I was rambling to Chris yesterday about how D-STAGE rehearsal still hadn't started and guess what happened today? XD
Yep, that's right.
Well, most of you already know anyway :P

And while everyone is squeeing over Kaji and Zukki finally together again (♥) I find myself alone squeeing over Yanagi being back in Yuichi's blog ♥

A little closer, Yuichi! XD

Apparently Kaji will have a big role in the play again and that's great. With Yuyan gone, he's probably the best actor in the regular cast. Shirota is a regular but I doubt he'll have time to rehearse for a big part with all the extra stuff he's doing (plus as far as acting skills go, I still think Kaji is better).

I like the idea of rival school-teams. I wonder who will be in the 'antagonist' team >D
I'm getting excited for it! ^o^

Japanese class is dragging on...
I haven't updated much about it cause the teacher doesn't give me time to learn or even understand exactly what she's explaining.
Tonight we had a new revelation. The が　.
Until today the one grammatical particle you had to put everywhere was は. Tonight we found examples in the book with this が　and you think she explained to us what is it?
No, of course not!
We just got told that when saying things like 'Tanaka-san ga kimashita', you can't omit the が.
WTF, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD TO PUT IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
*is confuzzled and annoyed*

This is why I think that I'll continue learning japanese on my own, with a grammar book and sites.
The course will end in 2 weeks and a new one will start immediately afterwards, but I really don't feel like spending 300€ for stuff that I have to understand and learn on my own anyway.


In other, fandom news... Raise your hand if this pic creeped the hell out of you.
It looks like one of those chairs for people with spine immobility O_O
And while looking at the blog to link the post I found Miki on there... she's such a good girlfriend, she went to see his rehearsals? XD


Anyway, I realized I've been post-poning watching too many things and now the pile of drama/movies/plays I have to cacth up to is getting out of hand.
So, in my indecision I'm asking for your help ^^;


What should I watch first? ) Too lazy to switch to Rich text and make a poll)
Sohji (historical play with Yanagi)
☆ Tokyo Ghost Trip
☆ Takumi-kun movie
☆ Yukan Club (promised Chris I'd do it ^^;)
☆ Higamyu
☆ Not of them above! You should watch... (specify in comments :P )

Thanks! ^^

I'm so sorry for not updating in so long.
I'm alive and well XD
What was behind this prolonged silence was partly RL happenings (studying, best friend's birthday etc...) and partly the usual laziness that hits me every single year in the spring.
I kept waiting to have something interesting to post about that wasn't RL-related but alas... nothing came to mind.

Unless you guys are interested in me flailing over Yanagi+Endo or Yanagi+Takiguchi Yukihiro XD

Well... I have to comment about the last one at least :P
I seriously have to wonder what got into that boy, no kidding. Far from me to complain about it, but 2 posts in 2 days professing his love for Yanagi? xDDD
After a Tadashi Ouji... event

And the day after that

(The second one cracked me up. According to my faithful enabler translator Yanagi just showed up to greet Takki at a 3-way interview Takki was having with Kiriyama and Trystan. xD
This is what happens when you gush about him the day before: he thinks it's fair game to stalk you! xDDD ).
In a way it's cute how Takki says he wishes he could work one day on stage with Yanagi... maybe it'll happen!
For now Yanagi scored another leading role for a stage play in August tho >D


Anyway folks, how are you?
I've tried to keep up at least with my F List as much as I could, but if I missed something or you wish to let me know anything, fire away! ^o^

Today was a national holiday.
I was supposed to spend the day boring myself to tears with my parents at home, since my BF was trying to get some much needed sleep after starting her job (I'm meeting her tomorrow evening with some of the other girls for pre-dinner drinks).

Instead I decided to take up on the out-of-the-blue invite I got yesterday from one of my jap classmates and went out for lunch with her.
We were supposed to eat chinese with a friend of hers, but we ended up having an extra guy and eating japanese :P
It was fun!
They're pretty laid back, and 2 of them share my love for japanese things, obviously XD

Somehow lunch turned into an 'all day hanging out' experience with basically ALL of her friends showing up.
We just sat at a bar and drank ginseng iced tea and talked about italian anime openings XDDD
It was refreshing, since none of my friends give a crap about anime or japanese things in general. I can't talk to any of them about the stuff I talk about on here... I told them about my japanese course and they looked at me funny with a face that clearly said 'Why?' before switching to a different topic XD

It was different talking with people who actually understand what I'm talking about and sometimes even know more than me about it XD


Still, I'm glad I'll see my small group again tomorrow.
It's been too long since we managed to be all free to meet. And Elena graduated uni recently so we'll probably celebrate her :P

♥

I wonder if it means Yanagi stalked him on the set of the movie XDDD


In other japanese news, tonight's class was... umm, interesting?
She made us play 'Restaurant'.
One of us was the waiter and we had to actually go out of the room, come in, the 'waiter' would greet us and so on... she even had a printed menu for us and pictures of japanese dishes that the waiter brought to us. And an envelope working as our wallet, with different yen amounts written on sheets of paper XDDD

I think she's really planned the course for someone who needs japanese for an imminent trip to Japan and that's too bad :\
4 out of 5 of us wants to focus on the actual reading and writing, only 1 is interested in immediate day-to-day japanese.

Oh well, it's still japanese XD
Guess at the end of the course I'll try to self-teach myself the rest.


Now, if only this annoying cold would pass already... I'm afraid my nose will fall off by tomorrow morning =_=

I finally finished watching this drama.
I'm glad I decided to check it out.
For those who don't know it's a drama about 4 vampires with a slight shonen-ai theme (which probably is more evident in the manga).

It's nothing earth-shattering, but really if you want 'earth-shattering' I doubt a japanese drama is the place to look for it.
But I really enjoyed it. It went against a lot of vampire-cliché and the concept of vampires seeking company and wanting a family was somewhat different, enjoyable.

Surprisingly, I also liked all the characters. Even Ami, as annoying as she was, had her good moments. I liked her in the episode where Makoto run away from home.
I really liked Makoto, the lead character, but my favorite was probably Masakazu.
His 'irresponsibility', his apparently caring only about himself and getting girls... and how all of that disappears the minute one of the guys he considers his 'family' is in trouble.
He's so lovable, and his scenes with Haruka were priceless |D

All in all, I'd def. recommend you to check it out if you have time ^^

There's only one thing that drives me nuts about this serie. There seems to be no fandom for it.
No fansites, no fanwork, no fics, no communities... nothing ;__;

Sorry it took a while, fila_desu and sleepin_24o7.

So, without further ado...

I want some of the meds this boy is on, they must be freaking awesome! XDDD

I was happily browsing my f list after an afternoon of HELL (suffice to say that it involved grandparents and fixing a pc they screwed up), when I hear my father yelling 'ROCKY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, YOU RETARD!!'.

Now this is nothing unusual, my cat has done one too many insane things for me to be surprised (my favorite was being on the phone with a friend and not paying any attention to her, too busy freaking out over my cat walking on the drying racks on the balcony facing the street... =_=).

I decided to check out the situation anyway, and what did I find?

(  See for yourself )

I first heard of it on Saturday but I can't get over it.
They showed her on the news right before starting her trip, talking about wanting to demonstrate that people can and should be trusted... and look where her trust led her =((


Sorry for the short gloomy update, but I needed to get it out of my chest :\
