One Step! One Step!
I watched Die Hard 4 with my housemates over Christmas.
Riona: I'm glad McClane is finally bleeding.
Farrell: I'm not a doctor, but you look hurt.
McClane: Yeah. Sexy, right?
(everyone in the room laughs at me)
How dare you, John McClane?
Die Hard 4 was fun enough for an evening's entertainment, but it felt glaringly sexist in a way the ( Read more... ) -
I'm Just Fighting Fire With-
A couple of days ago, I thought I'd pick up the Undead Nightmare add-on for Red Dead Redemption again, as I'd never finished it. As I rode through the New Austin desert at night, I suddenly saw an alert informing me that a mythical creature had appeared in the area. Said mythical creature was War, one of the horses of the apocalypse, and it wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Seven Always Ends Up Eating Nine In These Things.
It's been months since the first instalment of the character-number questions, but I have not forgotten about them! I'm just really slow.
Here is the second instalment! Fandoms represented are, as before, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XIII, Peep Show, Phineas and Ferb, ( Read more... ) -

Derren Brown, my respect for you has just increased tenfold.

Perhaps He Had Roy Orbison In There.
In SoulSilver, if you've given him your Pokégear number, Juggler Irwin calls after your liberation of the Radio Tower to say 'I just wanted to let you know that you're awesome!'

Punch That Missile Right In The Face.
Today, I wandered onto Twitter to search for reactions to the revelation that David Cameron and Nick Clegg had poisoned the leader of another country, and then I remembered that that was actually just a dream I had. Whoops.
A listing from today's edition of the Radio Times that I rather enjoyed:

If You Want To Be A Star, Be A Ba. Star. D.
Thank you very much for the virtual lemur, kind anonymous person!
I've never really watched Big Brother, but I thought I'd check out the 'first twenty-four hours in the house' episode last night, as this is apparently to be the final series, and I was bored, and, all right, I have no self-respect. (I'm not a football fan, and apparently at this ( Read more... ) -
'Poetry Hour With Riona's Family' Would Be Fairly Unsuccessful.
Ahahaha, oh, dear, I fear my parents may be becoming concerned by my uneventful love life. An exchange I recently had with my father via the incomprehensible medium of Google Wave:
Riona's Father: Loved the VD Post!
MY DEAREST HARRIET
YOU COULD BE PALLY YET.
IF SOMEONE GRABS YOU WITH THEIR LARIAT
DON'T DILLY-DALLY, PET
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

300 People May Slightly Die.
Why I Must Never Learn How to Create Fanvids, Reason One of Many: my first creation would inevitably be a video set to 'I Don't Dance' of High School Musical 2, with David Mitchell in the role of Chad and Jonathan Ross as Ryan.
It would be awful. I would be immediately and universally despised.
