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 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!

You mean Elementary? I hope not, it's a really great show! I love it! The Holmes/Watson dynamic is really amazing, Jonny's Sherlock is perfectly manic and I absolutely adore Lucy's Joan. But it still might not be your cup of tea! I just really love this spin on the old tale. (Then again, I'm not comparing it to anything because I don't watch the BBC version.)

That gives me some hope. The adverts they're running here are basically:

Sherlock: Look at me! I am terribly clever and eccentric! And more so than the average British person! Though, of course, being British gives me a head start on both.

Watson: Woe! I am depressed! I killed someone, because god forbid a woman surgeon be competent or indeed a war hero as Watsons have traditionally been. I mean, even Grey's Anatomy had a war hero female surgeon, and it's a cold day in hell when they are flying the flag for equitable representations of women in TV, though I suppose they've not put any pressure on the two lesbians to be size zeroes now I think on it … sorry, what was I saying? Oh yes, WOE! And also ANGST!

Sherlock: I am going to pose manfully and tell you I am super-brilliant more often than the most recent Doctor Who.

Watson: I can't stand him. Also, you're SO brilliant.

Sherlock: Cheers. I know.

Me: AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE! [Flees, wishing I'd thought to record Go Girls so I could get my crap Kiwi TV fix without the ads.]
