You know when you get a fest assignment, and go through the prompts and cast your mind (and Google) about for ideas, and then suddenly you KNOW exactly what you're going to do? And if you can pull it off, it's going to be the best thing you ever did?

And then you think about the research you're going to have to do to make it good, and you start laughing loudly enough to wake the neighbors?

Yeah. Just happened.

*plants face in hands to stifle giggles*

I finally figured out why I've been smiling so much lately. Every time I turn on my computer at home or minimize all the windows, I gurgle with laughter when I see this funny face:

( I'M ON UR DESKTOP, LOOKIN OUT. )

So what's on your desktops?

I laughed out loud when I read this one yesterday and laughed again when I reread it tonight. Go read it and laugh:

Spot the Loony by gardnerhill
Rating: PG (language)
Characters: BBC Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Sally Donovan
Summary: The title is from a Monty Python sketch.
Warnings: Cop mouth. Some abuse of an invasive non-native species.
Word Count: 300

I love that the author took a throwaway line from The Great Game and turned it into this. Poor Sally!

And I'm happy dancing tonight because an LJ user asked if Danny Boyle's Frankenstein would be released on DVD. Last I'd heard, the answer was no, but that's changed to a probably. It may take some time, but I will be all over it if this happens.

I've been giggling over this one for the last several minutes, so I'm sharing it with you guys:

Title: The Christmas Box
Author: carenejeans
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Rating: G
Warnings: Fruitcake
Word count: 1,670
Summary: "It is a singular thing, but I find that a concentrated atmosphere helps a concentration of thought. I have not pushed it to the length of getting into a box to think, but that is the logical outcome of my convictions." -- Sherlock Holmes, in "The Hound of the Baskervilles"

I love that the thought even occurs to John in the first place. I love that he goes through with the idea. And I love that Sherlock has it figured out by the time he gets home and acts accordingly:

I love the stories that I find at the Sherlock comms I follow, but what do I love just a teeny bit more than that? The art. I'm becoming slightly obsessed with angrybeige's comics among others, but that's an art rec for another day when I'm bored and watching the clock. The comics make no sense at all, except they totally do, and they're funny in the most insane way possible.

Go Away, He's Angsting.

What about Anchovies?

Edit: BTW, I didn't write this. Dad forwarded it to me in an e-mail, and it was too good not to share.

Thanks for all the laughs, Alex. And thanks to lady_rhian for sharing the link this morning so I knew it was up.
