I owe emails and messages and stuff, which will hopefully happen tonight, though I'm feeling a tiny bit like perhaps I've been run over by a truck. Hopefully it passes soon. Soonish.
Anyway, NPR will have a thing on Sherlock today: Sherlock: A character who's more than elementary, for those interested. Please tell me there's a story out there where Sherlock is a porn star who goes by the name Shercock? That exists, yeah? ETA: Bonus Cumberbuttons photo Buttons+NPR=OTP
Here is a link to listen to Eddie Vedder's "Skipping". I'm quite fond of his voice.
So, Gary Oldman directed a concert video of Jack White and it was pretty damn awesome. Mostly the first hour was awesome. He played with an all girl band and it was a thing--a thing that kicked lots of ass. The last hour he plays with his "real" band, I suppose, and while they also kicked ass, my brain reverted to its days as a Women's Studies graduate student and pouted about how playing them side-by-side, the girl band became a gimick and the boy band treated as more authentically rock-n-roll? Something that someone more eloquent than I could explain by applying the high sheen gloss of words such as "hegemony" to explain why it's "problematic". Anyway. The concert is great and he's got a phenomenal back-up singer with the girl group that is worth the price of admission alone (okay, it's free but you know what I mean).
I have a meeting in 15 minutes and it's already promising to be pretty pointless. It's also in the attic of our other building. and I'm in the attic of this building. It's a lot of stairs and I'm feeling pretty pissy about it so I suppose I should begin the trek.
