Lightning-quick fill for this one, because I'm in a playful mood.
...
I put the carrier bags from Tesco down on the landing and fumble for my key. I can hear Holmes' music through the door. It's Rachmaninov, one of those ponderous, sweeping piano concerto sort of pieces. It makes me think that Holmes fancies himself to be a sort of Victorian-era madman, fopping around an attic room in a puffy shirt.
Not that I know anything about classical music. That's Holmes' area. All I know is that I like listening to Bob Dylan in the daytime, like any normal professional man in his early thirties. Okay, maybe once when I was drunk I put on Bob Seger and danced around clumsily, but seriously. My taste in music is a hundred times less crazy than Holmes

Later on, we eat. Holmes pushes away his meal half-finished and lights another fag. I glance around the room: the gleaming sink, the dirty dishes piled next to it.
"Holmes." I take a deep breath. "Have you thought about taking on another case soon? I'm sure you'd be able to find something, and then things would be a little easier, money-wise." I wonder how long it's been since he was outside.
"All you ever do is harp on at me," Holmes says, taking a drag on his cigarette, his eyes narrowed to slits. He puts in a squeaky Scottish accent. He sounds like my Grandmother. "Get a job, Holmes. Stop snorting so much blow, Holmes, we can scarcely afford it. Clean the old pizza boxes off the toilet cistern, HolmesI take a deep breath, chewing my food very slowly. Holmes doesn't deal with anger well. He'll spend the whole night cleaning specks off the television screen. Meanwhile, I can't move three steps in this dump without gathering a dust bunny or an odd sock or an old violin string

Poor OCD (but well-written) Holmes! D:
The phone in the Ziploc was the icing on the cake; I live with someone who Ziplocs everything from clothing to loose change so that nothing gets "cross-contaminated". OMG, you captured that vice well. Bravo!

It is still SHkinkmeme. Chat is weird like that. Sometimes you'll go in and there are a BILLION people, sometimes it will be empty. Apparently it was really slow yesterday, you're the second person I've heard this from.

Also, I went into the chatroom once yesterday and once today, and it's been empty both times. Is it still SHkinkmeme?
