There's something about finding out you're trapped in one place for another 2.5 years that can drive you crazy. Or at least it's driving me crazy. I've had the travel bug since I graduated and it hasn't left me yet. I want to be out exploring all the parts of the world I haven't had the chance to yet... which is a great large part of the world ( Read more... )

I have finally committed to learning Korean. I really enjoyed Chinese, but I suspect that Korean will actually be more useful to my interests. ^^ I've started with the Pimsleur program and I really like it so far.

The Impossible Astronaut has cemented my hatred for two-parters though. I never realized it before because I just watched the episodes back to back, read copious ( Read more... )

I was thrilled that all of my TV shows this week were awesome. Even How I Met Your Mother which I haven't really been that enthusiastic about since Barney and Robin broke up. But they were nice enough to indulge us with this:

so I might be warming back to it again. :3 Community was at its utmost meta this week, with flashbacks we've never seen ( Read more... )

The perfection of the casting for Rue and Thresh took my breath away. It was like I had forgotten actors could actually look like the characters they've been tasked to portray. And the way they're revealing the tributes is really cool too. Hoping to get daily updates on this thing now ( Read more... )
