Missing my bed already

This morning I woke up diagonally across my super comfy double bed in the bedroom that I adore. Tonight, I am going to sleep in a relatively tiny single bed in a room that is literally filled to the brim with other peoples clothes. Oh the joys of being a costume designer away from home. Although at least I have a real bed and a host who seems like she will take very good care of us. Opening your home to three complete strangers for a month and a half is a very brave and generous thing to do.

I have a really horrible feeling that I have forgotten something absolutely essential. I don't think I have, I went through everything A LOT, and yet I can't shake the feeling. I think it is just because I am in sole responsibility, I can't blame any fuck ups on anyone but myself. Unless of course they are someone else's fault.

I strongly dislike driving in cities. I really enjoy driving most of the time, but city driving is the most nerve wracking thing, especially somewhere you aren't familiar with.

So my sister and her fiance are taking over my room back home this week. I gave them a strict no sex rule. I think Jo was just grateful to get the opportunity to sleep in a proper bed that she went along with it not even looking at Tim's expression. If he gets his willy out in my bed I'll chop it off. On the plus side, it means that my mum will have cleaned my room for them, which means I get to come home to a nice clean bedroom. I'm going to do a massive sort out and clean when this shoot has finished, and have a pretty room again. Especially now I have a massive candle. I might even start putting the cushions on my bed again.

Right, should probably get to sleep seeing as I have a long night shoot ahead of me tomorrow, followed by a relocation.

Devil Beside You

I finally finished it! I said that I wanted to watch the last episode of this series before I go, and seeing as I go tomorrow, this evening was really my last chance.

Qi Yue is trying to confess her feelings to her crush, Yuan Yi, but instead, her love letter is accidentally recieved by the school devil, Ahmon. Even as her relationship with Yuan Yi starts to blossom, Ahmon is persistent chasing after Qi Yue, which is further exasperated when their parents start dating. Obviously, its an Asian drama and they like to teach that if you hassle a girl she will love you, and so Qi Yue falls for Ahmon and the rest of the series is pretty much about the two of them trying to keep their relationship a secret.

I made this bright red glove so no one can tell when we are holding hands - Ahmon, not the smartest tool in the shed

Firstly, I need to comment on how terrible the sound was in this drama. It wasn't just quiet or grainy, hinting at a bad copy, but the whole sound mix was completely off, literally changing every time the camera angle changed, and not even subtly. Its a shame, because it made the whole thing seem a lot less professional than it would have done otherwise.

Despite this, it was a good series. Devil Beside You had a really strong start; it was original and exciting, and the plot moved quickly ... for the first few episodes that is. When so much happens within the first couple of episodes, there isn't really much to keep the pace going. Ahmon was all over her at the start, and then I think they didn't do much more than brood around for the rest of the series,although they did finally show a bit more improvement for the last episode. Having said that, despite the slow middle, it was still funny and enticing, and I especially liked the problems that Ahrang the little brother caused, even if he have a complete personality change half way through. Also, Ahmon was really hot, so that helped the enjoyment factor.

I got a bit fed up of Qi Yue's OTT expressions, although I loved the parents, who were over the top pretty much all the time. I also liked the side story of Yuan Yi and Qi Yue's best friend, even if I do find it odd that she chased after him literally right after Qi Yue dumped him and he went a little psycho on her... but you know, each to their own. I wish I knew what happened to Qi Yue's other friend, though, as she seemed to just vanish.

The opening titles sum up the series really well, and I quite like the song.

So, in general, it was a really good, funny and not too sickly sweet drama, I just wish that the spontaneity of the first few episodes had stuck through the rest of the series. Also, I didn't cry.

Next up is Love Rain. This is a pretty new Korean drama, with Jang Geun Suk, the guy in all the Korean dramas, and YoonA, who is a member of the Kpop band SNSD or Girl's Generation. I've been hearing a lot about this drama over the past couple of months, and even seen a fair few cuts on YouTube (namely the fountain kiss scene ... it was hard to avoid.) Don't know when I'll get a chance to watch it though.

Hmm, these posts always take so much longer than you expect. Who needs sleep, right?

Picture of you

Some people make my job so easy ... others do not.

I thought I was done. I'd replenished and sorted out my kit, and everything was packed away ready to go (well, apart from my own clothes and effects). Then I get a phone call. Its just sods law I guess, fate trying to wind me up. WELL IT'S WORKING.

Sigh. I understand it, people are busy, but still. I thought I was on top of all this and now I don't know anymore.

On the plus side, people have been sending  me lots of photos of clothes scattered on their beds. I'd be flattered but I have a sneaking suspicion its so that I can do my job or something.

No Devil Beside You post because I once again have just not had the hour it would take to watch it to spare. I really want to finish this series before I go as well. Sigh.

Beautiful You

No Devil Beside You tonight. Sadface. It's too late and I have too much to do in the morning.

I have decided I want to be pretty much ready to go by the time I go to sleep tomorrow. All my work finished and all my personal effects for the next 6 weeks packed up. This way, I can spend all of Saturday day time tidying up. I really need to do a proper tidy up and sort out in my room ... and my workroom so I can move it downstairs. I was promised my new workroom for straight after the wedding grumble grumble. Then Sunday I can obsessively check, unpack and repack everything until I have to travel down.

That's all you get today. To make it more worthwhile, here's a picture.





Spot the Girl!

It's from the SM version of Hana Kimi, To the Beautiful You. It's got MinHo from SHINee as Korean Sano, and Sulli from f(x) as Korean Mizuki. I think its just started airing but I'm going to wait until the season's finished

Burn it up

This evening, I was going to post my review of Devil Beside You. That isn't going to happen anymore.

You see, I spent my whole evening altering a document so that it suited me, only to complete my self set task moments before a new version was sent out, thus rendering all my hours of hard work pointless. I had two choices. Start again, or fuck it and watch Asian drama instead. I chose the drama.

However, by this point, my laptop had decided to do that weird mouse thing again where it freezes and just selects everything continuously. More often than not, this happens when my mouse is over the new tab button, resulting in hundreds of new tabs that I cannot cancel or close. I decided to turn my laptop off in the hope this would rectify the problem.

This was nearly two hours ago. Effing laptop is still re-fucking-starting. After it finally does start up, I have a feeling that after closing a gazillion new tabs I'm not going to have the energy to finish Devil Beside You and post about it, so maybe tomorrow, but in the mean time, you get this complain-y post about how useless my laptop is.

Super(glue)star

I has just occurred to me that this is the only medium I have left in which I can post about pretty much anything and no one I know will judge me for it.

That place used to be twitter, but now too many I people I work with follow me, and thus I have to censor myself.

For example, today I was about to tweet about how I just use super glue instead of use thread now, and then I thought that not only the producers but also the artists wearing the clothes I have super glued rather than sewn would be able to read my unprofessional confession. So I have to put it here instead.

In other but unrelated news, I hear putting superglue on cotton wool sets it on fire ... *gets super glue and cotton wool*

I have decided my mouth is like the earth, my teeth are tectonic plates. I am earthquaking.

Yeah OK, it's not a perfect metaphor, but you get the drift. My wisdom teeth are apparently 'moving around a bit', causing discomfort. Tectonic plates move around a bit, causing destruction. Same thing.

Close Your Mouth

All of today I have had a dull ache in the right hand side of my jaw. This evening, it has turned into a swollen sort of pain, and now I can't open my mouth. Great.

It sucks when you don't eat all day and then when you finally do sit down to your favourite meal, you physically can't open your mouth to eat it, and then every mouthful is agony. I just tried to brush my teeth, which didn't so much result in clean teeth as it did in a mouthful of bloody toothpaste.It was a little scary.

I don't know what it is, wisdom teeth coming through, maybe? An infection? Whatever, I do not have time for this shit right now. I have to much to do, too many things to worry about without having to worry about myself. Things are being thurst on me last minute that I have never heard anything about until now. I have to make a pair of cat ears. How the hell do you make cat ears that don't look like complete crap?

Sorry, I'm just feeling very sorry for myself right now, its pathetic. It would just be nice for something to go right for a change.

*slaps face* ..... *winces*

Right, I think I'll watch an episode of Devil Beside You to calm myself down. I'm so close to the end and yet I just can't seem to make the time anymore. Sigh.

Hurts

I just clicked on the blogger quick link on FireFox new tab to bring me here, but it took me to Amazon, so that was weird. Amazon isn't even in my quick links, so I literally have no idea why that happened.

I hate food. I really wish eating wasn't so necessary. Recently it keeps making my tummy cramp, which while not painful, isn't very pleasant. And the last thing that you want right after you've been taken out for an expensive meal is regret that you ate anything because you feel so uncomfortable.

Maybe I'm doing a Miffy and becoming allergic to everything.

Maybe I should stop starving myself for a day or two and then going on a binge.

Like a Dream

I googled google.

I wanted the internet to implode or something. It didn't. Google just came up with Google.

I'm kind of glad I didn't implode the interwebs now that I think about it. Pretty much the point of my entire existence would be no more.

I like how when you type into google 'How do I g' it suggests 'How do I google something'. I think trolls are abound.

'How do I' completes with 'get you alone'. One, stalker. Two, you are talking to a computer screen like its a real person. Dumbass.

Oh wait.

Happy Together

Apparently my mother has been reading this blog ... so thats weird.

It's just occurred to me that its August. Normally, I'd be doing BEDA now. Instead I'm doing BED2012, although recently none to regularily. It sounds pathetic, but I just don't have the energy.

We did some reminiscing this evening. I can't believe that Zante was 6 years ago. We've all changed so much and so much has changed around us, and yet it doesn't seem like it should be that different. Back then, we were 6 single girls going away to spend time together before we split ways to head to uni and work. Now, 2 are married and settled, another engaged and settling ... somehow, we've turned into grown ups (well at least those three have, the other three not so much). It's just sad to think we'll never get to go on a girly holiday again.

Maximum

It's midnight, and I may have already been in bed for a good 45 mins.

Shopping is shattering. Especially when you are shopping for other people, while still trying to keep an eye out for yourself. I don't even want to figure out how much I have spent today, even if (hopefully) the majority of it wasn't my money.


I brought a lot of navy stuff. I wish I had the confidence to buy brighter colours.

We did get a Starbucks and afternoon tea in Marks though.

YOUR EYES

Just watched the London 2012 Olympic Closing ceremony.

Once again, the rest of the world are going to think we are a bunch of lunatics. Sure, the Only Fools and Horses homage was hilarious, but surely the rest of the world will just WTF at Batman and Robin getting out of a half blown up car. I know that we are supposed to be famous for it, but I think we might have come across a lot more punky than we actually are.

At one point, there was a man on a tight rope, and when he got to the end and shook the hand of a mannequin, it burst into flame. I have no idea what that was about.

The Queen wasn't there. Just Prince Henry of Wales, whoever that is. He looked a lot like Harry. We think someone had told the Queen that Queen would be performing centre stage with Jessie J in the last quarter, and she got confused.

The fireworks scare the crap out of me, especially when I think about all those athletes stuck in the centre of the stadium right below them. They know not of the danger they are in.

YOUR EYES! PROTECT YOUR EYES!

Just nabbed off Google.

Dancing in the Rain

Went to see Dirty Dancing at the theatre this evening. It was really good, but a a few things to note.

1) Why throw in all the segregation stuff? I get that it was a huge thing at the time in which the production was set, but it is a stage recreation of a film, in which it was never mentioned. It just seemed out of the blue and slowed down the plot somewhat.

2) Some of the actors voices annoyed me. Namely Johnny. I'm not sure if it was just the accent, but he just didn't sound right. To be fair, it may just be because he isn't Patrick Swayze, but as my mother pointed out, the new guy probably looks better right now.

3) Someone needs to oil the moving stage.

4) I have never heard an audience cheer like that for a half naked hot man putting his clothes on. Seriously, bigger cheers than when he was taking them off.

5) About a quarter of the audience gave a standing ovation for the last number. We were in that quarter. I can understand why the stalls didn't, because they couldn't see that we had, but the other half of the circle must just have been a load of miserable sods.

It was awesome though.

I Talk to the Rain

Yeah, I didn't post yesterday. I didn't want to. I don't want to today either, but I feel guilty, so here we are.

Everything has gone crazy. I went to the cinema this evening, and came out to a load of emails, facebook messages and missed calls. So it was straight back to work. Maybe this is why I liked making the dresses so much, only one person to deal with to rather than a whole cast and crew. Also, more sensible business hours.

I tidied my room a little. I figured tidy room = tidy mind. I think I need to tidy more.

I feel like this sounds like a complain-y post. It's not. It's good to be busy.

Oh, we saw Ted. It was pretty good. I liked Frank Jr's disappearing cup.

Outsider

I decided to watch Dr Horrible at stupid o clock this morning, and as a result, throughout the entirety of today I couldn't get the songs out of my head.

Things have been stirring recently, so I'm really hoping a new one is going to come out ... although I don't know why Felicia Day has been around seeing as they killed Penny ... hmmmm conspiracy?

I'm going to stop this post here before I start posting lyrics. My fingers are itching to do it ... my brain maintains the same musical score, on repeat.

PS - Just heard SuJu's new song, SPY. The teaser made it sound so much more ... not a piss take.

Dancing Floor

Here's a story of a boy (who grew up lost and lonely, thinking love was fairytale and trouble was made only for me. (ten points if you get this reference)).

All through the week, the boy had spent every available evening fixing a girl's car. He arrived at her house at 11 am on the Saturday morning, and worked almost solidly until 7 pm, until the car was healthy and well again. During this time, the girl had heard that one of her friends had been given a free box of doughnuts, and was very keen on test driving the car to the friends house to help her eat them.

The girl promised the boy that in return for the work that he had done, she would treat him to dinner. So they went to the friends house, and while the girl and the friend ate chili heatwave Doritos and babybel, the boy cooked the dinner. They ate the dinner on the floor and then ate a load of doughnuts, until they couldn't eat anymore.

That was when the girl and her friend decided to teach the boy how to dance. A few hours later, the boy had mastered the basic steps to 5,6,7,8! including dancing to the whole song ... twice.

Then the boy got home and realised what had happened, so he probably had to shave or lift weights or something to restore his sense of masculinity.

The end.

My problem at the moment is when it comes to writing my post, I find I have nothing to say, hence the edited posts of the last few days.

Apparently, I have a lot of page views from Russia. Like a lot. Like over 100 more this week than the UK, which is 90 more than the US.

Heartquake

Last month, just short of 1300 people visited this blog. That's ridiculous.

I'm too tired to blog right now. Maybe I'll do it all in the edit tomorrow ... again

<3 class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">br
="br" x="x">
EDIT:

Okay, what the crap is going on with my less than threes? I swear they aren't like that when I publish the post (even if my eyes are closed). Maybe I have to come up with a new signature that blogger doesn't rape with letters and punctuation.

Last full day at the office. When I was 16, the two week stretch seemed like forever. Now, it seems to fly by. Maybe its because I've got things to do now, or have just got used to spending hours on end doing nothing. To be fair, my day is pretty broken up.

Get in (9.15)
Read paper (9.20 - 10.30)
Internet (10.30 - 1)
Lunch (1 -2.15)
Internet (2.15 - 4.30)
Spider Solitaire (4.30 - 5.30)
Go home (5.30)

I'm not quite sure why I wanted to share that with you.

So, this weekend, while I wait for a sum of money to be transferred into my bank account, I might have a Fast and Furious marathon. I also want to watch House of Flying Daggers. However, I know I am far more likely to just watch Devil Beside You. It started off really well, getting to a stage in the first episode that it normally takes half a series to get to. Now, its kind of tapered off a bit, which is a little disappointing, although I still can't stop watching it. So maybe I'll just spend my weekend waiting for something to happen, like getting hit by a car and making out on the road again ....

I should probably go and check in with the grandparents ... which means I'll have to find some photos of the wedding. So basically, I'll actually be spending my weekend on facebook and then shouting to old people (I get told off for shouting at them).

I am also just about to hit `10000 page views on this blog, so that blows me aways as well.

EDIT: ummm so someone was sleep posting again last night.

Sleep blogging + pissed off = very little effort.

Sorry.

We went to see Magic Mike last night. I don't think I have ever seen a cinema screen with literally no men in it before. Even Twilight had more guys in attendance.

Sure, its a film about male strippers, but in amongst the topless men there were a fair few topless women as well.

The plot was a little predictable and I'll admit to switching off slightly until they started taking their clothes off again, but in general, it was an enjoyable film. It wasn't too romance-y, nor was it too objectifying, focusing on the fact that these boys can dance as well as the whole stripping thing.

Mostly though, it just made me want to watch Step Up and dancey films like that.

I wish I could dance. Unfortunately, it is something that needs natural talent. For example, Channing Tatum has it, whereas I think Alex Pettyfer just learnt the routines. Its the same with most entertainers. EunHyuk of Super Junior has natural talent, KyuHyun only knows what he is taught. Its obvious when they are asked to improvise and Hyuk can just throw something out there in a second, while Kyu looks like a bunny caught in headlights. A very cute, evil maknae bunny.

Right, time to stop getting distracted by strippers and SuJu, and head out to get a drink and some fruit for lunch.

Set Me Free

So I've been watching a hamster lately. Literally.

A friend asked me to look after her while they were on holiday, and I literally just watch her.

She amuses me. She turns her food bowl upside down all the time, so she's messy. Earlier, I watched her push her poo out of her ball and then roll away so she obviously has some standards. Food everywhere is fine, but poo lives elsewhere. Which is fair enough!

I think she has an identity crisis. When she first existed, she screeched like a parrott. Now, she is either standing on her hind legs like a meerkat or hanging off the ceiling like a bat. I mean sure, it's difficult to know you're a hamster if there are no other hamsters around to compare yourself to, but I hear it's just as well as she would probably eat it anyway.
