It's like my birthday is coming or some shit! :D

Assume that I've never ever ever read a Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Conan Arthur Doyle (stop shouting, reading Malraux* is time consuming ;-) -- which story listed here is a must read? (Thank you, maurheti)

*At this point I'm going to have to learn French just to read what I want to read because these translations leave a lot to be desired.

Tonight is a very important night, because tonight I finally get to see the last episode in Luther series one and if I was any more excited I'd keel over and foam at the mouth.

Idris "If you breathe near me you'll get knocked up" Elba! Ruth "I am the female Benedict Cumberbatch with my hair color changes totally making me an acting chameleon" Wilson! Indira "Oh my god, my hair and my cheekbones are divine" Varma! Steven "I may be lilliputian but you'd still give me the time of day" Mackintosh.

I'm totally having Ultraviolet and Undercover Heart flashbacks!

If you have not been watching this, or have not seen this, I am very sorry for you. You should rectify that at once. Also, it's been commissioned for a second series. *\o/*

This is like finding out that the cloning machine finally works.

Sidebar for all my fellow marathoners/triathletes/serious exercise fiends/anybody in training. Protein drinks. Muscle Milk tastes fantastic. Yum-my. ReGen tastes disgusting. Oh my god, don't drink that. Even if it's free post-event. It's worse than chalk.

Yesterday I heard the saddest words in the English (both versions) language: Sherlock is to return for a second series in autumn 2011 on BBC One.

Autumn 2011? That's Mad Men far away. That's worse than Mad Men far away, because Benedict has Tinker Tailor and Martin's about to go become the most famous hobbit ever and then that date may change too /o\

Also, maurheti informed that that God, err, Benedict sings. And he sings well.

So, for those of you keeping tabs on factoids about Benedict Cumberbatch. We present to you on this Sunday at the Holy Church of the Cumberbatch:

a) he's got a posh name
b) he has a voice like a jaguar in a cello
c) he looks like that
d) has eyes like that
e) looks like that in a suit
f) is nine feet tall
g) has an ass like that
h) is smarter than most MENSA candidates
i) probably speaks French fluently
j) has hands like this
k) sounds like the best sex of your life on audio
l) can draw
m) fucks like a goddamn pro <-- Sadly I cannot vouch for this, but the Lord said so himself.
n) he can sing
o) his hands
p) I may have a plate of ham in the kitchen to entice him (damn you veronamay that I started listening to this again)
q) HIS TEARS DEFINITELY CURE CANCER. (But since he doesn't cry we'll never know. Fuck Chuck Norris)

Hmm. Of that list of Arthur Conan Doyle stories, I think the most classic one (the one that gives you perhaps the best indicator of the Sherlock Holmes books) is The Hound of the Baskervilles. But it's a novel and it's long, so for a short story I'd suggest starting with any of the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

My personal favourite story (and the slashiest) is "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs", published in The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes but I don't see it on that list, unless I am looking in the wrong place. :((((

I have to admit, knowing Indira Varma is in it is enough to get me curious about a show!

Okay, as I have a pile of books threatening to barricade me in I will add Hound of the Baskervilles to the reading pile, but probably will not get to it for quite some time. I will definitely make sure to read your favorite story though :D

And Luther -- oh my god it's so fucking smart and pretty and the acting is superb (hardly shocking given the cast, but still). OMG! Ruth Wilson! I forgot to add Ruth Wilson.

Since "hound" is one of the clues Moffat has been giving us about next series, I'd definitely read it before next fall. And in that same vein, he also gave us "Adler" and "Reichenbach," so I would also check out "A Scandal in Bohemia" (in Adventures) and "The Adventure of the Final Problem" (in Memoirs).
