULOUS new show, now's your chance to catch up. Trust me, it's worth it!

(And I SO need a White Collar icon...)

And to all a good season...

In a bit of a panic, since last night the puter kept refusing to boot with a 'Operating System Not Found' blue screen. Very thankful that it came up today, but not feeling sanguine about its ultimate health...please don't let me have killed another computer!!! (So if I fail to return, it may not just be indolence and sloth...)
