Thank you + The Listener

[alexandral]

Thank you so much for all your well-wishes, I am back to 100% normal. I have slept, watched "Black and White", "Fringe", and Korean drama "Fly High" (I love love love this drama, may be the best drama I watched in the last three month. More details about "Fly High" here).

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Also I have been watching Canadian show "The Listener". It is quickly becoming my favourite of the season. The premise is similar to the one in "Thoughtcrimes", a 2003 film that actually was a pilot episode of the show that never went ahead: a paramedic Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) can read your thoughts. He helps to fight crime. This wasn't instantaneous love for me, more of the "Craig Olejnik is pretty I must watch this" phenomena. But slowly the show is catching up with me: it is pretty, it has lovely cast and awesome female characters, it promises interesting backstory developments. It doesn't have boringly silly plots like "The Mentalist" and it doesn't hit any of my annoyance buttons. I like stories about mindreaders.



Reasons to watch The Listener
Reson 1: Craig Olejnik is pretty:



Craig Olejnik is cute:


He was born to wear a cravat. May be he is related to Richard Armitage, for the awesomeness of his profile has no bounds:


Craig Olejnik's eyelashes are long and thoughtful:


He has a great OTP with a no-nonsense female detective (Lisa Marcos)


WHo can rescue anyone any time:


And doesn't believe him:


She is gorgeous:


Also:
1. I love the show's colouring
2. Enis Esmer plays an adorable friend of Toby's
3. Colm Feore plays Toby's suspicious doctor / father figure


In other new, my daughter and I reached the 170 (!!!) episode of Japanese anime "Bleach". I think I have never seen so many episodes of anything.

Oh, goodie. I loved Ichigo's fight with Byakuya and have been waiting for it to get exciting again. I watch it in the background while I'm on the internet. Multi-tasking.

OOOOOOOOO! Byakuya is my biggest crush in Bleach (and I have many). I love his bankai (gosh, this sounds a bit dubious?). Pink Cherry Petals - how awesome is that? The fight between him and Ichigo was awesome.

[mnemo-syne.livejournal.com]

Oh really, the biggest? Heh, I didn't know that. I think he's interesting. Nobody's come close to threatening Ichigo's spot as my favorite, but I still have a lot more to watch. Your daughter's fave, Hitsugaya, is pretty cool too. =D He's smart and I like that a lot. Yoruichi is total girlcrush material.

I lurve Ichigo but he is that strange "he always wins" type of character that I never truly fall in love with. I need something more flawed, like Buyakya or Zaraki or even Ishida. There are some of the characters on the Hollow side (they will appear in the Hueco Mundo arc) that I adore too.

But Ichigo has one of the most impressive bankai states, it must be said.

My daughter's crush on Hitsugaya is so huge it is not even funny. I am not allowed to like him anymore, he is all hers. :D

Yoruichi is total girlcrush material.

Absolutely.

I still laugh at how Ichigo's zanpakto is so HUGE. That's just so teenage boy. I love how he fights so hard. And tells people to shut up when they blather. I like characters that take on more than they should.

I reaaaally want to meet the Hollow characters! Especially Grimmjow. People seem to dig him a lot.

Oh that is so cute! Okay, then I won't like him either. :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I fess - Grimmjow (who would not like a real bad boy!) is one of my crushes too. And Ulquiorra (gosh I didn't misspell his name, I must be sad).

Oh that is so cute! Okay, then I won't like him either. :D

Hee! I'll tell her.

[mnemo-syne.livejournal.com]

Yes, Ulquiorra too! I see lots of cool icons of those two. I usually am a bit partial to bad boys. :D Can't wait till this Bount thing is over. So annoying.

170 is a LOT of episodes to have watched! Even I am only up to 160-something in Prince of Tennis, which is the most of anything for me too.

Have you ever watched the j-drama Tiger and Dragon? I'm watching it now and it's very good.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

The green eyes and no-nonsense attitude - I love you, Ulquiorra. I will not get into more spoilery reasons for why I like him. :D

We just started "The New Captain Shusuke Amagai" filler arc, it is not as bad as Bountou. At least we got to see all the captains again. :D

I haven't seen "Tiger and Dragon", but I have heard many good things. I must try it!
