Sitting still, but still doing stuff

That's me at the moment, that is.

Getting massively hooked on this Sherlock Holmes box set. It's tremendously easy to get totally immersed in the world, and I'm only a fraction of the way through it so far. It's proving to be a source of fine inspiration, and I'm popping back into my notepads and my spreadsheets every episode or two to make some more notes or devise another plot element for my next project. I even think I have a name for the main character.

I'm still trying to get used to the second Watson. The first chap did a fine job and his replacement isn't quite fitting with me yet. Plenty of time though.

In any case, lots of fun is being had, and wonderfully I don't feel bad about idling around for a change! Because after all it's research, isn't it? Research, which is a bit like work, only with less effort! It's certainly a change from how I usually spend my Valentine's Day - cuddled up to my pillow, deep guttural sobs sticking in my throat and choking me, wishing I was dead.

Not really, of course. Although I have got an appointment with my sexy lady dentist first thing tomorrow morning, so I'll spend my day off having a pretty girl cause me enormous pain and suffering.

And when you think about it, isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about?
