Oh My K-Drama

I have spent the past two days finding out just why the K-Drama world is so obsessed about. But why they gotta be so extra, though? I mean, one flyer makes its way through the wind and lands right on her face and the next thing you know, super sexy man is has caught her in a super sexy dip like she would've died otherwise. How you gon' let a piece of paper take you down? If you were a boxer, you'd be paperweight instead of featherweight. My complaints aside of the over theatricality of it all, I do admit it's one of my favorite things about it. If they pulled the same kind of cheesiness in an American show, it would be a Lifetime or hallmark movie, and I would write it off completely. But with Korean dramas, I just find it endearing.

My first experience with it was with Oh My Venus. It was rated one of the more popular shows from 2015 and, though I was skeptical about it at first, I was enthralled all the way through. I even skipped my last two classes to finish up the sixteen episode season and I am regretting it because I'me completely shattered that it is over now (if there is anyone in the OMV sphere reading this, please make plans for season two with the babies). I mean, my ass was cringing when she had her waist trainer-sorry, corset- ripped from her by sexy John Kim; my toes were curling on episode five when they started Jujitsu; I was having heart palpitations when crazy murderous Choi fucked up my man (one of the reasons I stray from dramas in its entirety is because of the anxiety I have with evil characters like that; like, with Mojo Jojo, I knew that though he would be messing stuff up, he would still lose come the end of the episode); my ass was rejoicing when for a second miracle, Mr. Coach was able to walk again; I was then balling and super excited when he proposed (and BTW was that not the smoothest and most original proposals you have ever seen? I mean, DAMMMNNN, I want a scarf); I was lol-ing at Ma'am's historical drama scene and her karaoke; and I was so goddamn pleased at the ending.

Anyway, to make it short, if you're going to watch K-Dramas, just mentally prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster. Now if you will excuse me, I must stop my updates to go watch some more. And remember to keep on FIGHTING!

Sidenote: I was so warped up in the Venus world that I forgot it wasn't my first, but second K-Drama, the first being Noble, My Love, also starring Hygun from OMV and also an equally good show.

That 70s Band

Oh, chocolate. I remember when they first invented it. Sweet, sweet chocolate. I always hated it! Do you remember 1975? Great year, huh? There was the Watergate Scandal (oh, you bad boy Nixon). It was the year Spanish dictator Francisco Franco dies. Iron Maiden is formed (to all the fans). What a great time in our history. Just kidding, I really wouldn't know; I googled all this shit because, hell, I wasn't born until 20 years later. But I'm not just talking about 1975. No homie, I'm talkin' about The 1975. You know, the one with a singer and a guitar and a drum set. A more recent one. Is that jogging your memory? "Noooiicceeee"-every college frat douche. I'm sorry to all the frat dudes, that was uncalled for. But the it's kind of dark and the backspace button on my laptop is just too far for my sausage fingers. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. If ever you feel like you want to wallow in your pit of despair, whether you have been...

Tribute

Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them are behind the lens, rewriting scripts, dating Gywenyth Paltrow. But all heroes nonetheless. So this is a shoutout to the greatest duo since Hall & Oates;  Sonny and Cher; Dre and Snoop: Riri and Drake: Brad Falchuck and Ryan Murphy.  These are magnanimous times as these two Saints have blessed us with Glee and then American Horror Story and now Scream Queens. Where we not all there singing along to "Don't Stop Believing" in '09? Where we not more than pleasantly surprised with Asylum's "The Name Game"? Or laughing at disbelief at a show that held a candle light vigil for a fallen frat member to the lulling rhymes of Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony's "Crossroads"? They have introduced us to the greatest characters in tv history, ones we lo pave to hate, others we hate to love, and everyone in between. We were blessed with the Virgin Mary in Sara Paulson. We have been anointed with the Holy Spirit by Evan Pet...

LP-Another Year in Freundschaft

~A bit of a late post to the homie, Em.~ The first time I ever really met you was during a study session in high school. From the get-go I knew you were gonna be the shit because all you were talking about was food, listing all these snacks and cookies for God-knows what reason (But do we ever really need a reason to bask over the deliciousness of processed junk food? I think not). And then Mr. G was halfway into his lecture and wham--(wake me up before you go-go)--you break through the silence with an excited gasp and said, very loudly, "Double stuffed oreos!". I and a few sane-minded individuals were looking around like, "This bitch cray. She gon' interrupt the teacher who was talkin' bout European monarchs and assassinations and equally depressing things (but to be fair, European history in a nutshell is just depressing period) to mention the name of some goddamn cookies that she didn't put on her list?!" But the rest of the class just shook it off ...
