Sunday: The Bad, The Good

Just saying hello!  And whinging a little, because I'm once again in the midst of home reno disarray.  Everything is covered in plaster dust, and all the furniture is still in the bedroom.  I am starting a trial tomorrow, and these are not optimum conditions for working, so I'm giving up and planning on getting to the office by 7:00 tomorrow.

On the other hand, I went to the Westminster Dog Show Agility Competition yesterday, and the dogs were fantastic.  Also, the Olympics are happening, and I love the Olympics in the corniest way possible, although I'm a bit conflicted since we probably shouldn't be participating at all.

Most of all, though: SHERLOCK!  Which I won't discuss in detail, except to say that I don't think the love story between them is subtextual any longer; or if it is, it's so barely beneath the surface as to be inconsequential.  If these characters weren't same-sex, I can't imagine anyone would doubt that this is a romance that's been developing, and simmering, and is coming to a boil.  All of which makes me incredibly happy!!  And in celebration, instead of doing work, I'm going to watch Billy Wilder's The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes, which I haven't seen since I was a kid, because of what Mark Gatiss says about it.  And I'll also offer a Sherlock rec: Luminosity, by what_alchemy.  Short, and beautiful, and touching.

WHAT?!?! That is so cool! I watched them on TV and just loved seeing them! It must have been infinitely cooler seeing it all live and in person!

It was SO great. I've been to the regular Westminster show several times, and it's always a good time, but this was enjoyable in a different way -- more of a sense of fun to it, plus they allowed mutts to compete. And the owners are all very nice about letting you pet the dogs.

I love dogs, but my partner is very allergic, so we can't have one. Sniff.
