I had a bit of free time (not really, but I so don't want to do work right now) so I threw together a new pattern for my background. I've been wanting to give my journal a makeover for some time now. So what do you think: too many telephones? Telephone overkill? Quite possibly. I'm not sure how long I'll keep it like this, but for now, I'm enjoying ( Read more... )

Back in January, when I was planning out my Sherlock parties, I asked a friend with some knowledge of classical music if he would make a Sherlock-appropriate violin mix. Well, he loves making mixes, so he delivered in spades with liner notes and everything. But my favorite part was what he named the mix:

No Shit, Sherlock: Some Good Movements

I don't ( Read more... )

I just watched the premiere of Legend of Korra, and I am so excited for the rest of this show! I don't have anything particularly insightful to say, other than how much I enjoyed it. I love all the characters they've introduced so far, I love all the little tie-ins to the original show, and it looks like it's going to get deliciously dark later on ( Read more... )

Why, oh why, do I keep getting into British fandoms? I'm sure I embarrass myself with blatant Americanisms all the time. But at least in Harry Potter I never had to worry about release dates that were five months later.

And by "found" I mean I've been sucked in by the same voracious reading and single minded focus that grabbed me when I started reading Harry Potter fic. I've tried poking around other fandoms before (*pokes Doctor Who and Torchwood*) but there is a difference between reading the ( Read more... )

Recently, I got around to watching the three episodes that make up the new Sherlock. And I couldn't help comparing the character dynamic to Doctor Who, and that led me to wondering about Sherlock/Doctor Who crossover fic. But since I'm not in either fandom, I don't know where I would begin to look (and I don't have the time to dig). So then I got ( Read more... )

Happy 2010, friends and fandom! May it be filled with love, opportunity and plenty of squee.

Movie excitement is in the air. And yes, I'm quite excited about the movie, even though I'm trying to keep my expectations low. It's mostly a good excuse to hang out with friends and fans and relive the books, then leave the theater debating all the ways the director went wrong. :) In the spirit of things, I've added hbpchallenge and azkatrazathome to my flist, both of ( Read more... )
