    Thank you, gently. I had this in my English text book in Oberstufe.

    I never was at the Oberstufe. So that's all absolutely new for me ... the whole Shakespeare stuff.
    But hey ... it's awesome. And if I wouldn't be that interested in Benedict I maybe would have never ...

    But it is lovely to discover it through him, isn't it? Wish he could have read it to us thirty years ago.

    One day you should thank him for that in person, gently. 
    I never liked "As you like it" all that much, but this part really gives me goosebumps.

    I just bought a new Christmas decoration (Yes, I know... way too early.) But guess what it is?

    It's a Pengwing!

    And I'm naming it Benny!

    Oh you've just reminded me.
    I was listening to a reading group at school today.
    We came to the word 'pigeon'.
    But the girl read it as 'penguin'.
    Honestly, all the kids thought I'd totally lost the plot...
    I was about on the floor laughing!

    Awh hahah!



    At the party Friday my best friends boyfriend was dressed like Chaplin and I had to teach him to do the walk (which I am still painfully paying for...)
    My friend almost screamed laughing at his attempt "You look like a retarded Penguin!" and her and I both agreed that must be what a 'Pengwing' is...

    Here is a nice article about season 3 and some ideas of Benedict's about his character but the most lovely thing is how he cares about his fans:

    See, he does care about and appreciate us.  He knows that the psycho demanding fans are the exception and not the rule.

    I love the article.

See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?
