1. Apparently the first episode of "Sherlock! S3" has premiered in the UK. I know this because flist has posted reviews. But thankfully behind cut-tags. So am not spoiled. Well except for:

poster1: I liked it.
poster2: And I liked it...
poster3: In brief? I seriously did not like it.

One of the things I love most about livejournal is contradictory reviews spaced on top of each other. I find rather reassuring and quite comforting. Although - was sorely tempted to spoil myself on the "seriously did not like it" post.

Suffice it to say - Sherlock has not premiered in the US. Probably waiting until Downtown finishes airing? Or they have an arrangement with the BBC that they can't air it until it completes its run in the UK first?

It's in three points of view, separate from each other, actually at this point they don't even know each other as far as I'm aware, and sort of stream of consciousness. Quite witty in places. And has been advertised as a touching, realistic and at times satiric take on Australian suburban life.

4. Discussed diet with nutritionist, who thinks I'm unbelievable or amazing and wants me to either write my entire story down (sort of did on lj at New Year's) and tell it a lecture she's giving. I've already inspired a co-worker, who asked me for the name of my holistic healer for her daughter, who is going through something similar to what I went through and is desperate.
