EXO-K and EXO-M

Umm....so where was I in 2012?! Apparenty not paying attention. EXO-K(orean) and EXO-M(andarin) debuted at the end of 2011, as a mirror boy band of six guys, one of which is Korean and the other group Chinese (because that was not obvious).

Here's a taste to get you hooked:

and the Chinese version:

Here's the wiki page if you are completed dazed.
And their homepages (EXO-K and EXO-M)....and no, this does not count as stalking. But, please, obsess to your heart's desire <3

January challenge update

So I finished one of my challenges - to make an amigurumi turtle and ended up making two! They were a gift to my boyfriend's mother for Christmas. The lamb on the right side is a gift I gave my boyfriend last year when we went to Boston.

I found this pattern here.

Lost Girl, Season 1

 

This show was surprisingly addictive...I mean, nothing is spectacular about the acting. The storyline is enough to hold interest, but not super imaginative (but, frankly, I love me some SyFy, so who really cares about all these sorts of things...?) I think there are two reasons why I watched a full season in a week:

1. The people are really beautiful. Take for example, Dyson, who is a shapeshifter:

More mainstream beauties being the main actress and her good friend. And the Light Fae doctor. And Dyson's cop partner. Seriously, everybody.

 

 

2. Second reason this show is great - TV is finally bringing the fae into mainstream, as literature (albeit mainly YA) did years ago. We're all kind of tired with the vampire/werewolf mix, but how many shows have you seen that have Kelpie? or Sirens?

 

Overall, I girl Lost girl a 3/5, because although I liked it, I probably enjoyed it for reasons unrelated to the actual show itself. But I guess that still kind of makes it a success, right? A few notes, though. The main role is a Succubus, so a bit too much sex and sexually charged scenes for my taste. I will still watch the second season - I have a major wolf-crush on Dyson, and can't quite give it up yet!

 

Rating: 3/5



January Challenge

I'm not quite set on this yet, since the year already started (Happy New Year by the way!) and it's already passing me by.

For this month's challenge I will do a sampler so I can get back in the swing of things:

1. Lose 4 lbs
2. Make amigurumi turtle
3. Read 4 books
4. Make 4 new dishes

Wish me luck!

The Boys by Girl's Generation

I find Kpop really catchy and a lot of the songs, if you aren't really listening, don't even sound like they're in another language (especially since half of it IS English). Anyway, I'm not really up to date on all the great Kpop bands out there, I just fall upon things sometimes, like this song - and makes me want to listen to more!
