Twitter is having a whole lot of fun with The Sound of Music.
Dr. Jill Biden just tweeted this:
That awkward moment when you sign up your friend's family to sing for an audience of nazis.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.
'Same Time, Same Place'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Also, I've had Biko stuck in my head since 5 today. The Joan Baez live version. I guess it is one of the protest songs I most associate with the Mandela era. Several years ago, I was at the Smithsonian folklife festival, South Africa being one of the featured countries. A bunch of South African women in saris and other indonesian costumes explained the song's history, the Xhosa lyrics, and led a sing along that made me cry.
It seems so appropriate now.
You can blow out a candle/But you can't blow out a fire/Once the flames begin to catch/The wind will blow it higher/Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko/Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja {come spirit}/The man is dead

Our wings are not tired.
Amy, that made me laugh much that I went to look - and that's a parody account for the awesome Doctor.

WHOAWHOAWHOA. Because it needs repeating. I thought I knew what you were WHOAWHOAWHOAing and then I got to the next scene.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
She's his protege but got mixed up with the other side. Or an other side, anyway. It's kind of convoluted.
On the whole, I think I'm glad I went with Elementary. I wonder if that opening scene was *less* horrifying if you watch it regularly.

Starting Elementary, though I should be going to bed. I love how in the Sherlock POV Joan is schlepping around in raggedy t-shirts and denim.
