Okay, on my second viewing of Sherlock...
palaceoffunk: aka “Why Won’t You Let Irene Adler Be Great?” [Spoilers for Sherlock] Read More Palaceoffunk articulated all of this better than I think I could!  And while I too really did enjoy this episode and thought lots was cool and clever, well…. these thoughts, they are mine, too.  Why couldn’t she end with the upper hand? Why have her vulnerability be emotionally based?...

Hi Tumblr! Resolution!
Hi Tumblr!  Long time no see!  So….. the other day, I was looking through tumblr and I thought to myself, “gee, maybe I need to make a new tumblr, one where I can just post whatever nonsense I want, with no stress.”  And then it occured to me that…. wasn’t that what this tumblr was origionally for?  Do I really have anyone following me that I am that concerned about...

– Anna Holmes (via soupsoup) YES YES YES. I saw that 20/20 interview off hand and stopped when the word “rebel” popped up. Seriously? Addiction’s a whole ‘nother thing, but threatening physical harm, EVEN DEATH, on another person (much less your ex-wife) is not “rebellious,” it’s not cute or sexy or...

parasols: automatic writing →
parasols: I remember rolling over with a particular thought in my head last night, reaching for a pen, paper, whatever was nearby.
