alexandralMy huge apologies! It always happens to me that after a LJ break I find myself a little slow to get into the habit of posting and commenting again. However, I must start posting regularly again, because my head is full of unexpressed thoughts and opinions (to the point of bursting), hence I have many many fragmented things to say:
1.“Black Dagger Brotherhood” book series (by J.R Ward): I am still obsessed, mostly with the relationship between Qhuinn and Blay . The series have many interesting characters and I am in love with at least 70% of them but Blay and Qhuinn are my favourites. If someone told me a month ago that I will be obsessing over a relationship between two men so much, I would have not believed it. But I guess relationships between two best friends growing into something romantic have always been my thing. I also like vampire fiction. Plus I adore "opposites attract" cliche , and besides, I do love characters with major parental issues and self-destructive behaviour (like Qhuinn) . As a rule, I also adore true-to-the-bone nice guys like Blay.
And the fact that one of the pair (Qhuinn) is totally in denial about the nature of their relationship makes it all even better. To add, there is a genuine obstacle in the way, which is always a huge plus for me (so often romantic pairing obstacles are just invented willy-nilly), as coming out is not an easy thing to do, especially for someone in a rigid “vampire aristocracy” society. Still – I need to find something to move on to, otherwise I will spontaneously combust. The new book in the series is out in April/May 2011- obsessing for 8 months is not healthy!
2.Asian drama recs request: I need to move on to something nice and obsessive-feelings inducing. Ignoring the “Bad Guy” ending disaster, I would love some new Asian drama recommendations. ** puppy eyes ** What is making you obsessed nowdays, ladies and gentlemen?????? Please recommend? I need it!
3.Swimming: I am getting old and my bones are achy, it is true, but I have started swimming!!! Leeds Uni have opened a new shiny swimming pool right next to us and I have been swimming few times already! This is going to be a good addition to my weekly ice-skating sessions. The swimming pool:
4.Broadband Support terror: But the longer I live, the clearer I realise that I do not like talking to Broadband Support People. I get annoyed terribly every time I have to talk to them (is it their patronizing tone? Is it their total lack of any knowledge of what they are supposed to be supporting? ) Our home Broadband was down yesterday, both the Modem and the Wireless Router. I have spent 2 hours on the phone, the time that I am never going to get back, talking to various people... As the result of 2 HOURS OF MY TIME: by 22.00 the modem was fixed but the Router was still not working. At the end, I got too annoyed for words, Googled the Router myself and fixed it. There are three professions in this world that I dislike intensely:
- Parking wardens
- Broadband support
** Disclaimer: I am not really serious, I am sure there are plenty of good folks in these jobs. In fact, one of the guys I spoke to yesterday (the one that fixed the modem) was good.
5.Supernatural season 5 : I am breezing through this show. I am deep in the season 5 now and I find myself liking it. Well, one has to admit that “Supernatural” has a big problem with description of women, as in “Women? Who needs women? What women? Do they even exist? They all are demons!” sense, but still, even though the season 4 was quite useless the season 5 is rather very good so far! Apocalypse! Lucifer walks the Earth! Castiel is great! I wanna see Michael too!
6.True Blood 5.08 - more Eric last week! YUM YUM YUM.
7.I am in a huge Bob Marley moment. I have always loved his music and I periodically go through Bob Marley periods. My favourite song of the moment is “Redemption Song”. Just love it, can’t get enough of "Old pirates, yes they rob I, Sold I to the merchant ships" and "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery". "Burnin’ and Lootin’" and "No woman , no cry" have been my absolute favourites before, but it is time for "Redemption Song". :

Got caught up with 'Warehouse 13' too while I was at it. WH13 and White Collar are my 'in' shows atm. :)

Otherwise I can't say.

Date: 2010-08-14 06:59 pm (UTC)Re: broadband support. I feel your pain! I've had wonky connection for days and then a few days ago, it totally stopped working. I called to ask if they had any problems on the line and they said no. They even did their tests and all and everything seemed to be working (for them. I couldn't connect to the Net). I checked and re-checked and even though I was fairly sure there was nothing wrong on MY end, I ended up buying new router because they INSISTED everything was working and I started doubting myself (after all I'm NOT an expert). Turns out, they HAVE problems on the line (and maaaaaany users have had problems in my area) and it took only oh IDK 10 phone calls to have them admit that they do, indeed, are responsible for this fuckery. Thing is, no one is going to refund me money for the new router. >_> Stupid useless broadband support! I'm still raging.
Re: Bad guy. OMG! It was ALL over the place, wasn't it? The last 2 eps were...omg! I can't even. So many plot holes. Overall, I liked the drama and I don't regret watching it, but oh my god! I wish the writers hadn't lost touch with reality. LOL If I switch my brain off completely I can buy the ending, flaws and all, I'm just curious, what of those care packages? WHEN DID HE SEND THEM? When he was bleeding to death? Did he prepare them BEFORE the omg-my-original-plan-needs-adjustments-I-need-to-push-Madam-Shin-to-attempt-my-murder-so-I-can-have-some-sort-of-justice-now was set into motion? Did his partner in crime send them? I was so BAFFLED! XD By God, why couldn't they do it right?
Dude, watch Sherlock! BBC rocks. It's awesome (except ep 2 which was racefaily like WHOA! You can totally skip it even if you're going to miss a few epic John/Sherlock moments). I'm currently having fun with Life is beautiful. Mind you, it's flawed, there are a few storylines that I don't like and dammit they're at the beginning, but I'm SO in love with Kyung-soo/Tae-sub (OMG first kdrama gay storyline which is done sensitively and in a touching way. FTW! The drama is worth watching, if only for these two) and for 2 more couples. Seriously, KS/TS always put a smile on my face. Then agian, it's a family drama so hmm, it might not be your cup of tea?
