It's a coat that would keep me warm during this cold season... but it's sort of a casual/dressy (semi-formal?) style that I could wear it for any special dress up occasions I end up having - i.e. interviews, semi-formal/formal events.

We did find some coats at the mall that sort of matched the same styling as Sherlock's coat - which helped my Mom figure out a vague idea of what I'm after. And it also gives me hope that my desired coat does exist out there that is a more reasonable price than the actual coat that Sherlock wears ((about $2000 in U.S. dollars, once converted)).

Alright. I'm heading off now to watch TV with my parents. Later.  ((Where's Wonka-vision when you need it? Seriously!))

Good evening everyone.
I went to church with my parents this morning. Since we had gotten my Grandma a new betta fish, and Mom didn't want to leave it out in the car while we were at church, we ended up bringing the fish (in it's container we got it in from the pet store) into church with us. xd The fish - as this time I'm going to call it "Ruby" until my Grandma officially gives it a name ((her last Betta fish was named "Garnet")) - seems to be happy about its new surroundings. It kept blowing bubbles - which is a sign that betta fish apparently do when they're happy with their conditions. 3nodding

I've just started reading "The Valley of the Four" from the Sherlock Holmes collection, and it discusses a painting that Jean-Baptiste Greuze did. Apparently Professor Moriarty has the painting hanging in his office behind his desk. Sherlock Holmes displays his knowledge of art as he gives the historical background to the painting. "I don't miss much, Mr. Holmes. Maybe I learned that from you. Yes, I saw the picture - a young woman with her head on her hands, peeping at you sideways."
"The painting was by Jean Baptiste Geuze."
The inspector endeavoured to look interested.
"Jean Baptiste Greuze," Holmes continued, joining his finger tips and leaning well back in his chair, "was a French artist who flourished between the years 1750 and 1800.
[...]
"All knowledge comes useful to the detective," remarked Holmes. "Even the trival fact that in the year 1865 a picture by Greuze entitled 'La Jeune Fille a l'Agneau' fetched one million two hundred thousand francs - more than forty thousand pounds - at the Portalis sale may start a train of reflection in your mind."Anyway... this picture intrigued me, so I decided to see if it was a real picture... and it indeed is a real painting. And here it is:

Good morning everyone.
Sorry about leaving without saying good-bye. I meant to, but then I got busy showing the painting above to my parents, since I told them about reading about it in the story. And basically my parents were waiting to watch TV as it was... so yeah.

*listens to Sara Bareille's "King of Anything"**sighs* I wish I had a video editing program. I so want to make a BBC Sherlock fan video using this song.

It's hard to believe that Christmas is only 5 days away. Or that I'll be opening presents up in 4 days. Eeeee! I can't wait to see what my parents reactions are to the gifts I got them.
