hisashiburiiiiiii Drama Filter!

So. I haven't been watching much of anything...at my normal pace. And have been posting random thoughts on a Tumblr account. But that Tumblr account is not giving me the gratification of actual interaction. SO HERE I AAAAAM.

It's been a while since I first meant to blog about these, but they just keep falling by the wayside--mostly because these aren't shows I feel are so brain-exploding awesome everyone MUST WATCH, nor particularly unknown, so I feel the need to alert people to their existence. And yet, they were so much fun!

Gokusen I actually haven't finished. I try ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to post about some of the stuff I've been reading/watching but the list has gotten to the point of madness.

Today my knitting projects helped me start a couple of decent dramas, and finish one.

(I'm on introvert recovery still--after trying to spend holiday time with the family, having both my brother and Dad around through today, and having to do the housekeeping the past two days...well. Still catching up. It's been a long month.)

The one I'll mention, ( Read more... )

The good thing AND the bad thing about Japanese mini-series dramas is that they're short.

Nobuta wo Produce was a show that never seemed to settle for the expectation. It's a pretty simple set up; popular boy gets talked into making bullied girl ( Read more... )

Okay. I have watched some fluffy dramas in my day.
THIS has got to be the most icing-topped one I have ever set eyes on, though. 4 minutes and 40 seconds in and it is sheer shojo-wish-fulfillment---AND YET.

Rich mean girls whose BUTLERS act as their back-up in mean-girl comments?

...this can lead no where good. You may look forward to my most ( Read more... )

I spent the bulk of yesterday trying to detangle a laceweight skein of yarn while watching Hana Kimi.
