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.

I don't need credits -- it looks like a non-credit course anyway, possibly being wedged in before the campus kicks back in properly after the winter break.

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. :)
