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.”

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.
