I have been awful about updating this month

There's really no excuse for it, other than the fact that my computer did kind of die. Okay, not kind of. It completely died. And I had to pull a Dr. Frankenstein to get it up and running again. I'm not the most computer literate person on the planet. I have a habit of breaking computers. Often. DVD players, too. I'm not really sure why, but if I get a month out of them, that's pretty lucky.

And aside from the computer issues, I started watching seven hours of Boys Over Flowers a night. First of all, if you know me at all, you'll know that I don't even have the attention span to watch a two hour movie. I watch the same movies repeatedly because I can't stay focused long enough to watch one I haven't already seen. So for me to be able to watch this show for seven hours a night...That means I'm really emotionally invested in it.

I watched one episode of Ouran High School Host Club on Netflix (Operation Haruhi and Hikaru's First Date) because I didn't feel like putting the DVD in. And then Netflix decided to recommend Boys Over Flowers to me, so I thought, okay. I'll give this a try. Whenever I get tired of American TV shows/movies, I tend to move onto media from other countries.

Boys Over Flowers...I believe was a Japanese manga? I could be wrong. And then it was made into a Korean TV show. The show is about a girl who gets a scholarship to an elite school for the rich and fights (and eventually befriends/falls in love) with the school's most influential student, who happens to be a bully. It's 25 episodes, I'm on episode 15 so I don't know how it ends. But it's really cute. And I'm so invested in the romantic triangle. It's not even a triangle at this point, now it's become a square. All the characters are so likable that I can't choose sides. I hate getting like this over a show, but I definitely do like the love story.

You can see why I'm MIA, right?

There's also the fact that this blog still isn't set up the way that I want it and people are still going to Melo instead. Which is not what I want people to do because Melo is unreliable. I'll get back on track as soon as I finish the last ten episodes of this show.
