Idk, I had a lot of problems with the episode, which I won't get into because
(Yes. Yes they did.)
(Actually, I feel compelled to note that something approximating romantic interest between Sherlock and Irene is not actually one of my problems with it. I get why so many of you hate this! I really do! But... Look, okay, that type of thing is one of my most hardcore fictional kinks, ngl. XD;)
eta: Oh! I nearly forgot. A conversation:
Me: Benedict Cumberbatch. Why is his face?
Dave: Benedict Cumberbash?
Me: Cumberbatch.
Dave: Benedict Cumberbatch. I bet his real name's George.
Me: No, that's his name. The best name for that face, really...
Dave: Wait, who is Benedict Cumberbatch?
Me: Sherlock! He plays Sherlock!
Dave: ...Oh. I thought he must be some improbably-named character in the show...
Me: ...No, that's his... actual name...
- In unrelated non-news, I have had this laptop for nearly a month now and I still can't figure out a name for it. D: All I know is it's metallic, purple-tinted, and female. (My old laptop is male. Look, don't ask me, they just are, okay.)
- Speaking of completely irrational animistic thinking, the other day I was taking a walk through my neighborhood, looked at a building I was walking by and thought to myself, "I wonder if all the residents in that building are friends, their cars look so friendly with each other!" It took a good 20 or 30 seconds for me to even note it as a strange thought.

(OMG the blogs! the blooooogs!)
(BC's face has been entirely useful as a parenting tool. I have an 18 year old who, like many teens, believes that mirrors cringe when ze looks into them. ~ BC's face, analyzed feature by feature, isn't all that, but together it's a tasty treat.)

(Like, Cillian Murphy is more classically handsome (oh who am I kidding, gorgeous) but he's also got a presence that BC does as well. Looks without intelligence and personality are just ... vapid and boring and do not want.
2) My previous computer was genderless. This one is male. There is nothing strange about this. They just are.
IKR? The desktop I was using before the old laptop was genderless. I didn't even realize I was thinking of computers as gendered until at some point I caught myself thinking of the previous laptop as male w/o even questioning it...
