Haven't been kicking around fandom recently, mainly due to RL. Social lives, such as they are, need to be watered, and work - ugh. There's always that. Working at a school ensures my unemployment during the summer, so I've gone back to housecleaning on the side (the knees are not thanking me for that, let me tell you) and just put in an application ( Read more... )

I happened to come across this adaptation I was previously unaware of while searching through YouTube for something else entirely, and to say I was pleasantly surprised would be a grievous understatement. This was actually quite good, and I confess to having skipped through parts of the first few minutes until the deductions began - that scene ( Read more... )

I have such an unholy annoyance right now I am either going to fling this piece of tripe I am reading at the wall - unwise, as it's going straight into ye olde 'sell' pile -or vent my spleen on this much-neglected LJ ( Read more... )

Since I will be leaving early tomorrow to be with family for the weekend, thought I might might as well pimp out my Holmestice fic for any interested parties. Planning to take my laptop on this excursion, and with any luck there is a slim chance of me actually catching up on all the lovely fic posted for this round. And Happy Fourth to all my ( Read more... )

Have not had such a brain-devouring one in many a long year. But the spark of it came to me in a dream, which led to an idea, then an entire series of dreams that practically scream "write this or it shall haunt you for eternity".

The only question remaining is what to do about it, because even by my standards, it is exceedingly strange :/

Nearly 3,000 words into my fic for acd_holmesfest and the plot is still meandering about like a drunken sailor >:| And to think I had such a clear plot bunny, made a nice, straightforward outline, knew exactly where I wanted this one to go. Well, to be fair, all the blathering does have a destination, it just won't hurry up and get there already. The sinus ( Read more... )

Please excuse me for bemoaning fate and being negative, but this was truly a craptacular weekend.

On Friday, I finally broke it off with a guy who I've had a friends with benefits thing with for the past 2 1/2 years. My biological clock won't shut up, I'm sick of being in such a casual relationship, and the sex was getting horiffic, mostly because I ( Read more... )

Oh boy. Benedict Cumberbatch has been saying some... interesting whiny things lately, though I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt even if I don't necessarily agree with their opinions. Maybe he was misquoted every single time. Who knows, who cares - I'm not one to pry into celebrities lives or give much of a $*** re: interviews with ( Read more... )

Has anyone seen this yet? The original pilot script from CBS’s Elementary back in 2000? If not, here it is, in all it’s dumbed down and idiotic dialogued glory:

ELEMENTARY PILOT

( More general curmudgeonliness under the cut... )

Writing a scene in my pastiche (after a month of being stagnated on it!) that consists of Holmes waking his poor, long-suffering medico up at some ungodly hour, and even though it's going to be a ridiculously brief few sentences, there are a few technical details niggling at me. Specifically, I know Watson's bedroom was upstairs, but does anyone ( Read more... )
