Just your usual fannish update
Yup, still in tropical paradise. Had a bizarre dream in which the Winchester brothers ended up on Moya, which is probably a hint I should watch more Farscape but not before bed.
Watched the second ep of Samurai Champloo which was neat and second episode of Hana Kimi which was neater. I just love how close to the manga this is, and how spot on characters are. I am seriously falling in love with Quan (Sano) all over again. I love how he is amused by Rui Xi's subterfuge and so he gives her enough time to change into her boy-compliant stuff and she accuses him of 'laughing at her secretly,' and I love that he walks into the bathroom as she is taking a bath and ends up walking out hastily and fixating :D I love Rui Xi's stubborn attempts to make up with him after their fight. Quan is very good at shutting out, isn't he? And I love his growing confusion about his feelings as he wonders why he was so mean to that girl just to protect Rui Xi. And the whole bit where he runs to 'save' her from Nan (though there is no need) and ends up telling her the real reason he quit high-jump, about being afraid of the pressure. And Rui Xi (who is beyond adorable) being clueless and wondering why he decided to jump again and he is being all wryly resigned about her incomprehension of his feelings. Guuuuuuuh, I love their dynamics. And she is crying and he totally wants to hug her and comfort her but he knows he can't because she is supposed to be a guy and so he is just being awkward and eeeeeeee!
The thing I love about him, besides his being so amused and such a nice guy, is that he is very 'boy.' He will make an awesome partner for Rui Xi but I can't imagine him doing flowery speeches or giving her lots of fancy presents or what not. He is just a really really good, protective, caring guy.
Xiu Yi (Nakatsu) continues to crack me up.
Oh, and side note? Mmmmmm...shirtless Quan. I was cracking up at Rui Xi sneaking quick peeks. LOL
I have also finished the Takizawa Hideaki jdrama Boku Dake No Madonna though judicious use of ff button. TH was excellent in it (and was angsting most prettily in the shower) but the female lead drove me nuts. That is actually a big chunk of the reason I adore kdramas and twdramas but not jdramas for most part. The female leads. Most times, I fall madly for the female leads in a kdrama (usually before I fall for the hero, actually). And most times, that's true for twdramas too. But in jdramas, with a few exceptions, I want to strangle them, and here was no exception. I totally loathed her and she never changed. Still, worth watching for the scenes of TH running through the city in search of her in a suit, looking angsty and hot and awesome. And then, he is standing in a shallow canal, still sweaty and in a suit (long story) and he pulls her into a hug from behind and it's just...guuuuuuh. Or the scene at the end where he found her and told her he loved her and there was a hell of a lot of awesome kissing.
Now I am sort of torn. I don't want to watch a jdrama, so I am probably going to finish Magicians of Love. I have a mad yen to rewatch Mars though (both of which dramas I have here). I'd actually rewatch Meteor Garden which I also have here, but HYD 2 is going to start before I finish and I don't want to be confused. Helpful hints?
I still have the bulk of S2 of Farscape to get through, and Samurai Champloo, and I started Nana the anime (very pretty) but I am thinking of doramas as well...
