feeling: calmer...
listening to: Earth Wind & Fire - Fantasy
So I've been in a really, really foul mood for the past several days. For a few reasons, none of which are really justifiable, I'm sure, but my nephew keeping me awake for hours this morning with his constant screaming and thundering around the house was sort of the straw that broke the camel's back. By the time I gave up and dragged myself out of bed, he was lucky I didn't start slapping him around or at least snapping all his toys in half or something. I don't think I've been in such a bad mood in years.
It had been building for the past week or so, combined with little annoyances like stuff coming up and stopping me in my tracks just when I finally feel mellow and motivated enough to catch up on the stuff I've been avoiding all week. So today I sort of just said screw it all and holed up in my room all day, hiding from the world and watching J-drama and Tokyo Friend Park episodes. Been watching them here and there throughout the week, really, but sort of let it culminate today until evening rolled around and I finally, finally felt a bit less homicidal.
Anyway, my point (if there is such a thing) is that I just finished watching this latest drama today, and by the time it reached the end and all the pieces to the puzzle were finally in place, I realized that I had figured them all out right from the start. O_o Everything from the major storylines in the plot to little details about people's identities and histories, etc. I think there were only about two details that sort of surprised me, but they were relatively minor. Beginning to wonder if I'm getting too used to dramas or something... how depressing...
Of course, it could be said that this was a pretty predictable series anyway. All the clues were plainly given... connecting them wasn't hard. And a lot of the overall plot was driven by legal processes and stuff, which are about as surprising and spontaneous as... um... something that's very not surprising or spontaneous. *is not creative*
I dunno. I guess it sort of made me wonder if they don't make J-dramas like they used to, or if I'm just getting too used to them. I became hooked on J-dramas in the first place because the first few I saw were so different from everything I've seen on American TV, and because there were always twists and turns that kept me guessing. Of course, I went through much of 2009 without watching any dramas at all... maybe I just haven't found the newest good ones yet. Lord knows there are still dozens more series I still want to see. Finally having a 1TB external drive should help rectify that problem, though. *pets it*
Oh, in unrelated news... remember when I mentioned in my last post that I got Spore, Sims 2 Double Deluxe, and the Sims 2 Pets expansion for Christmas? I believe I neglected to mention at the time that I'd been waiting for, like, two years to get them. Well, soon as I had enough space cleared on my main HD to install them, I was promptly and harshly reminded that this computer, awesome as it is, is not a gaming computer. The graphics chip can barely handle the base Sims 2 game and doesn't even try to run with the Pets expansion installed... and Spore is newer and bigger and faster than both of those games, so I know better than to even attempt it. So I guess my long wait is destined to drag out even longer. -__-
Ok, getting kinda tired, so I think I'll watch one more episode of something and then try to sleep...
