ABOUT

My name is Brittany, but my friends call me Bri. I write poems. I take classes. At one point I founded and edited this journal called Devil’s Lake. I sleep all the time. Seriously, all the time.

The magnifying glass is in reference to my love for Sherlock Holmes, something I try to keep out of the blog and out of most conversations, as it tends to put people to sleep. In brief, if you do, in fact, care: the Memoirs are my favorite stories; the best screen depiction is Jeremy Brett’s in the Granada Series (yes, I own that box set), especially Adventures and Return; the new Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch is fun but gets Holmes completely wrong, though I do think Martin Freeman was born to be Watson; I may or may not write Holmes pastiches in my spare time; I don’t mind the Robert Downey Jr. Holmes movies no matter how unfaithful they are, because, well, Victorian machine guns.
