2011 is already off to an ... interesting... start
Last night on the Holmes newsletter, I saw a notice for a class using Sherlock Holmes (original) as an illustration/introduction to Victorian society as a whole.
Cool!
It's at a college near me.
COOL!
It's about to start, but it's not too late to sneak in at the last second if it's not full.
COOL!
....aaaaaaand then I started looking up little details like where and when and discovered that it runs for four hours a night every single work night for two weeks solid.
Not so cool.
Also in the article was a notice that someone in the town that my parents have just moved away from has turned his basement into 221B Baker St. and it's apparently brilliantly done.
*sigh*
These italics brought to you by a certain amount of frustration. I think the Red Circle's no longer around, but maybe I need to start looking into local Holmes groups. Or maybe I need to find an unabridged audio and catch up with canon while painting the house.

no subject
On the other hand, I also found out today that the Holmes class would conflict with a knitting class I want to take... and in the long run, I'm probably going to get more use out of knowing a new craft.
I'll just go to one of the local Holmesian groups later and suck up to anyone who went to the class. :)
