@nprofile1q... no, I hadn't seen that. I haven't seen as many Japanese shows because the romance ones tend towards rather passive woman leads and I'm not a fan of that.

@nprofile1q... I started watching "The Vacation Principle" on Netflix on Friday and then got confused because it was a jdrama but the male love interest was a Korean actor, but the character isn't Korean

@nprofile1q... I also like that the volunteers will explain idioms rather than localize to something generally western. Like referring to someone having a dragon face or cow eyes.

@nprofile1q... I'll be annoyed with Netflix kdramas when they won't subtitle the Konglish. The Viki volunteers will subtitle everything but professional translators assume we can understand the Korean pronunciations of English. I'm getting better at that but it was hard years ago.

@nprofile1q... oh, for fuck's sake, I'm so sorry, that's cruel of them.

@nprofile1q... I just watched the movie on Viki called "Pretty Crazy", which I assumed was a series but then it ended in under 2 hours. I liked it but it felt like tv that wrapped up quickly

@nprofile1q... I'll have to add it to my list

@nprofile1q... that is such a millennial thing to say

@nprofile1q... shit, Edmonton drew the short straw on weather this summer

@nprofile1q... Yeah, I could be better with the vegetable trimmings; I do freeze the green parts of leeks to be a flavouring in my chicken soup when I don’t have chopped leak (not a fan of onion in soup) but that’s it. I am limited here by a small fridge/freezer, and the local grocery stores catering to upwardly-mobile health-obsessed yuppies.

I’ve whined before at how my last move doubled my condo space but more than halved the kitchen. Can’t even fit a medium-sized pizza box in the fridge.

@nprofile1q... Back in 2020 I was trying out different ingredients for chicken soup, and a friend bugged me that using store-bought chicken broth was wrong and I needed to make my own with the bones of a roast chicken. So I followed the instructions he gave me, bought a bunch of vegetables and a roast chicken and cooked them for hours and… like, it definitely tasted better than the carton, but it was exhausting and expensive. It would maybe make sense to do some modified version of this if I normally bought roast chickens, but I don’t.
