Linkage: KDramas, LJ Smith, knitting, race, manga, gender

• desdenova has started to watch Damo! Whoo! I pet my shiny new obsession and beam as it spreads. Come on, people, make me feel better -- who else is out there watching kdramas?
  
  My current kdrama sources are meganbmoore, shewhohashope, rilina, vonnie_k, The Stack, Dramabeans, and of course d-addicts for information.


• For the other Sekrit LJ Smith fans out there, shewhohashope pointed me at this. New short stories! And a promise that Strange Fate is not dead yet.


• I'm not blogging about elections because most of the press surrounding them make me blow my top. Also, I assume everyone's already reading delux_vivens, but for those who aren't, she has been posting a lot of articles and links about Obama and race.


• Via rilina, who already highlighted Asia Pacific Arts' best music of 2007: best Asian films, best Asian-American films (I really want to see Munyurangabo now), best wordsmiths, and top 10 places to see Asian films in CA (most in Bay Area and LA). I'm just sad there aren't more in Bay Area and even more jealous of rachelmanija and her LA-ness.


• I've long been frustrated by the lack of visibility of non-East-Asian knitters of color in the knit blogosphere -- I'm sure POC knitters are there, but their blogs and designs and culture definitely get much less focus if they're not East Asian. So I was delighted when SistahCraft pointed out Black Purl Magazine and its venture into the print world.


• And David Welsh gives a wonderfully snarky tip sheet for journalists writing about women in comics. I hope they read it and actually listen.

I tend to forget that people don't read my mind and instantly realize what I'm reading; is anyone interested in knowing my blogroll? Also, since I can't telepathically figure out what you guys are reading, what are some of your favorite blogs?
