Free time


I nipped on my food and watched both Harry Potter 5 and 6, 5 on youtube, and 6 on baidu.
then I started on the new series of Let's Watch Meteor Rain, a mandarin drama that only had 6 episodes uploaded. If there were like 24 episodes uploaded, I probably would have watched the entire thing. It was very good acting.

It made me want to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows again. The ideas embedded in these dramas/ movies were pretty addictive. The themes of love, courage, friends and you against the dark forces, pride, self-esteem, determination and self-respect were very nicely portrayed.

But when it comes down to it 80% of Hollywood drama/ Billboard songs have content theme of love in there, it kind of makes me nuts sometimes. Like a lot of Beyonce and other artist's songs, it's a lot of stuff about love relationships. It drives me crazy how art can be purely made based on the same central emotion/ feeling over and over again.
