MIANEEE MY ASSSS

The professor looks at the lady inspector pointing the gun at her. Not long ago he was pointing something else.

"미안해" (mianhae, or "I'm sorry" in Korean), and off it goes, the gun. He shoots at her! I have no idea where that bullet landed because the camera suddenly pans to the hand holding it. And that's how the penultimate episode of Money Heist: Korean ended.

"Mianhae my arse!!!!!!" I exclaim, pointing my own gun at them and pressing PLAY. I was going to write a little tonight but come on... I can't leave it like that, it's only one more episode! Plus, it's too bloody hot. No, I am not kidding you. Freaking 36 degrees and counting. I have never felt this hot in Galicia before. And my parents' refusal to join modernity and install some air con is making me hate them right now. Yeah, I know I could move. I really should. I am looking, goddammit!

I'll watch this last episode, drink a gallon of iced latte and melt all over the driveway while I try to water the poor jungle my mother is growing out there. Another strange idea of theirs. They must love suffering.

Besos, very hot besos,

Lu

PS – I have disintegrated the fan in sheer desperation.

PPS – No, it's not the one in the photo, but I don't have the strength to go back upstairs to take one.

PPPS – No, I didn't seduce the "boy" at the café. My friend seduced me instead, with the offer of... BEACHHHHHH.

Yep... the sea in Galicia is finally warming up. Global warming's only silver lining! It still took me ten minutes of doing an Indian rain dance on the shoreline, much to the delight of the holidaymakers, to work up the courage to plunge in. But once I was in... she had trouble getting me back out. It took another temptation...

BAR AND BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!! YEEEEHAHHHHHHHHHHH!

For this, my darlings. For evenings exactly like this one, I came back to Spain. ;)

I walked into the bar wearing my bikini, dripping water all over the place, but as my friend put it, "It's OK, girl, you're the guiri here anyway." Another silver lining of spending thirty years abroad and ending up looking like a glass of milk. You can wear whatever you like without anyone batting an eyelid.

Happy Saturday, Earthlings. Don't melt... and if you have to, do it in someone's arms, not by yourself on the concrete!

2036

 

freaking fascinating

Bullshit of course... or is it? ;)

And if that vid doesn´t tickle your fancy, and you are a teeny weeny bit bored... try this instead. I haven't watched it yet, so don't blame me, but if you're expecting something all lovey-dovey... I think you're going to be disappointed: 

Besos little earthlings... it´s.. Fridayyyyyyyyy!!

WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE

 

I have a feeling this one might end badly—and I might have to shoot myself if it does. Netflix has a weakness for K-dramas with trauma-inducing endings.

That said, for now I’m loving it. Not just because the male lead is an incredible actor, and not even because I find myself at a similar crossroads as his character, or because the title (We Are All Trying here) is something I often repeat to "my little pea” when she’s in a dark place. I love it for its substance.

Let me share a nugget with you, my darling reader:

“Why do you find Director Hwang so hard to deal with?”

[...]

“To put it simply, he’s incompetent. Being incompetent is fine—but people who try to cover that up by talking nonstop are the absolute worst.”

“What do you mean by incompetent?”

“You’re a chef who can’t cook. A teacher who can’t teach. Should I go on?”

“You’re human, but not humane. Isn’t that peak incompetence?”

Woah. Savage. God bless good K-dramas.

And lovely people in real life, too. I’ve had the pleasure of spending this weekend in wonderful company—in both worlds. I hope you’ve all been just as lucky.

With lots of love. There’s nothing else. <3

안녕 !! 

FANCY A GAME?

 This was one of the hooks that made many of us addicted to all-things-K, and here it comes for seconds with fabulous actors again (who now I am very familiar with, I didn't know any of them in the first series), and a huge difference : a back story for each of the characters that everyone in the story is made aware of, raising the stakes even more.

Let the games begin!! 

SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL

 

Back in the office, it feels actually very very nice to be here and wearing actual clothes for a change. Lovely to see all these mad people again. 

Haven't had a smoke for over 16 hours (this time around is proving challenging). I was beginning to sound like an old locomotive specially when laughing which I do often. Still, I do love smoking so so much, since I was very little, why is everything nice so very bad for you?

Now to what matters, I urgently need all handsome single Korean men over 45 to concentrate nearby, first snow is expected to fall a little later today and, according to the weatherman, is going to be "significant" and we all know what that means - all Kdrama lovers that is - first snow, love love love, slipping, holding on to each other, first kiss, bladibladiblah. And for the record, I can already say "that fox's cucumber" and "I am not Brazilian" in Korean, so don't let communication issues concern you, you just worry about the kissing & holding, I'll do the rest.

So there. Hope to catch my very own handsome Kman later for kiss under first snow, that will certainly help me quit cigarettes at the very least.

Happy week, world, keep your brains ticking and do lots of kissing and laughing and all things sweet and funny. Oh, and happy New Year etc etc

KILLING BUTTERFLIES

 

[마이네임] Killing Butterflies | 최무진 윤지우 Choi Mujin Yoon Jiwoo

It's official, bye bye Holliwood.

SWEET SWEET DECEMBER

 Christmas coming early! one of the series that got me addicted to the K-word is back with a vengeance !! (and with some of my fav actors) not bad not bad.

Consulate  ✅

Sweet Home  ✅

and at this rate, hopefully,

Freaking Awesome Novel ✅

 안녕히 가십시오!! 

 

PS - and coming to think about it, sweet daddy, maybe I also owe this addiction to you, remember this? : 

 I am not complaining though, papa, thanks for making me the only human being never to be bored in the history of the talking monkeys !! if you are reading still, te echo mucho de menos.

 

 

 

DREAMS

 I have killed my dream. I had to, really, after realising I have been following the dream of a six-year-old all my life — just like Malifecent's minions searched for the same baby for sixteen years. 

I might be wrong — I was told recently I am always wrong — but from now I will  look for movie love where it belongs : in Korean series. Yep, I got myself another embarrasing addiction, but who can resist men prettier than the prettiest woman? Golly golly.

 PS - I hope you get better, World, the state you are in ...
