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:

  • Vera is amazing. The show and the lady.


  • 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 did find the last pigeon in Infamous though. Hurray!


  • 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.


  • I hate my dad slightly less now. He's still a cunt though.


  • 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.


  • I don't feel like throwing up anymore. This day is looking up.

  1. I am bisexual and Sarah is great.


  2. Playstation: ACHIEVED.

My dad finished putting up the shelf in my nephews' room last night, and then we put in and set up the Playstation. It was a bit funny at first, because instead of putting a shelf under the shelf where the TV had been, he put the new shelf over it, put the telly on that, and then put the Playstation on the shelf underneath. Except that the Playstation didn't quite fit, it wasn't falling off but it didn't really fit. And the TV, which was a flatscreen, needed to be tilted down so you could see the image properly, and you had to crane your neck up to look at it. Which I wasn't thrilled about. But happily, after asking dad to tilt it down so I could see it, and him standing and looking at it and watching me try out the Playstation for a bit, he decided he wasn't happy with it like that, and took out the top shelf, moved the TV back down, and moved a chest of drawers over to put the Playstation on. I understand why he had the Playstation on the shelf first, because it was high enough that it kept it out of the way of the kids. But it really wasn't doable, and would probably have really hurt my/anyone playing on it's eyes and neck after a while. So it's like that for now. We'll just have to see what happens when the kids get anywhere near it.

But anyway, I totally had a go on it. I have slightly more idea of what Little Big Planet 2 is about now, although not really. And I started playing the game I ordered, which I was really interested in. It's called Heavy Rain, and it's about the hunt for a serial killer who kidnaps children. I heard about it on TV Tropes, and I massively spoilered myself for it, because...that's how I roll. So I sort of know how's it going to turn out. But I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a little nerve-wracking, because a lot of it's a story, but then all of a sudden you'll get bits where you have to be moving and maybe doing something important you only have a limited amount of time to do. But it's good. There are detectives with beautiful accents and a female character who I hope is going to get more to do than she has so far, which was running around her apartment in a vest and her underwear. The only thing is that there's a character who has sad things happen to him, and after those sad things happen, he grows a bit of a beard. And I learned on the TV Tropes page that his fan nickname is Sorrowbeard. And now when I look at him that's almost all I can think of. But anyway. It is good so far.
