Writers Block

Well it had to happen sometime. I have nothing to rant about today. I'm not sure if this writers block is a natural occurance or if it has sprung from other frustrations.

Such as:

The inability to find a Taiwanese Soap Opera as charming as "Romantic Princess" or "Silence."

"Romantic Princess is about a girl who was sold on the black market as a baby after she was kidnapped from her Grandfather who is the richest man in all of Asia. Once she is found she is taken away from the people who raised her who, aside from buying a baby are really decent folks. She is brought to an absurdly large mansion and is strongly encouraged to marry one of her Grandfathers chosen successors. Insanity, pranks, backstabbing, and true love ensue. Seriously Ya'll Mr Darcy ain't got nothing on Jin, well except for the English accent.

"Silence" is about a girl who is mute after a terrible accident. While she is in the hospital there is a little boy who is also sick, despite having different backgrounds they become very close friends. Since the girl is mute they write letters to each other, one day they write special letters and put them in a secret spot in the hospita they vow to meet again some years later so that they can read them. The series follows what happens just before they are scheduled to meet each other again. Ok so it's sappy as hell ... but it's so beautiful *cries*

My Netflix randomly taking longer to arrive

My inability to think of any good Thanksgiving movie suggestions to hand out.

All I can think of is "Pieces of April." It's a good movie, but I know there must be more out there.

Inadvertently watching more then 10 minutes of one of the Christmas Movies playing on the Family Channel

It's not even thanksgiving yet and it seems as if they have been playing nothing but Christmas movies for the past two days, how is it even possible for them to make it all the way to christmas at this pace. To make matters worse all of them seem to be terrible, overly sappy, and with zero star power. So far the movies I have glanced at starred such talents as tony Danza and John Boy from "The Waltons."

Hopefully tomorrow I will have a few fresh new ideas to rant about.
