Has anybody heard the news?

[jumperfucker]

Someone mentioned today that the BBC are planning on doing a modern Holmes adaptation. Is this true? Is there any merit to this? Or is someone just spreading lies?

I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I think I'll wait until I hear more information before deciding whether or not I want to look into it. I mean, depending on who you ask, the RDJ film was good. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I'm hopeful. Cautiously optimistic, I think is the phrase.

I'll post more info if/when I find it.

The RDJ film was an atrocity. But I'll spare you the rant again.

[jumperfucker]

Well I liked it. So fuck off.

[consulting_detective]

What on earth is that icon?

[jumperfucker]

Isn't it obvious?

Someone posted it to the meme. I thought it was funny. You miss out on half the fandom by avoiding that place.

[consulting_detective]

This is why everyone thinks we're shagging, you know.

And if I put time into keeping up with that thing, I'd never get anything done. You'd get your stuff done faster if you didn't waste all your time over there.

[jumperfucker]

Well I like it over tehre. So fuck off.

Fuck. My kingdom for an edit button.

You should have an edit link. Between 'thread' and 'delete' at the bottom of the comment. But you can't edit once someone's replied. But you should be able to delete the replies (since this is your journal), then edit your comment. I think. Haven't tried that yet myself :-)

So looking forward to more Sherlock - any adaptation! :DDD

[jumperfucker]

Is there? I don't see it?

Help! I went to med school. Not computer school.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Oh hell, I studied philosophy :-)

But my parents met while they were working for IBM as computer programmers, so I guess computer tech is in my genes :D

I see the edit link on my comment above. I don't know why you wouldn't see the edit links on your comments. Not that it matters. No point obsessing over typos.

Welcome to LJ!

[jumperfucker]

This is going to bug me if I can't find that. I have two betas because typos appear to be in my genes.

On behalf of myself and my friend

[jumperfucker]

Thank you for the paid time. I can see the edit button now! :D

Sorry about him. He left his manners somewhere else.

Re: On behalf of myself and my friend

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

No need to apologize :-)

Actually, I kinda wish LJ had an anonymous feature on giving paid time.

Re: On behalf of myself and my friend

[vivid-winged.livejournal.com]

I think they do somewhere! I've had someone do it before.

Re: On behalf of myself and my friend

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

I know you can send vgifts anon, but I didn't see how with paid time. Oh well.

Re: On behalf of myself and my friend

[vivid-winged.livejournal.com]

Hm, I know I had someone do it once... tried doing it while logged out?

Re: On behalf of myself and my friend

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

IDK. Oh, and Hi fellow Oregonian! :D

Re: On behalf of myself and my friend

[vivid-winged.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool. Always nice to meet someone from out here. Prettiest state I've been in. ^_^

[consulting_detective]

It's a paid feature. Plus account holders can't edit their comments.


And John, why are you still up? Don't you have work today?

[jumperfucker]

Oh.


Same reason I'm always up late. :/


(Are you tracking this post? Where did you even come from?)

[consulting_detective]

You wouldn't have this problem if you went to your physio appointments. Try putting a pillow under your arm, and tomorrow invest in a hot water bottle.

And then keep your appointments.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right. Sorry, I forgot. I invested in the paid account months ago - so worth it just to get rid of the effing ads!

[consulting_detective]

Did you just give me paid time? Why would you do that?

[jumperfucker]

The words you're looking for are 'thank you,' Genius.

[consulting_detective]

You're still up.

[jumperfucker]

And you're pointing out the obvious.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Are you like jumperfucker's mom or something? What's it to you how late he stays up?

[consulting_detective]

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be one of his patients tomorrow after he's only had four hours of sleep.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Life happens. Chill. Insomnia isn't cured by people hovering and ordering them to sleep.

If you want to help, play him a lullaby :-)

[consulting_detective]

I did help. And it's not insomnia; it's shoulder pain. He's had it since he came home from the army.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Then I'm glad you were able to help.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Fandom has given me a lot (for free, even!). Just wanted to 'pay it forward'.

You're welcome :-)

[consulting_detective]

Oh. That's... interesting.

[vivid-winged.livejournal.com]

Just look at it as an AU fic. It's not like fandom hasn't done it before.

[jumperfucker]

Yeah, that's a good way of putting it, isn't it?

And it can't possibly be worse than that Asylum thing, can it?
