Saturday Poetry Corner 19: I sit beside the fire and think

 

Lord of the Rings is filled with poems and songs, crafted meticulously to fit the scene or a character. They're beautiful. And yet this little one is also one of the saddest.

[Advent drama calendar 2019] Day 23: Which Character Did You Prefer?

 

If I had to choose just one - and now, people, just hold on to your hats - I would choose Jeon Nokdu. For various reasons.

Saturday Poetry Corner 18: [Miscellanea: "Winter Poems"]


The first one is an obvious choice. The second one is not so obvious, being that comes from a new poet. And the third one is only for the toughest of you.


[Advent drama calendar 2019] Day 21: Favorite Song


I actually presented some of my favorite songs from different soundtracks of this year.
But one is probably my ultimate - I listened to it the most.

[Advent drama calendar 2019] Day 20: Which Character Would You Like To Meet?


I would lie if I didn't say Nokdu, but for the sake of keeping this blog diverse, I will play along and say it's someone else. See, this even makes me rhyme.

[Advent drama calendar 2019] Day 19: What Drama You Wanted To Watch But Ended Up Disappointed?

[Advent drama calendar 2019] Day 18: Whom You Identify With?


I usually don't identify with any character, not to the point I am trying to find my own reflection in somebody else. I may like somebody and understand their motivation but they are not my mirrors. If that was the case, I'd have to identify with THE horse Maximus from Tangled, you know...
But if we're talking about some similar feelings I see in a character (be it any gender, honestly. Or a species) then I think this year's winner is clear.
And no, it's not Nokdu.
But...

[Advent drama calendar 2019] Day 17: Series You Loved That No One Talked About


That would be without a doubt Elementary. I know only one person who watched it and loved it and that's it. 
But then again, I wasn't that much online so maybe some messages just went past me unknown.
