OK just as sex does not cure all ills neither does love or being in love excuse everything. My two particular favourites from the last years reading...

( Incest, Murder and True Love...sounds like the name of a band)... )

Actor Bae Soo-bin has decided to join the cast of a historial drama by famed producer Lee Byueong-hoon of hit TV series "Dae Jang Geum" and "Yi San", according to Bae's agency BH Entertainment on Tuesday.

BH explained that Bae, 33, will play the role of a swordsman who dedicates his life to protecting his love Dong Yi, played by actress Han Hyo-joo, in the TV series also tentatively titled "Dong Yi" in English.

The drama will be about the life of Dong Yi who grows up to become Choi Suk-bin, a consort of King Sukjong and the mother of King Youngjo during the Joseon Dynasty. Hallyu star Ji Jin-hee has been tapped to play the role of King Sukjong.

This will be Bae's second time working with Han -- they became two of the most sought-after actors and actresses in the entertainment industry for their role in drama "Shining Inheritance" earlier last year which ended its run with a 41.7 percent rating.

Bae's most recent drama "Temptation of an Angel" which ended in December also saw a successful run, with its ratings surpassing the 20 percent mark.

He will soon undergo training in swordsmanship for the drama set to go into shoot starting later this month.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has the Monica McCarty books, Highlander Unmasked (MacLeods of Skye Trilogy, #2) and Highlander Unchained (MacLeods of Skye Trilogy, #3)?
Any format is fine :).
Thanks heaps, in advance.

The time to say goodbye to SBS Family Outing is coming close, but it doesn’t look like our Sunday happiness will be in doom anymore. The list of the celebrities who have been offered to be cast in Family Outing Season 2 – which unfortunately will not include almost all of the original members, including MC Yoo Jae Suk (yes, it’s been confirmed again that he’s leaving for good) – has been unveiled. I gotta say, it looks pretty good.

follow him @ShinsFriends ^-^

 In the fallout I'll pick up the individual pieces of shrapnel and gently shape them together in the form of a heart. I'll leave it by your side so that when you wake up in the morning it will replace the one I unwillingly stole from you. It will consist of memories worth more than gold, kisses as soft as the beating of a butterfly's wings, and the expressions that you've given me while I tried my best to not fall in love with you.


Somebody stop me. However, I think this will be the last one of the night for my brain is running out of ink.

 It was a race against time and luck was on neither side. The ticking of the clock, like the heartbeat of a hummingbird echoed all around me, the sound of his footsteps seemingly vanishing into the earth. I hadn't the slightest idea of why we were running, I just knew that if I didn't start now I'll never find the time for it again, like so many sayings, opportunities, memories and tempos lost in the black hole that is regret. And while I ran I thought of the smell of crisp summer mornings, the bitter taste of lemonade washing down my throat, and the feel of pearly white linen dresses brushing against my thighs.

 She sat holding her cigarette and looking straight out of a 1940's post war film.
She sat cold and tired and restless from a day's work.
She sat with her head resting gently on her arms, tears like dew drops sleeping upon her thick, long mascara drained eyelashes.
She sat and she waited.

 I've noticed that some fandoms more than others are prone to having a plot that goes something like this:
1. two characters make a rather strange and implausible bet, (which is obviously because A wants to sex up B)
2. character B loses, and then has to be A's slave for a week or something like that
3. sex
(4. twu wuv)

The thing is, I often feel like these "bets" are nothing more than poorly-hidden plot contrivances. I know that some characters would probably be the betting type, but....
Just because they made a bet as an excuse to act OOC doesn't make your story plausible, especially when the fact that it's just a ploy to lead to eventual sex is pretty obvious to the reader from the get-go.  If you had them make a bet which was not completely ridiculous and overdone <small>(such as, oh, B IS A'S SLAVE FOR A WEEK)</small> and then showed a natural progression towards the relationship - fine. 
"But they made a bet!" is not actually a good enough excuse, most of the time.

Sometimes people write a oneshot with a cutesy title, and then it suddenly turns into a many-shot.  That's fine and dandy. The problem is that sometimes when you try to have your set of oneshots have a linked "theme" in their titles, it can get sort of ridiculous when you start running out of ideas, which leaves you posting what might be very nice stories with, frankly, stupid titles.
I honestly think it's better to leave out the cutesy theme and just give your stories decent titles, in the long run.  Just write "part of the ____ 'verse" or something, sheesh. 

2009's scary rookie girl group once again prevails on the charts. 2NE1 achieved #1 on Cyworld BGM Annual Top Songs Chart with 'I Don't Care', just surpassing 2009's top artists SNSD and G-Dragon. A few spots below at #5 is their collaboration CF song with Big Bang 'Lollipop'.

2NE1 also holds a few more spots in this Top 100 chart, with Bom's You and I at #11, Fire at #14, In The Club, CL & Minzy's Please Don't Go, and Let's Go Party at #36, #65, and #96 respectively.




2007 and 2008 belonged to also YG Entertainment as Big Bang took the #1 spot respectively for 'Lies' and 'Haru Haru'.

“Edgy” 2NE1, will they continue their “big hit” trend in 2010?
2009, a year when girl power swept through the Korean music scene, a 4 member girl group, 2NE1, with a different concept than [of the] typical girl group came into the Korean Music scene.

In 2009 new girl groups such as 4minute, Secret, Rainbow, F(x), T-ara, etc debuted saying that they would ‘appeal [the public] with a different color than that of the typical girl groups [of the past]’ but none of them have been able to show as much difference as 2NE1.

2NE1 was not to be belittled from the start. These girls were a hot topic on the internet café’s with the title “female Big Bang” long before they debuted. And on top of that, this female idol group was created by Big Bang’s company, YG Entertainment.

Each member also gained much attention. Sandara Park (27 years old) was as famous [in the Phillippines] known to be the ‘Philippine Boa’, Park Bom (27 years old) worked together with Lee Hyori and Lee Junki during the AnyCall CF. The youngest Gong Minzy (17 years old) gained attention by being the granddaughter of a [famous] Korean traditional dancer Gong Ok-Jin and although young, CL (20 years old) the leader called much attention [to herself] by having superior rapping skills.

 "I love them. Out of all the bugs in the world they're my favorite." Misha tapped on the glass, the vibration causing the orchid praying mantis to stir, it's antennae slicing through the air, threatening whatever invisible force to come out and face its death.

Today we had cut fourth period and the following classes like delinquent children, believing that we were making a statement against the man. It wasn't difficult, all we had to do was fake a stomach ache and when we were sent to the nurse we'd cut across campus and meet by the big oak tree that marked the entrance to the school, it's tall boughs shadowing all that it could reach as if saying, "Here I am, old and decrepit, reaching for life and yet growing older."

We raced to the zoo. On a count of three, one, two, go! and didn't stop until we zoomed past all of the exotic animals, our race finally coming to a close in the slightly deserted bug section. I was a little unsettled because I was surrounded by tiny creatures with so many legs and here I was, out of breath and with a girl that I've fallen in love with staring rapturously at a tiny white praying mantis with fuchsia dyed feet.

Misha turned her wide, wide, wider yet green eyes onto me and gave me a sheepish grin. "But if one suddenly appeared out of nowhere I'd probably kill it."

Dear "author":

Normally when people post things on Fanfiction.net, they are (as the name of the site implies) works of fanfiction. Posting a "story" that is not actually a story at all but rather a request for other people to spam you with ideas so that you can use them is not the purpose of the site. You want to brainstorm? Get a beta, because when I am looking for fic to read, I don't want to have my time wasted when I read through a summary and it says you have been "struggling to come up with an idea for a story for months." I do not care. I'm here to read fic, not help you come up with an idea for one.

XOXO
