~ NewS' weeeek (as translated by solitair)


I love how some of my flist are using emoji as bullet points. The emoji makes me smile. And my day is a bit brighter each time.

I'm feeling pretty good today despite the insomnia and my wrists hurting. I look fab in my favorite black skirt, a cute collared shirt (black w/ white pinstripes!), dangling shell earrings, black and white heels, and lots of black eyeliner. My black glasses makes a perfect statement with my hair down. I should wear it down more often. :D

Just a few things that are on my mind.

Community-oriented


Cranes for Peace.


furiosity got me hooked onto freerice.com and I can't stop playing it. It's a really awesome way to help feed the world. One word at a time.

The fires in So. Cali are still raging on, albeit more contained now. But still, over a half million people evacuated? There are a lot of people who've lost their homes and may have nothing in the upcoming weeks other than what they managed to take with them.

I've been talking with a friend to see if they are any particular agencies doing outreach specifically in So. Cali like donating blankets and clothes and food. I haven't heard any back so far but like pir8fancier, I am willing to donate clothes and blankets if any on my flist needs them.

Also to anyone living in California! Donate blood to the Red Cross! I know there is a need in San Diego county to have a good supply of blood on hand for those injured in the firestorm.

Rock Your Awareness is having a benefit event called "Date a Rockstar" this Saturday at the Elbo Room in San Francisco. Go and party and have some fun with great music from local bands. Maybe you can win a date with the lead singer. Oh, baby.

I updated jesummary this morning. Goodness, people post A LOT. :| The list is super long. Thank goodness, smsummary isn't as long.

NewS' new PV for weeeek I LOVE IT. A LOT. HOT BOYS IN HOT, TRENDY SUITS. ALL BOUNCING AROUND. HAPPILY. SINGING ABOUT THE WEEK. YES. Just......yes.

I am still grooving to Koda Kumi's 38th single, featuring DBSK, called Last Angel. *__________________* Kuu-chan looks really good as she dances, surrounded by the hot and tall DBSK. I LOVE their outfits. Jaejoong's hair! Junsu's streak of silver and goggles! Yunho's beanie! Changmin and the hoodie and wet bangs flopping in his eyes! Yoochun just pimping it! Junsu club-grooving up towards Kuu-chan! SO MUCH LOVE. I've had that PV on repeat for the last 4 days. Just so you know. :D

Yuukan Club. Episode 2 Jin. Just....yeah. Jin is so pretty and adorably dumb and hot and it's so cute that he tries really hard. And YOKO. I love his Tokyo accent even though it's a bit disconcerting sometimes because I'm so used to him talking in Kansai-ben and being loud and cheerful. It's AWESOME that his character is the well-rounded one and the calmest one. He's like Kyouya of Ouran Host Club. *_______*

Tonight is drama night with sandpanther. I am looking forward to next episode of Liar's Game and maybe Tantei Gakuen Q. It's a bit hard to understand Tantei GQ since it is raw but I can always ask her questions if I get lost on the storyline. :D

I keep trying to write for my holiday fic fests and nothing wants to come out but PIN. :| *kicks* Self, stop writing the wrong pairing!

OMG I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE THE OURAN CONNECTION. yuu is so kyouya, only kyouya is hotter. i do love yuu's character though, but not as much as JUNNO. god junno is amazing.

the subs aren't out for the second ep yet? :(

I AM SO HAPPY I COULD READ YOUR SUBJECT TITLE BEFORE THE TRANSLATION. ♥

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

YES. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I LOVE KYOUYA AND TO SEE YOKO ACT A BIT LIKE HIM. *______________________*


Also, the subs ARE out but only on d-addicts. Love Song just released it this morning. Need the link?

YES. OMG. YAY FOR YOU!!! I really love the lyrics to weeeek! Shige sounds SO DARN GOOD. OMG. *____________*

[ryogrande.livejournal.com]

i'll have to wait until i get home to dl it anyway but yeah sure, save me a trip to d-addicts website. lol i need to make an account there anyway.

I AM SAD BECAUSE EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT THAT PV AND I HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET AND NOR CAN I BECAUSE I AM AT WORK. SAAAAAAAADFACE.

lol shige's voice is synthesized. i mean WHAT. >_>

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

Same here! Here you go. (http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_54434.htm)

:D YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT. OMG. THE MEMBER-AI IN NEWS. A;LSKFJ;ALKFJ;ALDKF I HAVE IT ON LOOP RIGHT NOW. IT IS SERIOUSLY AN AWESOME PV THAT IS FULL OF CRACK AND HOT GUYS IN REALLY NICE SUITS. OMG. *__________*


hahah. But he sounds REALLY good in his solo part in this PV since they let him sing in his normal vocal range. *________*

[ryogrande.livejournal.com]

since they let him sing in his normal vocal range. *________*

NO SHIT? you mean they don't think he's a freaking first tenor anymore? FINALLY someone realizes that japanese boys can in fact be baritones, especially substantially HOT ones who have great smiles. promote whoever arranged that song, for srs. it's my new favorite song and i haven't even heard it yet.

[thunder]

oh man, weeeek. the lyrics are like, so real.

I've fallen into a pattern that I just can't break out of
I've got loads to do, but I don't feel like doing anything at all!
With only 4 hours of sleep per day
I pour everything into maintaining this kind of stamina everyday
What does it mean to be an adult?

this is so me. ;_;

nothing wants to come out but PIN.

Why is this a bad thing. DD: Pin = happy!

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

YES. OH HOW I LOVE IT. Greeeen DID A FANTASTIC JOB WRITING THIS SONG. *_______*

So us!

It's not a bad thing at all! Just not when I'm trying to write my je_holiday fic or the DBSK one. >_>

I may finish and post after I get off work.

[ilanala]

I wish I could trade you fic fest assignments. I should be writing Pin, but I don't want to. D:

Why are you watching Tantei Gakuen Q raw? There are softsubs out for the whole series now. I watch a lot of things raw, but I would think that one would be tough, since it would be hard to follow the mystery...

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

I knoooow. D: Pin flows way too easily for me. The story I'm trying to come up with doesn't want to come out at so I may be reduced to just writing smut.

There are softsubs? :O I don't know where they could be! sandpanther dl'ed the series as a passing fancy and we became more interested in it after watching the first episode not that I remembered Yamada Ryosuke is in it. I liked the first few episodes of the anime but then I got into jdramas and ran out of space.

It's interesting to try and follow it raw. I'm picking out every 10th word or something. Which is pretty good and I understand the gist of it. But softsubs!

[ilanala]

Well, at least smut is an option if all else fails. But you still have time to poke at the story and try to make it work, don't you?

I started watching TGQ when it came out since I like the anime. It's a fun series, and surprisingly well-acted considering the number of young actors in it. Subs are here if you want them. Subs are out for all episodes (although for episodes 7-11 there are intimidating notes about how they're alpha version subs and you must replace them with the real ones when they're available).

Yeah, I like watching things raw sometimes, but it gets frustrating when there's big drama happening and you can't figure out what's going on. You'll definitely want for subs as things get more complicated later in the series.

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's my last resort since I do want to write something that's not smutty. Still, knowing I have it done and over with will make things easier when the holiday activities start up. :/ Lots of social obligations are coming up.

Oooh. It seemed really good in just the initial episode. Maybe I'll dl and transfer them over to sandpanther's computer when we watch the next episode tonight. (hmmm. that sounds like a pain in the arse. why release softsubs if they aren't going to be the real ones?)

Good to know that the plot will get a bit more complicated later!

OMg... I'm totally addicted to freerice.com now...

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

Where do you get your emoji? Because I've been using the googlecache of this page (http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:gdkRbQhuMSYJ:www.sixteenth-moon.net/jweb.html+jweb+emoji&hl=de&ct=clnk&cd=59&gl=at&client=firefox-a), which is fine I suppose, but it's a little awkward.

Also, I am addicted to freerice.com. I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand -- supporting people in need! On the other hand -- I'm not getting anything done!
