Lemonyellowyoshi - Down Where The Yoshi Roam

Remember that one time, on my old text blog, where I said that Elementary was stupid, as was Lucy Liu playing Watson, and all these women got mad at me, and called be sexist?

I do…

It was the most hurtful, confusing, misguided hateful rampage I’ve ever experienced. Haha.

For the record, I’m definitely NOT sexist. I believe in equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal pay. I think both men and women are essential to any team, for both often provide two equally important different sides of thinking. I think women can be lovely, beautiful people, and, I feel they should be treated with respect and love. I think EVERYONE should be treated with respect and love.

That all being said, I was mad at CBS for jumping on the Sherlock Holmes train. I feel like BBC’s “Sherlock” helped renew and re-envision Sherlock Holmes for the modern times. It was the perfect balance of respectful homage and modern creative artistry. As a lover of literature, I take modern visual representations of books very seriously.

In my eyes, CBS saw something successful, they took it, and they tried to replace the gay jokes with heterosexual jokes and tension. That upset me. It has nothing to do with how I view women, nor how I view Lucy Liu.

I see now it’s unfair to bash Elementary too much, for, people have different tastes and likes. If I wasn’t so mad at CBS, maybe I’d be open to a woman Watson. But, in the beginning, the whole thing felt cheap and too soon, do you know what I mean? I thought, “Oh, geez, here comes all the hetero tension…”

The gay jokes/bromance was an interesting take on Sherlock’s and Watson’s friendship, and, instead of truly reinventing that relationship, it seemed like CBS cheaply traded it for something else.

I guess I was just being defensive and territorial. Sorry, Elementary fans! I hear the show is great, and, I’m so happy that you enjoy it! I hope you now understand where I’m coming from, and, hope you see now that I’m not actually sexist or a Lucy Liu hater.

Tremble in fear...

I swear, I'm traveling with The Three Stooges. This is how I currently feel...

So, I got to see the Red Sox vs. Yankees game on Tuesday (4/22/14) night. For starters, Fenway Park is an amazing ballpark. Not only is it now my favourite ballpark, but, I think it may be the most American ballpark. You enter, and you instantly love the charming old-timey, classic motif, coupled with wood and brickwork. The whole park is very classic and charming, and feels just so accessible and open. And, the people who fill it, the lovely people of Boston, are just as charming. The people of Boston are a sassy, fun, sweet, proud group of people, who love their city. And, their booing of the Yankees made me laugh, I must admit. I'm going to proudly represent the Red Sox, and Boston, with my comfy new sweatshirt whenever I can! =3
