I set myself a pile of books to read before I will let myself buy more books… (Don’t laugh, I swear I mean it this time.) This is the danmei pile… I’m been on the cdrama-vibe kick for awhile now and, while I like danmei, I would really like to read some not-danmei, you know, … Read more
Remember that post where I ❤️ happy endings and my consumption of a metric shit-ton of romance dramas? Well, there’s a light side and a dark side to that and I just finished watching the dark side. I’m not going to tell you the name of the drama, but it was bad and not just … Read more
This one comes to you direct from Love Like the Galaxy (LLTG), an otherwise excellent Chinese historical drama with all the right feels. Except for the horses. If you’re a horse person, the horses (and one fetlock in particular) are gonna knock you right out of the serenity. LLTG’s opening scenes are beautiful (check out … Read more
Before I get into the meat of this post… Merry Festive Season! I hope you have (or have had) a wonderful time with your nearest and dearest. Now… onto this week’s ramble! Would it surprise you to know that I watch a metric fuck-load of romance dramas, and not the tragic, teary ones mind you, … Read more
Just started watching Handsome Siblings. Nice action sequences, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the guy who plays Jiang Feng in something before and… I’m feeling the need to get a little, tiny, extra squeaky violin out for the big bad, Yaoyue. The script tries so hard to give her a decent reason to kill the … Read more
If you don’t know who Londo Molari is, you need to go watch Babylon 5. The graphics may be dated and some of the acting in season 1 may lack a little something (I’m looking at you Commander Sinclair), but it’s a fabulous story with awesome characters, and Londo Molari is one of the best. … Read more
Rewatching Elektra (the one with Jennifer Garner) while writing a newsletter and… I am still pissed that they chose that storyline. I mean… what‽ How naff is that? There are so many awesome stories they could have pulled from the comics and that Disney-esque thing was what they came up with? Gah. Bring on the … Read more
I’m not one for dramas where the main shtick is one of the leads being transformed into a pet against their will. There’s a whole heap of wrong in those scenarios and—much like the few romance books I tried reading recently—I spend most of the time wanting to smack the characters around the head. *shudders* … Read more
To start this off, if you don’t already know I’m addicted to Asian drama, it’s pretty much all I watch, with the exception of shows like The Great Australian Bake-off and Grand Designs. The terribly dramatic storylines, epic costumes and preponderance for fantasy is like catnip for this author; I can turn my brain off, … Read more
I hate going to the dentist. It’s the high-pitched whine of the drill that does it, and those little needles they use for the local anaesthetic just top it off; that crunching they make when they go in the roof of your mouth *shudder*. Anyway, I had to visit the tooth doctor the other week … Read more
