Things that make me happy

The first teaser for Kim Nam Gil’s new drama Island.

It looks amazing and I can’t wait to watch it.


My Yuletide assignment – the writing goes slowly but well.


Speaking of writing - I wrote one treat for Trick or Treat Exchange. It’s a Ma Han/Chen Jiayi fic. I planned two treats, but RL interfered and I only wrote around 500 words of the second fic, before I gave up on it. But I plan to finish it, too, it will probably take a while, though.

KinnPorsche actors – looking at Bible’s, Build’s or Jeff Satur’s beautiful faces always cheers me up. See for yourself behind the cut below. :)

And last but not least, another tidbit from that post about translation I still haven’t written. :)

MIODZIE, JESTEM DOMEM! ALBO: PIĘTRO INNEJ MIŁOŚCI (ANOTHER LOVE STORY) GRA W JEDNYM POSTĘPKU by Stanisław Barańczak. About dangers of too literal translation - but it will be funny only to people who know both Polish and English.

I’m re-reading Barańczak’s Pegaz Zdębiał and the chapter where he translates Polish idoms literally into English as always made me laugh until my stomach hurt.

A few of my favorites behind the cut.
