Coffee House

H. takes it all back. Coffee House (k-drama) is FABU!
After weathering the emotional shitstorm that was ep 10, it pulled out and up in ep 11 and 12, did a slingshot, and tops as the goofiest, then angstiest, keeps you guessingest thing evar... danku danku danku

Sex and an Old Coat

Some of our friends (E. and E.) think Emily might be a boy, and are concerned. Mostly, what Mommy and Daddy got were some really interesting images from the internet (not of puppies), when typing in the search words: "puppy," "sex," and "genitalia."

It's not that easy--balls drop at 6 months (tee hee). This page tells you how to check. Nope, still can't tell. We'll ask the vet next week.

Mommy was going to devote this post to queries on Puppy Gender.

But then, she found Emily's old, new coat in her crate, and wheee! We had fun with clothes! (this just shows Mommy is a girl. Ha ha, Judith Butler!)

Daddy bought her the coat when she was 8 weeks (because it was COLD, and she had to go out to potty), and now at 13 weeks, she finally grew into it. But of course she hates it:

Too bad, puppy. Mommy's the boss, ok?

[Aaaak!]

We went outside to try it out.

TV: Oi. Boys Before Flowers (ep 11&12) landed H. in rant-land all morning, frothing from teh sTOopiD. Also because 잔디 reminds her of one of her dumber cousins.

What H. wants to happen (also with 10 episodes less than planned): 잔디&준표 are stupid. Again. Ergo, they die. Skip the Funeral Scene. Flowers grow over Boys. The End.

Indoor Activities

On rainy days, Emily digs up the mud in the garden. Then she digs up the chair Mommy sits in:

She also cruises the Internet when Mommy's trying to work:

So, we go dancing, instead:

[Yes, she ends it with a kiss.]
She likes it better with Daddy:

Listen carefully. M.'s tooting one of those songs from Boys Before Flowers. He does it all day. It's driving H. nuts.

While Hana Yori Dango is getting more fun, Boys Before Flowers꽃보다 남자 has hit the 10 Ep Curse of Boring. 11 was an absolute SNOOZER. H. almost fell asleep while subbing. They really should have made this 12 eps total, instead of 16.

Maltese Halo

Evidently, Maltese dogs have this dark pigment around their eyes, giving them an "intense soulful" look, the Maltese Halo. The Malt sites say it comes in gradually, sometimes not at all.

Her right eye started "going black" at 9 weeks. At first H. thought she might have an eye infection -- it was a tiny speck. Now it's like half-finished eyeliner:[Look carefully. Yes, H. spends hours staring at her tiny dog's face.]

Not yet for her left eye. There's a spot starting at the outside corner:[Looks like pink eye]

Of course, you can't tell when she's sleeping:

In TV watching, H&M, while waiting for (K)Boys over Flowers꽃보다 남자, are also watcing (J)Hana Yori Dango, side by side, to fulfill wacky TV needs. H&M tried it out a year ago, and absolutely hated it (the cowering, the victim mentality, the @%$^!)

But now that we know "what happens," we grit our teeth through eps 1-2, and it started growing on us by 3-4. Yay! It should have tighter storytelling, in any case.

Things we've learned:
1) H. likes stupid boys. Absolute bastards become endearing if they're airheads. (note: 현실무관)
2) M. is a well-trained slasher -- the Domyouji-Rui goodbye scene at the airport was pure gold for Teh GAY.

sidenote: for (K)BBF, potter-playboy role 김범, weirdly in real life, has been in yet another car accident. That's the second this month. Despite hasty conclusions, he's not a speed maniac. His agency drives him around, and the manager was nodding off at the wheel.
Spells dire forebodings for his character. Might have to be unexpectedly killed off in storyline.

Plans and Rainy Day Lizards

Emily walks like a trooper at the CS department -- the corridors are a connected square, so we did two rounds last weekend. But once we're home, she's thinks she's too good for the leash.

We're starting puppy classes this Saturday -- first drop by to see if they're all right, not violent or shouty. In Dutch. This time she won't be the only one hearing, "blah blah blah blah blah, SIT, blah blah blah blah blah SIT!"

In person news, H&M are crazy addicted to Boys Before Flowers (꽃보다 남자). Ep 9 was cheesy but so much fun. 구준표 being a goofy idiot is priceless. Ep10, not quite the best, but worth it for the Battle of the Moms.

H. had to decline the invitation to sub 돌아온 일지매 with a group. Looks like fun, but got no time.
--
It's raining out. H. wanted to shop around for another Greenie Alligator or a proper Pig's Ear Chewie, but will have to postpone.

[Rainy Days, stay inside and gnaw on a lizard]

Drags them to her Secret Lair.

... and we never see them again... and again.

Work is proceeding much slower than usual, now that H. is subbing Boys Before Flowers/꽃보다 남자 herself, for M. to watch, as we cannot wait for the subbing team releases. It's no fun watching something this ridiculous/goofy by myself.

Though, when he's on 6am Potty Duty, I find M. watching old BBF eps over and over again by himself, and chortling.

Sleep Sunday

Emily was perfect on the leash, today. We walked two rounds in the CS building, and she was trotting around pretty proud of herself.

As usual, she freaked in the crate on the drive over and back. Then fell asleep at home.

[How can you sleep like that?/ 안 불편해?]

I can't stand it myself, so I have to nudge her back up to the center.

H&M are currently enjoying 꽃보다 남자/Boys Before Flowers. Though I usually like J-doramas, Hana Yori Dango didn't work for me (too much grovel/stifle @ the beginning), but this one does (slightly different set-up).

The girl is extra spunky, the boy reveals his doofusness, pretty quick (구혜선 is cute, 이민호 is greasy good-looking). So far, an 8 episode marathon, and multiple re-watch. Tee hee.
