Ha ha ha! Love it!!

(But I think you meant Strauss. Unless that was meant to be one of those Sherlock-doesn't-need-to-know-about-the-solar-system kinds of things?)

[goldvermilion87]

Gah! I did mean Strauss. I know it's Strauss. And I STILL typed Schubert _more than once_. *headdesk*

Thank you SO MUCH for the head's up.

And I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Sherlock hates the solar system so much that he refuses to listen to Holst.

[goldvermilion87]

Poor guy.

(Now I'm dashing over to iTunes to turn on Holst!)

[litlover12]

Hee! You're probably right!

"Don't sing" *snickers* Oh, SHERLOCK.

[goldvermilion87]

At least he's honest?

:-P

Wait, THAT is "Also Sprach Zarathurstra"?! Seriously?! I never knew that! I only knew it as the theme to "2001: Space Odyssey."

[goldvermilion87]

It's the very opening. "Also Sprach Zarathustra" runs about 30 minutes. I actually think it's really boring after the first minute. :-P

(But then, I don't really like Romantic music -- much less late Romantic music.)

[frozen_delight]

Very nice! Can't decide which of the few precious sentences I like best.
Maybe:"She's -- Why do I bother?"
Maybe: "Also known as 'robots.' To normal people."
Or, of course *giggles*: "Don't sing."

:-D Glad you enjoyed it. The penultimate was my favorite to write. :-D
