Afferent neurons in the peripheral nervous system are cold -- shrinkage. Poor baby! But for a great cause. <3

Ooooo, just pulled out my Folger Library edition of Antony and Cleopatra. Would love to see Sir Benedict as Antony! A great man of high stature w a tragic flaw who brings about his own downfall. Rinse & repeat. . . . It would still be terrific show. ". . . a rarer spirit never did steer humanity, but you, gods, will give us faults to make us men."

International book covers of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Sparkling! Well done, gentlemen.

Quite quite random…

Well, at least this time his randomness is a tree and not some lake w water up to his waist, freezin' off his nips. (And, hey, we all know cookie ELVES & DORKS live in trees.) What a gorgeous old oak, cashmere coat and well groomed wood sprite.

Aww, sheet! Um, I mean, sweet sheet. <3

Have a swimmingly fun birthday, Mr. Holmes.

More birthday cheer for Ben. This time from San Diego where the joint is jumpin'. The meet started yesterday; horses are running at Del Mar. Comic Con started today. BC was nominated for a Grammy! And today/tomorrow is his Birthday. God is in his heaven. All's right with the world.  (But, erhm, we still have to wait several more months for S3.)   Happy Birthday, Benedict! 

If Sherlock had a female cousin, who was an artist and lived in America . . . Prob look like this New Yorker cartoon.

From our Creative Life Collection, Judith Thurman’s 2012 Profile of the cartoonist Alison Bechdel:

“Bechdel doesn’t outline her stories, which jump back and forth in time, so much as map them, using the cards as placeholders for her scenes. Her untidy blueprint reminded me of yet another kind of house: a memory palace.”
