some things
+ SPRING IS HERE! I'd been saying that I thought we'd have one more cold snap before spring formally shows up, but I'm not so sure about that now. All I know is that it's been in the 80s for the past week, and things are turning green, and all the redbuds and dogwoods and tulip poplars, etc. look so gorgeous it makes me want to die. And tulips! Everywhere! I had forgotten how happy warm weather makes me, especially the greenness. I am wearing sundresses all week (with cardigans to make them work appropriate) in celebration.
+ So about that "YOUR ISP WILL STOP YOU FROM DOWNLOADING THINGS!!!!!!" post: I'm not freaking out yet, mostly because I just don't know whether it's true and if it is whether it'll actually be widespread or whether I'll be able to switch my ISP and avoid this problem. Basically I'm withholding judgment.
+ This post contains interesting discussions about that whole 50-Shades-of-Grey thing (which my feelings are basically: pointing and laughing--but not in a mean-hearted way--at the people paying money for the porn they could get for free on the internet). After all the media attention this is getting (most of it with people flailing in confusion), it's nice to see an actual fandom conversation about it, since, uh, we actually get it? Also, a few interesting mentions of BtVS AU AH fic.
+ OMG MODS OF GRAPHICS COMMUNITIES: USE TAGS AND MAKE PEOPLE USE TAGS AND OMG I CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WHEN I WANT TO FIND IT THE TAGS ARE RIGHT THERE THIS IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT.
+ Does anybody know where there are English-language non-Western-media fanfic sites? Basically, I want Kdrama fic, and I know it has to be out there, but I'm not sure where to find it. Non-Western-media fandom doesn't overlap with Western-media fandom in some interesting ways; if I get into a new Western show, I know how to go searching for fic. But this is beyond my ken, basically.
+ Speaking of which, Personal Taste/Preference. Cute enough, with some fun side characters (I especially liked Main Girl's BFF and her relationship with Main Guy's BFF who always calls her "unni" and also Director Choi was interesting in ways I wasn't expecting), but I wasn't in love with it or anything. Most of my feelings, honestly are Lee Min Ho-shaped, what are you expecting. As a side-note: he is very good at playing sexually frustrated. It makes me giggle.
+ I watched the first two episodes of Coffee Prince last night, and I'm mostly just crazy about Yoon Eun Hye's physicality. The way she flops herself around, paying no attention to what her body's doing, I totally understand how someone could mistake her for a teenage boy. Comparing her character in this with Goong is such fun. This woman knows how much how she moves makes the character.

OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS PARADISE. It is currently 17 outside and there is so much snow -- mountains of snow! Feet and feet and feet! -- that I think my house might actually be Winterfell.
Spring is a LIE invented by card companies. For ... some ... reason.

I don't even want to think about what 17 degrees feels like. I'm pretty sure it feels like Hell. I have never seen feet and feet of snow before in real life. I cannot imagine!
If your house is Winterfell, tell Robb I said hi (TV show Robb. Book!Robb is too young for me to get all pervy on)!

That is all.

And SPRING! My mom and I had lunch today and we sat out on the restaurant's terrace and it was glorious!

Now, I don't know a first thing about Kdramas, but I have a friend who does, so I asked :). She says to look around http://www.asianfanfics.com/ and maybe just try googling the title of the drama + livejournal, maybe you'll be lucky. There are also fora, but it's better to stay away from them.
We both wish you good luck and patience, since, apparently, you'll need them ;).
