Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch)

Sherlock series 3 has already come and gone on the BBC and spoilers are everywhere. If you need me before January 19th, I'll be curled up in the corner twitching, hiding from the internet, and waiting for my fix.

Anderson, face the other way, you're putting me off.

Olaf/Frozen

My family saw Frozen tonight and I was completely unprepared for the emotional toll it would take on me. I cried through the first half hour and laughed loudly (and sometimes alone) through much of the rest. 

And, of course, we all loved Olaf. Josh Gad meets Jerry Lewis meets snowman: perfection.

The Bumble

I don't have anything to say about this one. He's just cute.

Buddy the Elf

It's  December 1st and I've already watched Elf once and quoted it about 50 times because it is THE BEST and also because you smell like beef and cheese. 

Buzzfeed's list of Elf facts made this year's first viewing even better (for me, anyway. My interrupting to say that it was Maurice LaMarche doing the huge burp is certainly less "fun fact" than "shut up so I can hear the movie." But seriously, The Brain!)

Also awesome: the movie's reference to Crumpet, David Sedaris' elf name from "SantaLand Diaries." Plus Amy Sedaris! And Andy Richter! Just...everything. It's perfect.

Lineup of Doctors

I've reworked a couple of my old Doctor balloons and added a Paul McGann to the mix. Every time I look at this I want to count them off like "Eight, WAR DOCTOR, Nine, Ten, Eleven..." It sounds a lot like the kid in this awesome 70's Sesame Street clip: http://youtu.be/lYIRO97dhII

Oscar the Grouch/Dalek

Because, YES, of course. It makes perfect sense.

Doctors

My Doctor Who balloon obsession so far: 4, 9, 10, 11, with bonus John Hurt.
