because there just isn't anything else...

Okay. I think I got it. I'm pretty sure that my sincere like of Korean TV shows is the fact that there is nothing else to watch on American TV. Okay, there are a few that I enjoy: Castle, Eureka, Psych, Bones and Warehouse 13. But even those sometimes are a bit on the TMI side. I really like the clever. It seems as though the US has substituted clever with the raunchy and bathroom humor-esque. The profanity is bad too. As a writer, I understand the use of profanity in certain situations really DOES add to the plot, character, etc., but when profanity is used instead of good dialog...it's just stupid. It makes me feel like the writers of the show think I'm too stupid to understand a more intelligent word, so they threw in f-bomb or an s-bomb to get the point across without too much brain strain on their part. I'm only watching the show to look at the hot guy anyway, right? At 34, I do have other things to do. If I want to see a hot chick, I can look in the mirror (oh yes I did), and since I have the good fortune to be married to a hottie, I don't need a TV for eye candy. With K-TV, since they are more conscience of not showing too much skin, we don't have practically rated R love scenes on 8 PM television. (Just for the record, I've never really been about PDA...I'm not really about watching it for fun.) So here it is: the writing is clever (not always, but if it's not clever it's funny), the love scenes are sweet not do-they-know-their-moms-can-see-that?, and yes the actors are good looking but man are they skinny. Must not like fried chicken in Korea..hmmmm. Pity.

Jen cold...brrrr!

Seriously, how do Alaska people do it? I'm freezin'! It's not even snowing! My up north family must be Yetis or something...that would explain a lot actually...I digress. I'm realizing just how much our comfort levels are managed by how hot or cold we are. Back in the day, you just were hot but killed the chicken, or you were cold, but milked the cow. Now, it seems impossible to even think about doing the dishes if your hands are going to be cold. What has happened to us? To make matters worse, the dishes refuse to wash themselves because the water isn't hot enough. It's madness I tell you. Plus, isn't this Florida? Where's my heat dang it?! Global warming my tooshie. On the bright side, it is the weather for boots, and I do love me some boots. Alright cold weather. You can hang out for just a little bit longer because I just got some new boots for Christmas. Thanks Grandma Jo! You rock! Man, I'm cold. I need a Ring Pop...
