    Lafcadio Hearn begs "Don't disgust me, please --"

    This, ladies, is what happens if you are the 50th female to ask a man 'does my bum look big in this?'

    What would you assume Aliens to be like?

    ^ We're not really searching for intelligent life, we're just searching for replicas of ourselves. Anything less, or more, will not do.

    Shakespeare's Plays

    He is pretty much free to adapt Shakespeare's entire oeuvre. The horror. Tybalt, Prince of Blowing Shit up. To Explode, or to explode thrice, that is the question. All the world is a grenade.

    January 2012: Raymond Chandler: The Big Sleep

    ^ Google throws up an interesting anecdote. The Knight motif, first in the opening paragraph and then again later: That about sums up Marlowe for me. He has this personal code of honour which renders him alone and separate from his fellow man, as well as from the times he dwells in -...

    What would you assume Aliens to be like?

    I would assume them to be all smexy like Jadzia Dax.

    Okay, my two cents for what it's worth. It feels like you have too much going on. In those two paragraphs we're told about Shit's appearance, his dissatisfaction with his life, his place/lack of at the cat god's court, his childhood training sessions with Dope Sr, his friendship with Dope...

    January 2012: Raymond Chandler: The Big Sleep

    I've finished, and have mostly positive thoughts. One question, however... Who killed ? I can't work out whether I've missed it or whether it wasn't actually disclosed.

    OWW-wwwwwww....... Please do elaborate more, if you feel comfortable doing so. Just to double check, this is the opening to the story? I don't write. Am willing to have a go though, perhaps it'll works as an exercise in how not to do it.

    Sherlock: BBC TV Series

    I've not seen Brotherhood of the Wolf :( That shot of Cumberbatch looking down onto the vale from on high was pretty neat, all gothicy like the Wanderer above the Sea of Clouds. The mind palace was corny and amusing at the same time, however.

    I was worried, Direstraits, that you were going to say she was actually on the chamberpot or something!

    January 2012: Raymond Chandler: The Big Sleep

    That's about what I figured with regards to the gist of it. Was wandering if it was one of those phrases that has now dropped from usage, but am actually finding it thrilling (mein gott I needs a life) that it's an original coinage. So far I'm finding lots of it overly descriptive, but then...

    Sherlock: BBC TV Series

    Did y'all like the second episode, The Hound of the Baskervilles? It felt odd seeing Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock out of the city, realised just how big a character London is in its own right.
