ink_splotchI am quite distraught that this did not come to my attention sooner. Then again, I've thought the telegram dead for years, so it wouldn't have been a shock. Still, it does quite finally end the industrial/modern age, doesn't it?
As it is a rainy day, I am watching my Sherlock Holmes DVDs. Oh, sigh. I'm currently at The Empty House, and I know I've mentioned it before, but Jeremy Brett's facial expression just kill me. When he's up on the ledge, just about to call out - his face breaks my heart into little pieces. And then, when he and Watson (and Hardwicke is just perfect as Watson, his expression also doing wonders for the character - just the way he *looks* at Holmes!), when he and Watson meet up again, they have this wonderful, restrained conversation which just betrays all the hurt and the *love* that Watson has for Holmes, and Brett's expression just so clearly state that he *does* care and he's suffered from the absence as well, but he couldn't do it any other way, and even though it's still raw, and Watson's still hurt, it's *okay* because Holmes is alive, and then Watson tucks him in and words cannot express the wonderfullness of that scene. And of course, it set of major anglophile pangs in me - I want to go to London! I want to roam on moors! I think it very probable that I will be spending a good deal of my easter break re-reading the Canon. And watching the episodes. And re-watching The Great Mouse Dectective - it's one of the few movie adaption who *gets* the relationship between Watson and Holmes (or in their case, Basil and Dawson). So at least I shan't be bored, until I meet up with Sofie and Tess.
In other news, I've put Sussex up as my firm choice university. It's a very scary feeling, having made a choice; I can't help feeling like I may have made the wrong choice, or that I should have consider other universities more closely, or that I should have considered other things than I did, or that I simply shouldn't be going to university, but I'm supressing this. Because somewhere in me, I know I made the right choice. At least, I hope I have.
Finally, I wish my amazon package had come today - it should've; Amazon says the order's complete. Speaking of Amazon, my studybreak gift to myself this year is going to be Victor/Victoria and Mary Poppins. I need my Julie fix!
