Randomness

* Today I mainlined the last couple episodes of the J-drama "Magerarenai Onna" (I've seen the title translated as "The Unbendable Woman," which is not quite literal but conveys a lot of the spirit of it).

( OMG ridiculous plot twist! (I won't consider this a spoiler; it's revealed in the first episode. )

( Which then gets more ridiculous (this, on the other hand, IS a spoiler) )

Ridiculousness aside it's actually a really good series, and the three main characters are all weird but adorable in their own ways. My favorite might be Riko, who at first glance is a stereotype of a certain kind of brand-obsessed shallow housewife but is really running away from a family that seems to be trying to shut her out.

*I finished Avatar! I don't know if I have any deep thoughts about it. I just love everybody. That is all.

*I am reading less since I've moved, to my own consternation. Reverse commute on the L train meant I was guaranteed a seat; now I take two buses which are often both crowded.

*Plane tickets purchased for going to Raleigh in September. THAT IS REALLY SOON OH NO SHOES.
