Party and food meme

Gah, it's one of those days where I just feel like I'm dropping, breaking, trampling and otherwise ruining everything in the house in a mad rush to get everything done on time. Last week I swallowed the end of a needle - that's okay, right? It was only a tiny short bit.

daegaer, [Unknown site tag]new_kate and tarteaucitron came over at the weekend for my birthday party. We lounged around, drank wine, made cakes and watched ice skating and 'The Saint'.  They make the most wonderful houseguests, let me add. Come back! Never leave!  

I sent out invites labelling my party a 'cake and fizz' one. Good move, because guess what everyone bought me? Yeah! It was a totally rockin' night. I remember some really bad singing towards the end of the night, so I'm very sorry to anyone who had to listen.

Here's that food meme, via telophase

Holmesian jewellery

Oh, so we saw Sherlock Holmes on Sunday night and I was made properly happy by it. Holmes is exactly mad enough - just the sort of person who you can imagine beating corpses with sticks to determine bruising patterns. Watson is dashing and surly and handsome, Irene Adler dresses up as a boy, randomly. Plus it had Mark Strong. Plus it was not ruined by Guy Ritchie's direction.

So today I made a Sherlock Holmes saucy bohemian ring! The quote is from The Adventure of the Dying Detective where Holmes anoints himself with vaseline and rouge in an attempt to seduce Watson make it appear as if he's dying in order to entrap a villain.
