There's a controversial drama out there in k-drama land. So of course I have thoughts. These are them.

I started watching I Miss You for intellectual reasons. The melodrama, Nice Guy, ended with an unfortunate whimper, passing on what I thought had been an interesting plot-line. So I was in no mood for another heavy melo. And everything I'd heard ( Read more... )

So Hunger Games opens today and we'll be going to see it tomorrow (barring any earth shattering events) and I thought this would be a good time to write my "Defense of Peeta" post that I've been meaning to post since forever. (Or whenever I first read the books then went online. So. Yeah. Forever. *g*)

Only it's not so much a defense because ( Read more... )

Last weekend I enjoyed a lovely feast of storytelling. Saw a great movie (X-Men: First Class), watched an excellent tv show (The Game of Thrones on HBO), and plowed through an addictive trilogy (Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins). I had an absolute blast gorging myself on the various mediums, losing myself in the various stories. But some modes ( Read more... )

So the last "Episodes"... um, episode managed to wrench a giant "urg" as well as an, "omg, no!" from me. Which... I guess is something? ( spoilers and also a rant )

I have finally weeded my RL email-inbox from well over 200 emails to 2. TWO!! I also organized the crap out of my email folders. I am made of awesome. \o/ To celebrate, I shall now talk television.

We have just started watching ( The Wire )

I've been away from the computer visiting with family (which was so, so awesome! it's been so long since I've seen so much of my family with such consistency), so this post is probably not quite as au courant as I'd have liked. But it's been lingering in my "post" file for a while, so I'm doing it. :) (Plus, this is the internet. Conversations ( Read more... )

Which, considering it's a show all about a serial killer trying to make it in "civilized society", is pretty massive. Because I'm not generally a fan of shows where you're supposed to dislike the main character (the main reason I gave up on "The Sopranos"). And I'm still not. Somehow Dexter manages to make the serial killer likable. Despite ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about this (incredibly far-reaching) topic for a while, trying to get my thoughts in some semblance of order, but it's been pretty impossible. So I'm embracing the chaos and just free writing this beastie. I'll be interested to see how it turns out! :)

( Is there a distinct style difference between women writers and men writers? )

So after picking up a couple of shifts and working, working, working, I got sick. :( Nothing dramatic, I'm pleased to say. Just the sort of thing where you have to haul a kleenex box around everywhere you go. But it was annoying and a bit exhausting ( Read more... )

I've been feeling a lack of Stargate:Atlantis love and it's gotten me down. But! I refuse to go gently into that dark night! I will misquote poetry if I have too! Or... I could just write about something I love about SGA. Probably less painful that way...

Here's something I adore: The soldier/scientist relationship. They didn't invent it (now ( Read more... )
