Just finished watching...and...

I...

I....

Just....I don't even....

Oh, DOCTOR!

It's late and I'm sleepy. But I just finished episode 11....

Been awhile sense I've posted. Was sick and then had to deal with the large pile of homework that I ignored while being sick. I've been watching a couple airing dramas which sets back my drama backlog a bit (God. I want to finish When It's At Night but things keep getting in the way).

First off, You're Beautiful continues to rock my nonexistent socks off (as I wear flip-flops). I NEVER though I'd like it this much but it continues to be hilarious and borderline heart-breaking (as only the Hong Sisters could do to me). Tae Kyung owns my heart. (I love this actor...he's my age which makes it all the more excellent, lol).

Spoilery thoughts after the cut:

( Ahh...the ageless love story of a nun and an idol singer...wait...what? )

Secondly, I'm caught up with You Smile and....SQUEE. Yes. SQUEE. Thank Hyun Soo for finally getting even the tiniest semblance of a clue. (I don't think he's there yet but he's getting closer!) Jung-In also continues to rock. She's going to own him in the relationship. (I can't wait!)

AND in other news, the guy who played Korean Rui in Boys Over Flowers is going to be in a remake of Kimi Wa Petto (the weird one about the girl who like adopts a guy as her pet dog or something). I'm laughing only cause...yeah...he can't act. Best of luck though.....yikes.

Um. So. Wow. Long time. Life sucks right now and I'm doing everything I can to stay afloat. Anyhow, in the interim...WATERS OF MARS COMES OUT NOVEMBER 15! I can barely control myself excitement to see the Doctor again. This one looks creepy as hell (I mean...water-zombies? The Doctor's little speech about how water always wins because it can just...wait? *shudder*) Enjoy it below while I resist the urge to shoot my neighbors cause they can't bother to turn their bass down. I'm pretty sure I saw a Bones episode like that...

(Why is it when I typed that subject I want to break out into that god-awful song by whats-his-face? Can't remember the artist but I heard it playing in Subway. Anyways.)

I just finished watching episode 1 and 2 of You're Beautiful and, um, I kinda sorta love it. It's so...I don't know. I can't even describe it...




( Idols who are angels and a crossdressing nun..who knew? )

Arg. I need to finish listening to Catching Fire. It's taking up space on my iPod AND computer. I've mentioned this before but the heroine of this book and the first one, The Hunger Games, is a bit irksome. She doesn't feel real to me at all. It's like "RAWR I AM A STRONG WOMAN. LOOK AT ME HUNT." It's like the author is smacking me over the head to see that the character is supposed to be a certain way. I'd rather make that connection on my own thanks. Hiding behind labels doesn't make you any more realistic.

/end rant.

So, apparently, I'm on a kick to rewatch all the dramas I love/stayed up all night to finish (looking at you, My Girl.) I just finished Last Scandal and have now moved on to City Hall. *sigh* Love this one. Has the best ending ever, in my opinion. It might be my favorite...Spring Waltz is number two. (Yeah, I'm one of those saps who love those ridiculously happy endings. Me=hopeless, sappy romantic.) That might make a fun post to do one day....hmmm....I could never really make lists as I can't make a decision to save my life (okay, I could to save my life. But you get what I mean.)

Speaking of dramas, there's a bunch of new ones coming up....

( Spies, idols, journalist, arranged marriages...oh my! )

In other news, I bough ant killer today so those bugs better watch it. I'm armed. (Plus it smells like lemons which I like, lol).

Alrighty, I'm going to snuggle in my bed and watch City Hall. I should do some homework but....meh.

So, quick little entry. I saw the new Doctor Who logo (though I STILL don't quite understand the need to change the regular one. I'm going to miss it).



( Timey, wimey, wibbily wobbily....stuff )

So I've been rewatching The Last Scandal of my Life and remembering why it's one of my favorite kdramas (though I pretty much exclusively watch them so I might as well just say dramas). I don't mind angst (when I'm prepared for it, anyways) but it's SO nice that Last Scandal doesn't have that much. There's still a bit so it's doesn't fall prey to what I call the "Love Marriage effect." (Love Marriage is a cute little drama that's entirely forgettable because there's little to no conflict.).

Anyways. It's a good drama to watch when you want to just laugh and sigh over the romance (which is me 90% of the time anyways). Jae Bin is hilariously childish...=)



Love him, hee hee.

In other drama-related news, I've been slowly watching When It's At Night. It's a Kim Sun Ah drama and she's always entertaining to watch. I'm ambivalent towards her famous drama My Name is Kim Sam Soon (Hyun Bin is a very pretty man but he's an unmitigated ass throughout and towards the end I just sort of stopped caring too much. Oh well. To each their own). But I LOVED City Hall. So I'm giving this one a shot (though I've heard the story's a bit weak).



So. This guy, Lee Dong Gun? Totally didn't think he was hot until this. Just doesn't really seem my type but of course, he's playing an arrogant playboy who is snarky, a combo that hardly ever disappoints me. (And Sun Ah is playing a cop who doesn't have time for his crap. It's great.) Again, I see the picture up there and it doesn't do anything for me. So I watch a couple episodes and.....yowza. He's got that hotness in motion sort of thing....pictures under the cut.
( Evidence of the hotness )
The plot is a bit meh but these two definitely have some nice chemistry and I'll sacrifice a lot for the sake of two good main characters with good chemistry. Sun Ah really does tend to have some good chemistry with all her leading men. I now need to watch the movie where she's alongside Gong Yoo (because I MISS HIM. God. I have One Fine Day in my Netflix list for a rewatch just for him. That wasn't even a stellar drama but he makes it awesome). It's on my list...She's On Duty? Something like that.

*sigh* Why is my Page Design midtern tomorrow? I don't want to study. BAH. At least Rappy McRapperson hasn't been home all weekend. I feel like I've gotten my sleep back. Anyhow, I'll post again later this week! =)

I can hear my neighbor rapping through my wall...along with his music (well, I pretty much only hear/feel the baseline).

Help.

So I was rewatching Brilliant Legacy the other day (my friend recently found out about my dorama obsession and is now hooked on Brilliant Legacy) and there's just something that keeps cropping up in my head...

We all know and lust love David Tennant. At least...I do. Random fact: he might be the one celebrity that would cause me to just sort of fall over in the presence of his sheer Time Lord awesomeness.

Anyways... ( I CAN'T UNSEE IT )

Back again for yet another picspam with my random commentary. Enjoy it for what it's worth! =)

4th Inning



( Even if it were kissing you, I wouldn’t have any feelings... )

I finished a really cute drama the other day Fantasy Couple. It's loosely based on the 1987 movie Overboard which starred Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn and I have seen it many a Saturdays on TBS.




( Fantasy Couple ahoy...they eat a lot of noodles in this drama... )
And speaking of heroines...I'm having issues with the heroine of The Hunger Games, Katniss.

( Spoilers for The Hunger Games and its sequel )

Other than that, not much. Gotta get back to all the work that's staring at me. You know, kinda like that creepy Geico commercial.

*sigh*

Another day, another picspam for dorama_watch

Enjoy!



( There is always a wild card in baseball )

So at dorama_watch, we've begun watching 9 End 2 Outs which is one of my all-time favorite dramas. In honor of this, I'm going to attempt to do a picspam of each episode (along with my funny-only-to-myself commentary). Just a note though: I have never made screencaps on my own so yeah...if anyone knows of a program that also captures the subtitles, let me know. For now...let's just wing it!

Here we go!

( Life is like baseball )

So. To sum up my last two weeks...

- My grandfather died which led to me being generally mopey and lacking focus which then led to be getting behind at school.
- Financial aid deciding to make me jump through hoops in order to get money and as time goes on, I'm thinking I won't get anything from them. Scrounging up enough money to feed myself.
- Not sleeping enough.
- Running around all over the place.
- Going to Dragon*Con back home (I saw Ianto!). Fun but involved an eight hour drive to Atlanta and like a nine hour drive back cause I got a flat somewhere around the GA/FL border.
- My car deciding to stop working once and so I'm paranoid to the max every time I turn it on.
- Neighbor who decided that he should listen to god-awful rap music so loud that my stuff shakes.
- And generally failing at math all around....

So. Yeah. That's been my life. I half expect a piano to drop from the sky. I cannot get out of this gray-hazy-funk that I'm in. It's gotten to be so hard to just...focus and not be annoyed by things. I think a trip to Disney World may be in order, I did get my pass renewed.

AND! Oh! What is this

:( I bet it's something Asian...isn't it? )

Oh! And I watched Glee! It was funny though at this point I'm in it for the singing. I don't really care for the characters yet (except the teacher guy...he's married to a selfish brat and I really want him to get with the sweet guidance counselor. Only I hope they don't turn him into a cheater. He's too nice. Remind me of Jack Carter from Eureka a bit. I'm curious which songs will make it into the show. I mean, they did do a Kanye song after all.....

*sigh*

Well, I'll get back to my hoping that the sun does fall into the earth. Oh and I'll hopefully finish Hunger Games and start Catching Fire. Good books.

Later!

Fall semester's starting again. You know, it really doesn't feel like I'm a senior at all. It feels more like going through the motions these days. I can't explain it cause I should be excited that I'm almost done with college. I mean, this is where my life really starts isn't it? Getting a job, being away from my parents ect.? I guess nervousness just starts to take over and I just hope that I'll get to do what it is I'm setting out to do. I don't know. I think I just need to sleep more. College prevents me sleeping...

In fandom-related news -- I'm impatient for the year-end Doctor Who specials and the upcoming 5th series. I'm going to bawl when David Tennant leaves but I'm intrigued by Matt Smith. I'm just curious as to where he and the Moffett will be taking hte series. Russell focused on relationships and character stuff so I'm what spin the Moff's going for? It's intriguing...

( In Kdrama land... )

Shout-out to one of my best mates, marieofilledra , making it onto Lifejournal! Welcome to my super-sekrit corner of the internet, lol.

My friends found out about my closet Asian drama obsession and now they want to watch Brilliant Legacy....

Hee. Heehehehehe...

I'm slightly embarrassed and slightly excited as I've really had no one to watch these with.  But it's all good. I can't wait to show them Coffee Prince.

GONG YOO!

Sorry. I'll go now.
