Um....
Okay, so I'm looking for Sherlock arts and crafts projects to keep me busy because I'm really I don't know bored?! (I've actually got some ideas now though.) But here is a youtube video I found that I thought I'd share.
Yes, the song from Annie Get Your Gun.

Um, Hehe, Erm.....
About that last post by HFS, well... She's not going to be overtaking this blog anytime soon. Not if I can help it at least. (I WILL take your admin powers away!) However, she is the one writing in red (unless you're colorblind. DID YOU TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION HFS?! DID YOU?!) Oh well, it's easy to tell which are her posts, they'll be the haughty pretentious complicated more Sherlock-ish, if you catch my drift. (Do you?)
~~~~~~~~~
I mad more turnovers, they're so delicious! Better than yesterdays, I had changed the recipe. Usually I follow the one below:
2 1/2 cups flour
Shake of salt
3/4 cups shortening/butter
6-7 tablespoons water/Vodka (I'll explain in a bit)
So you cut the shortening into the flour and salt, slowly add the water vodka mix stiring as you go. (Don't over work the dough) roll it out for pies and such. (yeah it's not a detailed recipe but what the heck.)
So I do a half butter half shortening mix for flavor and flakiness. I also add the vodka because the alcohol burns off and it acts as a very good bonding agent. However, the dough then tends to get tough very quickly. So I omitted the shortening and vodka today and they turned out even better than yesterday. Simpler is just better I guess.
(And would the person(s) who found my blog via searching 'Benedict Cumberbatch' please contact me.... I want to know how the hell you did it. Because I've tried.)

What is Wrong With This Fandom?
Cumberbitches. There I typed it. The newest fandom I am aware of. Keep your Sherlockians, your Trekkies, your Whovians, your Rebels. Women of today are Cumberbitches.
Come. On. You have got to be kidding me. Cumberbitches? Really? ANYONE could have come up with something better. ANYONE.
Okay I found a quote on this matter:
This has to be better.
-MaggieG, Evil Goblin Overlady
P.S. I found a swell name online 'Benaddicts'! It's great!
Come. On. You have got to be kidding me. Cumberbitches? Really? ANYONE could have come up with something better. ANYONE.
Okay I found a quote on this matter:
"Do any of those words make sense to you? They might, if you’re among the almost 37,000 members of “the most glorious and elusive society for the appreciation of the high cheekboned, blue eyed sexbomb that is Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch,”This quote was in an article I read on the matter. Now I love Cumberbatch. I really do. He's right up there in my adoration spectrum I just don't fawn over him around people. Just in private while I re-watch 'A Study in Pink' for the gazillionth time. But nonetheless I could have come up with a better fandom name. Which is why HFS and I have decided to start the 'I am Sherlocked' revolution. Starting now we are on a mission to eradicate the word 'Cumberbitch' from the Earth, (hey we're ambitious.) So today ladies of the highly esteemed Goblin High Court. When you go out today or go onto twitter. Don't identify as a 'Cumberbitch' instead say 'I am Sherlocked' because that HAS to be beter somehow. (Tweeting it works too.)

High Functioning Sociopath (HFS)
So you people are probably wondering who HFS is. Well she's a friend of mine who was originally gonna get the very cool name Baroness von Fulkerson but nooooooo. She (okay there is a kinda sorta reason I said 'yes' too) She just had to be 'High Functioning Sociopath'. And because it's a pain to type HFS is the abbreviated term.
Behind The Name
Sherlock. She got me into the show and in episode one of the first series "A Study in Pink" Anderson is corrected by Sherlock that he's not a psychopath but a 'High functioning sociopath.' (Do your research!) And well, for some other odd reasons she and I decided that her being HFS is pretty okay. (But I'll be damned is Baroness wouldn't be more fitting and cooler).
This also gives her an excuse to refer to me as 'Freaking watson Junior' which is a very long story in which I'll not tell you any right now. But if I get people in the comments besides her calling me that there will be hell to pay.

A Bit of This and That.
So some Monday random.
*Sherlock, I'd like to correct my friend who in comments is the 'High Functioning Sociopath' We have TWO episodes to go in Sherlock. 2.
*I would be posting my vacation pics but alas I've lost the effing camera to computer cord and I'm really F***ing annoyed!!!
* 'High Functioning Sociopath' (who would otherwise have an awesome name if she/I hadn't insisted on that name. I might abbreviate to HFS.) Would like me to comment on the show Merlin. A newer telling of the Legend of King Arthur. I do enjoy the show more than I had thought I would. It's actually really nice. (Fan fics, Can't you just see them? *cough cough* Inside joke for HFS.) ;) HOWEVER, nylon shirts, skimpy tops, Morgana's halter top, chain mail, armor, a NON-FRENCH Lancelot du Lac, the color red EVERYWHERE, polyester blends, are just a FEW of the problems I have with the show, (had to mention the HFS. And you need to read the friggen Legend anyway SO YOU KNOW WHO MORDRED IS JEEZ! (The Mists of Avalon work too) just find out more of the original telling okay?)
*With HFS I've got four more episodes of Jane Eyre to go.
*I'll do a longer vacation post later.
*I went to look at the boats in Valdez and wanted to report some of the cooler named ones: The Dawn Treader, Shadowfax (bonus points if you can name where those names are from HFS, your answers don't count.) Merlin, Killin' Time, Enterprise, Infinite Grace, Morning Light, The Boat, Freedom Dancer, Knot Again, Wind Musher, My Boat, Jade Dolphin, The Half Cup, and English Maiden are just a few.
Haven't much more to say right now.

Sherlock: Review
I don't make it a habit to post on Sundays. I generally avoid this. I have virtually promised myself that the Sabbath would be a day to not worry about posting.... Oh well. I recently watched two new episodes of Sherlock and decided to write a review up for the two episodes.
The Blind Banker
In this episodes Sherlock has discovered a Chinese number system which is also being used as a cypher by a Chinese smuggler gang known as the Black Lotus.
The story starts with a woman who performs a ancient tea ritual for tourists. She later disappears without explanation. Sherlock is then called to a bank in which the symbols: δΈ€ and 〥are painted in yellow spray paint on the walls of a dead man's office. They then go find the man who's office they were in. They find him dead, the new police detective thinks suicide but Sherlock, who's right, thinks it's murder. But they cannot figure out how he's getting in. All while this is going on John get's a job at a clinic. Where he finds himself attracted to the lovely doctor in charge. There are a few more murders and some black origami lotus blossoms left as a warning to victims. Sherlock almost dies, mostly from his fault. John ends up with a date with the pretty clinic doctor in which Sherlock gets them to go to a Chinese circus. They have a swell time until later when they think Watson is Sherlock and his date almost dies..... And I highly doubt she's going out with him again. The leader of the group escapes and much to Sherlock's chagrin.
The episode was intriguing and well paced. Hints of humor keep the tone. Not too much to note or anything. But don't worry I've got another episode. (I also haven't read the story that accompanies this one....)
A Scandal in Belgravia
Based on the Holmes story A Scandal in Bohemia Sherlock meets his match, The Woman.
Irene Adler is a dominatrix, and not just in her free time it's her job. There are, however compromising picture's of her and a female member of the royal family. Sherlock is to get these pictures from her and to Mycroft for safe keeping. He goes to her "Place of business" dressed as a priest. Little did he know he'd get in regardless of whether John hit him or not. He goes in only to have a naked Irene enter the room. As she's seducing him John walks in. (For some reason the thought of Leia kissing Han when C3PO walks in, in The Empire Strikes Back comes to mind.)But unlike everyone else Sherlock is unable to figure out anything about her. And is drawn by her intelligence. She dies leaving Sherlock despondent by it. In the end we find she was in connection to Moriarty, the "Consulting Criminal".
I disliked the portrayal of Irene Adler, once more this fell into the stereotype of women being forced to used their wiles to get information. While I have no complete problem with that, after all wiles can be a help occasionally (Gentleman Prefer Blondes, or Marylin in general). I just strongly disliked the idea that Irene Adler, who was incredibly intelligent and in this day and age, could have taken a well paying job, chose instead to basically sell herself as a living. Of course this was all by her choice and she owns her business independently but I still dislike it. This episode is actually pretty funny, I laughed a lot of the time. And the naked Irene only lasts for about fifteen minutes. I highly recommend this episode, I just dislike Irene's portrayal. But it's easy to see Sherlock's fascination with her. Her intelligence rivals his own making her attractive. But you sometimes have to wonder if it's just her brain he's attracted to.
