I'm back!

Okay, to be fair, I've been back for a while now, but I've barely been around on tumblr; I have a Master's thesis to edit before my study director sends it into the inferno of Elizabethan Academia, and I've been preparing to leave for London in less than - oh god, a little less than a month now. Remember two months ago when I said I was ( Read more... )

First year Master's thesis is motherfucking done. All 40K of it, baby.

I handed it in a few days ago, defended it yesterday afternoon; turns out I got an excellent mark and my study director wants to nominate it for an Elizabethan Studies distinction. HOW DID MY CONCERNED RAMBLINGS ABOUT KATHERINA MINOLA TURN INTO THIS I DO NOT KNOW.

In other news: I ( Read more... )

Taking a few minutes off Shakespeare and Katherina to consider Arthur Conan Doyle and Joan Watson: a quick outlook on Elementary (mostly because this question is asked me a lot these days? not sure why there's a sudden outpouring of What do you think about Elementary, Sara).

So! Considering this preview:

( why are these things always turning out to be incredibly long? )

I have done all the things. April is always an exceedingly busy month on my end, but this year, for some reason, it was exceptionally so.

I've signed up for holmestice (because another deadline is just what I need), submitted my end-of-year dissertation's first draft to my study director (which is due in June, because more deadlines! mother of god), saw a ( Read more... )

This was intended as a form of introduction for the S2 meta, but after several rewrites of it it simply didn't seem to fit, so I'm putting it up now, perhaps as a prologue. See, ASiP remains my favourite episode pretty much on par with TRF, and I find the echoes between both of these episodes to be fascinating, but upon closer reflection ASiP ( Read more... )

Shamelessly stolen from fuyu_no_fuhei: Posting the names of all the files in my Sherlock WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Choose one (or a few, I don't care), and I will post a random line or two.

In no particular order of completion, importance, or capitalization:

• The Light Discontinued
• Our Hugest Home

• Derringer Sky; android ( Read more... )

A few words on Let's Kill Hitler.

I watched it on telly on Saturday night (London. London was gorgeous), and then watched it again yesterday evening, which gave it focus, I think; I certainly liked it better than I did the first time around. I've still got mixed feelings on a number of things, though, and I do believe it could be very much better, ( Read more... )

Right, so. I have:

• finished my finals;
• gone to the Sherlock meet-up;
• and slept for three days straight.

Because, dear god, I needed it.

Alllllso, I have now had the confirmation that I start up work at a publishing company on Monday, which is... slightly more terrifying than a zombie apocalyspe.

How am I going to survive this. (By doing this Sherlock ( Read more... )
