• 04:24:38: @deepestsilence But that A- now means that I really, really should. 3.39 this semester :(
  
• 04:28:30: @deepestsilence You only need a 3.25? Not a 3.5? I thought everything above like the lowest one or two required the higher.
  
• 04:31:49: @deepestsilence *eep* I didn't get one, but should have, so idk. Maybe it came to the house in Spfd.
  
• 04:32:12: @deepestsilence Also, I can't find anything about this class anywhere, so I'm kinda wary of going in blind in case it backfires.
  
• 04:36:10: @deepestsilence Did you change it on the My.MSU site? That's where I did.
  
• 04:48:32: @deepestsilence Do you know if there are shortish summer courses? I mean, DNW to spend my entire summer in school, but like 1-2wks....
  
• 04:52:22: HAHAHAHA. Was supposed to take the GRE sometime this break and apply for the grad program before classes started. Well, fuck.
  
• 05:27:25: Trying to date the line in Sherlock Holmes where Watson suggests what Irene is looking for in H is a beard. I'm getting 1950s. Anachronism?
  
• 05:51:26: @deepestsilence I need you to tell me this is a good rationalization. I'm not going to go take that class because one week means prolly
  
• 05:51:43: @deepestsilence one test, and if I fuck things up, there's no time to try and fix it with other tests or whatnot.
  
• 05:52:16: @deepestsilence Too dangerous, in short. We just must work asses off this sem. Not pleased with my schedule, though--8-3 almost every day.
  
• 06:00:42: @deepestsilence And with psych of cancer, it's not like it could even be a multiple choice test, really. Probably just an essay. Which I'm
  
• 06:00:55: @deepestsilence awesome at, but who knows if she'll think so. /modestynone.
  
• 06:11:27: Wait a sec. If Patrick Stewart's only getting an OBE, he doesn't get to be "Sir" unless she knights him separately. OBE doesn't get you Sir.
  
• 06:29:02: @deepestsilence Oh, most gratified that you would inform me so that I could join in this perilous mission.
  
• 06:29:10: @deepestsilence I trust you did not forget *your* revolver.
  
• 06:31:02: @deepestsilence What did the child have to tell you? I presume you got more out of her than those blunders at Scotland Yard did.
  
• 06:36:55: @deepestsilence You think three separate churches, or merely one church and the child ran slowly enough to catch three strikes?
  
• 06:39:04: @deepestsilence What do you think of the fish warehouse in Whtechpl, Watson? It seems to satisfy the 1-corner rule, as well as the other ev.
  
• 06:40:39: @deepestsilence (The three times thing wasn't recorded in the casebook, and methinks it would be if it was important.)
  
• 06:41:38: @deepestsilence Indeed. There's only one possibility of route to pass 3 churches unless we are wrong about the 1/2mi limit, which I doubt.
  
• 06:42:20: @deepestsilence And the letter from The Order you found seems to suggest that a factory would not be the destination intended.
  
• 06:49:08: @deepestsilence Ah, but this could have been simply a timing matter. Often, 1 can walk through that area ignorant of shipping vehicles.
  
• 06:54:35: @deepestsilence A map I scrawled on a few days ago may perhaps explain my logic concisely, if illegibly: http://twitpic.com/whw5u
  
• 06:56:28: Chocolate security? Wrapped tower of boxes, inside box is a bag containing individually wrapped chocolates each w/ another interior wrapper.
  
• 06:57:51: @deepestsilence "Not bad", meaning the smell. I was thinking along the same lines as the girl herself, I believe--
  
• 06:58:20: @deepestsilence passing a coffee factory would be a rather pleasant way to spend an afternoon peramble.
  
• 07:02:36: @deepestsilence Nevertheless, my scouring of this map (again, Watson, remind me to have Mrs. Hudson pick us up a better one) leads me to
  
• 07:03:11: @deepestsilence believe that her "only turning one corner" assertion eliminates all warehouses as possibilities but one.
  
• 07:06:07: @deepestsilence Shall we discuss our wager first? Though this is more your realm than mine, we have a decision to make regarding whether
  
• 07:06:37: @deepestsilence we intend to aim high or not. You've mentioned the possibilities of an international book deal should this case go well
  
• 07:07:47: @deepestsilence for us, & though the chances are infinitesimal, I'd hate to see our deduction prove wrong and end up harming your chances.
  
• 07:08:10: @deepestsilence But on the other hand, without one of my more. . . spectacular reveals, shall we say, the case mightn't achieve the level of
  
• 07:09:00: @deepestsilence --bind my hands for saying it, but--fame required to push your next novel to the international stage.
  
• 07:09:42: @deepestsilence (Trying to spin that into character--whew! Are we all in?)
  
• 07:12:01: @deepestsilence (Max bet is 5000 D:)
  
• 07:14:40: @deepestsilence Done. Lemme know, as I had to close it because it won't update if it's open.
  
• 07:21:19: @deepestsilence Damn. Only the one? Just when we think the noose is being tightened 'round these blackguards' necks, we have to chase them
  
• 07:22:09: @deepestsilence anew for the life of another. Really quite exhilarating, I must admit. Though, ahem, the girl, of course is the priority.
  
• 07:26:57: @deepestsilence Yes, well. With such a deeply caring medical man like you to remind me, how *could* I forget? /blatantly false sincerity
  
• 07:27:12: @deepestsilence *steals kiss*
  
• 07:29:38: @deepestsilence PROBABLY THEY ARE ALL THIEVES AND FAILFACES AND DON'T DESERVE THE TITLE "DOCTOR".
  
• 07:31:16: @deepestsilence Do they ever actually use a drill? I just figure lots of scalpeling.
  
• 07:33:54: @deepestsilence Hmm. Idk. Assumed they just cracked it open wider and pulled.
  
• 07:52:07: @deepestsilence Hee. Should be Sparta. All of my dentist visits are comparably destructive.
  
• 07:57:52: @deepestsilence I'm not going mad; Q does come right before R, yes? This cipher on Grace's arm is baffling.
  
• 08:02:58: @deepestsilence Excellent. Ah, they read the last character as 'F'. I did wonder. Makes more sense now: Ignore the ones that do not live.
  
• 08:09:50: @deepestsilence Hmm. Slip of the pen on the final "X"? Wouldn't put it past them--whoever did this was clearly in a hurry. The pyramid on
  
• 08:10:15: @deepestsilence Grace's back is missing lines to delineate two final bricks on the bottom row, if I'm following the sequence correctly.
  
• 08:21:14: @deepestsilence Hmm. And the boxed words in the message correspond to the triangular numbers of the pyramid. But what could be the key?
  
• 08:32:37: @deepestsilence So, ignoring the ones that do not live on the left arm leaves us with "fear." The other arm says "rafters". Could that be
  
• 08:33:13: @deepestsilence where the other girl is being hidden, in the rafters somewhere? Or does the latin correspond to the "rafters" clue?
  
• 08:33:46: @deepestsilence Since the "do not live" applied to the hieroglyphics right above it, could the other arm say "after"?
  
• 08:36:18: @deepestsilence Indeed--RafterS, minus the R and S is a perfectly suitable word, so perhaps that is the solution to that arm.
  
• 08:39:10: @deepestsilence And there were 10 bricks in the row of the pyramid that Miss Blandford called "missing"--I mightn't have thought anything
  
• 08:40:27: @deepestsilence of it had she not chosen that particular word to highlight the row, as I presumed it merely arbitrarily covered bythe banner
  
• 08:44:46: @deepestsilence Ditto, but I think I almost have it, old chap. Let me finish working this out aloud.
  
• 08:45:05: @deepestsilence Perhaps *that* is the significant number to take out of the pyramid rather than 15 or the incomplete 21
  
• 08:45:17: @deepestsilence (my first thought, due to its notability as abandoning the pattern as-is), which do not have boxed words.
  
• 08:45:58: @deepestsilence If this is the case, the 10th word seems to be "followeth". "Fear followeth after" seems to be the only coherent phrase I
  
• 08:46:13: @deepestsilence manage to compose, but it's worth a try.
  
• 09:01:16: @deepestsilence (We're seeking the Master, LOL. So, off to Gallifrey, y/y? Bring the Doctor, they can't seem to stay away from each other.)
  
• 09:08:54: @deepestsilence Watson! *checks your pocketwatch* We have no time to waste. You gather Lestrade and the troops, I'll head to St. Pauls!
  
• 09:09:57: @deepestsilence *runs out. Sans revolver. Also left the stove on.*
  
• 09:10:25: @deepestsilence Not really! Holmes' experimental subject. I tried "flies", but it's apparently the other one.
  
• 09:12:18: @deepestsilence "He's killed the dog. . . again."
  
• 09:13:15: @deepestsilence And or "You experiment on my dog!" "*Our* dog." "--THE dog."
  
• 09:14:53: @deepestsilence "Wife let you out on a pass" part?
  
• 09:16:22: @deepestsilence Not really. I assumed it had something to do with the credits of the film.
  
• 09:17:08: @deepestsilence Her Majesty's Secret Service is in control of the device? Why, Watson, this is incredible news indeed! I shall write to
  
• 09:17:37: @deepestsilence Mycroft at once--he will be able to tell us the results of anything the Service uncover.
  
• 09:18:19: @deepestsilence Gladstone. That's what I typed.
  
• 09:18:57: @deepestsilence (Oh, sorry. Thought you'd already unlocked it. My last few make more sense after Lestrade's message.)
  
• 09:34:17: @deepestsilence Well, John. Care to wager on how long after this Moriarty raises his head once more that we will be called into the fray?
  
• 09:35:19: @deepestsilence Lestrade's "best people" have certainly failed to prove their worth in this case.
  
• 09:44:28: @deepestsilence *raises eyebrow* What *exactly* did you have in mind, Doctor? Fancy showing me some of those. . . more illegal habits?
  
• 09:45:25: @deepestsilence (Realized I wrote that last w/ Garak's voice talking to Bashir in my head. I think he may have said the 1st part before.)
  
• 09:47:08: @deepestsilence *clears throat* *leans in* *whispers* My lovely Doctor John Watson. Would you care to take me back to our house, up to
  
• 09:47:40: @deepestsilence our room, and bugger me senseless? *leans back, normal voice* I do believe we've earned a spot of celebration, don't you?
  
• 09:49:53: @deepestsilence Oh, I fancy I know you could do. Shall we away?
  
• 09:51:26: @deepestsilence And then they done secks, and it was hot.
  
• 09:54:07: @deepestsilence God, *my* mouth hurts from smiling, and I didn't even just have it sliced open!
  
• 09:54:32: "Of course, one cannot simply use one's penis as a sexiness barometer for
  your lovemaking scenes ...OR CAN ONE?" Ahh, VJB, how I love thee.
  
• 09:55:12: @deepestsilence Also, 7,036 words. This is officially the longest fic I've ever written. I mean, collaboratively.
  
• 09:56:20: @deepestsilence This. Somuchawesome and somuchgay. Which are synonyms, of course.
  
• 10:00:04: @deepestsilence Voq Je Bang. My B'Elanna/Seven group that I think was my first fanfic list (back when it was all mailing lists) ever.
  
• 10:06:46: @deepestsilence I thought it was amusing. We've been around for 10 years now, and one rather notable author popped her head back in with
  
• 10:07:10: @deepestsilence promise of more fic--and get this. Remember how right before Christmas, I had started reading that incomplete epic fic and
  
• 10:07:45: @deepestsilence was all gushy about how it was the same greatness of writing from She Who Hesitates that I'd read OVER NINE THOUSAND times
  
• 10:08:11: @deepestsilence but this time I didn't know what was going to happen next and that was awesome? SHE MIGHT BE FINISHING IT.
  
• 10:09:35: @deepestsilence IKNOWIKNOWIKNOW, RIGHT? Hopefully. Was cryptic, said she's working on something, this was suggested and she was all "shh!"
  
• 10:11:58: @deepestsilence Also, I still do not know how I'm writing the Jack/Doctor scene in my fic. I mean, I just need to try and let it come, but
  
• 10:12:38: @deepestsilence I've no plan, and... idk, I've got a big emotional shift to pull out which will take some careful wording, so I wish I did.
  
• 10:22:33: Quote of the day--nay, decade. Eminent scientist Richard Dawkins: "Science is interesting. And if you don't agree, you can fuck off."
  
• 12:31:54: Googled "frock-coat" just to get a better picture than the Wikipedia sketches, and damn, there are some hot mens in hot clothes that pop up.
  
• 12:33:14: May be only hot to me and my period-clothing fetish, but whatevs. Give me a girl in a corset and a man in a frock-coat. . . UNF.
  
• 17:51:30: Back from the symphony. It only took two notes before my chest started aching with how much I miss being in there, playing with them.
  
• 17:53:34: In less depressing news, music was great (Disney!), clips/pics they showed weren't synced well to the music=boo, but overall v. nice.
  
• 17:55:30: But seriously, literal ache. Idk. I just get like that. And the live music!tears started bits, but this time more for a reason bc... *sighs*
  
• 17:57:27: Once upon a time, going to orchestra was the *only* thing that kept me getting up in the am--now I don't have that, and I miss it *so* hard.
