Art Time!

Kitty Time

So I've been working on a couple of posts but they're still not done. So in the mean time: cats.

Audrey is a very classy lady. 

Poor Booboo keeps chewing sores on himself so he has to wear a cone for now :(

Albus has found himself a lovely place to sleep in my shelves.

But Missy's the prettiest of all!!

Well, Hello To You Too Morning!

French Toast. 

I woke up around 3 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I  decided to get up and make a lovely breakfast for myself and Charlotte. Char was in a bit of hurry so it was just me. Still, a lovely Monday morning. Audi helped me take pictures though. She's just so thoughtful that way.

Slip Drawings

I started these so I could use up some slip that's been drying out in my studio. They're so much fun though. I want to arrange them in sets of four as wall pieces. I want two to be white and two to be gold. Gold glazes are expensivvvve though :(

As some of you may or may not be aware of, there are a good number of asian romantic comedies, and dramas on Netflix as well as Hulu. We will never really know why they chose to create such an extensive collection of this genre but I'm incredibly glad they did.

I know you're think it's ridiculous and that you could never bring yourself to suffer reading subtitles to a show; especially shows as random and laughable as these, but believe me, you'd never regret it.

It all started on a whim. One night at 3 in the morning, a bottle of wine and a severely limited selection of good movies on Netflix took me to Boys over Flowers; Korea's ultimate entertainment contribution to the world. Apparently a smash hit in South Korea, this show is the epitome of everything you will find in an asian drama.

Poor yet spunky female protagonist
Rich, emotionally stunted, feminine boys
Evil side characters who like emotional and physical abuse
      (mostly aimed at the female protagonist)
Kidnappings
Inappropriate music for key scenes
Melodramatic responses to easily solvable problems
Being threatened with a knife
Makeovers
Parents who don't listen their children
Random and unnerving use of the english language
And last but not least, horrible production value

Since then, I've watched a fair few of these shows and, honestly, each one is even better than the last. So here's what I've been thinking, once a week I'll make a post giving a review of each series and I'll let you know which ones are great for an afternoon and a laugh, and which ones just drag on and on (which most tend to do).

Important side note, tv shows work a little differently in Korea. They run on a quick and limited basis. Shows usually air with about 20 episodes, showing two new episode a week. So while we love to drag things out here in America, (Grey's Anatomy is on year 7, season 9, episode 172 ) Korea airs each show in about 10 weeks time, end it, and then move on the next big thing. So starting a show shouldn't take too much of your time.

So in a few days I'll be posting my first "review". In the mean time, I'd definitely suggest you get on this bandwagon. It's gonna be big.
