I am just terrible at updating. For the past two weeks I've been all, "Oh, I'll post something tomorrow!" and now it's "Well, hello, New Year!" and I haven't posted anything since Christmas.

Also, there's been so much Left 4 Dead 2 going on in the house since bringing home the XBox that I actually had a dream about it last night. About trying to find fic for it, actually; my subconscious apparently ships Ellis/Nick and in the dream I was looking up fic while being mocked for it by my flist. I don't even know. I've barely even played the game! (I'm terrible at fps games, especially multiplayer ones. Which is why I've been contenting myself with Dragon Age and my entitled little princeling rogue.:)

Although now that it's been brought to my attention, I do kind of ship it. Definite Yuletide nomination for next year.

In other gaming news, I am doing something terribly wrong and can't get past the first Reaper battle in Day One of the Joshua chapter of The World Ends With You. I keep finding walkthroughs saying this is an easy fight and I wind up shouting at the screen, "But I've died three times. REDEFINE EASY!" Can anyone clue me in as to where I'm going wrong here?

I'm super excited for the fandom_stocking unveiling tomorrow, even I didn't get to write half of what I'd planned on. New tiny fics!

As you've no doubt cunningly deduced from my icon, I did in fact see Sherlock Holmes on Christmas. ( *sings* It's Guy Love! That's all it is! )

Non-spoilerly: Fun, fun movie. Not a better Holmes than the Granada series (but how could it be? Although I might actually like Jude Law's Watson a teensy bit better. Shhhhh!) but much closer the the source that you might believe and filled with lots of little references for Holmes aficionados.
