It deserves a feeble attempt at posting something, don’t you think ? Set the wheels back in motion, etc. ?
What’s up ? A 14-year-old girl hoping she’ll actually be able to meddle with an oil country’s state affairs… But hey, you cross her dad, you cross AMERICA, and you don’t wanna do that, no sir. So we finally learn that Harry is a mob boss who placed his college roommate within gunshot range of the President ! Or something like that.
For all we know, she might be useful, maybe she’ll try to hug Somand and he’ll die of fright.
And what’s with the others ? read more…

Oh my, I dit NOT pay attention at all these past few weeks to have missed THAT !

It still leaves me a month to raise my expectations too high, though.

*starts crossing fingers now*

Where will it end ?

After a year of constant but subtle nagging by an enlightened friend, and over half a year of forgetting a dvd box in a corner (belonging to the aforementioned nagger), I am sorry to say that I’m currently engaged in KOREAN DRAMA ! Like I’m not already swamped with things to watch.

Achieving suspension of disbelief is next to impossible for me with drama so I’d like to mention I’m trying very hard, out of curiosity (and courtesy) :D

Especially since it’s a reaaaally sad love story, or so I’ve been told. For the time being (episode 3), it’s mainly unrequited love, money, hitting people, the main girl repeatedly tripping on stairs or scratching her face, one guy jumping in water twice despite his inability to swim, abandoning kids, bullets in the head and Billy Joel’s “The Stranger”. I like Billy Joel. I did say I was trying :D The plot is shifting in second gear by episode 3 so I’m not suffering that hard. Just have to endure some fits of The Giggles from time to time…

15366yeah it’s “I’m sorry I love you” btw

Is it a new era ? Will I ever finish blogging Valkyria Chronicles ? Wait, and hope…

Sorry, last day before getting back to work – calls for desperate mesures. Breathe in, breathe out, think about something nice…

Gotta love the MAD DANCING AND SINGING VILLAIN !!!

Mild spoilers for this arc of the third season in the video below, so here’s an alternative, a couple of snapshots and the soundtrack (warning : highly addictive… but maybe that’s just because of the MAD DANC- sorry).

Just to confirm my previous statement. That is how you weave a story. And after much internal debate, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse wins Favorite Character. Writing a full review without spoilers would be too frustrating so why don’t you go read it (if it’s not already done) and we’ll talk about it later (this is not turning into a book club, this is just me being nice).

Now where is that copy of Quicksilver
