stoopid costume
something I like about myself? For day 20... my inability to dress myself without doing something bizarre, actually.
It cracks me up...

Day 21 is supposed to be an image inspired by my favorite song, but favorite song--it's like asking for my favorite book. No Can Do.

Here is a picture that looks just like what I saw as I played Moonlight Sonata five hundred times, though -- and titled Moonlight Sonata.
See also the LJ skin I use for my gossamer_spun  account. Neither have gently rocking boats, but hey, you can't have everything...

Alert - Asian Drama notes below

ahhhh, just got to the best fallout to accidental kissing ever written in shojo, which I had forgotten about until I restarted this T-Drama: drunk hero kisses heroine, and...she runs away and cries, even though she likes him.
She doesn't know why she's upset. But she is.

Hana Kimi's writer actually has moments of brilliance in that fairly silly girl-as-boy-in-boy-school-for-LUUUUURVE manga. The more complex emotions, and the more unfunny complications of masquerading as a man surprised me a few times. In this kind of super-escapist wish-fulfilment literature, there are *plenty* of things brushed under the rug for the sake of fun. GREAT GIANT CARE PACKAGE OF--uh, yeah, I'm going to go drop this off with the school nurse who knows I'm a girl, brb haha.




This drama spends a lot more time than I have patience for in lala-land with the characters thinking of outrageous scenarios...but that's a failing of these sorts of dramas, and the Taiwanese scriptwriters seem to *really* love them. To make up for it, the hero has already realized she's a girl (which since it's not in her POV strictly, we can see this) and he's having a bit of fun with it...

Also, his tattoos have appeared. I thought these guys were a boy band, but apparently he's not the straight-laced ingénue he appears (and is cast for).   [for the record, I don't have anything against tattoos, but in Asia it's a *much* bigger deal to have one.]
Wu Chun, with kiwi

The silliness of this makes me think of "You're Beautiful" and the limes.
Geun-Suk, I am so happy you are doing another show...

Though his character in Mary Stayed Out All Night isn't as much fun. Yet.



Not that this post needed a point, with all the sour-fruit-eating boyfaces floating around, BUT, the real thing I'm geeking out about is a writer taking an opportunity to do a more unusual, genuine thing with a fairly tired trope. (When drinks, becomes a kissing monster. The list of odd shojo tropes could last for hours of hilarity, really... oh, in V.B. Rose [GOOD COMIC] they have a fake out where you think that's what they're going to say a guys does when drinking, but he just throws up instead. And then the writer plays it really well for a much more interesting scene afterward. SO GOOD.)

So yeah.
