"You see," [Holmes] explained, "I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilled workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something which you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."

And that is why I was in stupid people math. The end.
Okay, not the end. So far this blog has been a mix of things, followed by KATIE MCGRATH EVERYWHERE. Look hard enough and you'll find some of my costume creatures (mainly Morgana, I KNOW), some photography, etc. If you actually find any of it between ALL THE KATIE MCGRATH, then I really give you props.
