My eyes? Nah, they're not getting worse..

Ever since my cousin got Netflix, my sister and I have been parking ourselves in front of the TV every time we eat. And that leads to..

TV SHOWS GUYS YEAH

Merlin (Season 1-4): One thing I love about this show, is how each season wraps up so nicely with action! And drama! And this is the one show that my mom started watching with us (by accident: I'm sure she saw Merlin/Arthur bromance and was an instant fan) and continued watching with us. She got real excited when she saw a preview on the Sy-Fy channel - even though we watch on Netflix: "Morgana was chasing Gwen in the forest!" It's an accomplishment if my Asian mama can remember all of the characters' names. Except Gaius. She always calls him Guy. Poor guy.

Glee (Season 1-3+): Chris Colfer once said in an interview that some girls told him that seeing his face makes them cry. This is pretty much how I feel whenever Kurt sings.

The Guild (Episodes 1-5): So this started off incredibly low-budget with awful acting but it really got much better as it went on. Episode 5 is pretty hilarious. Oh the memories of being part of a guild in an MMO.

Supernatural (Episodes 1-4): I am a total wuss. I really wanted to continue this and I feel like I'm missing on a lot of Sam and Dean goodness, but it's freakin' scary. XD If the rest of the episodes were like the airplane soul-taking episode it would be fine and dandy. But the Wendigo and Bloody Mary episodes creeped me out. I need like, a PG version of this show, guys. The next episode was titled Skin I think, and my sister and I decided to take a break. A long one.

Top Shot (Season 1-2): I LOVE THIS SHOW. It's so reality TV but so good. They compete not only with guns, but long bows! Crossbows! Blow-guns! Knives! TOMAHAWKS!

Full Metal Jousting (Season 1): Since I loved Top Shot so much, I thought this one would be a lot of fun too. It's all right, and I think there was just not enough diversity. It was just a regular joust after joust. My favorite parts of the show were the horses. Seriously.

On Jdramas, I've still got to catch up to Nazotoki & Lucky Seven, but I can only watch them in little doses. I did catch the first episode of Ohno's new drama and I love it already! There's something about it that really holds my attention that the other two didn't. I've yet to watch Aiba's new drama, but I've got it downloaded and it looks super cute. I mean, Aiba & Becky? You got me there.

LOL my boyfriend loves both Top Shot and Full Metal Jousting (along with others along the same lines: American Chopper, Sons of Guns, etc.), which means that I end up watching a lot of these too. Hahaha. I gotta say, some of the stuff they compete with on Top Shot are pretty crazy, like I've never even seen some of those weapons before, just heard about them in Social Studies textbooks. It's pretty amazing that they would think to even use things like crossbows and flamethrowers or whatever. o_O

As for Jdramas, I actually watched Lucky Seven (I surprised myself by doing so) and I'm currently up to date on Ohno's one! Which is a big accomplishment because before a month ago, I was behind on any and all Jdramas. I tried Aiba's, but I lost interest about 2 minutes into it. Sorry Aiba-channnnn. :( And I've never even given Nazotoki a chance yet, lol. But I like Ohno's a lot, too! Although I feel like they're kind of straying off the whole key-otaku thing.. and it's just turning into a full on mystery drama. But it's still interesting so it's alright! (And Ohno looks absolutely flawless in it so who cares?! :D)

LOL Awesome. Flamethrowers?! Must've been a season I haven't watched yet. The drama is so hilarious when they have to use weapons they've never used so they start throwing tantrums. Haha. But yeah, considering it's on the History channel, we're sure learning a lot! I love it. For FMJ, my sister and I just end up betting on which type of horses they're gonna use. We don't really care which competitor was going to win, really. Haha. I ended up being a Crispin fan.

Aww, I was hoping this Aiba drama wouldn't be boring. I know his acting's never been that great. :( I'll have to pick up on Lucky Seven again. The first episode was good but then the second was sloow, so I took a break. Haha. Nazotoki is hard to watch! Sho is great but the formula for solving the mysteries is really weird, and Kitagawa Keiko's character is incredibly dense. No idea how she became a detective. @@; And yesss, Ohno's drama is great. I hope it keeps with this momentum. I like that he doesn't have to make all of these goofy expressions like a lot of his dramas lately have been making him do. :D

Yeah, Aiba's acting has never been good. But not only that, but I felt like the quality of the drama was just .. poor. Maybe it was because I had just finished Lucky Seven and had also just watched Kagi no Kakatta Heya, but I just had a feeling that the quality of Aiba's drama was such a downgrade. Dunno, that's just my take.

And I SOOOO understand what you mean about Lucky Seven. In fact, that's exactly what happened to me. I watched the first one, then attempted the second one, but I fell asleep halfway through it so I avoided the rest of the series until just recently. The second one was the only one that was really horrible; the rest are pretty good. Especially the latter half of the series because they get into the good stuff about the boss's dad. :D (Does that count as a spoiler? I'm sorry if it does!)

Nazotoki doesn't appeal to me at all so I don't know if I'll even give it a chance. LOL whoops, sorry Sho-chan. And as for Ohno, yes it's nice for him to finally be a human again after being Kaibutsu-kun for so long. I'm glad he's back to regular human facial expressions!

Ah, his drama must have been stuck with a late-night or with a poor time-slot. :/ Maybe one day he'll get a better quality drama. Although I think My Girl was one of his better ones.

Okay awesome, I've started downloading the rest. I should've just skipped the second episode, since it didn't contribute to a larger storyline really! Haha. Looking forward to the good stuff with the boss! I've been disappointed since she didn't have much to do with the first two episodes.

Yeah, Nazotoki might not even be worth it. I'm pretty much forcing myself to watch it (episode 7 right now) 'cause I wanted to get to the special where he plays the piano. Although I'm betting that's only 30-seconds worth. LOL.

HIIIIIII! 8D

Dude, I'm already having some withdrawals from Merlin. I would've loved to see your Merlin drawings! I always wanted to find a reason to cosplay as Merlin just because his costume is super easy and you just have to switch out your scarves/shirt with another bold color every once in a while, rofl.

COLIN. FREAKING. MORGAN. That is all.

I am super! How are you? :D

I LOVE MERLIN. Only on season 2 right now but GOD I LOVE THAT SHOW.

MERLIN IS SO SO GREAT. (I am still anticipating when Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. And I fear it won't be until the very end! Why oh why!)
