I'll keep this one short and sweet, but I'm sorry guys

I'm pretty sure Sokka is the best, and the Avatars and bitter Firebending princes (that...sounds naughty to me for some reason) can go off with their emotions and heroics while we giggle in an igloo.

Just so's you know.

This is my per-episode check in to tell you what is awesome about this show.

I've been keeping a gleaming eye on the department's Old Guy, and today he's taking the two young heroes to his contact about a tip. BEST HERO WALK ENTRANCE EVER.

He's so chill and grandpa-like and yet even just standing there you know he's awesome. For what besides his ( Read more... )

Noona is one of those brilliant words that will never quite translate into another language, it's so tied up in its culture's own dynamics.

Black and White, EP. 5:

Today: spring cleaning while the sun shines

Writing Stats, in brief:

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...

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... )

I watched the opening episode of "Extravagant Challenge", the Skip-Beat! drama being broadcast in Taiwan. Despite my many reservations. And while a lot of those reservations are spot on, I think it's going to be a decent rendition. That...I will skim liberally if I watch any more of it at all.

Some days are just a Skip-Beat! day.

Today, starting at about 10pm, has become one--why is this manga so GOOD?

Why does the Taiwanese drama have to look so BAD?
