Little bit of a ramble
Two of the many things I'm interested in: voice-acting, and translation between English and Chinese. For the former, well, I'm interested in acting/theatre in general, but in the second half of 2021, I got really into voice acting, even taking two lessons from professionals. As for translation, well I think I demonstrated enough on my Tumblr lol
And here's the thing:
When I still used Prime for RWRB, I played around listening to different language dubs to listen to the differences in intonation and delivery
I was reminiscing on this earlier for some reason, and then I realized
None of the boys' projects: RWRB, The Kissing Booth, Mary and George etc, none of them have Chinese/Mandarin dubs.
Then I thought...maybe, when I get my own life sorted out and have the time to do so, I can try to make Mandarin fan dubs of them? At least some of the rwrb moments and the Mary and George Trailer?
Just an idea :)

Dark Matter: A Ghost Story (Michelle Paver, 2010)
A Head Full of Ghosts (Paul Tremblay, 2015)
I’ve read 73 books this year. Many many books I did not finish and abandoned (i always get between 50-200 pages in to give it a real chance but I don’t believe in reading things I don’t enjoy), so ive actually consumed quite a bit more than 73 books. I did read a lot of dumb, trashy horror and thriller novels. Sometimes I don’t have the energy to read something intelligent and just need something easy. But that really bumps up my read count.
Favourite Albums:
Every year all I listen to are the same albums on repeat and I have a really hard time getting into new music. But this year I was especially into:
Joanna Newsom - Divers (previously I did not enjoy this album of hers but I have come around to it)
Shirley Collins - Adieu to Old England
Shirley Collins - Sweet England

Why do Rick and Evie from The Mummy remind me so much of Inuyasha and Kagome?
I mean, look at the first movie. The mutual pining, the drunk flirting, the rescuing each other, daring adventures where they fall in love, share a passionate kiss in the end. Inukag all the way. 💕
The second movie? Going on another adventure for their kid? Being still so madly in love after so many years, the trust they have in each other, the heartache when the other is threatened with death? Chef’s kiss.😘
now, I'm having ideas to write my own mummy au InuKag Fic. 😂
