So...I just finished epi 1....it was ...okay. I mean it took me more than 1 1/2 hr to watch it because I couldn&#039;t get into it. I paused it and went over to my Hubby and chatted about daily mundane ( which caught him by surprise..&quot;who are you, lady?..you couldn&#039;t be my wife...she never talk with us after dinner because the laptop and her become 1...we never dare to talk to her because she would give us the stink eye...he he)
Anyhoo, I hope the drama gets better. I got to say though, LBH is cute- the typical bad boy (looove the shooting range part...classic bad boy&#039;s move)</description>

We had a Betamax, too.  And it was the most awesome device.  The triumph of the VHS is a technological shame for the human race.  You reminded me, we recorded on our Beta, and we finally had no choice but to switch to VHS, cuz they didn&#039;t sell Betas anymore and ours was on its last legs (thanks to copious drama and Robotech watching).  I ended up recording all our Beta Robotech tapes into VHS format, upon which our long-suffering Beta which served us so well promptly got up, shook its fist, and then self-combusted.

@ langdon-unni

Unni is spreading the cheer, and its contagious.  I&#039;m grinning ear to ear.

@ cingdoc

I wrote my Nora-Bora or Bora-Nora story in less than 5 minutes with non-stop typing and shouting over my shoulder &quot;Go to sleep....if I have to go over there.....&quot; at the boy koala in bed.  Can you tell how much I missed you guys and OT?  :-)</description>

BTW, @langdon( when you read this tomorrow morning, feeling more sober)
I just love how you kept using AWESOME ....( hey , it could be worse...like a foul word), he he ;)</description>

Love your story! :P

My brother and I were glued to the couch for every episode of Robotech when it originally aired. We didn&#039;t record it - I think this was before we got our Betamax (yes, we had a Betamax long before we got a VHS). But it was our crack.

@ langdon813

Unnie&#039;s been swimming in the AWESOME SAUCE...in fabulous boots! :P

@ Samsooki

This noona (not &lt;i&gt;nuna&lt;/i&gt;) says you must watch CITC. :P</description>

See, that&#039;s what everyone THINKS, but the truth is that all of that was nothing but an article in a newspaper, while the real Bora is alive and well and waiting for me to cough up enough cash to get us both to Korea (thank God she knows the language, what with all the -sshi&#039;s and -ah&#039;s and -nim&#039;s and OMG). There she will finally reunite with her beloved math professor (and reintroduce her killer wardrobe to a more suitable climate). 

Also, in a beautiful moment of serendipity, surrounded by a plethora of Kpop idols to serenade the occasion, Lee Min-ki will finally meet his I LUB YOU (who is ME, ME, ME, ME)! 

So let it be written. So let it be done.

 And I just bastardized Lovers in Paris (kinda)  AND Cecil B. Demille&#039;s Ten Commandments, so...I WIN!</description>

		<description>On top of being beauty queen and popstar... I asked my bro and my hubby the allure of Lin MM:

She took a shower and she&#039;s naked.  (yup, &#039;full of life and hope and bubbles and glitter&#039;) ;)

So yes, it&#039;s of utmost importance she has a brain, can string tog words and sing a tune or 2.</description>

		<description>@ my dearest sweetest tipsiest langdon-unni

In the season of holiday cheer - I must tell you, the Bora with you was the Bora of Christmas past.  In all her glorious phantomy self.  ;-)   

I tease, I tease, if you got Bora in physical form besides you, then it was Bora&#039;s given up for adoption older by 5 minutes twin because her daddy was poor when she waz born, and her mommy died giving birth to the twins, and the younger twin Bora got entangled up in the umbilical cord so has a heart problem, and the poor daddy now with 3 kids can&#039;t afford to raise then since Bora needs extra money and care, so he gives up the older and healthy twin to a lovely American couple visiting from Mississippi, who promptly leaves Korea and returns to grande ole MS with their bundle of joy they name Nora (whoah with the coincidences), who grows up sweet, caring, considerate, warm to others, and one days encounters you at a Christmas party.  And you mistake her for Bora, especially since she has a special speech impediment whereby when she pronounces N&#039;s, it sounds like B&#039;s.  Plus you&#039;re totally drunk so you are hearing out of one ear anyway.  So you think Nora is Bora.

And Nora will soon meet a certain disheveled Korean math professor at a hotel in Vegas, become intrigued with him, cross paths, then she gets hired to do a major M&amp;A takeover of a Korean University, so she returns to Korea to help with the acquisition, lives at the faculty dorms of the University, sees the professor name Tae-woong is teaching there, and embarks on her journey to find her birth parents.  TW is torn between his dead love Bora and look-a-like Nora, who turns out to be twins.  Oh, and I just bastardized Hotelier and What Star are You From, and it feels so good.

Like my story?</description>

IRIS IS AWESOME.

So many ajusshis, so little time...

@ samsooki

CITC IS AWESOME. 

This drama has samsooki written all over it. Stop resisting and just give in. You don&#039;t have to recap it, but you do have to watch it. Don&#039;t make me pull the &quot;I&#039;m your noona&quot; card. I don&#039;t know if hjkomo is your noona, but I know she&#039;ll back me up on this. And while you&#039;re at it, you need to convince JB to finish it, too. ;-) 

@ belleza

YOUR GO SOO IS AWESOME. 

After the twins arrive, I&#039;ll be expecting more good news almost immediately. Have them all close together, I say.

@ ockoala

YOU ARE AWESOME. KB SAID SO...

So glad you&#039;re back in the land of crack and non-productivity. It just ain&#039;t the same without you, little sister. 

***

This post has been brought to you by the, ahem...AWESOME cocktails I had at a Christmas party tonight. From which I returned home over an hour ago, if that tells you anything, like how many times I had to retype this to make it coherent. I&#039;ll probably reread it tomorrow and cringe...and yes, I do get bossy when I drink. :-D

By the way, Bora was with me tonight...safe and sound, and we both wore fabulous boots.</description>
