A test that made me happy

I have completed the "blunt personality test" (taken from lage_nom_ai, Here) with the very surprising results.! I am "Almost perfect", and from the more serious explanation of the test, I am "Idealist" (Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving). "Thoughtful and considerate", "Intuitive about people", "Do not like to conflict", "Flexible and laid-back", "Perfectionists with high standards". :D

Battlestar Galactica
I am still in a day-dream state after "Unfinished Business" episode, you know, when you are thinking about someting dosing off to sleep three days in a row?

House
After conversation with umeedmerchant I have started watching second season of "House". Hugh Laurie is as entertaining as ever, and I am so much drawn to articulate sharp genius type in RL as well as in Fantasy Life. I can just stare at the screen for hours and listen to Dr. House’s snarky remarks. Also I absolutely unexpectedly like Dr. Chase very much this season too. And my dearest likes "House"; this is an additional plus!!!

Love Contract
I am plodding through this Taiwanese drama, but I am getting increasingly frustrated with the pointlessness and un-interestedness of almost all of the secondary characters. And there seems to be much of the screen time devoted to them. Some scenes I think are meant to be funny or evoke a feeling, but I just don’t seem to get any flicker of it. Even more, many "funny" scenes are plain disgusting in a manner of some teenage comedies. (I apologise very much to anyone who does like teenage comedies, but I am so well passed that stage in life that it seems that I want to wash my eyeballs after seeing even some of the trailers, this is just me!).

"Love and Honor" (Bushi ni Ichibun); Takuya Kimura
I am still so happy about the fact that as catdecember posted (Here), "Love and Honor" (Bushi ni Ichibun) beat "Casino Royale" on the first weekend gross in Tokyo. (It doesn’t mean I don’t like “Casino Royale”, am just happy for "Love and Honour")

I have huge expectations for "Bushi ni Ichibun", directed by Yôji Yamada. I have seen one of his films, "Twilight Samurai", beautiful and unusual romance with the most gentle, philosophical and heroic male protagonist. I hope for something similar (and with inimitable Takuya Kimura as additional plus)

To celebrate this, I posted some pictures of Takuya in dorama_chat

This is a preview (Especially for koalathebear :D ):





Good weekend, everyone!!!

Yay for you, Ms. Almost Perfect!

I'm not heartbroken when I miss an episode of 'House,' but I do enjoy it a great deal. I've always liked Chase, but Foreman also grew on me in the second season! (Though I started disliking Wilson...).

Gah. Shinkai. He is one of my beloved tv crushes :D I know Good Luck! is never up there in anyone's list of favourites for jdoramas, but I still love it. Shinkai, Ogawa, food - and the fact that they love their jobs so much. It's very inspirational :D Thanks for sharing the image even though I know how you feel about his hairdo in GL ;)

I've red the introduction to the test, and it's so funny, I must do it --even though it will tell me I'm "like a hyperactive kangaroo on crack" (this sentence made me laugh too much)...let's try, I'll let you know :)
I think House is one of the best characters tv shows have offered us during last years, I can't wait to finish season 1!
