Every day I think I'm going to make a Livejournal post, and then I check Tumblr and two hours later it's midnight. Dang.

• I loled so hard at Coronation Street when everyone was in the salon discussing Rob cheating on Tracy, in front of Maria, who Charlie was cheating on Tracy with before she murdered him. No-one brought that up.



• I feel like they're trying to make Tracy more likeable lately. I still hate her obviously. But I'm about an inch closer to 'I feel nothing for her' than I used to be.



• New George Gently was on! Actually on, after months of the BBC rescheduling it. I enjoyed it, but I think the episode would have been 100% better if John had had a panic attack and George had had to hug him on a pavement. I remember when George Gently was a great title because George was quite gentle, and not constantly flying off the handle at people with semi-groundless accusations (like John). I'm forced to assume his behaviour on Thursday was mainly because they were investigating corrupt police officers again, and he was thinking "If they shoot John again, I s2g...". Still. Traumatised, sullen Bacchus is the best Bacchus.



• I'm playing Bioshock Infinite, finally, after Tumblr posts suggests it had something to do with the previous games' canon, instead of standing on its own like the story seemed to. I'M REALLY ENJOYING IT. Still agonising over every decision though. No spoilers please.



• I've also been doing some research for a potential fic, and it's turned up some weird facts about Britain. I assumed that since England was so famous for apples and strawberries we were PRETTY GOOD AT GROWING THEM. But apparently the only native apple tree we have is the crab apple tree, and the only strawberries native to us are alpine strawberries. Neither of which have fruit you'd want to eat. Everything else was transplanted (ha ha) over from Europe or wherever. Meanwhile I thought cherries were entirely an Asian thing, but apparently we do have a native cherry tree, fruit and all. And different sites seem to say different things, but apparently we have native pears too. Maybe. It's all quite strange, but fun.



• Also it has given me a number of question about the Dragon Age universe, such as: ( Dragon Age )



• Leyla was always the best sister on Emmerdale and I love her, and I hate Alicia, she's fine but I hate her, I can't believe she's acting like Leyla just 'makes things up' and 'wants to stir up drama', when SHE GAVE YOU HER BABY, SHE GAVE YOU HER BABY YOU FORCED HER TO HAVE AND BOND WITH, OH MY GOD ALICIA. It's like she doesn't believe Leyla can have feelings. ( Cut for eating disorders )

Can I ask, does my lj-cut 'text' look weird at all? A while ago when LJ started messing them up I did something to move the text to the left, and now they seem to have fixed it, and on my view the words overlap with the bracket now. I can't remember what I did to the html or how to change it back again, and I just wondered if anyone else could see it?
