Sherlock vid - These Days
I'm actually just recently back from some conferences in London (with a side trip to Barcelona) and so I do have a couple of travelogue entries to write up in the (hopefully) not too distant future ( Read more... ) -
I generally don't like to deride films or TV shows on the basis of so little info...
... but in this case, I might have to make an exception.
According to Variety, there are plans to make a movie (franchise?) about a youthful version of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, starring Jennifer GarnerI know. It's got to be a joke, right? I mean there's not enough boggle in the world to match what my mind produced upon reading that. Got ( Read more... ) -
Moments of Melancholy
A rare melancholic post from me. My life really isn't too bad, but some sad stuff is going on around me.
There's been an earthquake across the Tasman in Christchurch which is a city I'm rather fond of, having visited a friend who lives there a few times. Thankfully, my friend, Nic, and her family are safe and well and staying with family further ( Read more... ) -
Sherlock fic: The Game's Afoot
Title: The Game's Afoot
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Author: derry667
Disclaimer: It's all rather petty to talk about who owns what, don't you think? Shakespeare, Doyle, Gatiss, Moffat, the BBC, whoever. They all own various parts of this stuff. Not me. I'm not responsible. Ask anyone.

Muppet Sherlock Holmes icons (and one Doctor Who one - kinda, sorta)
Thanks to that kind and generous enabler killerweasel, I have recently read some of the Muppet Sherlock Holmes comics. And in my ecstatic thanks for this munificence, I mentioned that some icons really needed to be made from said comics. Then killerweasel added encouragement to enabling - and so...
It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights.

NYC and Boston
Well. Some more of the travelogue? Why not?
So, Jan and I left Hollywood, and flew into New York City to spend a few days with my friends Mog and Chris and their dog HB who moved to Brooklyn earlier this year.

Halloween in Hollywood and other LA stories
Well, hello! I began to write this up at Boston Logan Airport more than a week ago, but it's taken me a while to post it. And now I'm back home, getting back in to the swing of things at work - and getting swamped by it (this is always our busiest time of year ( Read more... ) -
Sorta pseudo parodies of the 2009 SH Movie - Sherlockified
Yes, what the HELL does that mean?
Well, basically, I was messing around with Photoshop, wanting to make myself an icon or two (*points to new icon*) and, well, originally I was sorta kinda thinking of maybe making some by cut-&-splicing images for the BBC Sherlock with the following posters for the Sherlock Holmes movie from last Christmas.

Liverpool, Blackpool and Bewdley - and did I mention the beer?
Okay, I've lost count how many times I've started typing this up - on the train from Worcester, twice at Heathrow, on the plane back to Oz, last night when I got back home, and now that I've gone back to work and back on the road again. *heavy sigh* Ah, whatever, it'll get there eventually. And I've been awake since 3am - gotta love jetlag. Not ( Read more... ) -
Yorkshire, Lancashire and Days of Beer and Roses
Okay, not so many roses. But having spent time in both the territories of the Wars of the Roses, I just couldn't resist. And there wasn't THAT much beer either - just a little, y'know. Well, the spider is incorrigble...
