We watched Cocaine Blues, the pilot episode for the Phryne Fisher murder mysteries. It was heaps fun! SO. MANY. WOMEN. So infinitely femslashable. Hot lady doctor in trousers! Surprise Miranda Otto! Miriam Margolyes! (Not in trousers, but still amazing!) And was that Rippon Lea that I saw? There's, like, two posh houses we see on Melbourne TV, one is Rippon Lea, and one is Werribee Mansion. Which is a shame, because there's lots of really pretty houses out there - Como House is gorgeous - but maybe it's easier to use those two? Anyway, it's going to be so much fun spotting Melbourne settings.
It's also super pretty.

Speaking of female private eyes, it's all over the interwebs Lucy Liu has been cast as Watson in the US version of BBC's Sherlock. I think it could be good or bad depending on the writing, but it's the writing I have no particular hopes for. One good thing about all the debate is that I am thinking a lot about how wonderful it would have been if they'd cast Lucy Liu as Holmes. THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE. I WOULD WATCH THAT FOREVER AND EVER AMEN.
Um.lilacsigil has a scan next week. Nothing is wrong, it's routine follow up to 2011's medical adventures but we're super stressed about it, in that flash-back panicky way. Just wanted to say that it's happening, and we're okay.
