American Sherlock

Friend: Did you hear that they're remaking sherlock for the US?
Me: NONONONONONNO
Friend: And theyre basically goin to shit all over it.
Me: No. Just no. Not ever.
Friend: The lead...the dude from hackers.
Me: No. No.
Friend: this is almost as bad as when they tried to remake spaced
Me: Yeah. This is such a bad idea. I will be boycotting the show.
Friend: Me too.
Brother: You don't have to do that. No ones going to watch it anyway.

Not about books

I’m sorry to post something not on books, but I had this conversation with my therapist recently and it struck me as being odd and interesting. She asked me how I was feeling about my job and where I was (as is a therapists job) and I responded that I was bored. Not of my job, but of being here. Where I currently am, which is my parents house. Naturally, she asked what I meant. I said...
