Excuse Me While Sherlock Temporarily Hijacks My Blog

Okay,before things get carried away, first things first, countdown time:

11 DAYS TILL I LEAVE FOR IRELAND!!!

 So yes, this is the most fabulously exciting and nerve-wracking thing right now and I am having all sorts of issues actually believing that it's happening. Still so much to do! How am I going to fit 4 months worth of stuff in just a couple suitcases? What is it going to be like when I get there? Will it be what I've always dreamed of it being(AKA magical)? IS THIS FOR REAL????

Oi! I don't even... well. How bout we talk about something I'm slightly more comprehending of. Though when I say slightly, I do mean slightly. I would just like to preface this by saying that yes, I do realize it is just a TV show, and yes I do have a life, and I promise that I am not a complete Sherlock fangirl; I have a good number of other topics I can get equally, and on occasion, more so worked up about. But for now let's address the most prevalent.

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT SHERLOCK SEASON 3????? [Spoilers for those of you who haven't seen it yet.] 



Okay, I am loving it. SO. MUCH. There is nothing thus far that I am not loving about this season. Other than it's only three episodes and we're 2/3rds of the way in. And also that I've loved everything. It makes me nervous when Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss are so nice. Because they are sadistic jerkfaces. I love their work, and from a writer's standpoint, they are complete and utter geniuses, but they are terrible people. So that makes me really worried for episode three.  

But before all heck breaks loose, let's focus on the awesome. 

Episode 3x01:

HOLY CRAP HOW DID HE REALLY DO IT?!?! I'm kind of partial to Anderson's theory, because I've always been a Sherlock/Molly shipper at heart. Plus I am incredibly attracted to that hair ruffle. For real. Dang. 

Also, Mary is the bomb. I really like her and I'm worried for her safety in episode 3 because of that fact. 

Additionally, while Sherlock actually seems more like a real human being now, he is still a jerk. 

Somebody on Tumblr put it this way "This is the best fanfiction I've ever watched." Yes, yes it was. 

Now episode 2... I can't even... 

So John gets married, okay, to this incredible woman that I already love. And Sherlock, naturally, is the best man. Not only is it as truly uncomfortable at points, as expected, but it is also really really really funny, and so incredibly touching (OHMYGOSH SHERLOCK HAS FEELINGS) that I didn't really know what to do with myself. 

I never expected to see a completely sloshed Sherlock and Watson, but there they were, totally drunk, and it was one of the funnies things I think I've ever seen. (Ex. John, "He's cluing for looks." Sherlock's deductions,"Skull? Death? Deaded?") 

And there was that little kid, Archie, I think, who Sherlock just totally clicked with, which was super adorable to watch. They bonded over maggots and beheadings, and it was precious. Not to mention that the kid is really clever and gives Sherlock the kick-start he needs to solve the case. 

For real how adorable is this? 
And for a sample of the completely maddeningly feelsy-ness of this episode, I present to you an excerpt from the Best Man's speech:

“the point im trying to make is that i am the most unpleasant, rude, ignorant and all round obnoxious arsehole that anyone could possibly have the misfortune to meet. i am dismissive of the virtuous, unaware of the beautiful, and uncomprehending in the face of the happy. so if i didnt understand why i was asked to be best man, it’s because i never expected to be anyone’s best friend. and certainly not the best friend of the bravest and kindest and wisest human being i have ever had the good fortune of knowing. john, i am a ridiculous man, redeemed only by the warmth and constancy of your friendship. but, as i am your best friend, i can not congratulate you on your choice of companion. actually, now i can. mary, when i say you deserve this man, it is the highest compliment of which i am capable. john, you have endured war and injury and tragic loss (so sorry again about that last one). so know this, today you sit between the woman you have made your wife and the man you have saved. in short, the two people who love you most in this world, and i know i speak for mary as well when i say, we will never let you down and we have a lifetime ahead to prove that.”

CAN WE SAY AWWWWWEEEEEEEE?????!?!?!!?!

Like I said, everything about this episode was fabulous. Except when the very ending is considered, and then the end seems very sad, but the rest is quite spectacular. And that isn't even MENTIONING all of the fan reactions to it, which in themselves are quite stupendous. So, due to my inability to create gifs(?) and the general improbability that I could ever cover everything that is wonderful about this episode, we're going to stop now. Plus I really do have a whole crapload of stuff to get ready for Ireland. So yeah. Okay, well I'll talk to you later! For now, I'll leave you with Sherlock and John getting wasted to a dubstep version of the Sherlock Theme:

I'm Not Done Talking About Egypt Stuff And You're A Fool If You Thought So

Okay, we're BACK. I'm back anyway. I have very little concept of how interesting other people find my rambling. Anyway, so last time we covered The Heretic King himself, Amarna a bit, the weird art, the religion, a little bit about his mummy. Now we're gonna get to the part that just ALWAYS drags me back in- Nefertiti. Like. Realistically I recognize I'm mostly drawn to her because in comparison to men in Egypt we have like a dozen ladies to talk about at all, and maybe four anyone is really that interested in outside of academic circles. But ya know, I acknowledge that and this is my blog so here we are. Another thing is that I'm just extremely mesmerized by her bust, and by the notion that she was the most beautiful woman in Egypt, and was almost certainly one of the most powerful in pharaonic history. Ask my friends/family, I see that lady's face or hear her name and I'm like a dog when you've mentioned food. Like,  Yes!? Did someone say Nefertiti...

Critical Theory: Bringing it all together

Hello, all! Lovely to write again, and I hope your Thanksgivings, for those of you who celebrated, were completely delightful; I know mine was. <3 So, this semester I have been in a class called "Critical Theory," which sounds incredibly daunting, but in actuality has been pretty fun and interesting, especially when paired with a delightful assortment of pop culture and an option to do the semester project on whatever one's little heart desires. We were told to find something that we wouldn't mind spending gobs of time in and around, something that we were already pretty interested in and wouldn't mind re-reading or seeing what other people have said about it. That, for me, happened to be my very favorite novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. I'm certain I've mentioned before, my ardent feelings for this particular novel; I first read it less than a year ago, in Ireland no less, and have fallen madly in love with this work by the famous sass-master, Mr....

Dream a Little Dream. . .

Dreams. I totally love dreams. I love having them, talking about them, telling people stories about my dreams and hearing theirs. This will more than likely not be the only time I talk about them, because they are SO MUCH FUN. I have some friends who unfortunately have informed me that this is not the case for everyone, and that some people mostly have bad experiences with the dreams they remember. That's really too bad, since I have a total blast in my own head. I thought of this because I was just updating what I call, forgive the cheesy-cliche-ness, my dream journal. My friends know my love of empty journals and the possibilities they hold, and as a result, I have a number of journals that I will probably never be able to fill, since I'm not even done with my current ones. So, I decided to use one of them to write down the dreams that I remember and especially enjoyed or stuck out. Anyway. So I thought of this post because I was updating my dream journal about a trio o...
