Several Geektastic Reasons to Smile

[eldritchhobbit]

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.”
- Watson to Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet

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

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.

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. :)

Mmmmm, pretty Rupert...

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

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

It was a near thing. ;)

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

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.

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!

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.
