ALSO INTO CATS

[indecision]

so i went to see sherlock holmes yesterday. and by "went to see" i mean a DVD screener finally showed up and i downloaded. okay so! the new, updated version of sherlock holmes is essentially sherlock as house/shawn spencer/jane and watson as wilson+thecottages/burton guster/the entire CBI team? is that what they did? because it seems to me that that's essentially what they did. um, i've not read the books before, is sherlock holmes like that? damaged genius that everyone indulges because they're so genius? well okay then. otherwise it was fun! not nearly as gay as everyone said it was. but then again, it rarely is.

co-journaller and i are working on new icons. i love how you can tell when we stopped actually making any effort whatsoever and just cribbed all our icons from people far more talented than either one of us instead of attempting our own. possibly because no-one ever made interpol icons except for us and the people we begged to? but anyway we're deleting NOT A SINGLE INTERPOL ICON okay? they all stay! even though they, like all of our icons, mostly serve no purpose. i love how we have over a hundred icons and the majority of them don't convey a mood, or a feeling, or anything at all, except that it's someone or someones being pretty.

the nursing school one is choice though. oh, peter.

urgh omg i have such a killer headache, since yesterday, that didn't go away even after i went to bed. what do you say, livejournal? should i go to bed again in the hopes it will disappear? or just swallow some tylenol and wait for the new episode of being human to be downloaded? my download screen says four minutes and some change!

ow, ow. sleep it is then. AND tylenol.

don't suppose it's the whole "hyper observant dude" trope that bothers me, it's the "he's also a self-involved asshole who constantly endangers/makes miserable the lives of those around him."

No, I got that! and do rather agree with you on the trope's being pretty tiring/tired by now, yes indeed. Only I thought more along the lines of the original Holmes (possibly - again, it's been a looong time since I read any of the books & I've never been much of a buff) having also been of the "eccentric genius with (problematic) habits and traits others will put up with" type - though certainly (or, again, possibly, probably, maybe) not to the extent, maybe, that the trope is being paraded around all over (and possibly in the movie) these days (it's a cycle that feeds itself?). Har, I don't even know if that makes any sense, also possibly I should, IDK, READ THE BOOKS again before making up stuff about them. :D

oh! doh, i feel that that should tell you all i know about sherlock holmes, which is essentially nothing at all save for possibly a couple of tv movies or shows that i recall only vaguely, except that perhaps watson was far more tolerant of holmes than he is now. perhaps i'm just irritated by the trope and it is not as glaring in the movie as i thought it was um, i should rewatch yes? BUT I FEEL ONCE WAS ENOUGH OMG.

...or i should take a stab at the books y/y?
