A list of things I was going to post earlier because basic reactions were all I had, but you can have them now just because:

I am annoyed with Infamous, because it has so many problems and is kind of shit, but I also really enjoy playing it, and like the story-telling, if not the story, and now I have a pairing. A pairing with no fandom. Home at last.

There is no kink meme for Infamous, but there is for the game it's apparently constantly having fights with.

However, I've decided Infamous is probably the most difficult fandom there is to Google, especially when it comes to kink memes, because almost everyone non-fannish who talks about a fandom's kink meme seems to describe it as 'infamous'.

I really think I would be less annoyed about Infamous if more people talked about the problems with it, in a way that didn't make me think it was just me, and in a way that there was a good chance of the creators seeing it, so there was just a chance they would try not to make the same mistakes next time. There isn't even an 'Unfortunate Implications' link on the TV Tropes page, and they tend to be pretty good about things like that.

I commissioned a piece of work from an artist on Etsy. But apparently she just got a deal with a children's publisher, and has been working to deadline, and - even though she's apparently done it - she keeps forgetting to talk to me about it. This wouldn't be so bad, except one of my emails got lost on it's way to her before, or 'buried in her inbox', so whenever there's a long gap in emails, I'm never sure if she's just busy, or actually hasn't seen it.

I still haven't seen the film I was planning to see for ages, Lockdown, with Guy Pearce and Peter Stormare in it.

The Avengers film is out (I think), and I still haven't seen Captain America. I did not realise it was coming out as soon as April. However, given how popular it already is, chances are it will be in cinemas for a while. However, given how long it sometimes takes me to watch one film, never mind two, that might not necessarily help.

On the plus side, I've been largely ignoring the long, long pre-release buzz, so maybe I can mostly ignore the post-release buzz until I've seen it as well.

There also doesn't appear to be a Prison Break kink meme. That seems impossible to me. I was going to say that, well, it started in 2005, so maybe it just didn't quite catch that boat. But then just the other day I found out there was a Kiss Kiss Bang Bang kink meme. So I don't know. Unless I'm just not googling properly.

Guess which Playstation game I'm playing at the moment? If you guessed "Saints Row 2 again, because you love it", you are correct. If you also guessed "Shadows Of The Damned, because you saw it on Two Best Friends Play and it looked wicked", you are also correct. But that's a bit creepy. Shadows Of The Damned has a non-white main character. In terms of race, it's already streets ahead of Infamous. There is some slightly odd stuff about his white (white, white!) girlfriend who he almost constantly refers to as 'Angel' though. Hmm.

There are about five million dance shows on pretty much this month and next, mostly in London or other parts of the country where I don't live, which I'd really like to go see, but it's really just not feasible at all. Really. Which kind of sucks.
