It's Sherlock Holmes' birthday! I celebrated it by drinking two cups of Sherlock tea and playing all the new puzzles on Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask. There were 42 new puzzles, I managed to solve two thirds of them before I noticed that two hours had passed and Sakura was loudly complaining because she wanted to go outside. That game is addictive. :D

Also, this is my new favourite gif:



(I never said this entry had to have any purpose, I just spent a lovely weekend after a very frightful week, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. :D )

Yay, LJ is working again! I'm starting to wonder if the LJ team uses the words "DDoS attack" when they mean "we messed something up". That, or Russian hackers have lots of time on their hands. Anyway! List of good things that happened while LJ was on holiday:

- my aunt arrived!
- I bought new earrings, they're little sparkly stars, very adorable.
- tomorrow I'll get my hair cut, and dye it too, so I'll take pictures of said haircut and earrings and maybe my Assassin's Creed sweater too and post them here. :D
- speaking of which, I'm getting really good at the AC Revelations multiplayer. My cousin will be proud.
- I bought the latest Professor Layton game (And the Last Spectre), and it's amazing! It's harder than the previous ones though, I got stuck on a few puzzles that made me curse a lot.

So, even if my favourite shows are plotting to get me down (seriously, what's going on? Angst everywhere I look), it's one really happy week here. :D

With real life being as blissfully boring as always, I have some fandom-related news. First, I bought the latest (here in Europe, that is) Professor Layton game, and the Unwound Future, and I'm freaking loving it. It has more cutscenes, more wonderful music, and the puzzles are fascinating as always. Maybe a bit easier, or I just got smarter by playing the other two games over and over again. Ok, let's go with easier.

I also pre-ordered the Rock Band 3 drums and guitar from Amazon, while I'll buy the game and keyboard from GameStop. Just the thought of the new instruments makes me drool. I'm counting the hours till I get my hands on them!

I finally bought the Across The Universe bluray. Saw the movie, loved it, kept me singing Beatles songs at ungodly hours, but I just needed to watch it in HD. The colours! The details! The strawberries! Hey Judey Judey Judey!

I'm levelling up for the Birth By Sleep ending. I decided I have to finish it before monday, when a friend of mine is coming over to have a long detailed conversation about it, but at the same time I'm trying to postpone it as long as I can. I have a feeling it's going to be the saddest KH ending ever. Yes, even angstier than 358/2's.

And now, have a few links! First, the best Inception fanfics ever can be found here. No kidding, this woman owns my soul now. Second, as you probably already know, Martin Freeman, aka John Watson, is going to play Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit, but the good news is, he will still be in the second season of Sherlock, as seen here. That makes me *so* happy, you have no idea.

About TV shows, the Big Bang Theory is still hilarious, although I'm starting to miss Penny, How I Met Your Mother is finally going back to the great show it was, after that disappointing start, and tomorrow it's Supernatural day, which is the best day of the week. :D
