( Sort of spoilers for tonight's Coronation Street )

I did manage to see some of Emmerdale tonight though. So, Declan's just a dick, isn't he? I can't tell if he's gotten worse since Nathan left, or was just always like that. And Mia thinks that her relationship with Adam should be more important to him than the fact she helped her dad try to evict his family. Okay. There's hardly anyone I really like on Emmerdale anymore, except Carl and Val. And it's just difficult to like Carl at the moment. And I don't even know what is happening with Cain and Amy. He doesn't know who she is or how old she is despite the fact they've been living in the same small village for a few months now, and she was working with his dad at one point? Hmph, Emmerdale.

Anyway. In other news, music I have learned I loved lately. Mostly it's You Think You're Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner. I heard it first in a garden and home centre on Monday, I think. I thought it was by Mika on hearing it, and I was so convinced about it that when I came home and looked it up and heard it on Youtube, I assumed Mike Posner did the original, or an earlier version, and it was actually a song from the 90s or 80s or something. But anyway. No. It's totally a new song, and I quite love it. It's funny actually, because I was thinking pretty hard about Blake/Jayden from Heavy Rain at the time, and it in some ways fits their relationship quite well. There are even a pair of high-tech glasses that Jayden wears to help him solve cases, which will probably make more sense if you've heard the song. But mostly I think it's probably Ryan Howard's theme song. Or everyone who knows Ryan Howards' theme song.

Otherwise, I finally listened to 19 by Adele, which I bought about a year ago, ahead of/around the same time I ordered her new album. It turns out it's really good, as I thought it probably would be. I really like Adele.

And speaking of Welsh people, it turns out the Newport State Of Mind vid from Red Nose Day is up on Youtube. Complete with Michael Sheen. Hurrah!

In other news, what the hell is happening with The Event? I knew it had come back, I saw it on the TV communities and stuff, but I don't know what my dad's download limit is like in terms of entire episodes of stuff, and I knew it would be coming back to Channel 4 at some point. So I waited, assuming I would hear about it, or that it would be back in it's old slot at 9 o'clock on a Friday. I'd heard something about it coming back on March 28th, and I looked out for it around then. But I heard nothing. Then a week or so ago I noticed in a TV guide an episode on one night at about 10.50 or 11.50, which I assumed was a repeat, but which didn't have the (rpt) symbol in the blurb. I forgot it was on and missed it anyway. Then I checked the Channel 4 website to see what they said, to find out they totally had started screening the second half of the season, and they had some episodes on the 4 on demand service that had already been on, but when I checked an episode guide it seemed that I'd still missed out on a few episodes before that. So what the hell? I'll probably have to man up and just download it. If my dad has enough downloading limit, obviously. But I really thought they might have MENTIONED it was back on somewhere. Man.

I really want to play more Heavy Rain, in an effort to try to get it finished, and finished quickly while still hopefully keeping everyone alive. But at the moment I'm so tired that turning my head slightly makes me feel a bit dizzy. Also I should probably try to get to bed tonight rather than stay up playing computer games, given that I want to get up at 10 to listen to Adam and Joe. So I probably won't play anymore tonight.

Is it wrong that when David Platt looks at Nick and says "discount", I hear "incest"? It's probably wrong.

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.
