First of all, here are some pics from october, when I visited the Holmes' museum. I quite liked the decoration of some corners and I even got a pic with pseudo-Watson (not that he looked at all like Watson should -not even the clothes!- but well, let's not be too picky about it *ahem*).
So this is how 221B Baker Street looks like nowadays =>> )
I'd love to be in London this weekend for the Sherlock fan meet-up~

Also, I'm not sure how I got to find out about this Versus series but they're hilarious. I'm not sure either what kind of association can result in a Saw vs. Sherlock Holmes duel... Guess some minds work in mysterious ways:


I must admit I feel a little affronted by the treatment of dear Watson here...

(Ps: You should also watch the one about Frodo vs Harry Potter XD)

And finally, gorgeous Sherlock fics of the last two weeks:

* The Velveteen Doctor by [livejournal.com profile] lantean_drift, in which John is like a bright, brilliant flash of colour in an otherwise greyscale world for Sherlock.

* Fearful Symmetry by [livejournal.com profile] irisbleufic, in which there's John/Sherlock, Harry, Mycroft, Sarah, Mrs. Hudson, et al. and it's absolutely delightful.

* The Whore of Babylon Was a Perfectly Nice Girl by out_there. This. You should read it if you haven't yet. It's not the version of Sherlock I usually picture in my head but it's awesome. Angsty and hot.

* The Heart In The Whole by [livejournal.com profile] verityburns. WIP in which Sherlock is blind and John helps. All kinds of lovely and oh god, the UST!

Have I mentioned they're gorgeous? Because they are <3

Should be training right now but I don't feel like it, too lazy today -...my sensei would smack me on the head but, in my defense, I'll say I had to wake up too early for my taste and it's awfully windy to go anywhere. On the other hand, it's being a weird summer: nor vacation abroad with friends like other years and, surprisingly enough, nor archaeological excavation either. I've been working there every summer during the last eight years, with its highs and lows, so it's kind of disconcerting to think about an August working at home. Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna miss some people but it's liberating to count with more time to work on my thesis: I'm reaching that point where all I want is to finish the damn big thing. And this way I could book a few days to relax.

And yet, of course I have my little pleasures: Of course, I'm utterly in love with the new BBC Sherlock XD Can't remember who said it but it's a great moment to be a Holmes' fan! <3 I couldn't imagine I was going to like Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman so much! they're perfect for the roles and Oh, all the slash potential:

-It's fantastic.
-Do you know you do that out loud?
-Sorry, I'll shut up.
-No, it's...fine.

♥♥♥

Which reminds me, [livejournal.com profile] sadynax is killing me with her lovely chibis ♥

I'm also enjoying immensely the amount of fics this series's already producing~

But, here, have two Holmes/Watson big bang fics I loved (not Sherlock's universe):

-A study in midnight: crossover with A Study in Emerald.

-Roll away your stone


Now, I really should try to be productive for a little while longer...

Hello again, dear f-list!

How're you? I'd like to keep up to date with you but every passing day seems harder, with thesis and lessons and all... Still I'm hopeful enough to think I'll regain some balance some time in the near future, who knows.

Lately I've been kind of lethargic and too focused on working. I'd like to finish my thesis for june next year, which means some days I'm a bundle of stress while others I'm all 'no worries, everything's gonna be all right'. It's kind of distressing in general -_- Luckily my friends arrive every now and then to take me out and prevent me from going crazy.

The most I've been doing in my leisure time is dust my ACD books and lurk around the Sherlock Holmes' comms when I find the energy to remain in front of my laptop at the end of the day. And just when I thought I had overcome the holmesian fandom, Guy Ritchie's movie appears in all its slashiest glory and there I go again. Not that I'm complaining, mind you *g* )


In other news, I just bought a lovely wallet, handmade by the talented [livejournal.com profile] louiselux with a Pride and Prejudice book cover from a 1813 edition. I'm pleased as punch X3


By the way, if you didn't watch the short film The Butterfly Circus yet, you absolutely must! Beautiful piece of work ♥ The story is an ode to personal overcoming but every single one of the characters is so full of beauty is overwhelming. It's around 20 min. long so there are two parts on YouTube:

Hope this is the end of my hiatus~

Better than yesterday -a night with friends always helps. I even went shopping (just a bit! but yes I'm quite better XD) and found an awesome black bodice with laces and all for next con at Barcelona *g*

Things I left unfinished yesterday:
Friday Fives: In sickness II )

Tomorrow I want to read all those fanfics I couldn't read today and prepare the documents for my annual report (the grant and all). I'm just trying not to think too hard about a future job and about all the stress is causing me this grant, bleh...
kaoticwords: (Innocence)
It seems bugs are all around. I got up today with a fever and a horrible cough. I feel better now but look what I found as a week challenge in the holmesslash group:

Friday Fives: ~In sickness~ I guessed I could give it a try )

Tomorrow I'll finish the last two prompts:

4. Five times Watson faked a cold to get Holmes in bed with him.
(slash or not, your choice)

5. Five things Holmes said when he was delirious with fever. (Watson
will always cherish the second one)

Bed now~
kaoticwords: (How to annoy Tsuzuki #138~)
Interesting things I found today:

-House new season: clips from the first ep *squee*

-Hey Jude by Hugh Laurie XDDD

-"Podfics": the new format of fanfics that certainly will help me with my pronunciation (there's no better teacher than the Internet).

-Holmes/Watson extra sweet fanfic: Darned Socks by [livejournal.com profile] elena_c and its cute fanart by [livejournal.com profile] elina_kivimaki.

-Also by [livejournal.com profile] elina_kivimaki: Holmes Watson and the tent. Actually ALL her H/W art is marvellously funny.

[Edit]: -Lovely Lawful Drug's fanart by [livejournal.com profile] r_chan :3 I missed Rikuo and Kazahaya! [/edit]

-------------
It might not be evident after that but this morning I tasted the end of vacation to all its splendour -.- (TBC).




Bed now: all my body hurts badly due to the ministrations of my chiropractor -but thank you, Choi-san, for making me able of training again! T_T
