Welcoming a new month is exciting yet terrifying because it reminds us how fast time flies. Usually I don't get too excited with a new month. For me that's just a regular day I go through, the most important thing about it, though, that it marks our time. But now, I found an exciting way to welcome a new month!
Sherlockology gives us a downloadable 2012 calendar, but you have to arrange anagram in each month in order to get access to the download link. Wicked!
Those are January and February calendars. I just downloaded March, of course I can't show it, yet. So Sherlockian, go and have fun solving the riddle! ;)
I knew this song from The Reichenbach Fall BBC Sherlock. How they pick a powerful song, I don't know. Sherlock's crew is terribly genius. I thought it was a man's voice, though. But still, Nina Simone, you brilliantly rip off my heart and make my emotion goes upside down.
Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to? Sinnerman, where you gonna run to? Where you gonna run to? All on that day Well I run to the rock, please hide me I run to the rock,please hide me I run to the rock, please hide me, Lord All on that day But the rock cried out, I can't hide you The rock cried out, I can't hide you The rock cried out, I ain't gonna hide you guy All on that day I said, Rock, what's a matter with you rock?

Though in fact, bring me to fly with you, Mr. Holmes. I'm bored here, except for my conversation course. I'll have written test tomorrow, wish me luck.
I miss Sherlock. I miss the sound of its opening song which then followed by seconds of excitements, breath-taking scenes. Now I (and all the Sherlockians) am waiting for 3rd series. We never know exactly when it'll aired. Who can predict what Moffat and Gatiss think, by the way? Give times to the geniuses to work.
In meantime, I can't stop surf the fandom. They are Tumblr-base and extremely hilarious. They actually make me become crazier over Sherlock cure me of the longing for Sherlock.
How to run a show like an asshole:
Most Show Creators:We'd just like to let all our fans know that we've been signed on for a second AND a third season! Woo-hoo! You guys are great, thanks for all the love and support!
Team Mofftiss:Yeah guys, we've got season two coming. No idea if a third season is in the cards though.
Team Mofftiss:Still no word on a third season. Martin Freeman is busy hobbiting around New Zealand and Benedict Cumberbatch is like a fuckin' superstar now. Idek, guys.
Team Mofftiss:Why does everybody assume there is going to be a third season? It's really not looking likely. I mean, practically everybody dies at the end of season two anyway.
-Reichenbach airs-
Team Mofftiss:LOL YOU FUCKS, WE'VE BEEN SIGNED ON FOR SEASON THREE SINCE THE BEGINNING.
Benedict's reading John Keats? Are you kidding me? OF COURSE IT IS A TURN ON. How on earth it is possible to be a turn off?? I had an eargasm when I listened to it with earphone. Man with poem/poetry always a turn on. And that answer is COMPLETELY TRUE.
Honestly, I feel a bit uncomfortable to put these Sherlock Uncovered videos (because of the SOPA issue). But I can't bear my excitement to share. Somebody has already uploaded it on Youtube. Well then, you know, once it's uploaded, the whole world can see.
I think my favorite is at 4:10 in Part 2. LOL. What creature are you, Ben? You possess a face of heaven and a deep tiger-in-a-cello voice yet sometimes can show some derpiness. :))))))))
Okay, this is 2 am. I blame you again, Sherlock, for making me sleep this late. :p
I was lurking on fandom, again. And this is what I found:
I just had a moment of realisation while watching the Sherlock titles.
I love us.
I love everything about us. I love the basis of our show; I love where it takes us, I love the people behind it, I love the people in it, I love the visuals, I love the soundtrack, I love the heroes (though they refuse to be), I love the villains, I love their relationships, I love the authorities. I love the fandom, I love our jokes, our stories, our ideas, how much we study each episode as if our lives depended on the conclusion. I love the suspense, I love the complexity, I love the humour, I love the terror, I love the sensuality, I love the mystery. Everything.
Sherlock is not just some detective show. It’s the detective show. Our show.
What Daily Mail UK said about The Reichenbach Fall's Sherlock:
It was one of the most nail-biting television cliffhangers in recent years that left viewers on the edge of their seats.
And it summed up the speculations of how Sherlock faked his death:
1. He was helped in his plan by pathologist Molly Hooper who arranged a cadaver to replace Sherlock's 'dead' body on the floor and she would create a death certificate and arrange for paramedics to being him back to the morgue where she would help him escape.
2. It wasn't Sherlock that fell from the roof but Moriarty. When he shot and killed himself on the roof, Sherlock wrapped him in his coat and threw him over the ledge.
3. Fans have suggested that Moriarty was behind the kidnapping and wore a mask that looked like Sherlock - which the detective then put on Moriarty's dead body before pushing him off the roof.Or it was one of Moriarty's henchmen who had surgery to look like Holmes but was killed and replaced Sherlock's 'dead' body on the ground.
4. Holmes jumped and landed safely in a rubbish truck that was parked on the street, providing him a soft landing and allowing whoever was in on the plan to hide in there with a body that replaced Sherlock on the ground.
5. Sherlock's brother Mycroft was also in on the plan and arranged for the cyclist to knock Dr Watson down, causing enough of a diversion for Sherlock to pretend to be lying dead on the pavement before being safely taken away in the back of a waiting ambulance.
6. Dr Watson either imagined the fall from an hallucinogenic drug that makes you realise your worse fears, and imagined he'd seen his friend's body on the ground when it was actually someone else.
And here, one more thing. Fandom curse Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss as well as they praise them, a lot. Well, it's all only jokes, you know, and it's amusing. The duo also has a Twiiter acount and they often tweet about Sherlock, but mostly tease us to guess what happen in the next Sherlock episode. And here one of the fan creation about them:
DO YOU KNOW WHY MOFFAT AND GATISS TROLL TWITTER? THEY’RE NOT PAID OR ANYTHING. THEY LIKE IT. THEY GET OFF ON IT. THE CRAZIER THE SHERLOCK FANS FREAK OUT, THE MORE THEY GET OFF AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT? ONE DAY JUST POSTING ELUSIVE TWEETS WON’T BE ENOUGH. ONE DAY WE’LL BE WATCHING THE MOST HEARTBREAKING HOUR AND A HALF OF OUR LIVES, AND MOFFAT AND GATISS WILL BE THE ONES WHO PUT IT THERE.
Haha, I don't even change the capslock font. If you as freak as I am, or if you already watched A Study in Pink, you'll understand. It was Sally Donovan's line :))))))
So, I just watched The Reichenbach Fall last night, twice. Sounds crazy, but I couldn't sleep last night. I watched it twice, and now I can't watch it anymore without crying. I was screaming, crying, and grossly sobbing until 3 am. Sorry of being too sentimental, but it is the cruelest episode of Sherlock ever. ;((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
It was cruel from the beginning. At the very first minutes, we forced to face that Sherlock is dead. John's expression when he told his therapist that his bestfriend died was... precious. I could feel the lost at him (brilliant acting skills, Martin has). Then chains of cases that Sherlock solved which attracts more media to have him on the papers. He became a famous celebrity but he totally didn't amuse with it. Many people told him not to show off, not to be clever, in fact they ordered him not to be himself... which is very heartbreaking.
And then came Moriarty, scary as hell. He made everyone doubt about Sherlock. John is the only one who still believe him (Mycroft didn't count for he's so ignorant). And he played Richard Brook, for God's sake!!! Okay, I can't tell it in orders. I'm in shock. The point is, TRF is so damn good, I could feel the rage, the emptiness, the.. everything.
And the rooftop scene was THE MOST TORN-HEART-APART SCENE. The phone call... "I'm fake." "I invented Moriarty." "...but the very first time we met, very first time." "No one could be that clever." "You could."
"Goodbye, John." And he fell.
John's dialogue to Sherlock's grave was... oh my God: "Umm.. you, you ever told me once that you weren't a hero. There were times I didn't even think you're human. But let me tell you this, you're the best man, the most human being I've ever known and no-one will ever convince me that you told me a lie. I was so alone, and I owe you so much. But please, one more thing, one more miracle, for me, Sherlock. Don't. Be. Dead. Stop it, stop this!--(cries)"
While John was speaking to his grave, Sherlock's observing from a distance. Well and alive. I.. I just... .No, I just.. can't.
Okay, now I'm crying, actually crying. This is how Sherlock with its only 6 episodes can make its fans become emotionally invested with it. Sorry, since I'm obsessed with it, I found TRF is very heartbreaking. And I'm not alone, I looked the fandom and I can say they were far more sentimental. There are lots of speculations of how Sherlock survived. It comforts me, really. Ridiculous, I know.
I'll show you some funny posts made by fandom, later.
Oh, if anybody have no idea what Sherlock is, here’s the Wikipedia link for general information. I just can tell you that is a sleuth-drama series produced by BBC. Yes, it is about Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Just like the one you watch in cinema lately. Sherlock is a modern interpretation of the canon, old-fashioned Sherlock Holmes. It is AWESOME and BRILLIANT. I love every aspects, cast, crew, every details in it. Oh God.
I even join the fandom, which is ridiculously insane. Everyone’s analyzing a dialogue, scene, properties, anything. Gotta love Claire for her Tumblr account (Crumpets, I've been Cumberbatched), specially made for share her madness of Benedict Cumberbatch (oh, I envy her so much for she had many chances to meet and see Benedict). Sherlock makes me want to go to London even more!
Sadly, it is only 3 episodes every season. And there’s only 2 seasons (I think I have mentioned it earlier). I don’t know why Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat (the writer and producer) torture me and all Sherlockians out there that mean. Season 1 is aired in BBC 1 in 2010. I found out Sherlock in August 2011, when I was watching TV, shifting channels and stop in AXN Beyond with no purpose, I see the scene which the first time Sherlock meets John (A Study in Pink). At first I was like, “oh, I never see it before, what’s this?”. And then Benedict Sherlock said with his British accent in deep sexy voice, introduced himself to John, “the name’s Sherlock Holmes and the address is 221 B Baker Street--*wink*--afternoon!” he dashed out with his long coat.
And then I was, MY GOD. MY DEAR GOD, WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THAT?
I was drooling like an idiot, everytime I watch it in AXN.
Then I’m officially crazy for it, especially for *cough* Benedict *cough*. The bad side is I was getting into Sherlock a lot while August-September is when I should be totally focus to do my thesis. Therefore, I couldn’t think why this bloody yeast didn’t grow or why this tauco is much saltier than the other. There’s a imaginary stage, in my mind, which play Sherlock’s scene over and over again. Damn you, Sherlock! :D
But I don’t regret anything. No. I don’t know whether it’s a blessing or a disaster to obsessed with Sherlock. I just thank God for it. That’s what human do, anyway, right? I thank my dad too to subscribe the Indovision channels so I can watch AXN Beyond. Thank you Gema and Yogas for “the access” to every episode of Sherlock. And thank you Benedict for being lovely, I mean, for playing Sherlock beautifully. :D
I love how Sherlock and my conversation class enrich me with new vocabularies. Wicked! ;)
So, here's a little Sherlock's delight for you:
Oh and tomorrow the final episode of season 2 (dammit!) will be aired in BBC 1. The Reichenbach Fall, actually I'm not ready for it in any form. *sobbing*
