Oi!
So, I haven't posted in...oh, three millenia? But I have been doing stuff. A lot of that stuff involves Sherlock from the BBC. Specifically, writing fanfiction for Sherlock from the BBC. Here's a link:
Link.
Check it out if you've scads of free time, because I'm just as verbose in fiction form as I am in blog form.
In OTHER news. Planning to move to Oklahoma. Tentatively at the end of May/beginning of June. Pray for me. Sacrifice a goat if you have to.
Largely back because, apparently, my pseudo-not-quite-kinda-almost-brother-in-law says I'm funny. And, hey, if you've got one fan you've got an excuse to keep on.
Also, I have a whole bunch of new Sherlock icons gathered from the far corners of LJ, and I want an excuse to use them. See! Here's one now! Hi!
Ooh, this is harder than I thought. Stupid twitter, training me to keep updates 140 char. or less! Ooh! I know! Stuff I'm into right now.

This nifty site is chock full of peoples who review things and make me laugh. I'm especially fond of The Nostalgia Critic and Linkara (Linkara largely because he shares my love of Power Rangers and proves just how legitimate the show can be!)

Because you can never have too many sulky bats. Defies concise description, you'll just have to mosey on over yourself.
Stephen Fry.
Dude. It's Stephen. Bloody. Fry. If you're not into him you need your head examined. In fact, these days I'm just into England in general.
The new Doctor.
How, Moffat? How on EARTH did you manage to find an actor who could make me forget all about David Tennant? Well, okay, I'll never forget about David Tennant, but Matt Smith ensures that I don't really miss him. Speaking of:
Steven Moffat. And Mark Gatiss. And Paul McGuigan.
No links for these, but they are the two primary writers of Sherlock as well as the DP...or possibly just the Director, I'm not sure. Anyway, I already ADORE Moffat's writing on Doctor Who, and I'll have to keep an eye out for Gatiss episodes now, as well. I don't know which ones he's done off hand. But together they made Sherlock into something spectacular. But the real astonishment here is Paul McGuigan. I have never, and I mean NEVER genuinely felt blown away by the artistic direction of a film or television programme in my life. Sherlock changed all that with McGuigan's unbearably gorgeous vision. Everything from the transitions to the wipes to the lighting to the set design to the bloody wallpaper in 221b Baker Street is breathtaking and memorable. I don't know who is responsible for the score off-hand, but that's remarkable as well.
Seriously, if you haven't seen Sherlock yet, you need to. You're only hurting yourself. And by the by, if you've seen the Doctor Who Christmas Special, you know what Sherlock's deductions are like, only without the arrogance. That scene with the chair and the portrait? That's Sherlock. Only...cuddlier. And minus the fantastic floating text.
Well, I've gone on enough now, speak your piece and I'll catch...you...later.
P.S. Also, I have a sonic screwdriver. You wish you were me.
