Days like today have made it obvious how dark my south facing living room gets... depressing. At least I'm not looking at a grey brick wall like the ground floor apt.
Forgot that S2 of Pachinko came out a few months ago. That's my afternoon sorted. Was scrabbling around for a tv show that didn't involve mind games or violence or anything too out there, this is just what I needed.
It's a bit morbid but I LOVE eating lunch/dinner while watching this show, because all the WW1/WW2 era scenes — where food is scarce and everyone is living a hardscrabble life — make me appreciate my food and modern comforts so much more. To freely enjoy white rice and an abundance of vegetables and spices and oils. Kind of reminds me of my mum's generation watching Oshin and enduring the years of civil war and rationing at home. Did they ever show Oshin in Australia?
