rosdrise | I'm a painting machine

I was super productive this past weekend. I got both my kitchen and bedroom painted, which is something I've been wanting to do since I moved in. The kitchen is now two shades of yellow, darker below the chair rail and lighter above. It's very cheerful now and makes me happy whenever I go into the room. The counters are still a hideous green and I still only have two square feet of counter space, but at least it's cute now. The bedroom in grey and thankfully now as dark as I was worried it might turn out. If anything it's lighter because the satin sheen of the paint reflects light a lot more than the flat white did. It's very peaceful and now I need to get some art on the walls. And maybe get a green lampshade? WHO KNOWS.

Thankfully it wasn't insanely hot. I don't have air conditioning, so that was a major concern. It wasn't exactly pleasant, but no one passed out.

I also finally managed to finished Prosecutor Princess which has just been sitting on my hard drive for what seems like forever. I just couldn't seem to muster up any interest in it. I didn't think they did a very good job of making the mystery interesting. At least with Ryusei no Kizuna the build-up was pretty good, even if I thought the payoff was kind of lame. Here, I just wanted it to end so Hye Ri could be happy already. The last 20 minutes with Hye Ri copying everything In Woo had said to her from the beginning was adorable though. I wish they had played with her photographic memory more.

I also watched the finale of Tsuki no Koibito... ugh. I got the ending I wanted, but the journey there was just so pointless. I think the disconnect came from not really knowing who Rensuke was. All we were ever introduced to was the cold-hearted executive. I wanted him to fail because he was a dick. It's hard when that is one half of the love equation. I wish Xiu Mei had stuck to her revenge plan, because I didn't buy her truly falling for Rensuke, unless she really was a moron. And what was Kazami's deal? He just wanted to win for the sake of winning?... ok?

Yuzu kind of broke my heart in the end. I think I might had liked her characterization the most. She was a strong, sometimes prickly girl but still had this capacity for love that was just so misdirected. I loved when she clapped for Rensuke before his presentation. It was too cute. Of course, I just think Kitagawa Keiko is adorable beyond words.

I hope this upcoming jdrama season won't be such a bitter disappointment (still waiting for subs on the last ep of the twitter drama... yeah... I'm sticking it out until the end with that one too).

ETA: Roy was wearing this Dinosaur Comics t-shirt on this week's episode of The IT Crowd. LOL
