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.

Regarding your addiction to Korean dramas. I'm getting increasingly worried. Have you thought about joining "Korean Dramas Anonymous". ;)

ha-ha. I promise to write about other things too. For example -I watched "Marley and me". TWICE (it just happened). Many tears were shed.

More seriously, since you're always open to new things, how about learning Korean?

I have been looking for Korean courses, but I couldn't find any that could have been convenient. Plus I have few other ideas - I am contemplating doing Masters degree next year. :D

I hope that you know that what I said had nothing at all to do with what you write. I just wanted to tease you a little about your intention to watch 50 episodes of a drama. In Korean. Shortly after you mentioned that you've seen 170 episodes of Japanese anime. :)

I've stopped being surprised about your plans. :) A Master's Degree in what field? Computer Sciences? Or is that an expression about something in general (I'm not very familiar with the specific English ways to acquire knowledge).

Japanese anime doesn't really count :D - this is something I watch together with my daughter. I am trying to give her some expose to different cultures and also I think this is can make her less adverse to watching anything with subs . SO many people here are "afraid" of subs.

Yes, I am thinking of doing Masters in Computers. It is either this or I'll try to go working full-time to pay-off the morgage quickly.

You mean you only watched it for educational purposes? Well, okay then. ;D

Whatever you choose, good luck. :)
