posting while upset, why do some stories write themselves despite my best efforts? and dramas. Obvi.
I realized last night that when I'm upset, I tend to want to post something on my blog, but never about what I'm actually upset about. I usually get lost in the maze of other things I could post as substitutes, realize I'm too ruffled to write well, and then give up and go to bed.
Just thought I'd note why there are never rants on my LiveJournal. I've found it weird myself...

Gallery of Shows: What I'm Watching Now
cutest scene ever in My Princess
should have some new episodes to watch now! Basically, this is a really good, well-written show. You should try it if you've ever loved even one Korean comedy.
And can I say (ETA as I watch ep.4)? The dynamic of two leads who aren't fighting and aren't falling for each other but getting into each others shenanigans like natural friends is a DELIGHTFUL refreshing mood. :many hearts:
They even mostly dress like this, for real, in Magicians of Love.
I'm really wanting things to work out for Ming Dao's character to be happy, and to see the heroine level up in her skills.
The secondary characters we're following mostly don't interest me, though, they feel too much like their own types.
The plot tries to make me worried that the local barber shop catering to business men and soldiers, doing calls to the prisons and nursing homes, will be swallowed up by the new salon of high-fashion makeovers...and I'm really having a hard time suspending my disbelief. This may end up a "watch the fan MVs to get the plot overview" case, because it's boring me when the two main characters aren't on the screen *together*.
Another strike against it is Dream High.
I can watch several great shows at a time, but watching a mediocre one is nigh impossible when you have others that are really awesome already splitting your attention.
Dream High is another one currently on, about kids getting into an arts high school, and the returning director who has found it turned to a show-biz idol factory in his absence to launch a branch school. I both love and hate it when the cutest character is a middle-aged authority figure--mostly because in shows like this, he won't be ending up with any of the heroines. :dashed:
Or...? I've only seen the first episode. I need to see the next two before I can say for sure. XD

Third topic makes a lopsided post at least systematic...
I'm currently completely e't up with a stupid story with a particular character dynamic and setting, which is going to be a novella, and ALSO completely useless except as some kind of exercise.
But. I have yet another take on the superhero genre that seems to be forming at the back of my brain.
I'm thinking that my current novel project, Archivalist, is just a slow-bloomer, and the fact that I haven't plunged into it yet is a sign of it's natural pace. Because predicting I still have something terribly off in my mind about it is just too sad. AGAIN.
