eldritchhobbit | Several Geektastic Reasons to Smile

I'm up to my eyeballs in work, but there are so many geeky reasons to smile at the moment, I just had to share the happiness...

* Yesterday was one of my favorite personal holidays, made all the more enjoyable because I never know the exact day it will occur. It was the first Starbucks pumpkin latte of the season. Autumn is on its gorgeous way! Come soon, dear fall!

* Today is the seventy-sixth birthday of the late, great Buddy Holly. Here, enjoy a song on me...

* Tonight, while lecturing on Edgar Allan Poe and his C. Auguste Dupin, I'll get to point out one of my happiest geek-girl moments of this year: spotting the apt genre tribute Moffat-n-Gatiss worked into the Sherlock episode "A Scandal in Belgravia." Whose portrait hangs on Sherlock's bedroom wall? Edgar Allan Poe's, fittingly enough. (Screencap or it didn't happen.)

* Tomorrow, Rupert Graves guest stars on Doctor Who. Enough said.

* Sunday, I'm to be interviewed by the kind folks at the MuggleNet Academia podcast. This will be difficult to do if I spontaneously combust the night before thanks to the Graves-on-Who goodness, so I'll try to keep it together. It won't be easy, though, I suspect.

“It is simple enough as you explain it,” I said, smiling. “You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe’s Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist outside of stories.”

I'm betting you'll survive to tape the podcast, but, frankly, it's a nail-biter! :)

It was a near thing. ;)

Sounds like you are just about to have a geekgasm. Hope you survive. Very interesting the Poe reference and the quote you used, because I recall Holmes was pretty pissed off to be compared to Dupin. Might have been jealousy though.

Geekgasm's a good word for it. ;)

Oh yes, Holmes had to point out that Dupin was inferior to his own good self. LOL. But he certainly knew who he was... lovely hat tip, there.

You're hilarious, Amy. Exciting for you about all your publications and interviews & whatnot. I also didn't know that Mugglenet has an Academia podcast. I'll have to give it a listen. Also, I hope you don't spontaneously combust; that would be rather unfortunate...for you and whoever else happens to be close by. :)

LOL! :)

FYI, my MuggleNet Academia podcast episode is up now: the details are here. It was great fun. Keith Hawk and John Granger interviewed me, and a lovely student from the UK (another Amy) also participated in the discussion. I've been really impressed with how they put together this podcast. If you listen, I hope you enjoy!

Fortunately, I stopped shy of combusting. But it was a near thing. Ha!

Mmmmm, pretty Rupert...

Oh man, now I need to wipe the drool off my keyboard again.

The drool. It's an ever-present hazard when contemplating His Gravesness.

Buddy Holly still has a timeless voice, even after all these years.

Seeing Edgar Allen Poe in Sherlock's bedroom makes me smile.

I hope the podcast went well!

Well said indeed! :D

Aw, I'm glad. Me, too.

I hope the podcast went well!

Thanks so much! I had a fantastic time.
