Thanks Netflix

Recently I haven’t been reading the Divinci Code by Dan Brown. I have read most of his books and know how they end. He is an amazing writer but I just don’t feel like reading all the way through the end for the secret society or secret in the book to be wrong and someone to die. The middle part is super good and well written but the ending will be the normal type that he writes. Once you have read about three of his books it just becomes something to expect. So recently I have been watching unhealthy amounts of Netflix, mostly consisting of mysteries. These mysteries consist of the shows psych and Sherlock Holmes, and not that NBC crap version, Elementary. I watch the English BBC version which is about ten times better. I actually haven’t seen the NBC version but no one talks about it and if its anything like the other below par mediocre television programs that they feature I would be using my time more wisely by watching dragon which is definitely better than the NBC version of Sherlock Holmes. But back to the good version, it’s ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The script is perfect and the actors for the characters are so perfect it’s amazing. Better then Robert Downey Jr. was in the movies. The mysteries in the show are great, I can never just guess the answer and I’m always blown away by the solution. What happens in one episode will follow through into the next so it’s not like Scooby Doo where is gets boring and they just solve mystery after mystery, and no one questions the fact that they have a talking dog, who has a best friend that’s a human, named shaggy and they are always searching for food and they could over all; completely care less about the job at hand. But in Sherlock this isn’t true and because I love the show so much I thought wow I should read the book. So I’m going to try and read the books. I’m going to be super depressed if they aren’t as good as the shows which have set a high bar in my head. So in the end because I didn’t read the Divinci Code I ended up finding a book I will most likely enjoy. So yea, I guess I’ll try to read again since I have been inspired by horrible Netflix addiction. I have also taken up running to work on my figure and drop the 4 pounds I gained when I went through that phase.
