starladyI went to Izakaya Sozai last night, for those of you in SF, and it's some of the best Japanese food I've had, period--well worth the trek out to Sunset. Also, I went to the main branch of the Oakland Public Library; Ghost in the Shell: SAC, here I come!
All of you should watch Complicit bylola, a Sherlock vid that reconsiders Soo Lin and Sherlock and their relation to each other. I don't think it's completely successful at challenging the Orientalism and fail of that episode, if only because the episode only gives a vidder so much footage to work with, but it does succeed in challenging what the show thought, or wanted us to think, and in forcing us to reconsider some home truths, and in restoring some agency to Soo Lin, and equally importantly in stripping some of it from Sherlock, who is not as independent as he likes to think.

I though better of both Moffat and Gatiss.
