Mind is BLOWN

[mookiehyun]

I love Olympics and it's been the most normal happenstance where I grew up to watch it as a family unit, every event that's aired, every night and day (it's summer break).  I don't rem Winter Olympics being aired as a kid so as a result, I do not have sucha strong emotional bond with it and care for it less.  Afterall snow is a thing great many of

I don't think O is uniting the world either, on the contrary it precipitates a lot of the latent prejudices and bigotry. It's always there, as is division, people, with differences, will ALWAYS fight one way or the other. I'd rather they headbutt this way, and let a few little persons have a dream and a goal to work towards and improve their lives because for a lot of them, it's still the only way moving up from poverty. For a gen above us, who've lived through the cold war and the games was truly much more hostile and parts of the world were more closed off, they do comment how at least through the years of exposure, things r changing...slowly. Bottom line is, it's still an event most of the world is participating in and looking it on the 'minuscule' scale of a person having a goal and working towards it for the entire life no matter what the ugliness behind the scene and performing at the world stage, it still has its magic to me.

My interest in sports has dwindled over the years to the point that I haven't watched one single event of this year's Olympics. Feels kinda odd as I used to be almost religious in my Olympics watching, following even all sorts of odd events that never had any participation from here.

ILiCDD has taken over my life. If I didn't have to work I'd be watching it all day long, every day.... On 2nd tought, may it's a good thing I AM working. Panda-eyes are in vougue this summer, right? ;P

[mookiehyun]

It's truly more nostalgia for me, BUT I do easily get caught up in those amazing personal Chariots of Fire stories. :)

Oh...I'm still 'nursing' my panda puffy eyes, as in I watched 169 and 170 Csubbed and cried my eyes out again. Have u hit 77? It was so memorable and still one of my fav ep, and it was a 'turning point' for me to appreciate the drama as a piece of true perfect art on top of enjoying the heck out of it watching.

I wonder how it would look if they lined up all of us ILiCDD addicts and took a picture. 'Are you folks related...? You look kinda alike.' ;P

I had to cut off at ep 75 last night as I was crosseyed enough not to really see straight anymore. I figured it was time for bed. Then today I realised I'd somehow passed 76-100 when I was grabbing the episodes. LOL! Ca. 40 more minutes and I've got those too. Looking forward to 77 then.

hahaha, gosh esp when we'll all have the matchy crookiest sillygrins on our face while our eyes r misty and blood-shot.

and I dun even know y but I have a irking you are almost at 77! :D I think I'll rewatch that particular ep tonite.

Rationally, IF I can spare bits of me to nitpick, there are flaws. I kinda in the back of my mind know TDKR has flaws but I refuse to entertain and process it whatsoever sitting through it twice.

The perfection to me is how respective and absolutely true to the source material in ANY aspect, even in the feels it evoked for me...when I do read comics at a teen, rabidly for a period AND as a grown woman who no longer can suspend my inner rant monster towards most superhero action movies, and for such dichotomy of beasts, with 2 so diff medium, I got the same thrills and excitement of the 14 yo me reading the colorful pages of comic books and going into a fancy IMAX/XD theater with all the visible reminders: security guards, heightened security, half empty Fri night theater...of the random massacre just a wk ago then.

I have a few guys I know preferring it more action-y, for that they can ALWAYS have transformer. Yeah and I do judge any boy who obviously haven't read a page of Batman and is not a Batman fan.

Oh and it's def not a male-female thing, the boys like their 'fairytale' ie 'save the world' stories and this is exactly that. My hubs and FiL walked out speechless and simultaneously gushed out, 'Wow, what an awesome/great/astonishing movie!' in the car.

Yup, I'm a hopeless romantic, so I looove the fairytale ending of TDKR. In the recent run of Batman in the actual comics, DC Comics killed him off in Batman R.I.P. They had him confess to Selina/Catwoman that she's his one true love in Heart of Hush, YET they just cannot let the Bat have his happily-ever-after and imposed this Jezebel Jet/Black Glove story arc on him to finally kill him off.

TDKR has fulfilled my BatCat shipper fantasies, so it's PERFECT to me. hahaha!

Looks like Loverboy's looks are likened with every popular athlete and K-Pop singer out there.
