Good Day

I faffed arounda bit this morning, had lunch with my mom, and then H came over again. We made a DELICIOUS dinner (pictures may be posted later, it was that good) and are now watching movies. First up was Moon Child a Japanese vampire dystopian movie (which totally does not even begin to describe this movie) and are now watching the original Sherlock pilot.

Dinner was my tomato-chickpea-spinach soup soup with naan, which went mostly uneaten because H made the most amazing sort-of bruschetta with onions, garlic, shitake mushrooms, and white wine on french bread with parsley, scallions, and parmesan cheese. *swoon* I want to marry her, seriously.

I also made peanut butter surprise cookies that, while tasting good, looked like crap, sadly. And tea. The tea was great :)

Moon Child was very... wtf. But engaging. And I am going to be heading to google after I finish this post to find the picture of the group at the beach because that was adorable. And I like the HYDE/Gackt duet at the end a whole lot.

Sherlock pilot - so weird seeing Sherlock a bit more self-aware and purposefully humorous. I don't dislike it, but I do like the official pilot. I tend to prefer whatever I'm first exposed to, though.

I loved Moon Child... possibly because Hyde/Gackt makes me giddy like a school girl lol :D it's been ages since I last saw it, too! I should dig up my old laptop and rewatch

Definitely should rewatch :)

I love all the extra stuff that they added to the eventual Study in Pink. I also think the longer version benefits from the fact that the actors had already been playing the characters during filming of the original pilot, so they feel more "settled" in the characters' skins. I'm glad they provided the pilot so I could see it, but I far prefer the longer version.

Agreed. I loved looking for the similarities in the apartments (the skull, the chairs) as well as the differences.

The longer length and extra scenes in the official/longer pilot add so much to the story.
