adventures in watching things that are not sportsball
Shows that make me happy this week: Elementary, Running Man, Ouran.
Elementary - the new ep (s3e7) was lovely. Really liking prickly Sherlock who annoys but doesn't necessarily offend Joan, who knows better now. The mystery was a bit...pat, but character and dynamic-wise, it was fun. Kitty was great and continues growing on me. Sherlock being lazy and called out for it was great. Ms. Hudson was back!
Running Man - 223 was a really fun episode. Never has rock-paper-scissors been so epic. The foreign guests were fun with the mix of English and Korean, and getting a glimpse of their cute personalities. I'd like to see more of them, I think. Fabien is a dear and I hope he gets to come back. And everyone looked really nice in their suits today.
Ouran - rewatching Ouran and it is, as I remembered, a fucking delight. Five episodes in and I'm already edging into my need for fic, angst fic. Man, I love everyone, but Kyouya. Angst galore. I love it. But for now it is primarily still crack and lampshading ridiculous shoujo tropes, and doing so in a way that's great and fun.
Going to check out Abnormal Summit, another Korean variety show, which is full of foreigners in Korean holding a mock international summit to discuss ~issues~. I've heard lots of good things about it, although I also know Zhou Mi guested recently, shared a story about his mom getting mugged, and getting shit on Weibo from Chinese ELF for "betraying his country". Christ alive, Chinese ELF, please fall off a cliff. Collectively. I'll carry Zhou Mi in sunshine and sparkles into the loving arms of all his girlfriends and boyfriends in Taiwan.
...but I digress. I'm going to check out Abnormal Summit!
Sports is a disaster (though the /r/hockey Canes fans are adorable). These are my avoidance tactics. The closest I'll get in the next month or so to sports is considering a reread Slam Dunk. :) Greatest sports manga ever? Definitely among them, anyway.
Oh -- and attending the Dallas @ St. Louis game the Saturday after Christmas. That'll be fun. First home Blues game!
