Switch Play

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.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
