Today I was bored so after cleaning my thermos cup (my folks keep taking it and putting coffee in it and I still haven't got the smell out) with boiling water and making some soup for lunch I decided to go out. I wound up going to a movie with L.G. Since I had already seen them all I said I would rather see Sherlock Holmes again out of all of them. She kept whining and saying that she didn't want to because she was forced to read the book in high school and it was soo boring. I said she was prejudiced because the mere fact that it was a school assignment automatically caused her to hate it and anything associated with it. I convinced her to see Sherlock Holmes. She admitted that it was o.k. She does this every time I pick a movie. First she whines she doesn't want to see it, then she says it will be horrible, then we see it, she says it was o.k. and a couple weeks later it was totally awesome and she can't wait to get it on dvd.
Meanwhile, we stayed for the credits and I was able to identify the song that plays when Holmes is fighting that guy in the boxing ring. It was Rocky Road to Dublin as performed by the Dubliners. I should have known. I know the version done by the Gaels. I can totally play that tune on my tin whistle, which I did when I got home. Now if only my brother and his friend would turn off the t.v. so I could get some sleep I might be able to get it out of my head.
