A few things first regarding your post.
1. The relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler (in the books) has never been romantic nor sexual. In the story "Scandal in Bohemia", a member of a European royalty comes to Holmes and asks him to locate a woman, Irene Adler. He is getting married and she is in possession of photographs of their previous affair, which would be quite scandalous if revealed, and he hires him to retrieve said photos before a world war happens. (It's set during the time tension was high in Europe and the marriage was a very politically important and stuff.) Holmes tails Irene, locates the photos but doesn't obtain them. He tails her some more and inadvertently becomes the third witness in her wedding. She is the only person to ever outsmart Sherlock Holmes and he regards her in a weird despising respect.
Moriarty on the other hand is not nearly as well fleshed out character. He was created by Doyle as a sort of Deus ex Machina type of villain for the sole purpose of killing Holmes. ('Cause that went very well.) But "The Final Problem" is more popular than "Scandal in Bohemia" so people know Moriarty better. Also Irene is a woman, so of course she is made a love interest for (the probably asexual) Sherlock Holmes, and can never be as threatening as a villain as Moriarty... BUT ANYWAY.
If you don't wanna read the book(s), I think the adaptation most like the original stories are the one's by Granada (with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes). I have a lot of them on DVD if you wanna borrow them some time.
2. Dude, a tyrannitar? Good luck with that. Also, Christmas-y. Is how I'd spell it.
So the parliament voted. And they voted well. They passed the motion! You probably knew that but I don't care! IT'S BRILLIANT! Same sex marriage is now legal in Finland! I think. I mean, I'm not a 100% sure what this means in practice, but it is good. Ahh, today is a good day.
Timo Soini said "Biologinen juurettumuus määriteltiin lapsen normaalitilaksi" and I have no fucking idea what that means but he can go SUCK IT.
That is all. Good night.
Pie out.
P.S. You'll hear from me on Monday, but I need a topic.
Ok, I have to correct you there.
ReplyDeleteSame sex marriage is not legal in Finland now. The motion has not been passed yet. The parliament just voted that they should keep working on it. It will next go somewhere, where a smaller group of people will keep working on it, and they can decide that they shouldn't proceed with this any more. Though I've understood that practically there's no threat for then to make and end to it.
And then in maybe a couple of weeks the motion will come back to the parliament, and they'll have the final vote of whether to change the law or not.
Admittedly the chances that they'll vote much differently the second time round are pretty small. But it only takes a few people to change their minds from a yes to a no to tip the scale.
So yeah, even though it's pretty sure they'll pass the law, it's not over yet.
Also, the law will come into practise in 2017, if (when) it passes, so it's going to be a while before gay couples can actually get married.
Anyway, I wanted to tell you this, because I find it a little annoying people all around me are going "yay, we won!". Because, yeah, even though we probably will win, it's not quite over yet.
And I already gave you a topic. So I'll hear from you on tomorrow.

"ON tomorrow"? I'm not sure that means anything. I noticed it just when I hit "Publish", and this stupid thing won't let me edit the comment.
