Procrastination Is My Friend

Obligatory Yet Happily Supplied DL5 Spazzing Post

2008-08-19T18:27:54Z

I think that was the sparkliest, crackiest, funniest, most amazing thing I've seen in my life. It blew my brains out.

But first!

I bought a fancy new pen yesterday.

It's actually a 4GB USB stick! :3 I showed it around today and everyone was impressed. 8D *is shallow* I've wanted to get a USB stick AND a fancy pen for some time now. I love it already. ♥ And because I give all my electronic devices names, I shall call it Mr. Nakagauchi, to go with Baba, my iPod. ♥

Oh, Tenimyu. What would I be without you. ♥ ♥

Soooo.
I don't know where to start. I regret having watched it a lot later than I could have, but as I mentioned previously, WoW is kind of eating my time. I should really do something about that, seeing as I'm back in school 'n all. 8D
ANYWAYS. On Sunday I downloaded it, carted it over to my old, decrepit PC to put together (damn you, HJsplit! *shakes fist*) and sadly couldn't transfer it back to my Mac because I was using my sister's 1GB sticky, which didn't *quite* hold it. A situation which has been remedied. ♥ So I watched it (with my sister) with tinny USB speakers on the PC. AND IT STILL KILLED ME.
No Myu in history has ever rendered me so incoherent. Really. Not even DL3, and that's saying something. o_O My personal favorite bits were these (watch as my coherence dwindles):

~~• Every single damn second of it~~
• Dai-chan flying - I really hope he got paid more for that or something! Seriously, 30 feet high and one measly strap to hold him in? O_O
• Yes, I have! No, I haven't!
• Yagami BITING HIS LIP WHILE REACHING FOR KANE-CHAN
• LUKE IN THE PURPLE HAMMOCK wearing chucks/converse/all stars/whatever you prefer to call them
• Renn doing the "FAIYAAA! Eeeexcellent~" for Jutta <3
• Rainbow lights at their absolute gayest
• THEY HAD FREAKIN' FLAMES! Like, in Aoku Moeru Honoo and was it Fuurinkazan?
• Everyone and his brother getting to stylishly sashay down the catwalk
• IREI GOT A SOLO
• IREI SOUNDED LIKE KERMIT
• Kane-chan stretching
• Finally more of Hirata! HOTTTTT.
• Had I mentioned I love Shougo?
• THE PIRATES sahaksfdkjshd HAYASHINO I LOVE YOU. HIJIRI YOU ARE SO CUTE. LUKE YOU ARE ASFASDHADFGHADFHADFHDFAHDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
• THE PIMPS. Seriously. That was my absolute favorite. So amazing. The hats. The boa. The scarves. The necklaces. The jackets. THE GLASSES. Is it just me or do orange-tinted glasses look great with Niou's hair color?
Also, their dance was REALLY COOL. Like, DL3-Ruirui-Takuya-dance-like cool. One of the coolest dances I've seen in Tenimyu.
What are other really cool Tenimyu dances? I mean, not dorky, but just really WOW?
• The Regulars, Aoku Moeru Honoo, Ore wa Mamushi, Juuden Kanryou, Golden Pair... did I miss anything? The Myu!oldies, anyways.
• TOMO ROCKING THAT MAMUSHI DANCE.
• TOMO STARTING TO CRY AND THE FIVE-MINUTE CLOSE UP OF HIS FACE safhjdsgfasjhgf
• TOMO
• The 20s feathered headbands and matching bows - Renn's was gold! 8D
• Sorry Saitou, you still can't dance
• MAMO
• I think Juri's hair was five times bigger than in YamabukiMyu
• ERIITO JA NAI!
• SHOUGOOOO
• FURUKAWAAAAA
• Those flowers were EATING UP their chests
• The opening dance
• Matsuzaki's shark
• we r pastede on!Higa
• HIGA
• SANAYUKI LOVE (it's in the Myus. It's undeniably in the Myus.)
• GENKI. GENKI DOING ANYTHING.
• Ogasawara's handful of glitter
• Ogasawara's marriage proposal (+glitter) to Furukawa
• Yagami's way of wearing his jacket so it makes it look like he has no arms. Consequently, his last line in Kimi o Shinjiteru has been changed from dakara ore wa~ iku yo~ to but life's okay~ without my arms~ by me and my sister.

And much, much more.
I want one of Higa's pirate flags to hang over my bed.
I want Baba and Masa to have more let's-grab-each-other dances.

All in all, ♥ ♥ ♥, so I suppose it's a mission accomplished for Ueshima & friends. :DDD

You Got Snuff On Your Plums!

2008-08-04T14:08:25Z

Thanks to not-so-endless nagging and a lucky coincidence of temporary idealess-ness, my wonderful sister omelton wrote a little Tango Pair ficlet for me. ♥ Inspired by Bill Bailey, I gave her the prompt "off-shore wind farms".

So, without further ado, I present to you Off-shore Wind Farms (G).

The summer has been long and stifling, but not long enough for his tastes. Soon he must trade in his few leisure hours between practice and private exam prep for the stricter regimen of the autumn semester, and though it is his creed to make everything look effortless, he knows it will be hard work. Hard balancing the required academic excellence with his passion for tennis, hard representing his family socially when his parents again leave the country on short notice, hard to find time to breathe away from the knotwork of duties and obligations he has been raised into.
The sole heir to the Atobe fortune sits on a slab of rock festooned with carbuncles, his feet trailing in the sand, his hand resting on a slightly larger palm than his own. He glances aside to see his companion looking dourly at the horizon, straight black hair blown in and out of his eyes as the wind sees fit.
“An hour until sundown,” Atobe says, locating the sun, pendulous and orange to the west. Sanada brushes his hair back with one hand, the other tightens its grip on Atobe’s. His gaze is still fixed far ahead, past the dotting of tiny pale sails, on the wheeling shapes that hang high above the bay.
“I want to see you in the autumn,” he says, his voice quiet and clear, and Atobe wishes he would turn his head, not sit like a hewn statue with his hair the only unsettled thing.
“I will arrange a time.” Atobe’s thoughts briefly touch on afternoons away on a pretense of club matters, weekends in town avoiding business luncheons. He doesn’t trust any of the family drivers; he will have to consider other transportation.
“I want to see you often.” Sanada is looking at him now, his eyes far too earnest and fragile. Atobe closes the space between them, blocks out this mirror of Sanada’s vulnerability in a close press of lips.
The heat is broken by a bitter breeze slewing in from the sea.

Gah. *melts* ♥
omelton usually writes The Daily Show/The Colbert Report RPS, so if anyone feels like checking out more of her stuff, it can be found at fakenews_fanart, fakenews_fanfic or her journal. :3 *pimps*

safkjldsgfasdk MY COMPUTER'S JAPANESE CHARACTER READING SKILLZ HAVE ALL GONE CRAZY. I CAN'T READ BLOGS OR THE OFFICIAL MYU SITE OR ANYTHING ANYMORE. T_____T
Any mac users have any advice? :D"

EDIT: Atobe can too be Sanada's seme! Just felt the need to say that. I mean, there's precious little Tango fic around in the first place, and I don't believe there is any with seme!Atobe. *sighs*

Okay I officially designate this a spam post lol.

Andandand!!11!one! I just watched the last episode of season 8 of CSI and WTFFFF WARRICK NOOOOOOO. T_T

That's Igor Stravinsky And A Ham Sandwich!

2008-07-30T18:20:10Z

You know, Tenipuri eats my brain, heart and soul, but WoW has a nagging tendency to eat my life. :/ I haven't checked my mail since Saturday. WTFFF.

This is Anita, my level almost!30 blood elf rogue. :> I've made a few other characters, but I play her most.

But enough of this! I shall get to the point: DL5 soundtrack. ♥ Oretachi no Aikotoba made me melt, especially the part in harmony near the end. ♥ ♥ ♥ It's great that they revisited "old" songs from First Cast times. ♥ Makes me notice, though, that now!Tenimyu seems like a completely different thing than then!Tenimyu. Am I alone on this?

And I really, really, reeaally like Shougo as Ryoma. He really has the bitchy-little-snob thing DOWN. Also, Watanabe is so into whatever it is he's doing. He is quite possibly my favorite Tez so far. ♥ Shirota will always have a special place in my heart, but I didn't really get a Tezuka impression from him. Or his hair, for that matter. *is shot 8D*
I can't wait for his and Luke's (have I mentioned how much I love Luke? No?? Well, let it be known. ♥) CDs. Or for the DL5 DVD. Or for Hyouteimyu, because I'm all giddy now after having read tayles' report. (All I've seen of Kubota was his little PV, and I'm still wary. But I know already that I won't like Inoue.)

Annnd I guess that's all. How are you all doing? I fail for not commenting moar on things! Sorry. :(

Fukuyama Seiji is the cutest thing since sliced bread. ♥ He totally rocks that Gakuto wig. I still ♥ you, Ruirui~ ♥
But man, he's cute. >.<
But, um, I can't say I'm impressed by any of the others. Akiyama looks like he should be wearing either a suit and selling vacuum cleaners or a lab coat and experimenting with dangerous substances. And anyone except Kazuki as Atobe is just... haha. Well, sorry. 8D ~~Wow, am I biased or what?~~

So how come Aiba's mentioned on the profile page and Kazuki and Saitou aren't? Dx

I've started playing WoW again! Man, it's been ages. It's so nostalgic. ♥

I COULD SHOOT SOMEONE RIGHT NOW.

2008-07-06T20:31:49Z

ASFLKJADS;DSGGFDSL;;FDGF SO FIRST HE LOSES THE FIRST TWO SETS 4-6 4-6 AND THEN HE COMES BACK WITH AN AMAZING 7-6 7-6 IN THE THIRD AND FOURTH AND THEN HE FUCKING LOSES THE FIFTH FUCKING SEVEN-NINE.

FUUUUCK.

Nadal, you idiot. T_T Federer a) is way more elegant and graceful when he plays, b) has the faster serve, c) has the better net points and first serve points won percentage AND a million more aces AND a million less double faults and unforced errors, and d) is a damn lot better looking. He was also wearing a cute cardigan after the first rain break.

The worst part? The channel I was watching decided the match was taking too long and started showing stupid movies, so I switched to the other sports channel and they were showing Tour de France, and the third one was showing the match, but was for some reason in the middle of the second set WHILE THEY WERE ACTUALLY STILL BATTLING OUT THE FIFTH. AAAAARGH.

I'm sad now. T^T

• TSUDA KENJIROU IS THE BIGGEST DORK EVER. ALONG WITH KUSUNOKI. And was that Sugimoto dancing in Odorimasenka?
Also: OKIAYU IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH AND MASUDA YUUKI IS RRRREEEAAALLY PRETTY. And so is Nagai, even though there wasn't much of her to be seen. :(
AND TAKEMOTO HAS GREAT HAIR. AND I'M KIND OF SCARED OF SUEYOSHI. AND KIUCHI IS CUTE IN A TEDDY BEAR KIND OF WAY. AND SUWABE WAS ASFLKASDGFALSDGF SHAKIN HIS FREAKIN ASS THE WHOLE TIME.
KUSUDA WAS WEARING HORRIBLE PANTS BUT HE'S COOL ANYWAYS. AND NAMIKAWA IS SOOOO CUTE.
AND OMG THEY WERE ALL BEING SUCH TOTAL DORKS DURING DEAR PRINCE. AND I'M SURE I'VE FORGOTTEN TO MENTION SOMEONE GREAT BUT I ♥ THEM ALL ANYWAYS.

:DDD *is in happy land*

~♥~

• A while back, I wrote an essay on theater types in Japan and (along with a recording of me speaking a few Japanese sentences) sent it in to the Bundeswettbewerb Fremdsprachen 2008 (national foreign language competition :D"). AND ON TUESDAY I GOT A LETTER THAT I GOT THROUGH TO THE SECOND (and final) ROUND. ZOMG. :OOO Which means I get to go to Lübeck (310 km/192 miles away) in November to stand in front of three or more people who are all way smarter than me and tell them about Japanese theater AND speak Japanese.
Oh god. *dies*

• After September only Date will be missing from Hyoutei. :( I miss you already, Date. So much that I called Namikawa Date, even though I actually wanted to say Ootori.
And Aiba's coming back. o_o" I don't quite know how to react.

• Spain beat Germany 1-0. Darn. Not that I was especially interested, but y'know, Germany and all. But my dad bet on Spain (at work), so he'll get, like, 5€ for it. Wow. 8D

ハートは Burning Sun〜

2008-06-25T22:27:06Z

• I had a weird dream in which I was a reporter at a concert by some J-Rock band. While they were letting people into the arena, there was a cheesy song by some boy band being played. I only remember the line "Haato wa Burning sun~". Lol. I should be a song writer, N/N? XD

• HOLIDAYS! :D Everyone who's still in school/uni/work/whatever, do your best until you're off~! ♥ :3

• srftalfksdgf;sdogadfshsfj;;SDHsdhaFJDKJFGK
KAZUKI.
IS.
COMING.
BACK.
TO THE MYUS.
Okay, so it's only in October.
BUT.
:DDD
♥

Cue the following on his blog:

それとテニミュのことについても話そうと思う。

話をいただいた時、正直すごい悩んだよ。

なんでかって言うと、去年立海公演を観た時に、俺達が先輩たちから受け継いだバトンがちゃんと新しいメンバーにも受け継がれていると確信したから。
あのステージに立つ自分の姿はもうイメージできなかったんだよ。
今までのテニミュがそうだったように、新しいメンツが新しい作品、時代を作っている。
だからそこでの役割は俺は果たしたし、もう戻ることもないと感じてた。

Now, my Japanese *really* isn't up to snuff, but thanks to my limited abilities and a fairly reliable internet translator, I kind of got the feeling Kazuki isn't looking forward to returning to the awesome world of Tenimyu quite as much as he should (read: is using excuses to be an arrogant disloyal idiot XD). Of course, this is probably just me. But oh well. *sighs* Show some loyalty, Kazuki! Without Tenimyu you would be nothing! Nothing!! *rawr*

I Spent Sunday Afternoon Yelling At My TV.

WHAT THE HELL. sdafklsjdfg FEDERER WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOU. :( YOU MADE ME VERY SAD BY LOSING HORRIBLY TO ~~that brute~~ NADAL. GOD I HATE NADAL. WHAT AN IDIOT. D<
I mean. 6-1, 6-3, 6-0? Jesus. T_T

You know, looking closely at Federer's hair, he has a kind of Atobe-ish wave at the front there. ♥ See? Also, he kind of looks like he just snapped his fingers in that picture. x3

生徒諸君！

2008-06-08T12:48:49Z

Now, I'm always looking for nice new JDramas to watch, and recently, I came across Seito Shokun!, based on a 70s (I think?) manga. It's a very moving story about a teacher's dedication to her students. :3 I've been looking for the OST because I really like the music, but can't find it. :/ It stars Horikita Maki, who I really liked in Nobuta o Produce, Hongo Kanata (♥ he's so cute), Shiina Kippei (anyone seen Antique Cake Store?) annnd Shirota in a bit part as a crrrazy PE teacher. x3
Eh, I suck at writing synopses, but anyways, I highly recommend this series. Sadly, crunchyroll only has up to ep. 7, and I could only find torrents for the rest, so the last three episodes are taking their time to download. But it's worth it. :D

lionsandtigersandbears! :O

2008-06-04T14:09:39Z

• In this darkest hour of my existence, a tiny shimmer of hope glances off the waves an eternity above my head... Maybe it's someone p•r•e•t•t•y this time! :D Maybe it's Kazuki!!
Okay, I doubt that. But it would make my ~~day~~ ~~week~~ life. :)

• Happy Birthday, Sammie!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Omg, you're eighteen now, too! :DDD So, um, are you legal yet? |D *gets bricked for ignorance* I wish you many happy returns of the day. But I'm afraid I ~~procrastinated too much~~ wasn't fast enough to finish your present by today. T^T It will come! Someday! x3

• Had my chemistry test today. Noticed a REALLY STUPID MISTAKE I made on my way to the bus stop afterwards. XD *headdesk*
But! I now have no more exams or anything until next term~ :D Now I can *really* concentrate on procrastinating! W00t! 8D
I skipped my first two classes today. Hm. Wonder why, I can't really remember what I was thinking this morning, except that I reset my alarm clock from 7 am to 9:30. :/ Oh well, it was only philosophy and art, anyways. Nothing really important.

• My parents have been weird lately. Especially my mom, she keeps telling me how impressed she is by how mature and "clear-headed" (wtf?) I am. I shouldn't tell her that I tend to read the mails she writes to her family in which she sometimes says nasty things about my sister. And me. And my other sister. But mostly the one sister. D< Not nice.

• I love listening to Dear Prince when I walk to school. It gets me motivated in the mornings. :3

Hygiene FTW

2008-06-01T11:44:09Z

• About an hour and a half ago, I discovered I had a tick about two inches above my left thigh. TMI. I managed to pull most of it out, brutally killing it in the process. :D Little fucker. >(
I'll have to go to the doctor's tomorrow to get the last... bit... out.
Needless to say, I am extremely grossed out right now.
You know those moments in life where everything disgusts you and makes you paranoid? Well, this is one of them.
The fact that I live in an old, musky house isn't exactly helping. XD

Eww.

• I want a holiday. D: I haven't been to California in three and a half years. Hell, I haven't been anywhere in three and a half years, except for a five-day trip to Berlin, and that was with school, so it doesn't count. XD
*sighs* Why do plane tickets have to be so damn expensive? >_<

• I made new Tango!Sims and they look a lot nicer. :D Especially because they have really nice mod skins that my sister got. She's been downloading loads of new stuff lately, so I felt the need to play again. Apparently we now have ALL the add-ons. :D I can't wait to give Sim!Atobe a cat. :3
My only problem is that Sim!Sanada is just not falling for Sim!Atobe. T_T Poor Atobe. He's totally in love and Sanada doesn't care. But he does want to make out with him. Hmm. :/
Also, Atobe was scared of declaring Art as his major. LOL. XD

this is srs bzns

2008-05-26T21:05:47Z

I realize that it is completely NOT normal for me to get all angsty about a musical. xD

BUT. T_T

I have no idea as to what this means for the Hyoutei cast. I have the distinct feeling I'll be checking the official Myu site every few minutes for the next couple of days. Because. SDKFJLASGDG;sdfHHG. Okay. Okay. So. If they get a completely new Hyoutei cast, I assume I'll be crushed for a while. ;_;
And. Well. *incoherent*

Let me try to sort out my thoughts. 8D

I watched DL4 a few days ago with my sister. I really like DL4, because Rikkai's segment is hilarious and Rokkaku kicks ass, as usual, and, well, shiny, sparkly, all that stuff. But every time I watch it, I get kind of depressed after the Hyoutei segment. |D Come on, they didn't even get their own song! Yeah, so they had a whole DL pretty much to themselves, and they're short their two most representative members (grrr), but still.
Hm. I think my problem is that Hyoutei is just amazingly overrated in my head. *tries to formulate thoughts*
While watching, especially after Kazuki's and Saitou's little videos (Am I the only one that always cracks up when video!Saitou asks "Katsun wa~?" and then the audience says "Hyoutei~!" and then video!Saitou waits like 10 seconds before nodding? XD), I noticed that I've begun to stop associating Kazuki with Myus. Partly because I've been following his career aside from them, partly because (obviously) he hasn't been around in them for some time - one and a half years are a long time in Myu!verse. XD
Anyway. I have no idea if my point is getting across. XD
BUT.
Then I saw the post that I linked to above, and I'm honestly kind of disappointed at the rate they're churning out new casts now. I realize the fifth cast is probably only for the overseas performances, but I don't know how it'll go on after Hyouteimyu II.
I think to myself, I've barely gotten to know the newest cast! o_o Of course I'm a few thousand kilometers (miles, whatevs) away from the Myu Central and thus my information is kind of delayed, but there must be some reason why I think the first and second and probably still third Seigaku cast will stay more memorable to me. Yeah, yeah, this is all hypothetical, and I know that Tenimyu is a Shiny Superficial Entertainment Industry Manifestation Extraodinaire, but it still never fails to make my day. T_T Somehow I'm getting the feeling that the golden age of Tenimyu has passed already.

Enough angsting! WTF, I'm confusing myself. @_@

My point: I will really miss Hyoutei (especially Kazuki) if they're replaced by a new cast. And I'll be sad when there aren't any Myus at all anymore.
And I'm still secretly hoping for a Senbatsumyu with lots of Tango!scenes. 8D

Guh. I'm tired, I should go to bed and figure out what I mean. XD

Also, I fail for not finishing my Sanada birthday picture by his birthday. ;_; Sorry, Sanada~ T-T

OH, I AM SO DEPRESSED RIGHT NOW.

WHAT THE HELL. That is just. WAHT.

I feel like shooting something small and innocent. RAWR. I IZ ANGRY.

... I hate everybody. T_T :( D:

Dreams are so weird.

2008-05-20T08:48:06Z

sdfjaksdfg OMG I JUST GOT UP AND I HAD THE MOST HORRIBLE DREAM.

So Higamyu was out, and I was all happy and squee-y about it and then I watched it and ARGH. The cast of Seigaku was completely different, except for Daisuke and Tomo/Hirata - Fuji and Ryoma were played by girls, the rest I don't remember.

Hyoutei was there, too, also with a cast change - a girl as Gakuto, a weird tiny (and I mean *tiny*) fat guy as Shishido, and some dudes as Ootori and Oshitari. I think Kawai and Wasshi were in the audience for some reason, and I don't know about Kazuki.

Anyways, except for the real cast members there, everyone was hideous. Shishido looked like a tiny, fat weasel, and Gakuto's hair was all greasy and way too long and too pink, and the lady had a face like a horse. Oshitari was wearing clothes way too small for him and was just plain ugly.
Ryoma's hair was long and the girl (I think she was thirteen) wasn't wearing a cap or anything, and Fuji had short brown hair, but in a ponytail and with millions of clips and glittery things in it.

Oh god, Hyoutei was so ugly. Wasshi and Kawai were probably posing as audience members because they were too embarrassed to be part of the same cast as those douchebags. XD There was even a bit backstage where Ootori and Shishido were wearing PJs and sleeping on the same bed; and it would've been cute if Ootori hadn't been five times taller than Shishido. I mean, Shishido was so small he fit on the small bit of bed up over/next to Ootori's head.

WTF.

Then Seigaku all gathered on a little platform in the middle of the stage, and Hirata had brown hair and was wearing glasses and started saying "Yudan sezu ni ikou" until Daisuke stole his glasses. I think they were Hirata's own. That might've been the most normal part about the whole dream. XD

Higa showed up at one point, too. They were all still the same. I think Luke whispered something in Daisuke's ear, and then they all left. They did a kind of crab-walk (like in *all* their dances XD) on their way out. :P

But then it went on to Daisuke getting into a kind of round cage that he "flew" with. So he was up there, at *least* fifty feet high, in a cage, singing "Hyakuren jitoku no kiwami", and then Fuji, Ryoma and Gakuto came up, too, and were supposed to do some kind of percussion against the cage walls with their rackets, but they kept getting it wrong, and Daisuke had to correct them. It would've been funny if everything else they'd done hadn't been horrible and off-key, too - none of them could sing or dance or act or anything. They were all just a bunch of extremely arrogant assholes that I was very disappointed in.
Especially Shishido.
God, I hated his guts. xD

So I woke up and was all "ò_Ó arjkgdhjfWAHT" until I remembered that yes, Shougo is a boy and yes, Hyoutei actually is very well cast (although that remains to be seen for the next myu T^T) and OH THANK GOD IT WAS JUST A DREAM.

XD

What a giant WTF.

Wow. I started this picture in February, I think; and now I finally got around to finishing it. |D

Clicky~! :D

Yeah, he's supposed to be an emo!rock kind of guy. Mole sort of stolen from Niou.
Concrit and the likes of it are very appreciated. ♥

Also, behold my new icon! XD I felt the need for a Kazuki!default icon again. :3

and I want a pony. :(

2008-05-14T17:02:27Z

My mom put the laundry outside to dry yesterday. When she brought it back in this morning (yesterday evening?), she apparently missed the fact that one of my socks had gotten caught in the neighbors' woodpile. LOL. |D I went past the dining room window this morning and was all, "buh?" and felt I had to take a picture of my poor, poor sock. XD

Annnd I'm downloading Higamyu as I type and I can't wait to watch it~ (Thanks again, miraizu ♥ ♥ ♥) And had I mentioned that I will personally drown/throttle~~/hug ♥~~ Kazuki if he doesn't get his ass, no matter how much other people might want it, back to the myus? Well. I will. XD

Also. Wtf. Vikings ≠ Pirates.

• Amazing how the weather went from raining buckets to week-long sunshine in two days. :D

These are both taken from my garden. I tried to get a decent shot of the moon, too, because it's cool if you can see it in the daytime, but my camera turned out too cheap for that. XD

I hope my stupid headache goes away soon. I wanted to go out tomorrow. Dx

• We got my mom flowers and a cake for mother's day. Thank god that appeased her sufficiently. x3

• *sigh* The weather's great, and yet I'm still bored out of my pants. XD
I want Higamyu so I have something new to squee about. >_<
I watched Rikkaimyu yesterday with my sister, and we both sang "samurai is destiny~" with Doori. LOL. XD
We also watched snippets of Kazuki's 2007 show today, since we didn't want to go through the pain of watching the whole thing again - because honestly, am I the only one that thinks he was pretty much pooped after the first two numbers? He might want to take into consideration that he hits the high notes better when he's not jumping around like a total spaz while singing. |D Oh, Kazuki. You adorable not!dork. ♥ ♥ :D

ETA: sflaglkdsgsdflhkl!!!1one!1!!1! IT'S KAIDOH'S BIRTHDAY! How the hell could I forget to mention that?! >o< Happy birthday, Kaidoh~~~~ ♥ ♥ ♥

It's Oishi's Birthday~!
Just thought I'd mention that my second-favorite fukubuchou is turning fifteen. Yet again. |D

Anyways. Since I'm dying to get my hands on this because it's asdkjhasf SO SHINY *_* and 211$ is, like, only 135€ (LOL XD), I've been looking around for job opportunities. The people at the place looking for workers for the summer holidays said come back in three weeks, and the people at the place looking for pamphlet distributors said they'd call me.
So. I hope to get 135+ together by the end of summer. *wibbles*

On a completely different subject, does anyone on my f'list watch The Daily Show and/or The Colbert Report on Comedy Central? If you do, aren't you totally looking forward to Stephen's Rain segment? :DDD

Hmm, Interesting.

The establishment of the Tokugawa order did not happen without protest among the samurai themselves and without the appearance of opposition groups, among which the kabuki mono provide a most interesting occurrence - very much like the British "punk" phenomenon of the seventies and early eighties. [...] Like today's motorcycle gangs they would roam the streets and oftentimes engage in acts of violence and riots, flaunting their revolt against all conventions and decency, by performing such acts as playing the flute with one's anus.

I'm strangely interested in how that works. Could they actually time their farts to produce some kind of sound with the flute being where it was?

I've thought of so many things to rec lately that I've decided to just randomly post about them from time to time. xD

I know James Darren from watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where he starred as holosuite jazz singer Vic Fontaine. Remember when Nog lost his leg? Oh, that was Vic's time to shine. :3
He apparently was a teen star in his youth and has starred in as well as directed action series. He recorded plenty of albums in the 60s-70s, but it wasn't until DS9 that he recorded two albums of songs partly heard in the series, This One's From The Heart (1999) and Because of You (2001).

I'm afraid I don't have the whole record, but I will provide whoever's interested with a few sample songs~ :D

• I'll Be Seeing You
• Come Fly With Me
• I've Got The World On A String
• The Best Is Yet To Come
• That Old Black Magic

»Right here.

Enjoy? :D And if you haven't watched DS9, you should. x3

... and I went with a friend of mine and got cool photos made of me. :3 Yeah, they're big because I'm bragging. |D

Love the shades. ♥

I have two more, but they didn't turn out as well. It was fun, though. Except having to go home in full makeup. So weird. It felt like stage makeup. xD

Haven't posted in ages! :O But now I bring this, inspired by a real place I had cake at on Monday. :D It's very short, as usual - 505 words. And, yes, of course it's Tango Pair. :3
Enjoy? :D"

Coffeedrinker

He sits at a small table at a nice, comfortably bustling café. Every Monday, every new start of the week is marked for the nice ladies behind the counter by his silent consumption of one cup of coffee, no milk, no sugar.

It's a funny thing, an elderly woman, veteran of the job, thinks - to be able to know so much about a young man from how he drinks his coffee, yet not even know his name.

Today he sits, calmly sipping his chat noir, and watches with mute interest as the pastry chef assembles various baked goods behind his glass partition: Four speedy, controlled flicks of his wrist and four small, immaculate blobs of extra-stiff cream, on each of which he places two red half-circles to complete his image of a cookie-and-marzipan ladybug.
Four flicks of the wrist a ladybug, fourteen ladybugs a tray, and, as far as the chef's calm observer can tell, eighteen trays a rack. After which the rack is wheeled out of sight, the cream in the pastry bag replenished, and a new rack of yet imperfect bugs is brought in.
Two hundred and twelve little cookies, waiting for eight hundred and forty-eight little spots of cream.

The pastry chef misses one of them because he's talking to a man bringing out the trash.
The coffee drinker smiles imperceptibly, sets down his empty cup, picks up his scarf and wraps it around his neck, and walks out the glass doors, just when a tray is set back on its rack and another is slid out to take its place.

He makes his way across the cobbled square, towards the subway station.

" – sky sure looks gray today –," a businessman walking past in the opposite direction is saying into his phone.

Two schoolgirls giggle at each other, enjoying mounds of ice cream even though it's drizzling.

"They really should make the stairs wider. I hate having to fight my way through..."

"So I told him that it wasn't going to happen again and that he should take his damn demands and shove them – "

He quickens his step towards the station entrance, but instead of joining the thronging masses headed down, he stops just to the right of the top of the stairs, where a young man is leaning against the low wall, looking up at the sky.

"Sorry for making you wait. Especially in this weather."

The extraordinarily good-looking man shifts his gaze downward from the gray clouds, smiles an extraordinarily beautiful smile, and steps forward to intertwine their fingers.

"How was your coffee? I let them know exactly how you drink it, I hope they made it strong today," Atobe says.

Sanada raises an eyebrow. "I should've known. It was good, thank you."

Atobe smiles, satisfied.

"You should stop by with me someday," Sanada says. "They might give two patrons on a date a discount."

Inside the café, the pastry chef has moved on to decorating the ladybugs' wings with nine little white spots of cream apiece.
