HEE. I'd forgotten how completely awesome this scene is. A completely non-spoilery clip from Homicide: Life on the Street; watch it, and your life will be expanded in new and beautiful ways.

You know what's awesome? This actually worked in real life. I love it. :D

(Also, I kinda want their phones' ring for my cell phone ring tone. Then I can make the Star Trek communicator my text message notification, and I will be set for life.)

Also related to my recent library book selections (and to detectives investigating things, for that matter), I have written almost 2000 words of fic for A Study In Emerald. Unfortunately, Watson hasn't even been clued in yet, and there's still that whole "plot" thing to figure out, plus I have no idea when to stop writing, which is awesome because Conan Doyle-canon Holmes and Watson's relationship only spans, oh, several decades, fifty-six short stories, and four novels, not counting all Watson's maddening references to other stories and cases. *sigh*

But I have learned a good deal already about the Second Anglo-Afghan War, the geography of London, the construction of Victorian theaters, Victorian-era laws regarding sexual misconduct, techniques for writing a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, and several new points of interest in the battle between American and British English. For what it's worth.

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH AND WHY WAS IT SO AWESOME. D:

It's from the first season of a 1993-1999 police procedural called Homicide: Life on the Street, based on the nonfiction book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon, who observed and wrote about the Baltimore PD homicide unit. (Simon went on to create The Wire, widely hailed as the Best Show Ever by lots of people, and adapted Evan Wright's Generation Kill in a really really awesome miniseries that you may have heard me rave about recently.)

Anyway, this clip is based off something that he actually saw happen, which is probably why it's so completely awesome. :D
