Ouch! Poor Bob!

Also, I would just like to say, for the record, fuck insomnia. I have to get up in less than three hours and commute an hour across LA, and my stupid brain will not shut up. Tomorrow...sorry, TODAY is not going to be pretty.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Eek! Poor Bob! I hope things heal over okay.

As for Sherlock, either the demisexual or asexual idea work for me. I could also see any possible physical sexual attraction being trumped by his being massively turned off by the person's relative lack of intelligence. In short, unless there was a strong emotional connection, we're talking about a very small pool of potential partners.

I agree that the cut regarding the cabbie makes little sense.

Also, I adore this version's Watson beyond all reason.

Thanks, MFNlaw! It looks like your airport is one hop from mine and could make for a fun cross-country. I'll let you know when I'm soloing.

I'm watching Sherlock now, and finding it tremendously fun. I especially like the focus on Watson. And the "3 patch problem". As I'm only partway through it, I don't think I can comment on the sexuality issue yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The cabbie did say Moriarty's name.

Poor Bob Bob! Yikes.

Forgot about the Sherlock series, went with an episode of Top Gear instead.

Benedict Cumberbatch

I keep thinking he should be a bunny in a Beatrix Potter story with that name.

Holmes was really well done. I liked it lots.

Art Crawl!!!

Speaking of ridiculous cuts - it turns out that in addition to cutting for time BBCA cut a pretty important plot point from one of the final episodes of season 2 of Being Human. (I'm posted what it is in Boxed Set.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I keep thinking he should be a bunny in a Beatrix Potter story with that name.

Or a retired Dread Pirate Roberts.

So Dillo threw up at 3am and did so repeatedly until about 7:30. Now, after test foods of water and crackers he is chowing down on noodles and seems to be in perfect health. He always recovers very quickly like this and is always totally fine. mr. flea says I should watch him a while longer and then take him to school. I just can't wrap my head around doing that, even though I am 99% sure he would be fine. What say all of you?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Our school has a 24hour vomiting rule, flea. I'd probably keep him home today.
