LOOKING FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER
This week, I was invited to eat at Master Noodles on University in Saint Paul. This is a nice little Chinese restaurant that has noodles spun from long ropes. I literally watched the chef cut the noodles and it was amazing!
Yesterday, I went to a writers/Actors gathering in my area and we wrote monologues for actors. I've been there several times but this time I noticed how people were addressing the monologue. These monologues were
-Pep talks
-Conversation in your head about a sales clients in Halloween stores.
-That time someone remembered creating their own home-made Halloween costume with duct tape.
This is my Grateful list
-Grateful for that moderator who conducted a talk that centered around, who is waiting for you when you come home at night
-Grateful for friends inviting me to eat in their homes
-Grateful for people who cut my brand new carpet (smells great btw)
-Grateful for the person who helped me take out the old carpet
-Grateful for people who liked some of my contributions about motivational quotes
That's my week. Tell me about yours in the comments below.

Be Melodramatic
In this K-Drama Jin-joo is a writer who gets her first chance to write a 16-episode television series and, in the process, falls for her director, Son Beom Soo (Ahn Jae-hong), and he for her, although not without a number of prickly moments. As Jin-joo writes the show and Beom-soo develops it, their personal and professional lives intertwine in unexpected ways.
This is like a film within a film, because the writer characters will be discussing the series they are writing and then other actors will reenact the drama as the writers envision it happening. There are some really quirky characters in this one and fantastic ideas. Like I remember the director was pulling his romantic interest in a electric wagon and it was so cute!
Summer Strike is about people who start finding themselves after leaving their lifestyles in a complicated city, and moving to an unfamiliar place to do nothing.
I like this drama because the main character leaves Seoul to live in a smaller city and start over and she moves into a building that is haunted and the people in the city hate her for moving there and she feels like she is affecting everyone involved but she plows through with her decision and it really shows some intense moments that would make most people run for the hills.
I chose to watch unlocked because it has the same character from Melodramatic, Jin-Joo and I really loved her acting. There are some very scary moments-the main character sees someone entering her home with a personal code, and I sat there assuming it was an assailant and then was completely caught off guard.
