I finally got my fridge fixed. Apparently a door gasket wasn't sealed, creating the ice crystals on the hinge. The repair guy sealed it with some type of heat gun. So glad I was still in warranty.
I got my Sherlock Holmes Nook Book, but haven't finished assembling it yet, because I was working all weekend. I put together the bookstore part with the rotating window. I got my little Watson assembled, but his cane doesn't fit his hand well. I might substitute Irene's umbrella instead. Love the stickers.
I did manage to see the new Wes Anderson movie. I haven't liked his story-within-a-story framing devices lately, so I skipped a lot of his recent films. But the new Phoenician Scheme is more straightforward, only cutting away to dreams/visions of heaven each time the character Korda has a near-death experience. I liked the whimsical charm, and Michael Cera's character is fun. But I don't know where exactly this 1950s Phoenicia is supposed to be. I didn't get a good look at the map.
Oh speaking of Michael Cera, I heard that Barbie made a new Allan doll, but is only selling it in Australia. Not the same face as the 1960s original, but it would be a good way to get a similar rainbow outfit, if I could find it on ebay or somewhere. I hope Mattel will let US stores get it.
I'm excited for the finale of Sherlock & Daughter this week. The recent episodes have been good, and I was glad to see Watson rescued at last. Meanwhile Dougray Scott has been incredible as Moriarty. I hated him when he played the father in Batwoman, but he has earned a lot of goodwill back with his professor. I haven't been this pleased by a Moriarty actor since Jared Harris in Game of Shadows in 2011.
