because dramas and wine go well together

I like Korean dramas. Sometimes I watch them while drinking wine

2PMathon Update: Week Three

July 24, 2020 by Jessie in music, dramas

I wasn’t as productive on the challenge this week as I thought I would be. I had some other things to watch and do, and it cut into my schedule. Not going to lie, I’m not having high hopes of being able to complete everything by next week…but we are still going to try.

Tasting Notes: Boyfriend

July 20, 2020 by Jessie in music, spotlight

There are some groups that I know in passing, and always say to myself that I’m going to deep dive more into them whenever I have the time. There are also some groups that I’ve known for a while, and then one day I become obsessed with and Boyfriend is currently that group. So I need to talk about them.

2PMathon Update: Week Two

July 17, 2020 by Jessie in music, dramas

Here we are in week two, and I feel highly accomplished, yet also like I’m completely failing. In exciting and happy news I finished Dream High! I did it! That was so hard, but I’m done and we can check it off the list. I’ve been making a lot of progress on Shall We Fall in Love as well. I’m on episode 18. I’ve been trying to make a push to get that one done. I sadly haven’t been able to start any other dramas for the challenge like I wanted to have done this week. Dream High took a lot out of me, I’m sorry.

July 10, 2020 by Jessie in music, dramas

I thought some updates on how my 2PMathon is going was in order. I’m going to try to do them on Fridays for the rest of the month, but I didn’t do one last week since it had been only three days into the challenge. Now that we’re ten days in I do have some things to talk about.

Favorite Kpop Debuts

July 06, 2020 by Jessie in music, lists

I thought it would be fun for this Music Monday post to list my favorite Korean debuts. No particular order, but just cause it seemed fitting I alternated between female/male. I rarely actually get into a group from the very beginning. These are the groups where I like their debut songs enough to put them in my playlist rotation.

As promised, here are some closeups. I got more cards than that is here, as you can see in the video, but decided to only focus on the DAY6 fanclub kit and Demon pulls.

2PMathon

June 24, 2020 by Jessie in music, currently watching

So I’m crazy and decided to do something in July, and you can join me if you want. I’m using readathon setups to dictate what dramas that I’ll watch. It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and have slightly worked this into readathons that I’ve done in the past by taking some of the prompts for what book to choose, and translated it to which drama was chosen, but I’ve never done it for just dramas alone. And I’ve never seen anyone else do it. I don’t necessarily keep up with readathons the way others do, but what I do really like about them is the challenge of fitting what to choose based on the rules. It helps when you are bad at making decisions. And if you are like me, sometimes you’re so bad at making drama decisions which then leads to just turning on Criminal Minds again for the fortieth time to not have to think.

The Olympic Games Readathon TBR

June 14, 2020 by Jessie in books

On the never-ending quest for getting books back into my life and now that I’m officially unemployed (till…May?), I’ve been searching for some upcoming readathons to fill my time. Readathons help me finding and making the time to read, and the prompts for what books I should pick usually are pretty fun and give me a direction. So as I was browsing I stumbled upon The Olympic Games readathon.

mixtape: chandeliers

June 01, 2020 by Jessie in music, playlist

I’m back with a brand new mixtape. Today, I present music videos featuring chandeliers. You’re welcome.

This one was hard because a lot of the groups had multiple chandelier options. I’m looking at you, Dreamcatcher. Also a good amount of the songs also feature clocks, and I almost made this a duo chandelier/clock list, but then it would have been an even longer one and I had to hold myself back. I guess now you know that a clock playlist will be in your future.

But really, this made an amazing list…so I also threw it up on Spotify. Does the theme make sense there? No, but it’s too good not to have it on all platforms.
