/r/Sherlock is a strange and surreal place where half of the users have clearly never set foot inside tumblr and the other half obviously have fandom blogs.

so I found a John Watson’s Sweater knitting pattern

“Skills required will be: knit and purl, cables, knitting in the round, knitting flat, increasing stitches, shoulder shaping with short rows, three needle bind off, sewn seams.”

what are cables

what is knitting in the round, does that have to do with those needles with wiry plastic connecting them

is knitting flat just like ordinary knitting

is increasing stitches where you cast(/bind? Do some people call it binding? I’ve been assuming “bind off” means the same as “cast off”) on a stitch in the middle of a row or something

what is shoulder shaping

WHY WOULD YOU NEED THREE NEEDLES

…do I even know how to knit

…So I just added the word “Reichenfeels” to my firefox spellcheck.

awwww nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Regular Show beat Phineas and Ferb for the Emmy.

but

it was the episode where they all go to Drusselstein

that one is so good though

it has The Drusselstein Driving Test Waltz

and the hilarious villagers with their red and blue left and right signs

Vanessa does her own variation upon the Doofenshmirtz jingle

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF MY LIFE THAT I HAVE EVER CARED ABOUT THE EMMYS

AND I WASN’T EVEN THAT DISAPPOINTED THAT SHERLOCK DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING

I mean, I was, but

I wasn’t all that disappointed

Maybe because I really, just was certain that Phineas and Ferb were going to win?

I woke up from a dream a few minutes ago. It took place in my kitchen. In this dream, I either had Sherlock’s voice or was working with Sherlock to determine whether there were maggots inside any of a pile of those tiny ice cream containers that you get in school cafeterias. Except in the dream, they were filled with red slushies instead?

I could have been Sherlock, and really anyone could have been working with me since I didn’t see them during the dream. Although that may have also been Sherlock. I dunno.

This dream had nothing to do with Sherlock whatsoever besides that, really. I had no incredible way of deducing which containers had maggots or anything - we were poking them with spoons.

The first time either of us found any maggots, my reaction was “ewh.” But the second time I found maggots, they were terrifying and horrible and eight times as large as the previous maggots.

I can’t tell if I’m afraid of large maggots now, or if it’s dream aftershock.

You know how earlier I reblogged this Moriarty fanart and I was like “welp time to find me some Jim desktop wallpapers”?

Yeah, I was lazy and just set that actual piece of fanart as my wallpaper, even though it’s a bit small. That isn’t why I’m making this post.

I’m making this post because I keep talking to it. It may be important to note that I have two monitors set up side by side but I only really use one of them, so he’s just staring right at me out of the corner of my eye.

I’d say I was half worried about cameras in my home keeping watch on me, but honestly if Jim Moriarty planted cameras to keep watch on me I’d be more confused and delighted than worried.

In unrelated news, this browser I’ve been using recently does something weird to Tumblr and gets rid of all the text editing buttons and makes me do everything in HTML. Rather than figuring out how to install a different browser (my older brother very recently set up a separate user account for me with this browser already installed, so don’t worry - it is not IE) or actually confronting my brother about it and asking for help, I’ve simply been learning HTML.

That probably says something about my personality.
