Free Writing Tip: Avoid The Word 'Gnome' At Dramatic Moments.
Here is an entry of bullet points, because today I have nothing to say that exceeds a paragraph.
- I'm a little further in Tales of the Abyss, and GUY CECIL IS SUCH A GOOD FRIEND. I want to be friends with Guy Cecil. Sadly, his phobia of being touched by women presents an obstacle to hugging, but other than that I think we could get along pretty well. (I'd have to accept that Luke would always be his priority, of course, but it would be unreasonable of me to grumble when his fondness for Luke is the reason I want to be friends with him in the first place.)
- Verdict on the fourth instalment of Higurashi, 'Himatsubushi': NO KEIICHI, TERRIBLE INSTALMENT. I'm here to fondly watch Keiichi suffer, Higurashi! I signed up for psychological horror and teenagers internally collapsing, not cop drama!
- There's also a sad lack of Keiichi in instalment five ('Meakashi') so far, but at least it's got the 'teenagers internally collapsing' aspect (and Keiichi's name appeared in the puzzling opening credits that only actually credited fictional characters, rather than any real people, so I suspect he'll show up later on). 'Meakashi' also contains a version of a song I listened to a lot nine years ago, and it was incredibly disconcerting to hear it in context and go 'wait, I recognise that tune'; I'd forgotten Higurashi was the original source! It was like seeing Troy bring pizza into the burning room in Community and going WAIT, I'VE SEEN THIS GIF.
- Recently, I watched the first episode of a Ukrainian crime drama entitled THE SNIFFER, about a man who solves crime with his superhuman sense of smell. It contains, you'll be pleased to hear, intense CGI sequences where he draws in a deep breath at the crime scene and all the smells swirl and scurry around, forming a picture of what happened there. The killer was trying to quit smoking. He was wearing a nicotine patch; it was on his right arm. A whirlwind of scent surrounds you. There's so much blood in the air. If a cat enters the room, you will have an allergic reaction so strong you won't be able to leave your flat for three days. Your wife left you long ago; your son is involved in drug dealing. Why were you cursed with this incredible nose?
- (I said I wasn't playing Higurashi for cop drama, but I'd definitely play an instalment in which THE SNIFFER tried to get to the bottom of the mysterious happenings in the village.)
- A recent dream I somehow failed to record here: I dreamt I met Sherlock Holmes as played by Benedict Cumberbatch and he declared with ferocious pride that he had ‘all the penises’, and he stripped off his trousers and pants in one motion to reveal he had a cluster of one big penis surrounded by lots of tiny penises, and I woke up feeling incredibly troubled.

Betrayal!
Your wife left you long ago; your son is involved in drug dealing. Why were you cursed with this incredible nose?
That sounds epic! I so need to check it out when I'm in America and have Netflix! (Although, while it would be the first show I'd watch about someone fighting crime with the power of a heightened sense of smell, I've already seen two other shows that include a character fighting crime with a heightened sense of smell. Which means one thing - terrible crossovers!)

That probably would be unsettling to dream, but it's hilarious to picture.

Curious! I assume one is Daredevil; what's the other?
no subject
Psych, actually. The main character's best friend had what was called "The Supersniffer", and basically could smell things really well. (Although if I crossed over Daredevil and Psych, Matt Murdock and Shawn Spencer would take about five minutes to make each other miserable on the "You're pretending to be psychic and are just really smart and observant!" "Yeah, while you're pretending not to be a superpowered blind ninja with a devil costume!" front.)

Also: he stripped off his trousers and pants in one motion to reveal he had a cluster of one big penis surrounded by lots of tiny penises, and I woke up feeling incredibly troubled. I'm going to have that image in my head for days, so you're spreading the troubled-ness around. Well done, you.

I just looked for Sniffer fanfiction because of you. Alas, there is none to be found.
Please enjoy your new mental screensaver.

That's one of the most hilarious and troubling dreams I've ever heard of, omg.

To be honest, that GIF is a bit unsettling now that I can never look at Sherlock in the same way again.
no subject
Oh, oops! Ahahahaha sorry? I just couldn't resist.

That dream is incredibly troubling. Ol' Benedict Holmes has my sympathies. I get into plenty of trouble with just one penis. If I have a bunch of little penises that surrounded it, well...
... Well.
no subject
Pfft, just one penis. What a loser.

If you've got a 360, I'd highly recommend Vesperia. It's one of the strongest titles to date, and has a very excellent storyline with moral grayness and a wonderful, roguish protagonist.
Graces F for PS3 isn't as good as Abyss, but it's still a fun tale and title. I'd shoot it a recommendation too.
And yeah. My one penis marks me as the ultimate loser. Tearssss.
