A whole bunch of different things.

My daughter's sleep-over party extravaganza went much better and easier than I expected. Girls did sleep quite a bit of their sleep-over time (8 hours !!!! Weee!) and the rest of time they were happy without big fall outs or any other drama. May be I can do this again. :D

London trip I am off to London tomorrow. About 2 months ago we applied for Russian citizenship for my daughter and this was successful. Now I need to apply for a Russian passport for her (as in a piece of paper sense). Hopefully this should not take too long. But still Russian embassy in London is on of the most unfriendly places that have ever existed and it's officers like to shout at you unduly. Plus they like to change their rules and make many difficulties for the applicants. I will be glad when it is over.

But because this time I am going on my own and hopefully should have some time to enjoy London.. It would be fantastic if you could recommend some interesting places in London to visit?

Fannish bunch of things: Supernatural and La Femme Nikita

Supernatural finale was great, much better then I expected. . So many threads of the story were wrapped up very nicely and some new threads were opened. Heart-broken Dean kissing a dark demon lady was uber-hot (as syliasyliasylia says). I don't even think for a minute that Dean is going to go to Hell in one year's time as he promised in exchange for Sam's life. Deal with demon ladies or no deal I am sure the boys will find their way out of this. What came very unexpectedly in the last episode and what somehow made Dean much dearer to me is that he seems to have a very low self-esteem and sense self-worth. Such an awesome, self-sufficient guy and somehow low self-worth!! I want to give him a hug!
Yes, it was a fabulous end of the season with some very nice special effects. My wish list for the next season – Please, please, please dear creators, can you write some interesting romantic interests for Winchester brothers? Pretty please again..

La Femme Nikita This is absolutely marvellous! I started watching it from miss_dian's recommendation and – OMPH! SQUEEE! Why haven't I watched this before????? I really like it. It absolutely deserves it's own post with pictures but for now I am just going to squee some more for a bit. Both Nikita and her handler Michael are very cool and amazingly attractive and they are already prepared for a passionate forbidden love story. He was kissing her hand in the episode 4 !!! And Roy Dupius who is playing Michael has some very sweet accent! I just have read that he was born in Canada. Is this how Canadian accent sounds?? I am moving to Canada ASAP!

Dorama land: This is where I am going to eat my hat. :D I watched some more of "Proposal Daisakusen" and "Sapuri" and I am really liking them both.

Sapuri
In the episode 2 we see more of the inner-world of both Minami and Ishida Yuya and I am starting to like both of these so different individuals. Ishida Yuya seems to have that child-like wonder in him that is very endearing. Also there is something in the tone of the drama that is reminding me of "Anego", it is light and deep at the same time. But feel I am such an old lady because I can't stop thinking that Kame needs a haircut and a big roast dinner. Desperately.

Proposal Daisakusen Second and third episodes were lovely. My eyes went misty a couple of times, especially in the second episode. The story with coffee milk was cute, sweet and wonderful. I think I like the main message of this drama – our destiny isn't ruled by one or two important events but it is built day by day in a chain of daily insignificant occurrences. But again! I am finally turning into an old lady for sure ** weeps ** because I think Yamapi needs a haircut too! Or may be he needs to dye his hair as scottishlass suggested. But something is not quite right. ** sigh **

Mawang I can't wait for the new episodes to be subtitled. I scouted in the soompi forums and spoilers are driving me crazy!!


Video of Oh Seung Ha and Seo Hae In. It is so fluffy, sweet and beautiful:

This scene in the church KILLS me. I want to understand what they are saying. The way Hae In hugs Seung Ha from behind and he takes her hands in his and pulls them away even if this is obviously killing him? Oh, my poor heart!!!! This is so beautfil and passionate and heart-wrenching at the same time! And then he walks away steadily because she is watching but collapses outside!!!!!!

Glad the party went okay!!! ;)

La Femme Nikita! I was so hooked on that series... I became a total fan after watching season 2 last episodes... Bruce Payne makes a guest star in three episodes and the triangle between Nikita, his character and Michael is the best thing ever! Love the story!
However I stopped watching around end of season 4 or beginning of 5...

LFN was made in Canada, and most of the cast is Canadian. The actor who plays Michael, Roy Dupuis, used to live in Quebec. I love that show.

Have fun in London. I am so jealous. It's been too long since I've been.

[juprujac.livejournal.com]

Ahhh Supernatural! I loved the final, and especially Dean. Jensen did a very good job, he just looked so tired and sad and lost, it was beautiful. I really liked that the last scene was so optimistic, compared with the rest of the episode, it’s like they are saying, we are not over yet.

La Femme Nikita This is absolutely marvellous!
Oh, I haven’t thought about this show in a while. Heee! Keep telling what you think as you go along.

*Hugs*

Good luck at the embassy.

I am deeply saddened by the lack of new subbed Mawang episodes! This will be a lesson to me about watching things that haven't finished, I think!

[miss-dian.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! OMG. I love the pics you posted of Mawang, especially the last one. More people should write about it in LJ. I cannot watch it yet 'cause I cannot download and of course I have to wait patiently till the whole eps re finished and the official version is released *sigh*

And yay! I am so glad you're liking La Femme Nikita! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I was CRAZY about it during high school and uni. I was obsessed, LOL. I loved the chemistry between Nikita and Michael. And Michael. Guuuuuh. Roy Dupuis is pretty in his own way, isn't he? I thought he was so enigmatic on screen, though he was such a minimalist. I have a friend living in the US but got the chance to attend one of his "meet & greet" events in Canada. It was actually for a charity event 'cause Roy supports the MIRA foundation if I'm not mistaken (raises cash to support blind dogs). And Roy also supports charity organisations behind the preservation of rivers in Canada (I think) *sigh* I actually know quite a bit about Roy's "personal" side (from what the media tells us anyway!) and one of the things I appreciate about him is that he still seems very grounded and not affected by the fame etc. Same with Peta Wilson (the actress playing Nikita). So, again, I was very much into LFN a few years back, hence my knowledge on the actors/actress and the series itself. I hope you will continue to like it!!! ^^

So glad you are liking Sapuri too!!! Yay! Not everyone likes it, and for different reasons too, but it was good fun for me, despite Kame being too skinny and all, LOL :D

Good luck for your London trip. As they say in Sapuri, Enjoy, tanoshii ne! LOL ^^

Hooray for the sleepover success!

I really agree in regards to Supernatural. Some romance that doesn't end in death and tragedy would be nice. ;)
I also agree that the deal Dean made will be resolved before the year is through. Probably in an angsty way with good lighting and music, but it will be resolved. Hee.

I think that what I liked most about the season final was that the boys got help. Granted my Deadwood love makes me like Bobby even more, but it was just great to see that the Winchesters are not as alone as they sometimes think. Huzzah for team work I guess!

And La Femme Nikita! Doomed, angsty love there. It's also the show that made me afraid of the name Madeline. *g*

I knew the party would be a success! And I wish you luck coping with the embassy martinets, and I hope you have lots of time left to enjoy the city.

[kiaforrest.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you survived your daughter's sleepover!

Missing time to sit and visit with your LJ, but was reading some of the DRWho commentary tonight -- I finally got to see all of season 1 - a few of season 2. Totally LOVED Nine. Ten is ... OK, but not as endearing to me.

I'm sorry! I somehow compeltely missed this post! I'm glad your daughter's sleep over and the London trip went well. I'm really glad you're enjoying ProDai much more now. I would love to check out Sapuri but I need to finish another Kame drama, Tatta Hitotsu No Koi first. :) AHHH @ Manwang caps! Gorgeous! I can't wait to start this as well. *oogles at Ji-Hoon* :)
