Daily posts have become...weekly D:
[001] I've come to realise that while I can't stand freezing temperatures (ice on the ground, hail etc.) I do prefer rainy days to sunny ones. Might be 'cause any day with clouds when I was young was always a reason to celebrate - since no matter how hot and humid it gets in Dubai, the rain always goes somewhere else normally D: So now, if it weren't for having to actually drive, all these cloudy days would be perfect XD
[002] I hate when I'm on the highway (on the slow lane) and suddenly the last two lanes end up merging and there's a car going faster behind me on the lane on my left, and refuses to frickin' slow down, so to prevent crashes, I slow down to a crawl and let it pass me just as the lanes merge.
[003] Here's my Fall TV schedule (though really it's my computer!watch schedule -__-):
Watching: Being Erica, The Big Bang Theory, Drop Dead Diva, The Good Wife, Glee, Fringe, Kimi No Todoke, Darker Than Black 2, Cross Game, Nyan Koi, The Guild (web show)
Tentative/Marathon: Flashforward, Star Gate Universe, Supernatural, Fairy Tail, Merlin, Doll House, Tatakau Shisho, Letter Bee
May/may not marathon: Vampire diaries, True Blood, Sacred Blacksmith, Inuyasha,Legend of the Seeker, Lady Castle
[004] I did running on the elliptical for the first time today! Normally I just do uphill or fast walking, but thanks to the weight training class, I was able to go 12 minutes doing a slow run :D
[005] Haven't been posting very often lately - RL is crazy busy and I usually use the weekend to catch up with shows and anime. Don't even read the library books I get (which defeats the point of borrowing them in the first place but...)
[006] In case y'all were wondering, here's a list of remaining commich!pics to come over the next few months - some of the peeps I asked over the summer (yooani, alexds1, Erina, DS-Hina, Alice chan) might have time next year instead though:
[007] While my hair is currently black, after 4 to 8 weeks I'll be coloring it using Palty's Caramel Brown (see image here). I got it off ebay and it's a japanese brand specifically for asian hair. I found translated instructions/directions on Soompi so \o\o/o/
[008] There is a Zuko/Toph forum thread called The Toko Tea Hut ♥ Best part was finding this adorable (and HILLARIOUS) fanart of young Zuko and Toph mwhahahaha XD
[009] In other news, the Zuko/Toph commish I got from Charlie Bowater got a Daily Deviation awarded on the 10th \o/ If anyone here is interested in a full size 300 dpi version for printing, just message me and I'll send you a download link - here's a close up preview of their faces <3
[010] Decided to do a local design class in my free time - would anyone be interested in seeing the results either as I go along or at the end after its all done?

Lady Castle the kdrama goes kinda downhill. It was repeating stuff and will be mostly likely unbearable on marathon. If you're going for trendy comedy, try 'You're Beautiful' instead.
And Merlin S2 has not measured up to expectations. (Yet.) It is still a lovely show.
I don't think YEH is really connection with her character in the drama, from the few previews I've seen. You're Beautiful looks like cracky!kdrama cliches XD, though there are moments in the previews where I was immediately reminded of Coffee Prince >_>
Since Style ended I haven't really found an interesting new drama to follow on Aja-Aja though I do have a few historical kdramas I've been meaning to marathon for a while. Have you seen Emperor of the Sea? The ending doesn't look great but at 51 episodes, I don't mind just watching the first half of the series...
Kimi ni Todoke is ♥. I'm not a huge fan of shoujo and yet I am in love with it. :D
I watched a few episodes of True Blood but I ended up unable to watch it due to the fact I found it terribly lulzy.
I watched the anime and had to immediately reread the manga since there's so much awesomeness that I can't wait for :D
True Blood, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries etc. all seem to be the latest line of shows that tend to be so trashy and cheesy that they're addictive anyway. Still, I can only marathon TB and VD and GG makes me run away screaming even with Chuck and Blair. It's easier to just watch these shows with 10 - 20 episodes in one go XD
I'll read the manga after the anime. I don't want to read it at the same time as the airing. More anticipation for me.
Actually, I find myself having very low tolerance for trashy and cheesy lately. I think I outgrew the period where I used to sit and watch those type of shows when I was younger.
I've been watching Vampire Diaries and I'm still not sure what I think about it.
Also, I would totally be interested in seeing the results of your design class as you go along!
VD - the main couple bores me to deah but the blond chick and the older brother surprisingly had me hooked IDEK why.
Yay! Got th idea from your updates whch I love to see but probably wouldn't do scanning/photographs if no one were interested since its a 2D class and nothing is done on the computer, but rather, traditional media (it reminds me how sucky I am with pencils, pens etc.)
VD is definitely iffy - the main couple is insanely vanilla and apart from the older brother and the blond, I didn't really warm up to any of the characters...
