I Like Detective Stories. And Detectives.

Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge. You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly, and with no extra bits or useless parts. I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes out of order; shake the dustbin and it adjusts itself beautifully to its new position.
-Robertson Davies, Tempest-Tost

Just the usual fangirl geekery, with quite a high level of ridiculousness. You know, Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, Cabin Pressure, Frankenstein, science stuff, about a million books, a slightly high level of curiosity, and a Cheshire cat for good measure. I have no control over my enthusiasm. Oh, and sometimes I inflict my art on you. Sorry.
In the words of Neil Gaiman in Sandman: The weirdness has been getting worse.
Oh, and anyone who guesses who the writing lady in the sidebar image gets nothing in particular, but tell me if you know...

This is a totally unfounded opinion on something I sort of don’t want to get involved in, but here it is anyway: The only problem I have with the casting of Lucy Lui in Elementary is that I can see her playing Holmes, with Jonny Lee Miller as Watson, more easily than I can imagine her playing Watson, with Miller as Holmes. I have no idea why, but I’d be way more excited about it if the roles were reversed, it just makes more sense to me. (shrugs and withholds further opinions until the thing has actually been made and viewed.)

I don’t know, the only thing I can say for certain, is that it’ll be interesting…
