Tiny baby

I met a tiny baby today. Just 4 days old. So tiny, I could have held him in one hand. I didn't, in case I dropped him. Which I'm glad to say I did not.

Tiny baby has a big brother. He's 4 years old and was very much the first baby I really came across. The thought of holding him used to terrify me, and at the slightest squeak or movement, I would quickly pass him back to his parents. In fact, I can very clearly remember refusing to hold him unless I was sat down - holding such a precious being while standing up was unthinkable.

Now, many babies have come into my life since that big brother, including two nieces, and somehow, babies aren't so scary anymore. I guess practice really does make perfect. I have to admit though, I was glad for my friends having babies before my sister, purely for the fact that it made me so much more confident in holding my nieces for the first time.

Maybe by the time I have one, if that ever happens, I'll have so much experience with other people's babies that I can hold my own with just one hand.

Insominho

I haven't been doing well at getting to sleep at sociable times lately. Last night, I was lying in bed wide awake getting really annoyed by the sound of my breathing at 4 am, so thats always good. Hopefully, things will be more peaceful tonight.

Still getting a load of random spam comments on my Tokyo Dogs post. If nothing else, it's boosting my page views. I was on 16161 a few seconds ago, so that's crazy. Especially as so many people are finding my posts to be full of 'such valuable information'.

What with SHINee's new album and watching 'To The Beautiful You', I'm finding myself with a small case of Minho fever. Sure he was born in the 90's, but he's pretty and kind and sweet and all sorts of good things. Proof: I've watched him in Yunhanam and Hello Baby.

And he's tall.

The Misconceptions of You

Onew. Jonghyun. Key. Minho. Taemin.

Ah ... I love these boys.

So this is 'Dream Girl'. It's a good song, but I'm not so instantly hooked as I was with 'Lucifer' or 'Sherlock'. I do like the video though. And how Minho gets to do more than dance and rap.

Taemin is so grown up now.

I feel old.

Happy Together

I have spent a rather large proportion of today watching a Super Junior reality show. It's called Full House, and involved two female students staying with Super Junior while they study Korean.

I've watched a bit of it before, but the episodes are pretty hard to track down due to copyright, so I have never watched the whole series. I'm pretty sure I have mentioned or even posted a video link before where the members try to learn English. Its really funny, especially as they can't remember much past 'You are so gorgeous.' Although I'm a little concerned why they were taught 'OBEY ME!'. I'll post it again just in case... I challenge you not to laugh.

From YouTube

Its an old series, way back in 2006 so they'd not long debuted, and they all look soooo young. The girls stayed in a dorm with Heechul, Hangeng, Kangin, Donghae, Siwon and Kibum (only Donghae and Siwon are still active in SuJu, although Kangin is returning for their new album. Heechul is in the army, Hangeng left SM due to the slave contract controversy, and Kibum is on hiatus to pursue his acting career), although Eunhyuk turns up much of the time*.

I've laughed (pretty much all the time) and I've cried (when they won their first award). If you read my drama posts you know that this is how I rate a show. Plus it has Super Junior, so bonus points right there.

It has been a royal pain trying to find working links though. It's annoying when you have to watch one 30 min episode in parts on about three different sites. I've never had this trouble with SHINee's shows ... and they were better quality. Shawols obviously are happier to share than ELFs ... or more likely the blockers are on the ball for SuJu more than SHINee.

Maybe just one more before bed.
