Basically the only way to get me to post is to make me make a new icon. Fun package full of goodies of the they-who-shall-not-be-named and KenKen variety came in, and one magazine photo shoot in particular inspired me to make a new icon (though I'm lazy and I piggybacked off another person's scans instead of scanning the magazine myself... Neenyay).

Speaking tangentially of which, I have more KenKen goodies (including another (earlier) CastPrix DVD and his latest photobook), which I'm thinking of sharing eventually. Usually someone else shares the photobook scans, so if that happens I won't be sharing them myself, but the CastPrix DVD has Nagayan in it, and it's pretty much amazing, so that eventually, maybe, once I clear off space on my hard drive.


Currently on fall break, yahoo. Visited Claire at Princeton for the weekend (lots of fun, lots of debauchery, A+ would do again except for the vomiting). Currently trying (and failing) to peel through some thesis research as well as more finalized grad school application plans. (Took the GRE. Didn't kill the GRE, but didn't get killed by the GRE. I'm envisioning from now on a mutual, standoffish relationship for the most part. B- would not take again.) But really, I've been spending a lot of time sleeping. So much sleeping. Planning to hire a personal cheerleader to yell at me: "Be! Productive! Be, be productive!"


Worth noting is that I am on financial lockdown, what up. Aside from the necessary expenditures and moneys owed, I'll be buying nothing. Nothing. :|


Watched the Yatterman movie. Truly, truly awful. I actually didn't watch maybe the last third or so; didn't really have the patience for it, and didn't foresee anything spectacular happening anyway.


I recently watched a drama called Haken no Oscar. It was only six episodes and not yet subtitled, but I watched it for Tokui Yoshimi (Tutorial). ♥ It's a story about a haken whose ideal lifestyle is that of Oscar from Rose of Versailles, and I felt like I was missing something since I'd never read the series. Haken no Oscar overall: kind of strange, kind of cute, didn't like the female lead's facial structure for a really long time.


Hey, it's October 14th. [One of my best friends from high school]'s birthday. I hate that kind of singular-plural-idea sentence construction, but it's so common. :/

Oh lord, the Yattermovie of...awful. I was particularly upset because, for a movie starring Sho-kun, there was precious little Sho-kun in it. Also it was kinda, I dunno, tasteless.

I was trying to come up with a word, one word, to describe it, and I think "tasteless" might be it. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anything else by Miike Takashi, but if it all smells like this, I'm staying far away.

The large amount of CG/stand-in Sho in place of real Sho was upsetting. There was a part where he was doing back handsprings, and I shook my head in disappointment. That's so clearly not our Sho.

Sounds like you're having fun. ^^ Good luck with thesis stuff!

Random question- do we have Japanese homework for Monday? Koike-sensei handed me a bunch of sheets when I went to my interview Thursday, but I don't actually know what we're supposed to do.

Thanks! You, too.

The latest homework sheet says, and I quote, ありません！！！ So I guess we're in the clear for now. Though noteworthy is that the Honmono Project draft (for the movie) is due on Wednesday. Also, there's a survey on BlackBoard (if you haven't already taken it) -- mid-semester review and whatnot -- that she wants done by Friday. But hey, that's in English, so no biggie. So easy.

Excellent (well, not really for the honmono project, but still :b) History thesis is eating me alive, I don't really want to worry about anything else right now.
