But how many holes does it take to fill the Albert Hall?
I've never had the hang of making 'so this was my day' type posts, because, really, my days are pretty spectacularly uneventful. To give you an idea, here is a sample day in the life of marah_sarie:
Get up. Check LJ/tumblr/twitter/etc. Re-watch severa's new Sherlock fanvid like three times. Eat breakfast. Get ready. Decide there's an absolute pressing need to start listening to the Bert Coules BBC Radio 4 Sherlock Holmes series again RIGHT NOW, and end up leaving late for work due to fight with iTunes in the process of transferring the files back onto the iPod. Realise I have absolutely no idea how many of them I've listened to before or where I am with them, and so settle on just re-listening to The Reigate Squires because a) it's a good story, b) it has Swooning!Holmes and Protective!Watson, and c) bonus!Peter Davison.
(Random aside: Is there anyone else who's listened to this? If so, am I the only one feeling the need for some Holmes/Detective Forrester? I mean, they totally have a mutual fanboying session over each other, for serious. How often does Holmes go about lavishing praise on a small-town country detective, I ask you? Especially one described as "young-faced" and played by Peter Davison. Yes, yes, not fair to Watson, who gets to spend this whole story convinced that Holmes is on the brink of a complete breakdown, but I say again: played by Peter Davison.)
Anyway. Actually do some work. Decide to keep re-reading Valley of Fear on Gutenberg during lunch, but realise I'm at the really fucking boring flashback part, so give it up to start re-reading HOUN. Do some more work. Go to the gym (which is too loud to properly listen to Clive Merrison's melodious tones, so try to pick up where I left off with The Marian Conspiracy, because I have no such problems hearing C. Baker over the noise of exercise machines). Finish listening to Reigate Squires on the way home. Have left-overs for dinner. Feed the cats. Watch severa's vid again. Watch the Daily Show. Write post. And then probably watch some more vids and then go make a quiche so I have something to take for lunch tomorrow and then go to bed.
Wash, rinse, and repeat tomorrow.
