1.  Someone remind me why Sherlock had evidence taped up all over the bathroom in ep 9 of Elementary.  I was looking at caps of the episode the other days and for the life of me, I cannot remember why he did that.

2.  I have discovered the existence of a romance novel called The Roman's Virgin Mistress.  The description actually describes the 1st century Roman as a playboy.  I am not making this up.  I am considering attempting to read it, but i don't know if my ability to force myself to deliberately read what appears to be awful fiction (and for all I know, it's a great book with terrible presentation by the publisher) just to point at the awfulness.

3.  Apparently both Caleb and Jason's actors are leaving Pretty Little Liars for other shows.  NOES THEY ARE THE ONLY MAJOR MALE CHARACTERS ON THE SHOW WHO I ACTUALLY LIKE.  (Though I'm only about 1/3 through season 3, it could change.)  Take Toby and Lucas and Garrett instead.

4.    I'm almost definitely using airmiles to stay until Wednesday at Wiscon, and so still in the market for roommates for the extra day if anyone else is staying longer.  (Also, any locals want to recommend things for me to do downtown Tuesday afternoon and Monday morning?)

5.  I've started watching Community and am almost through with the first season and enjoy it (though I like pretty much everyone but Pierce more than I like Jeff.  I kind of wish there were no Pierce.) even though it gives me secondhand embarrassment at times, and the "we know this is faily but you know that we know and don't think you should approve so it's ok" doesn't  work for me a lot of the time.

4. I do still need a roommate for Monday night! Mondays are actually a little hard to find things to do since it's a holiday, but I like the botanic garden, which is a ways away but fairly busable. (I'm trying to get someone to give me airmiles, because plane tickets are SO expensive this year.) I think the art museum may be open too; certainly it is on Tuesday, and it's small but good.

5. Even Chevy Chase wishes there were no Pierce! He is so awful. Jeff sucks too, and apparently people find him charming but dislike Britta? I have avoided fandom for the show because if it's that wrong-headed I have no interest. (Well, also I have minimal fandom involvement in general apart from Wiscon.) But Troy and Abed are LOVE, and some of the individual episodes are the most brilliant TV I've ever seen.
