Hopefully this is premature, but goodbye, old friend. Your music charms my soul. Del Mar Kaaboo forever! Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet Prince. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. -- Hamlet V.ii.

That's what [English] people WEAR!

Folks. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. -____-”

Sonnet 42

That thou hast her is not all my grief, And yet it may be said I loved her dearly; That she has thee is of my wailing chief, A loss in love that touches me more nearly. Loving offenders, thus I excuse ye: Thou dost love her because thou knowst I love her; And for my sake even so doth she abuse me, Suff’ring my friend for my sake to approve her. If I lose thee, my loss is my love’s gain, And losing her, my friend hath found that loss; Both find each other and I lose both twain, And both for my sake lay on me this cross. But here’s the joy; my friend and I are one. Sweet flatt’ry! Then she loves but me alone. 

TLD last night reminded me in a weird way of Shakespeare’s 42nd. One would imagine that the Bard and Mofftiss entertained unscrupulous joy when composing such timey/rhymy, fishy/twisty mind blowing verse.   Well done, y’all!

Everyone was in sparkling form Friday night. Especially the House of Moffat! What a fab surprise. Many thanks to Baker Street Babes for another marvelous party.

Quite quite random…

Well, at least this time his randomness is a tree and not some lake w water up to his waist, freezin' off his nips. (And, hey, we all know cookie ELVES & DORKS live in trees.) What a gorgeous old oak, cashmere coat and well groomed wood sprite.

If Sherlock had a female cousin, who was an artist and lived in America . . . Prob look like this New Yorker cartoon.

From our Creative Life Collection, Judith Thurman’s 2012 Profile of the cartoonist Alison Bechdel:

“Bechdel doesn’t outline her stories, which jump back and forth in time, so much as map them, using the cards as placeholders for her scenes. Her untidy blueprint reminded me of yet another kind of house: a memory palace.”

Ooooo, just pulled out my Folger Library edition of Antony and Cleopatra. Would love to see Sir Benedict as Antony! A great man of high stature w a tragic flaw who brings about his own downfall. Rinse & repeat. . . . It would still be terrific show. ". . . a rarer spirit never did steer humanity, but you, gods, will give us faults to make us men."

International book covers of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Yeah, fab shot. But, IMHO, makeup artist went too far on Sherlock's eye brows. BC is handsome enough without a tube of mascara splooshed across his noble brow.

He is one fabulous fucker

Aww, sheet! Um, I mean, sweet sheet. <3

Ben is the TRUE Red Beard! <3

He's such a professional. Can't you just imagine him asking himself, "What am I doing in this ridiculous pose?" But, as w TIBC, all for a great cause. :-) <3

Those at YOU HQ who were still sitting on the Benedict Cumberbatch fence practically flung themselves over it on seeing this vision in a wet shirt. BC found his inner Darcy for a shoot with Jason Bell (he of cute Prince George photo fame), who was commissioned by TK Maxx to shoot a variety of famous faces, including Liam Neeson, Kate Winslet and Jerry Hall, to celebrate ten years of its Give Up Clothes For Good campaign, which has raised more than £17 million for Cancer Research. Bell’s photographs will be exhibited at La Galleria on Pall Mall, London, from Tuesday until Saturday. tkmaxx.com.

Sparkling! Well done, gentlemen.

Afferent neurons in the peripheral nervous system are cold -- shrinkage. Poor baby! But for a great cause. <3

So… Benedict Cumberbach asked me (yeah really) to tell all of my followers thank you for the gift, (which was a Porto wine bottle) and he also said ‘Tell them to download The Fifth Estate on iTunes’. The man knows how to promote stuff.

So you know what to do. Oh and if you are a follower I did tell him hello from all of you and you can reblog or like this post for a chance to win the above signed label :)

*still deaded*

Reblog if you'd run away with the Doctor this very instant.

"Blimey! 78,327 of you? I suppose you could all fit in the TARDIS. Well, she is bigger on the inside. I’ll tell you what, pack your things and your best running shoes because let’s be honest - you’re going to need them. I’ll be in your backyard in five minutes to pick you up in the TARDIS. See you then.”

Here’s some more!

Have a swimmingly fun birthday, Mr. Holmes.

More birthday cheer for Ben. This time from San Diego where the joint is jumpin'. The meet started yesterday; horses are running at Del Mar. Comic Con started today. BC was nominated for a Grammy! And today/tomorrow is his Birthday. God is in his heaven. All's right with the world.  (But, erhm, we still have to wait several more months for S3.)   Happy Birthday, Benedict!
