“On the days when you are not waving your arms like a loon, Tracy Anderson has another DVD called Dance Cardio Workout. It’s so incredibly hard that I can only do twenty minutes of it. From what I can gather, it is completely unexplained jumping to the dulcet beeping of late Madonna. You have to jump for a whole hour. I’m so tired afterward I actually have to go to sleep.” EXACTLY HOW...

Can we talk about Mycroft Holmes?
ibelieveinmycroft: As you may have gathered, I believe in Mycroft Holmes. Many do not. There has been a lot of hate towards the eldest Holmes brother since Reichenbach and I’m not of the opinion that any of it is deserved. While we may have a year to wait to discover the truth, and it is a capital offence for a Sherlockian to theorise without data, it is inconceivable to me that the events...

ibelieveinmycroft: thecutteralicia asked: Hello dear. As you’re a native Brit, could you analyze Mycroft’s accent? To my ears, Mark speaks quite deliberately and differently from his normal voice when playing Mycroft. Hello my dear! Your ear is perfectly correct. Mark Gatiss’ natural accent is from county Durham, in the north of England, whereas Mycroft’s voice is more deliberately cultured,...

to dorothy by marvin bell
You are not beautiful, exactly. You are beautiful, inexactly. You let a weed grow by the mulberry and a mulberry grow by the house. So close, in the personal quiet of a windy night, it brushes the wall and sweeps away the day till we sleep. A child said it, and it seemed true: "Things that are lost are all equal."
