Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Ah yes! That helps! I did that when my toothache kept me up last week. It's so calming and very distracting!

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
When watching a wildlife documentary and the guy keeps talking about 'Baktrian Camels' and you hear something completely different... (also thanks to my bad hearing that often replaces words...)

When you wake from a dream 2.30am and do the best piece of story writing you've done for years until your alarm goes off at 6.30... whoops.

Wow!
I ditched it... it was pretty trite but really good for getting the right characterisation.
I now have an entire episode worth of ideas and rather than just write them during what I now realise was the euphoric spell of a migraine I'm making notes!
and my you know you're a fan for today is...
You wish the village where you practise with your operatic society had better mobile internet than GPRS as it means you can't check this forum before rehearsal!

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
I watched the brilliant but harrowing 'Deadline Gallipoli' last night...
and very inappropriately sniggered when the word 'Ballarat' appeared.

When you hear this on a TV show ('The Nations Wisest' nonetheless):
"Pygmalion Effect": The psychological effect that other's high expectations of you influence your performance positively.
And somehow you manage to think of Sherlock straight away.

When a student basically says "I read it in the news, so it must be true".
I'm appalled.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
One of the school kids was telling me today that her friends keep telling her to shut up, as she constantly talks about Harry Potter.
I said that I saw nothing wrong with that, as I constantly spoke about...
And the WHOLE group chimes: yes we know Mrs Smith...Sherlock Holmes!

As is the presentor.

PINK!
I have my own contribution to this topic today. I saw this colouring book at the bookstore and I honestly thought it said "Moftiss" when I first glanced at it.
