I recently watched Guy Richie's Sherlock Holmes and its magnificent sequel, and will admit to being downright smitten with the intimate relationship Holmes and Watson share in this particular interpretation - what is it in the psychology behind the homosociality of bromance buddy-films that endears us to them?

Like every other character-building ground we may gain, it will absolutely require continual, aggressive reevaluation without provocation as a matter of preventative maintenance.

This is true, yet so very easy to forget from time to time.

Dialog however, is merely the gateway to the transcendent meta-intimacies.

People always tell me that communication is key in any relationship and I like to point out that that's true because its necessary to maintain trust and respect.

We haven't seen the second movie yet. Thank you for reminding me about it.

Have you seen this series? Its on Netflix

Its all about being mindful :)

I really enjoyed it. Hell, I enjoyed the first one again far more than the first time I saw it.

Have you seen this series?
Oh yes! We watched Season One on Netflix last year - is Season Two up? I much discover with much haste! And I included several tracks from the magnificent score on my recent Sherlock mix.

I meant the first season, but went and looked for the second after you asked. No such luck yet!

Did you see that the lead will be the voice of 'Smaug' in the upcoming hobbit flick?

Looking at your mix next. Thanks!

"Eudaimonia." No, YOU da monia.
Cute. And yet such a great word, too! Well, to those of us who identify with optimism.

I shared a Sherlock-Watson type of relationship with a college roommate.
I think these are some of the strongest; there are friends from my Air Force days I still connect with from time to time. Are you two still in touch?

Seriously, though, there is much food for thought here.
Why thank you!

Alexithymia: I think I know a couple people who may have that.
Yeah, you and me both. Its fascinating what I manage to learn in a day.

People often confuse the willingness to become physically vulnerable during the sexual act with the willingness to be emotionally vulnerable. While the emotional intimacy can occur during sex, it is not given. Many people can and do have sex without emotional intimacy
