Drove 40 minutes out of my way to catch GB in 3D IMAX before it gets replaced by Star Trek – even though I generally don’t like 3D, I had a vague feeling that I’d regret at least the chance of watching my beloved GB and the clearly-made for 3D effects in the big theater when I had the chance.

FYI unless someone else shows up this is also gonna be a private viewing. I feel so special.

I told my parents how quickly these Disney LEGO minifigs sold out and how bummed I was that I only got maybe seven unique figures, and look what arrived in my birthday box!

Since there are 18 of them and they are all open and then taped shut again, I have the suspicion that they found me a complete set.

My parents are awesome. šŸ˜

EDIT: it’s not a complete set, but the 4 that were duped (anyone need an extra Ariel? Or two?) I already have the missing 4 so now my collection really is complete! Yay!

so i’ve only been following you for about a month, so i don’t have all your nuances/faves/history down yet, so: question time! (for things not covered in the faq) favorite actress? fave kpop groups/artists? when/how/why did you get into dramas? Favorite pieces of media outside of dramaland? how quickly can you do the Vessel With the Pestle bit?

Hi! And welcome! Tbh I’m not sure I even have all my nuances and faves down myself, so I’d be impressed if you figured that all out in a month.

On to the questions:

  • favorite actress?

I’ve been on an Im Joo Eun kick for Woozily reasons, but she’s definitely a long-term fave and I’m hoping she finds a break-through eventually. (Fun fact: my twitter/DB avatar is Dong Ah from Wild Romance)

  • fave kpop groups/artists?Ā 

Big Bang; Brown Eyed Girls; Wonder Girls; MBLAQ; CNBLUE; FTIsland; Infinite; 2NE1; miss A; f(x); B1A4 (basically anything pre-2012 bc I’m so out of touch)

  • when/how/why did you get into dramas?

I’ll watch just about anything tbh and a friend introduced me to jdramas, where I promptly fell in love with the high-school manga adaptations (HANA KIMI 4LYFE). Then there was this Hana Yori Dango remake that I kept hearing about, and the rest isĀ BoF gateway drug history (no I don’t know why I latched onto kdramas instead of jdramas when normally I seem to prefer the jdrama versions but life is a mystery, y’know?)

  • Favorite pieces of media outside of dramaland?

Like, other tv shows that aren’t dramas?

Veronica Mars; Parks & Rec; Gilmore Girls; Arrested Development; Pushing Daisies; RTD-era Doctor Who; Slings & Arrows; Psych; The OC; Lois & Clark; anything that remotely resembles a cooking competition

  • how quickly can you do the Vessel With the Pestle bit?

Depends on whether or not it’s before or after they broke the chalice from the palace.

I forgot how fun it was watching tv with my bff (anything on tv – we’re not picky) and then commenting our way through it. We’re probably the most annoying people to watch tv with tbh but at least we make it into an interactive sport.

Before she got married and moved away, it used to be our regular Friday night habit – get takeaway and then plop ourselves down in front of her tv and catch up on each other’s week while talking to the tv. It’s not even snark – it’s just genuine befuddlement and warning the characters and making dumb jokes.

(This reminds me we have to make at least one night free to watch Grizzly Man and eat Indian food because that’sĀ ā€œourā€ thing and I can’t bear – heh – to watch Grizzly Man without her despite how much I love that movie.)
