feeling: almost tired but not
listening to: nothing
I've been bouncing back and forth all night between eyes-falling-shut sleepy and twitchy-bouncy wide awake. It's the most annoying thing. So I came here to kill a little time and hopefully wear myself out enough to go to sleep.
Unfortunately, though, my life is boring and I don't really have anything to talk about.
The most noteworthy thing that I've actually physically done in recent weeks was go to the Dogwood Festival last weekend in Piketon, which is one of those little community fairs that hosts local church services on Sunday and has a little parade on one afternoon and primarily consists of a couple streets lined with 80% concession stands and 20% dealers of random stuff. Haven't been to anything like that since high school, I don't think. Salt Creek Valley Festival doesn't count. It's too puny. Anyway, yeah, came home with my shirt stained from a drippy strawberry daquiri and a sunburn.
My freaking Megaupload download is stuck. Great. *starts over*
Downloading a Korean drama called Coffee Prince, by the way. Thus far it has served to maintain my strange conviction that Korean entertainment is weird. Not bad, necessarily, just... weird. I've only seen a few movies and half a drama, yes, but all of it just comes across as weird to me. It's something about the atmosphere, the Koreans' choices of ambience... something like that... I don't know... But anyway, yeah, Coffee Prince. So far it totally reminds me of something that would become an overnight hit if it were a Japanese drama. Youth, life, romance, love triangles, a cute little coffee shop, and the potential to cast at least half a dozen hot popular young actors. Wouldn't be surprised if it's picked up by someone in Japan someday. It has some very similar story devices to Hana Kimi though, so they might give people another year or two to move on from that before bringing in a story with that kind of resemblance.
Also, I guess I should've written out my latest J-drama review the other night while its rough draft in my mind still sounded really cool in my head, even if it was 3 or 4 in the morning and I was already lying in bed. Now I can't remember what I was going to say. It was kinda slick, too. Darn.
Oh well, this blog needed a break from the constant onslaught of J-drama review babble anyway.
But on a final drama-related note, I am currently taking part in my first experience with subbing a J-drama. It's currently airing, and there are already like 3 other groups subbing it, but this team I've been on-and-off collaborating with since last fall expressed interest in subbing it too... and it's a series I was interested in since I first heard about it, so I volunteered to translate it. Thus far 2 episodes have aired, and I translated them both and sent them on to the timer/typesetters within a couple days of release, but they're apparently still hung up in those stages and the third episode comes out tomorrow and eh... so much for getting caught up with the other groups working on it week-to-week. Oh well, was mostly a "just for fun" deal anyway.
...But like I said, a break from the drama babbles.
Actually, I'm sleepy now and my stomach is doing odd things, so I guess it's probably a good idea to waddle back over to the bed.
