Are You Human Too? is a Korean television SF show that tells the story of an android taking the place of his human twin, the heir to a chaebol (rich family) conglomerate. Nam Sin (the human) is badly injured during an assassination attempt and ends up in a coma. While enemies plot to kill Sin and take over the corporation, his robot alter must step into his shoes to hold his place in the hierarchy, and learn what it means to be human.

I discovered this show via a bunch of fanmade videos on Youtube that really intrigued me. Sadly I couldn't find it on Netflix, so I invested in the DVD version. It's going to take me a while to watch all 36 episodes, but so far it's been definitely worth the price. Seo Kang-Joon, the actor who plays both the android and the human, is totally convincing as two different versions of the same man. Lots of fun and action and romance, and some interesting special effects, too.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Of Kork

On the second day of March I overslept. I spent ten hours sleeping, which is very unusual for me. This is because I've suffered from insomnia most of my life, but since making significant changes (like acquiring my current day job, which allowed me to escape all the toxic people I had to deal with in my old job) I sleep much better. These days I usual manage six or seven hours sleep, and if I'm very lucky eight. But ten? I sleep that much only a couple times a year, and generally only when I'm sick. Dreams might be to blame. I remember the night was filled with them, all lovely. I traveled across Europe, I walked the streets of old cities and met lots of interesting people. In one city I stopped by an engagement party where a very attractive couple were exchanging signed contracts. The groom showed me his, and I read these words: "Course shall become Kork." I understood then that they meant to be together forever, and that it was a reincarnation co...
