. . . I like to think he'd come up with mixed drinks like these.

Pathology-inspired Cocktails, served at the St Bartholomew's Pathology Museum, of all places! How appropriate. Molly probably helped . . .

Yes, it's true -- while I've been off-LJ, I've gone over to the pony side of the Force, as it were. Since I don't participate in the fandom, I wouldn't say I'm a full-blown Brony by any means, but I enjoy the show and can see why it's developed an adult fandom. I also think it's worth reccing to anyone who hasn't given it a shot.

Okay, just re-watched the American broadcast of "A Scandal in Belgravia," and yeah, not happy with the PBS cuts (dude the ashtray, the ashtray was character gold!), but even still less happy about the tweaks made to Irene Adler and her story. When the Victorian version is more feminist than the modern one, there's a problem, and no matter how entertaining the episode otherwise there's no way around that. Sorry. It's a personal failing.

So I was talking about music vids with a friend, and discussing ones we thought played cleverly with intercutting/time/etc., and and I went looking for the Mountain Goats' "Woke Up New" as a good example of such.

Lo and behold, upon finding a copy on Youtube, I noticed that in the comments it's a song in the process of being adopted as a post-"Reichenbach" anthem by Sherlock fandom -- rather to the annoyance of some other folks commenting.

Y'know what? It is perfect, so I'm posting a link to the vid and boosting the signal. G'wan, enjoy a great song and intricate vid, and add your voices to those saying "Sherlock fandom sent me"! ;)

Just hopping on quickly to post this must-share link:

"Making of the Hogwarts gingerbread castle."

TT y'all L!

SpoCon was fun this year; got good responses to the historical programming I was part of, and got to have a good time socializing with long-time convention-friends -- you know, the people you only see about every 6 months, but whom you've known for years (almost decades, in some cases). I have some misc. pics I intend to post, but I since believe my camera ended up going home with my carpool ride (unintentionally), those will have to wait till later. For now, countessaleska snapped two pics of me Saturday night, when all the parties were in full swing and I had a pretty good skinful going, and naturally she posted them straight to Facebook. (What else are friends for?) I figured I might as well post them here, too, for the record, since I am (sort of) in costume.

( I suppose if these are the only drunken pics of me ever posted to Facebook, I'll be doing pretty good. )

I was tagged for this by alice_day, so here we go . . .

I didn't really get any pics on Sunday, since that was "OMG! We have to check out by noon, PACK!" day, but I have a few from Saturday.

Gonna be at Norwescon from tomorrow through Sunday, hanging out with aibhinn, canaana, nightrider101 and souleswanderer. It's gonna be awesome. We'll be hosting our usual Doctor Who themed room party, The Geek-Out of Rassilon, on Friday night from 9-11pm, so feel free to stop by if you happen to be on-site!
