cimorenenew kick-ass icon. hm. wait. i know i had something else to say. okay, when i think of it, i can post this.
i need a method of food-preparation that takes less time than making those packets of noodles. i can't keep having toast. for one thing, the bread has refridgerator burn; for another, it's, uh, boring. and not very nutritious. my hair is so annoying. maybe i will cut it.
would anyone call sherlock holmes an archetype? i can't think of examples of his kind of character from literature before him--you know, sort of robotic, with the theme that superhuman intelligence (computer-like, although when he was written they didn't have computers) gets in the way of 'being human'--properly emotional and whatnot--star trek dealt with this theme in tiresomely repetitive detail, and has done for long enough to spread it out into popular culture--so that you see this kind of robot-guy character in cartoons, in star wars, perhaps, to a certain extent, and then you see it done with obsessive/compulsive scientists elsewhere, in movies. but can anyone think of examples that precede conan doyle (the late 19th century)?
