Holly Throsby, music, alarms, delicious, and thoughts on Holmes/Watson slash

[johnnypurple]

Have been listening to some Holly Throsby again after not listening to her for ages. It's really sweet, relaxed, quiet, mainly acoustic music and I used to have it come on in the mornings to wake me up because it's just that kind of music. Lovely to wake up to

Ah, Holmes/Watson, oh-so-obvious but slightly sadistic fin-de-siecle slash ftw :) I've read quite a bit and the 'other half' has read every word, and we can both confirm you are in for a slashy treat - have fun :)

[johnnypurple]

yay! it is really because of my flist that i felt the need to go out & get me some. so far it has been slashier than I expected. it's awesome!

also, if swing-set does not write the fic of James May!Holmes and faun!Richard Hammond!Watson, then - after some research - I may have to.

I need a Watson/Holmes icon now damnit! *grin* How are you?

[cenea]

OMG!!! I require somebody to write that fic now!!! *flutters eyelashes pleadingly at the pair of you*

I'm fine, thanks. Trying to write a rather dull excavation report which seems to be giving me writers block. Pah!

[johnnypurple]

Ros is also very enthused about that fic idea too. I fostered the bunny out to swing-set in exchange for the MPREG prompt she gave me. i dunno if she's writing it or not though. hmm. :)

a rather dull excavation report - but don't you get to mention the nuns who had farraris? also, nuns = cute + lesbians! omg trufax!

holmes/watson. FOR THE WIN I SAY.

and when you decide you want to watch them, let's find a download. or we can also watch the FILUM with prof. quirrel et al, as per my ranty post of rantiness.

missed catching up with you today, but getting home at reasonable hour and not drunk was needed. *floomps*

i want to edit this icon to include the words "code-word" (PS. that's you and me!)

[johnnypurple]

i have decided already! i want to watch them! book me in anytime after MIFF finishes! ok? it's a date. :D

yeah, i missed you & our usual routine today too. but the early & not drunk thing was needed here as well. i got home and a second later it started raining. you will notice my bath-time drink of choice - perhaps now i am hardwired into desiring whisky on a saturday?!

my name is potato

[nixwilliams]

we do need to have an icon-making fest. also WILLIE NELSON THE FAUN ELDER is not getting a lot of mainstream media attention, so, yeah.

now i'm going to re-read 'sabriel' and drink biscotti tea. and also whisky. not at the same time.

[swing_set]

Holmes and Watson are unbelieveably slashy, and that book especially has some lovely momentds. Have fun. ;)

[johnnypurple]

oh goodie! can't wait. and even though I'm sure i've seen a tv adaption of it at some stage, i can't rememeber the plot at all! Wheee! :D

so... have you been able to do anything with the TG/Holmes&Watson plot bunny?! :)

[blacktofade]

Looking over at your Delicious, it seemed like a nicer way to store bookmarks, so I have created one and added you :)

Holmes/Watson sounds pretty good, I might have to look further into that. *puts on slash goggles*

Cats are always like that. Actually, we have a really old dog who's even worse. She's been fed two dinners more than a few times, she's just so cheeky.

[johnnypurple]

You probably won't need your slash goggles. From what I have read so far it seems like one big love letter from Watson to Holmes. ;-)

Toby is a very cheeky cat. 'Cheeky' might was well be his middle name. Also, he's an incredibly pig - he's a tabby & I think it's in their genes. That's him in my icon! :D

[rhosyndu]

woo! for the H/W ghey!

*smushes the detective and the doctor together over and over and over until they start to object. Or kiss*

Actually, on a related note, I watched 3 of the Russian subtitled movies not too long ago (very nice - miles of unnecessary touching and lingering looks and embraces and things which made me :D like anything) and then went to bed and dreamt gratuitious sex scenes. And then woke up and couldn't tell if they were in the movie or not; I was mildly disappointed when I found out they weren't. But still, gratuitous sex dreams FTW!

Naughty Toby; we used to tap Blink on the nose with a rolled up paper, but I suspect she thought it was a fair exchange for extra chicken.

[johnnypurple]

oh wow! that's AWESOME! I want dreams like that. i might have to seek out these films (I'm sure Nix would be interested too). What do you mean 'Russian subtitled'?

There has already been mention of Watson being Holmes 'companion' - if that's not 19th century (or was it early 20th century) speak for 'same-sex life partner' I don't know what is! :D

Who's Blink? A cat or a dog... or a sister or...? Toby is extremely opportunistic. The cheeky little scamp.

[rhosyndu]

There were a series of Sherlock Holmes films done in Russian back in the mid 80s - they are, like most Holmes films, quite hilarious (though that might just be me and my tendency to giggle whenever someone is being Rather Terribly Serious). There're English subtitled versions about for us non Russian speakers [Three here: One, Two and Three] though they're tricky to get a hold of - I found two more, but sans subtitles. I would buy them, but at £65 for the whole series of something like 14 - it's a bit steep.

Not just his companion but also his 'intimate associate' if my mind recalls correctly. He may as well have just called him his wife and had done with it :)

Blink is the fluffy, tabby ball of death that lives with my parents and passes the days by trying to eat your head in the most affectionate and caring manner. But she looks cute while doing it, so we forgive her.
