A three day migraine has served to make me miserable. Head is still thumping away nicely, but at least it isn't quite as bad. Plus the nausea and double vision have stopped. After suffering from migraines and almost constant headaches for fifteen years you'd think I'd be used to it by now, wouldn't you?
Anywho, I spent most of yesterday lying down in a dark room listening to the BBC radio Sherlock Holmes.
The Cardboard Box - Is this Lestrade at his most thick? Normally he's just "conventional" as Holmes mocks, but here it seems like he's being wilfully stupid. He doesn't even listen when Holmes is practically handing him the clues. And what's his problem with medical students anyway? Bless him. ♥♥ I really love the stories with Lestrade in them. Also, Kevin Whately's pretty great in this.
The Dying Detective - How amazing is that story? How amazing is the radio adaptation? I think this might be my favourite from the BBC adaptations. It's one of those stories where everything is just brilliant; the villain who was a good, actually rather liberal and progressive man who became so blinkered by his work that it eventually drove him to murder. Not just that, but Holmes also being a devious bastard as well, tricking poor Watson like that. I must confess that I kinda like Holmes when he's a bit of bastard (you might already have gathered that).
I had more thoughts as well when I was lying there but I've forgotten them all except those.
On a completely unrelated note, something that amused me, one because it was hilarious/insane, and two because my finding out about it coincided with my uploading some new Reaper icons; according to a poll by Public Policy Polling, 14% of conservatives in New Jersey believe that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ! LOL, I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard that. Fundamentalists; they're the gift that keeps on giving. I mean, that's just crazy. I know I spent a lot of time comparing Tony Blair and/or Margaret Thatcher to Satan, but I didn't actually believe it! It was witty hyperbole!
Eh, I'm gonna lie down now.
