36) Then Real Farewell / K & Bbt / Kill the Donuts

36) This is about Dorcas' real farewell thing, at the airport. I know we already had that Sizzlers dinner thing, (and maybe even the test tube party, if you'd consider that a farewell) but this is IT. The real one.

Jess and I had to rush to the airport and I've finally met the Kim (zat how you spell it?) dude I've been hearing about. ;) There was also Sherlz, Sharo, Chiyenn, and Wei Siang (And I think that's how you spell his name..?). The whole thing was very meaningful despite the very very VERY stupid and pointless conversations we had. But altogether, was nice.
It kinda saddens me to think that Dorcas is leaving to China cuz hanging with her is so fun and I can just HIKE a mounain with her and come back down and honestly say I enjoyed it. And I hate hiking mountains. So that's saying something. XD
But then I'm leaving too so it's inevitable.

Here's this pic Sherlz kept bugging all of us to take. She had this "bright" idea and was adamant about carrying it out so we all had to go along with her just to shut her up. XD Jk Fuzzy.. Jk...

Is actually pretty cool huh?

 

OH and I can NOT let this slip by so I will say it. Was just standing there and Dorcas and Kim were walking by with his arms around her shoulders and ThEy JuST CrASHeD INtO MY SIDE AND KEPT RIGHT ON WALKING. Like I wasn't there.

ARGHHH.

Ok I'm already aware that I can be pretty invisible. But INTANGIBLE TOO?? Now I'm just AIR??? I have no matter and therefore DO NOT matter?????????

ARGHHHHHHH!!!!

But it was pretty funny cuz all of us just laughed and watched how the two Luurvebirds kinda shut the rest of the world away (evidently so too *grumbles*) while they talked to each other.
So kawaii!! ^__^

Just the other day I was thinking of DeathNote and wow, Mainyy said she would actually like to watch it and I was like WOW. She does?? Anime of some kind even though it was real-life actors???? Why?? Why why why?? ANd I thought maybe she has finally accepted the fact that anime has BOOTIFUL WOnDerFUL storylines and she will grow to love the drawings one day BUT THEN...
It occured to me.

It wasn't that simple complex.

SHE JUST WANTED TO OGLE THE GUYS IN THE SHOW!! THAT WAS ALL!! She cared NOT for storyline or appretiation of the Japs' work!!

CHEY.

And here I've thought she's grown. *sniffs*

At least Gav's matured some what. I quote this inspirational line he said to me once: "Last time when I saw how obsessed you guys were with anime I thought 'Omg what freakish losers.' Now, 3am in the morning and I'm still up watching Naruto with my eyes glued to the screen.."

He is growing into a fine young man. Cuz anime is like vitamins. It is GOOD for you. I'm glad that I've been able to raise him up like he was my own son. No wait. He's Mainyy's brother so he's actually my brother-in-law and hence making him Mossy's uncle and I am treating him like a son when Mossy really is the son so I'm actually treating Mossy's uncle like his brother... Wait.

Damn our family's screwed up.

Was out with Mainy, Gavin, Esta, Rob, and Johnny last night - went K and bbt. Was pretty good.. especially the bbt. XD And Esta could sing Chinese songs so damn well. She has a voice that could fit that Rainie girl and that's saying something. AND she could READ and sing CHINESE!!! Omg talent or WHAT? (Mainy could sing Chinese too but she does it by memorizing it straight off the song itself... HEHE!! But that's a talent of another kind already.. XD I can only handle Si Lu and Tian Kong since they're the only two chinese songs I actually like and heard multiple times..) And parking was surprisingly easy that night, which kinda put me in a really good mood to start off.

I think they all think I'm messed up. Rob already suspected so. Gav already thought so. Mainy already KNEW so. But everything I said just slipped out in the form of a dirty joke and now they all think I'm REALLY screwed. No one said anything when MAINY did too! But maybe it's cuz they're used to her screwed-up-ness. Maybe I shouldn't use that.. screw.. word. Rob kept calling me a hentai Otaku and I think he could have said more if he wasn't so traumatized from his experience a while ago with this lady hairdresser who was some domineering control freak that said stuff like, "No, now you don't talk. I talk." and "Good idea? Of course it's a good idea. It's MY idea." and "NO! Listen to me! I say put more dye so you watch me put more dye."
Shit she's better worse than me and I admire fear her so.

And Rob came out of the hairdresser's very very small (figuratively speaking) and very very blonde (literally speaking) BUT do not fret Rob, it looks FINE. Really it does. Stop hiding in dark places and turning lights off in fear of your head lighting up. It is FINE. ^__^

But didn't stop him from having some ego competition with Gav. They kept fisting punching each other (see WHAT I mean by screwed up?? >_<) and saying stupid things like "That was only half my power!" "You're weak man.." "My hand actually got caught in my jacket so there was SO little force in that one." and "I wanna pee. You punched me in the bladder and now I needa pee."
Idiots. Idiots, BOTH of them.

Turned out Johnny was the more normal one.

Note: I didn't say he was normal. Just the most out of the three. XD

Just came back from work at Donut Kings and I had to make 20 of those DAMN SOCCEROO DONUTS. AGAIN. Can I just die NOW?

*chokes on a donut*

Remember Sam.. It's all for the money. It's all for the money. It's all for the money dammit...

I'd rather choke on money.

 

Am going to Subi later for work and my dad told me to get him 7 of those really nice almond croissants from the french bakery. But I told him that this week I'll be handling the shop on my own cuz the boss went overseas, and so I may not be able to leave the shop to get him the pastry. Even worse, if I DO get to buy them, they many not be discounted since the bakers know my boss and may not know me.

Dad: Just tell them you work there. Say "Gimme a DISCOUNT or I'll tell my BOSS."
Me: DAD don't encourage me to be rude. ...Ruder...
Dad: Think of another method then.
Me: What, say something like, "But I'm so pretty and sweet and lovable so how can you NoT discount it??"?
Dad: Yes.. Good. Good.
Me: DAD!! And you know, it won't WORK. Wait, DON'T encourage me to lie. ..more.... I don't think I can get them for you actually cuz I'll be going back by train and I'll be tired and I don't wanna carry all that food on the-
Dad: *gives me money*
Me: DAD YOU AIN'T LISTENING!!! Don't act like I'm definitely buying them!! Which one's more important? My welfare or those croissants???
Dad: ... ...
Me: YOU NEED TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT????


Can't blame him though. Joy reacted the same way I did when she asked me something like "which one is more important, friends or anime?" and I kinda stayed silent for a while too. Only she said something about throwing all the anime in the world into the ocean. <__<;;


 

Ok I don't know if I've said this before but I think it'll be so damn cool if a hot dude came up to me while at the yoghurt shop and says, "Hi, can I get some yoghurt, and you number too?"

*faints*

Yes YES!! Here you go and please come back again~!!! Such a cool pick-up line I canNOT reject him!!


I bet i'm probably the only one who thinks it's cool since I made it up myself. Shutt it all of you.

Speaking of work and pick-up lines, this oldish dude walked by the yoghurt shop just yesterday and I asked him if he'd like anything and he said no, then "But the yoghurt looks good though. Looks just as good as you!! ^__^ *points and winxx*"

AHAHAH!! I told him he made my day.

The hit count shot up. I get the feeling it's the mention of fan-service.

You sick sick people. XD

35) [3000hits] Dorcas' farewell Dinner..

 It’s pass the 3000 mark on my counter and I decided to do things Jap fanart-site style and put up a pic in celebration of it. Something for both of us to dread – Me cuz I gotta bear with drawing it, you cuz you gotta bear WITH it.

It’s not that I draw things like these all the time. Hardly really.. I’d wish to practice more on female anatomy but it’s just so tedious compared to males who have sharper, easier-to-draw angles. Girls have all these measurements you gotta take into consideration like don’t forget where the curve comes in and remember where the elbows go down to and stuff like that. But on nights I feel somewhat horny ambitious and think I really should try to improve on something, I’d work at it.

I was actually trying to explain WHY I am posting this particular pic up in the first place. Was a few months ago, at Formosa in the City with Shermy, Joy and Sudden-Evil Ben (that random dude) and we were talking about.. stuff we don’t normally talk about when there’s a guy around, and so he had wisely up and left for some Chinese comics which were at the back of the bubble tea store. And it was then Mainyy had happened to turn around and saw the desktop wallpaper of some guy’s laptop that had one of those skankily dressed anime girls on it and Mainyy was like O_O WHAT the-?
“Fan-service” I said.
And she asked what that was. So I told her that I had recently drawn something like that but just not suggestive enough to actually BE fan-service, and I said I’d post it up one day on my blog – not that she was actually looking forward to it. I bet she’s already forgotten, actually.

Here it is:

 

There you go. Mild fan-service. No I do not endorse it. *coughs at the evidence* Ignore the lack of coloring, photoshopping, refining, quality, un-lameness, etc. The scanning ruined her face. Xl


Was planning to put another pic up for my 3000hit thx but I will save my Cloud for another day.

KYAAA CLOUD!! ♥♥♥

On to things of LESS importance....

 The soccer world cup championships. Where football players from different nations of the world come together in a battle of sportsmanship and skill. A fight for passion, ambition, perseverance and strength…

SO WHY DID JAPAN LOSE WHEN THEY ARE SO PATENTLY BETTER LOOKING????

It was all going fine until that abominable last 10 mins cuz how could Australia get THREE goals in that tiny amount of time unless the game was rigged or it was plain FLUKE?? I WANTED JAPAN TO WIN!! KUSOO!!!! (This is especially dangerous to whine about since the very land I walk upon IS Australia and I doubt they WON’T restrain from stoning me if I scream this out on the streets in the middle of the night.)

But Yanasigawa was cute!!! (Or at least the cutest..? o_o) Japan HAD to win!! Was at Sharo’s new place with Sherlz, Mainyy, Dorcas, Jess, and Cheryl watching the Japan vs Aust and it was Sharo and Cheryl ROOting for Aust, and me, Mainyy and Sherlz ROOTing for Japan (note the emphasis of CApS!! ROO and ROOT respectively.. Gettit gettit?? Ahh my stupid puns..) Jess was trying to study (it didn’t work) and Dorcas sided with Japan up until Yanasigawa was taken out and she turned traitorous.

We came up with a code for recognition of the Jap team: The Goalie, the Mohawk, the Afro, the Black one, Gordon (ask sherlz -__-;;), Number 13, the Not-too-bad-one-that-took-over-Number 13, and the one with the blow-dried hair (who could fall, tumble, roll and STILL stand up without a single strand out of place).


Me and Jess used all our years of experience in anime to show our skill in Japanese fangirling:
“Uwaaahhh!! Yanasigawa-kun!! Sugoi!!”
“Ganabate!! Yana-kun!!”
“Kagui!! Yana-kun wa Soccer oujo-sama!! Honto nii kagui de su!!”
“Tsuki des!! Tsuki des ne!!! AISHITERU!!!”
“MARRY ME!!”
[I don’t know where that one came from but it didn’t happen, really. XD]

~

Somewhere in the other direction of the compass…

Joi: AyEE!!?! Number 13!! Cute!!!

~

 Ok he’s really not THAT fantastic. But like I said, the best one out there on the field so Japan’s got my full support.

Materialistic or WHAT?

I came up with a cheer that night. Lemme share:
[Sung in the tune of U-G-L-Y in Bring it On]
J-A-P-A-N!
Number 13 is Da Man!!
Yana-kun! Aye aye.. Yana-kun!!

A-U-S-T
Not hot so no victory
Don’t kill me!! Aye aye…

No really, don’t. I added that Aust stanza in. XP Lame lahhh...

 

I'm gonna get stoned. Sued. Murdered. In broad daylight and no one will help me.

 

I just know it.


And how horrible was it when Yana-kun got hurt!?! The bad opposition dude almost took off his leg!!!
Mainyy: Is he ok? Do they need help??? I can help stroke his leg and make it better!!
Me: I wish someone would kick him in the chest so they gotta take his shirt off to examine the wound..

Mainyy also came up with a brilliant explanation for why Japan lost: "The Socceroos were gay and once Japan took Number 13 out, they could finally stop getting distracted and focus on the game.”
Brilliant I say. It all makes sense now. I can alas accept Japan’s defeat.

I’m still depressed though. Gonna drown myself in anime now – Something the Japs have and forever will remain unbeaten at.

 Had this really really freakish dream about the entire surface of my scalp flaking off into two very large pieces of dandruff. I don’t HAVE dandruff, mind you. Really. Come see if you must. <_<;; But it was a weird dream. Weird.

Went to Dorcas’ farewell thing Friday night and we had interesting conversational topics. Stuff about kissing buddies and how was your kissing buddy and do you have a kissing buddy and argh I want a kissing buddy… The buffet was nice. Who knew you could get full on salad? Or maybe it was just the bubble tea I had before.

Was jacket-searching for the church camp earlier on and the whole thing was kinda a failure cuz there was NO jackets (at least the type me and Cheryl want) and so I was thinking of settling for mini-skirts so the boys will just have to deal with it. Couldn’t establish the decision since Gavin was tagging along the whole day and he’d have my head.

But anyway, the farewell buffet dinner thing night was a stupid sorta fun and we just messed around with opinions and ideas about unimportant things in life and it was all quite relaxing. (Go to mainyy's or sherlz' blog for the pics. I am SO DAMN LAZY...)

MTV recs!! Reviews!! Whatever!!!~

 

PussyCat Dolls – Loosen Up my Buttons

I think I’ve rec’d this song before. I KNOW I have. Wait, did I? One of the really previous entries?? Maybe not.. But okay I picked the track up a long time ago, even before I got the entire PCD album ripped off my cousin (which means before the Singapore trip in April). I remember it was while browsing for Beep (and it was then I also got Feeling Good) and I saw it and clicked on it and the minute it hit my ears I already liked Loosen Up My Buttons a lot (had to burn it immediately). It didn’t feature Snoop Dogg though. But the MTV is out!! Now!!! And damn it is HOT. Okay it IS kinda smexy and completely whorific but you’d watch it anyway and say “Omg how slutty this is great I love it.” … NO it doesn’t turn me on (no, honestly, it doesn’t) though I know for sure the boys won’t resist, but I just admire the girls so cuz the dance sequences were SO good and the way everything was carried out was so… perfect. The timing, movements, CG effects, attitude – they got it all down. It’s kinda like Beep. You hear the song and think, “What a cute song.. hehehe..” And you watch the MTV and think, “Ooh Shit this song is teh R0xX0rz!” So likewise, just hear this song and it’s “Wow, pretty cool, this track.” But feast your eyes on the music vid and “IT PWNZZ DAMMIT!! Kicks AZZ.” and you’ll never hear the track the same way again.

Nickelback – Savin’Me

Yea already rec’d the song but the MTV was just so… deep? No not quite the word. But it makes you think. … Contemplation-invoking? AH WHATEVER. But it was quite a watch. Not exciting, or full of sexual connotations, or about a girl leaving a guy and whatever. It’s literally about saving someone. I can’t explain it. It reminds me of DeathNote and the Shinigami’s Eyes where you can see how long someone has left to live but not their names cuz in DN you can see the names too but not in this MTV you don’t and you know this really isn’t an important point but I’m just letting you know anyway. GEttiT?? ARGHH you non-anime freaks of COURSE you don’t get it!! *coughs* But yea, I’d say it’s quite worth a watch. Very.. Final Destination-ish. I kinda left the TV set in a daze.


Daddy Yankee - Rompe

I watched this MTV a long time ago already, actually (unlike the other two, which was just a few nights ago) and so excuse me if I give a bad review but it’s cuz it’s been quite a while so I can’t completely remember everything about it. But I’ll do my best from fuzzy memory. Was nice settings, I recall. Like Gasolina. DY's director has a nice sense of BG color schemes cuz it’s very shady and tone-ish and I liked it a lot – the dark bluey hue, the scratchy graffitied walls, the shabby dilapidated buildings.. Me likes. And hey, Spanish girls can DAnCe. Who knew hips could dislocate and reinstate themselves that easily? *thinks HG pelvis radar and cracks up* Back to the topic, it’s really hard to describe the homeless atmosphere of this clip, so I’d suggest you see it yourself. Admittedly nothing special, but I thought it nice enough to chuck in a rec/review.

 

Yea. Yea I'm done now. -__-

34) My Donuts Bring All the Customers to the Shop...

I think I should stop calling them recs. I am SO slow that the tracks are almost a year old when I post them up so I shall call them REVIEWS.
 
Anyway, I got blog stuff somewhere below.. So don't fret.
 
Ok just a few more of them reviews cuz I said I would.
 
 
1) Monica - What Hurts the Most  [Album: All Eyez On Me]
OooH!! Such a pretty song!! Not exactly fresh on the charts, but pretty!! Rec'd by Leeya, this song is just SO nicely sad. Not a depressing kinda sad. A remorseful but not quite kinda sad. It really is the lyrics that make the difference. The theme is VERY typical. Girl likes boy, boy likes girl, girl doesn't accept boy's advances just yet, boy dejectedly moves on to someone else, girl regrets not making a move. BUT this song is special cuz the words were placed a lot nicer and the music IS good. Along with Monica's very sweet voice, it definitely rates above average. FYI, it was the chorus that really grabbed me.

 
2) Keilis - Bossy
HAHA Milkshake girl. This song is fabulous. Not exactly female role model material. But it makes me laugh. Her style is SO sexy and unique and it kinda makes you think, "Omg what a bitch I just LOVE her.." The words and everything and the chorus... ARGh makes me laugh just thinking about it. I didn't actually hear much hype over the song (at least not yet) cuz I got it straight off the charts without any recs from anyone. Damn I'm glad I did. Not really everyone's cup of tea, but if you can heck a sip of this, you'd scull it.
 
3) Fall Out Boys - Sugar We're Going Down
Damn I like this song so much. A rock song but I wouldn't classify it under typical. The stanzas are slightly above the average and the chorus is great. The words don't really seem to make much sense but you get the general gist. Nice syntax, specially for the chorus, and they may repeat it a number of times but it's hard to get sick of it. Anyhooz... go listen.
 
4) Dru Hill & Sisqo - Incomplete
Ooh gee this song is beautiful. Another rec from Leeya whom I LOVE. Such a sweet song. Not like it's different from any other love song theme-wise. But the song is just great. Sisqo puts all that passion in each line and it sounds SO good and the chorus is heart-warming. And he has a good voice too. But oh the tuuune is just so pretty and I can imagine a really nice MTV to go along with it. An overall nice song I find hard to get tired of.
 
5) The Carpenters - Desperado
Ooh shit talk about old. This one's like some great-grandmother of songs. I mean, the Carpenters dammit. Old or WHAT. But the song is just.. beautiful. I know I overuse that word a lot but I really mean it. The words, syntax, structure, TUNE.. it's all just beautiful - slow, sad, and slice-of-life. Not to mention Karen Carpenter has this sensational voice NO one has beaten in it's style yet, and she does it so perfectly... ♥ And the song has meaning, trust me. Doesn't take much to figure what's behind every line - just listen carefully and you can mELt. Not only that but the instruments are played beautifully too, harmonica and organ, whatever. This track is just amazing. Lyric snippet: "Freedom, oh freedom. That's just some people talkin'.. You're a prisoner walkin' through this world all alone..." GAh beat that.
 
 
 
-
 
 
-MINI REVIEWS-
I do this because I don't really really really LOVE the songs but I like them enough not to skip them while going down a playlist.
 
1) Kate  Dearaugo - Faded
Oh please don't tell me you don't know this song cuz it was on the damn radio all day. Helluva typical song about the girl not liking how the guy wants her to change her nature and who she really is and stuff. TeH typical. But I don't not like it. It's a nice listen. And she has a pleasant voice. So yea.
 
2) The Veronicas - Everything I'm Not
I must be the only person that doesn't really like them that much. I can get why people would  like them, I really can. But I just don't see them as.. special in any way. Not that they don't have good voices and can't sing. Cuz they do and can. Just don't got no unique style, is all. Anyway, the song. EXACTLY the frickin SAME them as Faded. I can actually get confused between the two songs. But nice anyway.
 
3) Lil' Rob - Summer Nights
Ok I'm sure it was Leeya who rec'd me this one. But it's a nice pleasant song. Chill out kind, not too much upbeat and not too darn slow, but just enough for you to bop ya head to. I can't really explain the particular feeling you get while listening to this one, but it's kind of a slow-motion-ish night life.. thing you feel. I can't put my finger on it.
 
4) Yellowcard - Breathing
Ok the song isn't special. No it ain't. And the words aren't special either. Not at all. But it just sounds.. good. Like Lights and Sounds. Not quite up there with Only One though. Anyway, the song.. Nice intro, nice conversion to chorus, nice guitar stunts.. You should know yellowcard. Rock music, kinda reminds you of some sorta Simple Plan.. But hey, who says we're sick of them?
 
5) Corinne May - Fly Away
Geez OLD I know. But I need to put it down anyway. I know I'm being unfair putting this in the Mini section cuz the track deserves a LOT more credit, but maybe it's cuz Jess kept playing it OvEr and OvEr and OVER a-goddamn-gain and I got kinda a little sick of it.. But Corinne May has that fantastic, angelic, clear, acapella-perfect vocals that sounds so nice, and this song is SO beautiful and SO sad. It kinda rakes your heart when you think about the story in the song.. Fantastic lyrics.. just a great piece.
 
6) Sugarbabes - Ugly
How can you not have heard this song when it's EVERYWHERE. I liked it cuz as much as it takes me AGES to remember the first line and how it goes, once I get a grip on the tune, the song is catchy as hell - kinda sticks to your head the whole day and just won't leave.
 
7) Good Charlotte - Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous
Tasteless intro and start. BUT the chorus kicks ass. More rock, just so you know. The song ain't about nice stuff, but you don't quite get the depressing aura or fury from it. I hear more mockery and scorn, really. Definitely a catchy tune no less. It's actually NICE hearing all that noise. o__o
 
 
 
---
 
 
 
I wanna stop reviewing cuz it's just annoying for everyone else. On to bloggy stuff...
 
Watched the English dub of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children and it was surprisingly nicely done. Not only did the voices fit, they were SeXy too. Unfortunately there were those inevitable pauses between words and some lines cuz they had to lip sync and all. But overall it gets a thumbs up from me.
 
And I GET the show now. I GET IT. *GASPS*
 
Everyone (even the FF gamers) agree that the storyline is wtf cuz it was so damn complicated even with the subs in the Jap version. Materia? Lifestream? Mother??? WTF?! But after the Eng dub, it all makes sense now!! And Reno and Rude just keep making me laugh dammit. Reno is an idiot. But a hot idiot. (GarGH NOT anime guys. Animation. CG animation dammit. This means they look REAL. So there.) And the way Rude pulls out a new pair of shades he has prepared after Reno steps on the previous pair - like it happened a lot. And how Loz whips out cell phone after emerging from the debris and starts chatting away like it was the most normal thing to do in the middle of a fight. And how I get to fangirl over Cloud, Vincent, Reno, Sephiroth, ALL MY BISHIES in ONE animated masterpiece... Damn I love the show.
 
Parents saw it too. Father thinks it's amazing how they keep hopping off their high-speeding bikes that never seem to go off the road and they are ALWAYS ABLE to get back on. I quote him, "Wah that bike. Solid man." While mother watches it not cuz of the show or story or anything but she "just likes the blonde guy's hair. Very cool leh." HAHA.
 
Yes Cloud is mine hot yummy mine cool.

GAh I am fanarting so much it amazes me. Whoa say it fast and it sounds like "farting". O_O But anyway. I keep doodling Gintama, DeathNote, and this pic of Cloud baby and wishing to Photoshop them all and I keep groaning about it all day cuz I hate pencil coloring. (Yes I have moved on from Naruto fanart. At last.)
 
Don't be fooled by my informing you of my work. Yes I have two part time jobs but like hell it's impeding me from my daily anime dosage. Got into a new series in fact and it's killing me.. Ouran Host.. I will not fangirl I will not fangirl I will not...
 
 
I am an EXPERT at icing donuts now. I can do yours if you like. If you got any sexual connotations at all from that sentence, please discard it as I honestly meant it innocent. But gawd the sacrifices I make for the money. I wake at 6am and get back at 9am-ish. Where I promptly fall back asleep. And on weekends I wake up again to go for Subi work. OMG I am DILIGENT. Can you not tell?? Oh shit I feel so damn proud. Cuz everyone knows I am N-O-T a morning person and I kill those that smile anywhere from 6 to 11. But the money makes everything worth it.. It makes ME smile in the mornings too dammit..
 
Which reminds me, the father tells me not to bother buying a new cam cuz I already have one. I said that I kinda wanted another one but is it rude to give a present away even if it's given to the sister? And he said yea maybe probably. Which kinda sets a guilt trip for me cuz imagine Godparents asking "Well how is that camera we gave you coming along? You using it?" And I'll have to go "Umn well. Gave. To.. Umn.. Sister. And. I. Got. New. One. OH But she DoES use it!! onDeadUVRadiatedLabMiceThough teeheehee..."
 
But I want a SMALL handbag-friendly cam!! Cuz Sherlz and Mainyy keep spreading their diseases and I caught the cam-whoring one so GAHH these kinda things make me think about things and I'm not good at thinking. New cam or NOT??
 
Lemme think.
 
Yea ok I give up. But anyway I need to sleep now cuz it's actually 1:15am 
 
And goodnight.

33) Death Note - Live Action Movie

Shit oh shit I know I said something about the continuation of music recs but I found something MUCH MUCH SO BLOODY MUCH more important that I HAVE TO BLOG.
 
                        
 
Death Note. LIVE ACTION MOVIE. OMFGWTHOMGOMGBBQ!!111one11
 
Ok all you manga-deprived, I KNOW you don't get it so I'll explain.
 
 
DN summary:
Death Note is a manga (yes yes yes keep reading) about this guy named Raito who came across a black notebook one day outside his school and he picked it up and brought it home. It was called Death Note and it had rules and instructions inside on how to use it. Basically, write a name down with a face in mind and the method of dying and that person will die in the described way. If you don't write a method, the person defaults into a heart attack death. The Death Note belonged to a shinigami (death god - kinda like the Grim Reaper) named Ryuuku who had dropped the book, and so since Raito picked it up, the boy now owns it and Ryuuku just hangs around for entertainment (and apples). Raito is an idealist with a passion to rid the world of evil and he is soon slowly killing off a gradually increasing number of people he thinks the earth can do without - criminals and evil-doers and stuff. The world soon comes to realize that there was a being who had the power to kill and was using it too and they begin to call this unknowned power Kira. The society splits into two groups - Anti-Kira people who disapprove of his doings as they believe he doesn't have the right to judge who are evil and who deserves to die. And pro-Kira people who see the fact that crime rates went down A LOT and they think his way of the world is the right way so they go so far as to even worship him. The government and police are confused with the frequency of deaths and are unable to stop it and so top detective L steps into the scene. Catch: both Raito and L are SUPER GENUISES. Like, UBER smart. It's a battle of wits as L tries to find Kira and Raito (aka Kira) joins L's group in search for Kira but with the ulterior motive of killing him off.
 
Complex yes? But fantastic storyline. I only fear movie subtitles may destroy any small remnants of understanding.
 
 
 See the resemblence with the whole apple thing? Ignore the fact that the guy on the movie poster looks a heck of a lot better than the strange looking animal here (it's Ryuuku and he loves apples. I'm not too sure how the movie's gonna bring him about cuz they gon need someone U-G-L-Y. So maybe CG is the way to go.)
 
 
CHARACTERS:
 
Yagami Raito:
 in the manga and  (Fujiwara Tatsuya) in the live action movie.
 
L:
 in the manga and  (Matsuyama Kenichi) in the movie. [Does he look like Jay Chou or WHAT?]
 
 
I don't know if it's just ME or if the casting for L and Raito really REALLY need to swap places. Fujiwara with the big buggy eyes just MAY perfect L's look and he seems to be the kind that can quite posibly pull off the L eccentricity.. (No you don't understand. L is WEIRD. Like retarded-genius kinda weird. You don't get it.) He looks too.. cute for Raito!! Cuz Raito is.. cool and.. evil. Not. Cute. He doesn't do cute well.
 
And Matsuyama looks so much more evil and can SO be Raito!! What is WRONG with the Japanese producers?? Well if they gonna keep the castings that way, Matsuyama better be prepared for the strangest act in his career, painfully unnatural postures (don't get your thoughts dirty, please..), long wild unkempt hair, and much much eyeliner. MUCH.
 
 
I wasn't actually that surprised when I heard there was a DN live action movie coming out. Cuz compared to Naruto and Bleach and One Piece, it's a piece of cake (soz.. L pun..) producing. But what gets me is that the Death Note anime isn't even out yet - it's still progressing on the manga, so the movie coming out is just.. wow. Fast.
 
I didn't mention Dani California by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is the opening theme, did I? <__<;;
 
Here's the DeathNote movie trailer. Buffering ain't too bad but it starts to feel more like a slideshow than anything else.
