Weekly digest (5/27/11)
Long weekends always in the nick of time, don’t they? I’m off to the farm to move fencing around! Or something!
- Read it. I’m almost done with Skippy Dies, a really great Irish modern comedy. If you liked About a Boy, or the Adrian Mole books, or just feel the need for some dark laughter, check it out. Paul Murray is a fantastic observer.
- Saw it. These Sherlock Holmes new miniseries are so fantastic! It reminds me much of House (which, you know, was based on Doyle’s stories… House/Homes, get it?). Much better than the Robert Downey Jr. reboot that I fell asleep in. Currently streaming on Netflix! (And review to come…)
- Heard it. A very legal little bird lent me the new Bon Iver and I am obsessed. Feeling blue, too. I sure hope that guy gets enough sunshine.
