I ♥ Sherlock

And I’m not talking about BBC Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch. Even though I’ve become a fan of that show as well. I mean Sherlock Holmes in general. I’ve always been a fan of mysteries. The likes of e.g. Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. I’m a lazy book reader so I prefer those on TV. I’m not only watching them by just looking, I watch them to try to figure out the cases myself. That’s good practise for the brain. Since I’ve studied script writing, I see them a bit differently. A person who hasn’t studied drama might not see them the same way.

‘Clothes make the man’ the phrase says and it’s true in this case. Everyone has a different view about how Sherlock Holmes looks like. As I mentioned before in a past post , Jeremy Brett has always been “the Sherlock” for me. The smart, sophisticated and mysterious man he is. He just played it so well. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have approved.

I grew up watching crime mysteries. It has always fascinated me. The likes of Murder, She Wrote, Matlock and Columbo. I watched them with my parents. Those TV shows had a lot of excitement and you never knew for sure who the murderers were. They were very well done. No special effect like they have these days. It was all real. I was also a big fan of MacGyver and Knight Rider. They had more car chases and stuff like that. It was another look on mystery.
More recent mystery or crime on TV is Midsomner Murders (which is still on) I used to watch that with my mother (RIP) and I still do. It’s always in 2 parts and it always ends in a cliffhanger. You have to wait for the 2nd part for a week. That’s probably why it’s popular. People always want to come back for more.

So it’s really Sherlock Holmes that started it all. So thank you Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not to forget Dame Agatha Christie. Mystery fans are very grateful.

My guilty pleasure: Fan fiction

Or I don’t even know if I can call it that. Fan fiction are usually written and read by horny teenagers. The stories are based on TV series or movies and it’s characters. But I’m not really into that. I don’t really understand this infatuation to Slash fan fiction either. It’s a bit disturbing reading about heterosexuals turning homosexuals. Unless they really are but that’s a different matter.

I don’t really read fan fiction. Unless it’s about Formula One drivers. I’ve written a few of those. I even had a blog about it here on WordPress last year. But those fan fictions are in the past. I haven’t written any fiction lately. I prefer those RPF (Real Person Fiction) Writing them that is. I don’t think I never read one. I only write them for me. Only in English. It’s good practise and also a way to get thoughts out of my head. I get inspirations of the people (men in this case) I write about. And boy what an inspiration they give me. I don’t even know if I can call my fictions real person fiction. The only thing that is real, are the names. And maybe a little of their personality. But other things are just in my imagination. And why would they mind, it’s not like they will know. Even if I decided to post them on the internet. Which could happen. Or it would not.

Another day I can’t understand why it’s celebrated

International Women’s Day. What a lot of nonsense to me. Of course women in some countries have it difficult and people should remember those less fortunate. BUT.

Why not remember women everyday? Why have a special day for it? Spread awareness every single day. You might just as well have an International Day for idiots. Or Stupid people’s day. Or Helpless people’s day. Remember people who can’t do anything practical, like turning the lights off or close a gate after them. My point is, why have so many different days? Some are important like World Aids days but there are unnesserry days as well cough Valentine’s Day cough

Of course there are a lot of all kinds of different days but why is this day anything special? I for one don’t care much. It’s just a normal day among other days. And besides being a woman is not that great. But I wouldn’t want to be a man either. Why not celebrate Men day for a change? Or not celebrate any of those at all. Just call it All Gender, Ages and Races Day and get it over with.
