Today: spring cleaning while the sun shines
Writing Stats, in brief:
So. I knew I'd sent out more poetry this year than last, I guessed about twice as much? But I couldn't remember exactly.
Last year: 32
This year: 130
DANG Y'ALL.
That's a lot more. It's not really that huge of an amount of submissions, where I counted each poem separately, but...
There are now TWO poems that I have no idea when they're coming out in the queue, but I have a nice magazine hard-copy where my poem "Returnee" appears, and I KNOW that in spring there's a set date for another.
And that's not really important, it just...bugs me. Heh.
Drama Bulletin:
The one thing the Taiwanese drama of Skip-Beat! has going for it is that it's playing by the book.
It's a little weird for me, though, to see a familiar, beloved story playing out in a completely different medium that is likewise familiar.
Almost the whole cast of lead and supporting actors (even some bit players) are faces I know that don't jar in the context of Taiwanese dramas, but...as characters I already have vivid in my mind? Yashiro is probably the only one I find spot-on. Kyoko isn't too bad either...
