Le freak c'est chic!

Harriet · October 30, 2012 12:11 pm

How do you translate it, Davina? Freak is the new sexy?

Mattlocked · October 30, 2012 3:36 pm

But maybe you are not right, but just obsessed... Think again.

Well, girls, imagine what I just bought at the supermarket: small lemon tarts because they had a yellow smiley on the package and The Hobbit instant chai latte with a photo of Gandalf. Sadly Martin wasn't available.

Victim of commerce......

I bought these a while ago, just because of the name. Long before I was Sherlocked.

Hopefully not burnt to a crisp.

I award Mattlocked today's tact prize.

veecee · October 30, 2012 6:00 pm

Or our computers?

Mattlocked · October 30, 2012 6:10 pm

Hm? Davina and veecee, I cannot follow you.

Hmm, so far I only see Season 1 on there, but it's worth keeping an eye on. Thanks.
You're always welcome

SusiGo, your post reminds me of my reaction to the phrase 'easy-peasy', I always think about Ben

Someone said "easy-peasy" at work, and I almost jumped on her: "Where did you get that phrase?!" It turns out it was not Sherlock-related.

My fault. I meant to quote the another post about shooting notebooks, but maybe that's what the original post meant, anyway.

I can imagine your disappointment . You must have been almost dreaming about having found the same obsessed Sherlockian nearby to talk about all the Sherlock related stuff and such a disappointment...

It's quite a common English expression.

She's from Michigan.

I thought the individual may not be a Brit, so I was just explaining...honest.

... when you make a complete fool out of yourself when asked how you want your coffee.
"Black, please." - "Yes, and how many sugars?" - "Two. (... pause ...) Oh, wait! I don't take sugar! Do you have sweetener?"

Mattlocked · November 3, 2012 2:11 pm

...when you're working on a non-Sherlock-related clay-head, but you suddenly notice that it will remind you of Sherlock anyway, because you just thought while looking at it: "Mouth's too small now."

besleybean · November 3, 2012 2:15 pm

I'm sure it'll find it's own evolutionary niche!

Mattlocked · November 3, 2012 2:27 pm

Therefore I like to work without any model. I like to create "independent", own characters.

SusiGo · November 5, 2012 7:52 pm

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you're looking forward to proof-reading your translation (which you normally loathe because you know the book so well) just because the main character has Asperger's and is quite a genius in his field and has some problems in interacting with other people.
