Listening to: "Yong Gan Qu Ai" (Love Power) - K OneDon't worry, the mutant flies haven't taken over the lab yet! I haven't posted in a while b/c 2 recent obsessions have taken over my free time: Top on the Forbidden City and Dark Hunter novels. The former I found on youtube, and Becky has gotten the DH novels I don't have.
Top on the Forbidden City is a Taiwanese idol drama featuring the members of K One, ShaoWei from 5566, and Qiao Qiao from Sweety. Qiao Qiao is really cute as the female lead, Xiao Ying, as is JR, one of her love interests, Qing Tian. However, Gino is so cool as the male protagonist, Tian Xie. I like his character b/c even though he acts arrogant and aloof, he's a caring person inside. TOTFC doesn't have the greatest plot in the world nor the best actors yet I can't help but love the character. Tian Xie is a dancer who has trained under a world champion and a heart-breaking past. The famous dance company Royal has invited him to join them. When he arrives in Taiwan, he runs into some street performers, namely Xiao Ying and Qing Tian. Xiao Ying actually runs into him a couple times...stuff happens, and she's slowly breaking down the walls he has put up around himself. Meanwhile, the dance teacher has spot potential in Qing Tian, who becomes Tian Xie's rival. Dun dun dun...who will come out on top? I don't know yet.
You know an obsession is bad when you start dreaming about it. 2 nights ago, I had a dream involving the characters from the Dark Hunter series. Right now, I'm reading Dance with the Devil, Zarek's story. It's interesting b/c Zarek is the bastard half-brother of Valerius, whose story was my 1st DH novel. Zarek has become my favorite though b/c I can understand why he's so psychotic. A person can only stand so much pain. Once you've hit a low, the only way to go is up, and you're gonna strike back. I know what it's like to hate the world but to hate yourself even more. Poor Zarek. Yet he's so adorable in his psychotic ways (like several anime characters). ^_^ He's got a morbid and caustic sense of humor but also a poetic side. All he really wants (like all the other Dark Hunters) is some love.
Hunter quote of the day:
"[Sex was] something the body needed like it needed food. But a guy didn't have to promise a steak he was going to date it before he ate it." - Dance with the Devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon (Yeah, Zarek is very coarse and insensitive, but he wasn't that way by choice.)
oh how time slips by
