Oct. 22nd, 2007 11:00 amMore adventures in having an IMDB brain: I rented Sharpe's Enemy, and I recognized the actor playing the scant role of the rocket-battalion lieutenant as being Young Sherlock Holmes. I cannot possibly overstate the cheese factor of that movie. It's like a fanfiction that they made into a movie: young Holmes and Watson meet at boarding school where they solve a great mystery together and part on good terms with the promise of greater things to come. The mystery involved a cult of mummy worshippers or something.
I used to love that movie. Yes, I am embarrassed for myself--or would be if I had any shame.

Staying up all night is not easy, and I shouldn't do it often. It is made easier by watching Dexter, however. I've already seen season one, but I managed to stay awake until almost 7 am on Sunday rewatching it.
This makes the umpteenth night I've stayed awake for no good reason. Versus all of two I can ever remember staying awake to actually accomplish something.

I got to play with fabric dye this weekend! It was fun and less messy than I'd anticipated. Unfortunately, the piece I most wanted to dye proved resistent. I managed to get a spare sock the exact right color I wanted, but 100% polyester clothing does not like the dye. The best it got was a slight tinge. It's lucky that it's not a hideous color or anything, but I'm still disappointed. I will have to see about getting something that can actually tackle the polyester.
But clothing dye? OMG so much fun! And a good reason to keep the odd sock or two to experiment with.
