They are showing the adverts for the American Sherlock thingy here …

I am going to hate it, aren't I?

In other news, the lovely [livejournal.com profile] theodoraleft left many thanks for everyone who helped out with the Thanksgiving shopping last month. She also left the thanks last month, but I have been writing stories about bamboo and compost and god knows what else and burning my thumb and learning to play Cole Porter in E flat on the ukulele, not to mention very, very crap at doing anything in a timely fashion. Thanks, though! SHE was totally timely!

For anyone worried about December 21st, the world has not ended here in the future. It won't end over there in the past, either. Though if I have to go into the shopping centre opposite my work to buy salad for lunch and brave the bonkers crowds again tomorrow, it may end for one or two very specific people. I feel absolutely certain there must be a way to commit homicide by red pepper, if one is sufficiently motivated! Probably best to pack some extra porridge …

Keep out of the madding crowds, dear flist! If you haven't bought your gifts yet, tell everyone they were delayed in the post and buy them in the sales!

I watched the pilot of Elementary and found it deadly dull. Maybe it improved after the pilot (that's common enough), but the characters didn't grab me sufficiently to make me want to see it again. YMMV, of course.

Glad to hear that Dec. 21st hasn't heralded the end of the world where you are. Mind you, as the OH points out, it's not Dec. 21st in the Yucatan yet. Meh, whatever. *remembers the Harmonic Convergence of 1987" *snorts*

I'm told that the first two eps are a bit dire and then it hits its stride. Maybe one to try out on DVD?

We're well into the 22nd here, still alive! And don't even mention that: the number of hippies I had to listen to that year! ARGH!!!!!
