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 have such mixed feelings about elementary. i've been watching it online.

on the one hand i really think lucy liu is gorgeous and amazing, and i have no problems with watson's backstory because watson is supposed to be a little messed up in the confidence department.

i'm eye rolly with how sherlock is just a little too good to be true. he's too likable. it feels (to me) very ~american in that way. he redeems himself too easily every time. :/

my main problem is with the watson dynamic (that might just be my 'stuff' rising to the surface). but i find the whole premise that she's there without his consent and he's just expected to open up to her, and our sympathy is definitely intended to be with her when she's talking about how she's opened up to him and yet he's not playing the game. and just. why should he, seriously? imposed caregiving. just. ugh.

but i still watch it whenever a new episode comes up. :P

That makes no sense! Watson is supposed to be someone Holmes seeks out! I AM CONFUSED! But I'll probably give it a go anyway ;-)
