pbs, ARE YOU FOR REALS

I wish PBS would quit cutting out so many little plot points from the Sherlock episodes! I am judging you rn, PBS. I am judging you hardcore.
If PBS cuts anything that I love out of The Great Game like they cut the twirling scene out of The Blind Banker I WILL KARATE CHOP IT IN THE FACE.
TWIRLING SCENE, ILU

THIS. SO. FUCKING. HARD.

Perspective: Jon Stewart, Stephen Fry, and Marie...
I’m prepared to lose followers for writing this. I haven’t made a post about language policing and perspective in a while.
When we object to WORDS, more than we care about the POINT of things, we fail.
Thing the First: Jon Stewart and the Rally to Restore Sanity.
There was a point, if you read the text of Mr. Stewart’s speech, the point is very easily evident. (You have...

Playing Rembrandt? Oh, GOD, YES. Playing Mandy Moore’s husband, wtf?
Let the fangirl *SQUEE* begin. Read that article carefully, Nightwatching looks like a damned good film that I’m pissed either didn’t make it to US/anywhere near me, or hasn’t done so, yet.
Yeah, I’m kind of an ART fangirl, too. (Seriously, y’all, I get the *weak and dizzies* and *weep*...

I wrote a thing: infinite
Everyone likes to say, “The possibilities are infinite.” Except they don’t really know what that means. No one does. That’s the point. That one day, a girl will walk through the door of her favorite bar and run into a boy she hasn’t seen since the fourth grade, is merely one of those infinite possibilities. Sarah didn’t even know that much. Yet.
Everything...

For review of the first episode, A Study In Pink, go here: http://carnivaloftherandom.tumblr.com/post/1354817107/sherlock-a-study-in-pink-you-need-to-watch-this
(It’s up on PBS.org, go watch it. No excuses.)
The Blind Banker is, while brilliantly acted and filmed, not quite as thrilling as A Study In Pink. Steve Thompson, has crafted a loose adapatation of, The Dancing Men, with nods to...

I will be the first person to say, yes - Marie Claire has the right to say what they want, to assign pieces to the writers they choose, and publish them. What they don’t get to do, is cry about the First Amendment. Why? Because nobody stopped them from exercising that right. We simply exercised ours.
The problems I have with the article, are numerous....

janedoe225:
An unknown group handed out misleading fliers to voters in a primarily African American polling place in Houston, Texas, reports KTRK.
The fliers, which were handed out near an early voting location Tuesday night, claimed that “Republicans are trying to trick us” and said that voting Democrat was actually voting for Republicans.
“When you vote straight ticket Democrat, it is...

kiriamaya:
Full disclosure: I myself do not like Stephen Fry, because he has made awfully transphobic jokes. Since I know little about the man’s oeuvre (I’ve only seen a little bit of Fry and Laurie, pun absolutely intended), I realize that my opinion is not the most informed; nonetheless, I think my emotion here is valid because, “Dude thinks my life is worthy of mockery and thinks...

WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED BY THIS?
Actually, I’m surprised that it’s cocaine and not heroin.

So Apple has okayed a “PeekABooTranny” App for iPhone and etc. I’m sure you can figure out why this enrages the fuck out of me

Follow Up of the Day: Tim Profitt, the Rand Paul supporter who stomped on the head of MoveOn.org activist Lauren Valle outside Monday’s debate, is demanding an apology from Ms. Valle.
He spoke with CBS affiliate WKYT-TV (video above) about the incident, saying Valle is “a professional at what she does,” and claiming that all the facts have yet to emerge.
Profitt was fired from...

Scenes from the real world: Better, and random...
The Carnival of The Random, is random. Shoulder is mending, a bit. Writing longhand for any length of time is still… velociraptor claws/neanderthal fire in my shoulderblade and neck, and my back. Still, I’m not in near constant pain.
I had a lovely Doctor Who marathon watch/cheese coma/hockey blocked visit with @paperclippe Saturday. Also, first real shower in a month. I was in a...

Honestly, I’m saying this so much lately, (mostly about Sherlock, but also Doctor Who and Harry Potter,) that I needed it on a t-shirt.
Go, vote. Tell your friends!

Mandalay’s Beautiful, (which I first found watching Iron-Jawed Angels, and I’ve never been able to find THAT particular mix again, dammit.) Someone made a Sherlock fanvid. Both of these things are relevant to my damn interests.
BTW: THIS is very much, SPOILERS BE DAMNED, consider yourselves warned.
Yeah, I’m gonna get that review of The Blind Banker up by Friday, I swear.

It’s adorable, it’s for a good purpose. Yes, I know - “Raising awareness,” is totally amorphous and intangible. It’s only one component.

A Study In Pink is now up on PBS.org, the videos will be available until 12/7/10, as they air nationally. Therefore, if your PBS station has either juggled the air-dates, or you just want to watch it again… GO.

Books. Giving books, receiving books, reading books, being read books. Discovering books, adopting books, embracing books, falling asleep with my face in a book. These are the constants in my life.
Books. BOOKS. BOOKSBOOKSBOOKS.
And, no - I do not use an e-reader. I object to them because most don’t allow the side-by-side page, and they bother my eyes.
I need my books without a filter....
