Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cool, Burrell. I hope the TiVo works out for you. Let's arrange something by email to meet up when you have time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Really, Tep? I still have to watch on HD but I dug

I was expecting someone more...smooooov. He seemed all kinds of unbalanced. Which makes sense, given the character, and yet -- despite the fact that unbalanced is more appropriate, I just expected more smoov.

Plus the resemblance to Giovanni Ribisi was unnerving, and he always reminds me of a rodent on crack, twitchy and weaselly. So that comparison is not a good one for ol' Moriarty.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Aims, I may have some old Barbie clothes, and I KNOW we have some old blow-up Barbie sized furniture to play house with. No dolls though, let me know if you want pics or what.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Olbermann returning Tuesday:Phil Griffin, president of msnbc television, said he had deliberated about Olbermann’s status for several days."I have determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night's program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy. We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night."

And I'm sure the 250,000+ signature petition and other public pressure had nothing to do with it. It just turned out that was the appropriate punishment. Jeez, don't know why everybody made such a big deal.

No, my sarcasm tag seldom closes.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

nor do I love his portrayal and accent and enunciation (he sounded drunk).

The accent's basically his natural one. Just with a thin layer of creeper on top.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Plei, you misspelled THICK and awesome . But, yeah, full on creeper .

Man, my fictional prefs say some really bad things about me.

Tep I am looking forward to watching and wonder if seeing bigger than my laptop will change how I see it. Previous eps, I've just loved more and this was my favorite, so. It'll be interesting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think the first one's my favorite, just because it's so solid. But maybe I should rewatch "The Great Game" to make sure.

Damn, I am so glad we were talking about Sherlock here. I hadn't set tonight up to record. I should only have missed part of the intro, none of the show. Well, and the two years of my life that got scared off.

edit: DAMN! Missed just the barest bit. But I want to have this to pet and love and ... hi, Sherlock. ::goes to happy place::

I think The Great Game has some of my favorite bits.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Random associations with the Natter conversation: I have had cake this weekend, which we made for the nephews. I have also been watching bees, as I put on David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth for our guests. (They're currently on the Silk Spinners. Lacewings have been laying eggs on stalks.) I have neither shepherd's pie nor Anzac biscuits, though I did have a meat pie for lunch yesterday. Today I has a toasted tuna sandwich, with cheddar cheese.

The lastest piece of wisdom: it's easy to repair holes when you have an almost unlimited supply of silk in your legs.
