The Cumberbatch




It's one of my main goals to see Benedict Cumberbatch while in London (along with you know, completing my Masters). For those of you who are unfamiliar, he is most known in the States as playing Sherlock Holmes in the awesome BBC/PBS version (which is honestly very very good, if you haven't seen. Go watch it tonight. And no it's not that show on CBS called Elementary. Or the movie with Robert Downey Jr. Just go here. Geez). He's also going to be in the upcoming Star Trek and Hobbit films, for those of you who like that sort of thing. I might become a Trekkie just to see him and Chris Pine in the same film frame.

ANYHOO, he's actually been in a ton of other films as well, but it's one of those things where you only realize it about five years after the fact when you're randomly watching The Other Boleyn Girl on the airplane and see his face. (Don't lie, you know you'd choose that movie too if it was just between that and the/any Katherine Heigl one). I've become a big fan of his in the last few years and just want to be able to come home and say, "Oh ya, Benny and I had a pint that one time"....or more realistically, "Oh ya, I saw him on the tube and followed him five blocks and then ran away without saying anything to him".

(Side note- you might think I'm slightly crazy, but when I did a google image search for the above picture, I found way too much homemade fan art, so there are at least a few other people who are a tad crazier than I am about this chap).

 So begins my Cumberbatch Calendar:

A Few Things That Are Currently Keeping Me From Jumping Into the Thames

I'm knee deep in it, folks. Need to do: 12,000 word dissertation (!), two 5,000 word essays (!!), one 2,500 word essay (!!!), and one 2,000 word essay (.....sorry I passed out for a second). BASICALLY, I'm close to the end of my rope (see what I did there?!) However, there are a few things that I just can't get enough of at the moment that are making the process a little easier. Hope you like them too! ....and that you don't have to write 26,500 words in the next month because that's MY THING. GET YOUR OWN. honeyhoney - "Lost Highway" (Hank Williams cover) I've been obsessed with hh for a few years now and the obsession is not letting up anytime soon. They're such a great blend of folk, americana, and indie. Plus they are a joy to see play live since they have such great personalities. (I swear, I'm not their manager....I wish). I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at a small pub here in London and they killed it, per usual. Esp...

Happy Father's Day

Since my father is basically the main source of material for this blog, it only seems fitting to dedicate today's post to him. So Happy Father's Day to the man who taught me how to trip with grace and humor. Love you Dad!

Freelancer (Unemployed) Life

Image
IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS?! God, I'm sorry. I feel like I went out for cigarettes and then just left you guys for the traveling troubadour that I met at an open mic night. Truthfully, I didn't feel like I had anything to write about when I stopped traveling around Europe and having adorable fish out of water experiences. But weirdly, a lot of life still managed to happen here in the good ol' USA (I will not talk politics) and, as I am now currently writing this in a coffee shop, my transition into Basic Brooklyn Hipster is now complete. The biggest change has been in my "career". After having a job in a different field for two years, I am back in the TV world and am currently a freelancer...which is a fancy way of saying I'm unemployed a lot of the time. It's a temporary life, but it's one that has been filled with nuggets of self-awareness and eye-opening realizations. Here are 10 things I've discovered while freelancing/riding that unemploym...
