The essay I was going to write about why Sherlock...
Whut.
But.
I don’t write fanfiction.
I haven’t written fanfiction since I was fourteen.
What. What. What am I doing.
What am I doing.
How did this happen.
In other news, I told my roommate I was writing a fanfiction where Sherlock is a Ravenclaw because of our disagreement, and she laughed and said “Excellent! I will write one where he’s Slytherin.”

von-questenberg replied to your post: About my roommate and me
I’ve given some serious thought to the question of whether Sherlock would have been a Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Sherlock has the moral ambiguity of Slytherin, but I don’t know that he’s ambitious enough. Could see Mycroft as Slytherin though.
Oh, I definitely think Mycroft is a Slytherin. And Moriarty. In my head that’s what...

About my roommate and me
One of my roommates and I have been roommates for three years. We are also best friends.
Now with any good friends who are also roommates, we sometimes argue.
But here’s what you need to understand.
We don’t argue about the dishes. We don’t argue about groceries. We don’t argue about parking spaces. We don’t argue about laundry. We don’t argue about each...

Follow me down the rabbit hole for a second:
I’ve long wondered if this - that women don’t recognize the symptoms of a heart attack in themselves, and consequently don’t get the fast care that is vital for heart attack survival - is the reason heart disease is the #1 killer in women. Women statistically take better care...

Remember Korean cable channel OCN’s trailer for Sherlock season 1? (If you don’t, just…watch)
Here’s their trailer for season 2, just released.
They totally ship love triangle & angst.

OK, I just found out from my dashboard about the whole Billy Crystal black face debacle. I don’t have cable, so there ya go. WTF, Billy Crystal?! Anywho, I found this article about it, and there’s a poll that asks, “What did you think of the blackface moment?” The results are not encouraging:
So could we get some more intelligent...

I sort of wanted to wait on posting a link to this blog post until after I finished my Gally write-up, but I’m just wayyyyy too excited that this is a thing that exists and that I was a part of at the con. I also have thinky-thoughts on the ideas raised in the article but I think I’ll wait to share those on my Gally Sunday write-up.

Oscar thought
tardis-stowaway:
When The Artist won the Oscar for Best Picture, the dog from the movie was included in the cast and crew brought onstage. Does this mean that if War Horse had won they would have brought on the horse?
If the final award presentation featured a horse and Benedict Cumberbatch on the stage, it would have improved the Oscar broadcast immeasurably. War Horse wasn’t the best movie...

Sudden thought that occurs
Okay so
over the weekend I was at Gallifrey One. Which is a really fun convention.
And on the last night, Toby Haynes (director of many Doctor Who episodes and also Sherlock’s Reichenbach Fall) came up to our group of ladies and hung out with us (HE APPROACHED US; IT WAS AMAZING) and bought us all drinks and stuff (I wasn’t planning on having another drink, actually, but then Toby...

He was totally just being himself. The sword was left out on the floor after one of our parties or something. Godric saw it and was like, “I Shall Lay Here And Claim This Sword As Mine”. And I was like “OMG ADORBS” and took a...
