Have you ever had a dream like this?

One of my all-time favorite Internet videos. It’s what dreams are made of.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sesame Street

I just found this on YouTube. It’s cute and funny, but something about it feels a bit off. Maybe it’s because Sesame Street is targeted to young children while Sherlock is aimed toward adults? (Then again, Sesame Street also did a Hunger Games: Catching Fire parody, so maybe this isn’t that surprising.)

At any rate, I enjoyed it. Cumberbatch felt like the epitome of the British gentleman here, considering how patient he was with “Murray-arty.”

Toonami Equality Speech

I used to watch Toonami all the time as a kid (pretty certain that’s how I got into anime, actually), so I think this video is pretty awesome. Definitely worth watching.

It gets extra awesome points for featuring clips from One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, two of my favorite animes of all time.

“Crashed”

Here is yet another song I enjoy listening to every now and then. I have a lot of good memories associated with it, which I suppose is part of the reason I like it.

“Chocolate Rain”

Here’s a song I enjoy, although recently I haven’t listened to it very often, unfortunately. I should change that.

Owl City – Fireflies – Mario Paint Composer

I really like this version of Owl City’s Fireflies. Mario Paint remixes of songs are usually awesome, but this one is particularly good in my opinion.

“Haven’t Met You Yet” by Michael Bublé

I like to listen to this song whenever I’m feeling down. It’s usually makes me feel better.

Sherlock: Series 3 Launch Trailer

Another new trailer for the next series of Sherlock. Much more substantial than the last one, complete with the series premiere’s date (New Year’s Day). Yay!

My only concern is that I doubt I’ll be able to see the series premiere unless someone puts it online or its put on Netflix. So I will probably have to avoid spoilers online when it premieres, at least until I can see it myself.

Who else is excited for Series 3?

Sherlock Series 3 TV Trailer

I am a Sherlock fan, so as you probably guess, this trailer excites me. Yes, it’s short and not particularly substantial, but it’s cool nonetheless.

Anyone else excited for Sherlock Series 3?
