Oh hey, look who is online again!? Yup. That's right. ME!!! *happy dance*

Which isn't to say that I haven't exactly been without internet connection since I last posted in the warm lobby of the Hilton Seattle where I was enjoying Sakura-Con with some fantastic friends and making new ones. I've had internet......on my blackberry (aka Shige-Dex). I just haven't had time to make a post!

So what's new/happening/exciting in my life in the past two weeks?

( I'm so glad you asked! )

So. How are you doing this fine spring? :D Less hectic than me, I hope. One day soon I will actually comment on your posts! Promise!

Today is full of laziness and leisure.

I slept in until 10am (totally luxurious!) and had a leisurely late lunch!

It's been a wonderful day so far and I have a jug of sun tea brewing outside to sip and enjoy in an hour or so.

Today has been made even sweeter after I found out I have tickets to see KAT-TUN in Osaka and w-inds. in Yokohama! :D SO EXCITED, EVERYONE!!! I flailed super hard at mousaPi and shabz. Now to find tickets for Kanjani8 in Fukui. *crosses fingers!*

BUT I AM REALLY EXCITED TO SEE W-INDS. ON THEIR OPENING CONCERT OF THE TOUR. YES. AND JIN'S HIPS. :D I WILL SEE THEM IN ACTION IN PERSON!!!!

Now I've got America's Best Dance Crew on tv and about to work on jesummary and a few other things.

Best lazy day ever.

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!

Am sick. Woke up with stuffy head. :|

w-inds. HOW I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.


The cover of Beautiful Life looks absolutely fabulous. The other picture is their new pic for their artist profile on Vision Factory. *__________* RYOHEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

I'm stoked because Beautiful Life will be an opening theme for a drama.

Thanks to feel_the_fate for the information!

I just want to curl up at home and sleep until the weekend. But a day and a half longer and this work week will be over. /whines

Am looking to fly down to LA in mid-November to do wedding things with veilsdegto and possibly lilkimmiebaby if she is free. I am torn in booking a room for a night or two if I can't crash at lilkimmiebaby for the weekend. Anyone would want to hang out with me to flail over hot japanese boys and take me to the airport if they can't? *gives cute eyes*

Because I'm going to be like elise_maxwell and steal hotlink use wifey's gif to spam everyone of the hotness that is KEITA. *_____*

kasjf;aslkfja;slfkja;lfk.

YES TO ANYTHING KEITA ASKS. SKLFJ:DSLKJFSD:FK

ALSO. CAN THE DVD TO THIS CONCERT COME OUT SOOOOONER PLZ? KTHX.


Dinner with the girls last night was fantastic. It's always nice to see vanae12 and happy_hien and catch up. I am now planning the next girls' night out as well as a Costumed Wine Party Fundraiser for Rock for AIDS. :Dv

I finally watched w-inds. newest PV, Love is the Greatest Thing (the theme song for the Japanese-dubbed version of Shrek 3 in which Keita is the voice actor for Prince Artie).


*KEYSMASHES* *A LOT* *NO* *REALLY*


OH WOW. I LOVE YOU, W-INDS., FOR BEING THE DORKS THAT YOU ARE. ALSFKJA;SLFJA;FJA; RYOHEI, I WANT A CLOSER LOOK BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST ADORABLE AND HOT AND I LOVE YOUR HAIR. KEITA, THAT BUTT WIGGLE KILLS ME DEAD BECAUSE I REMEMBER HOW HARD YOU TRIED TO SHAKE IT LIKE A SALTSHAKER, GHETTOGIRL STYLE, DURING PRIME OF LIFE CONCERT AND FAAAAAAAAAAAAILED. AND THEN YOU MARGINALLY SUCCEEDED LATER ON. RYUICHI, I SO LOVE YOU. YOU FAIL SO BEAUTIFULLY. AND THE FACES!!!! IT IS LIKE "WAH!WAH!WAH!W-INDS. IS COMING!" ALL OVER AGAIN. MEMORIES OF THE FANTASTIC FC EVENTS THAT I WENT TO ARE MAKING ME SPILL OUT IN UTTER GLEE. I SO WANT TO GO TO JAPAN WITH WIFEY AND MOUSAPI AND SEE W-INDS. IN CONCERT AGAIN!

AND THE END!!! OMG. RYOHEI. KEITA. RYUICHI. ILUSM. SO. SO. SO. SOOOOO. MUCH. IT IS THE BEST ENDING TO A PV I HAVE SEEN A REALLY LONG TIME. THE ABSOLUTE BEST.

This PV has raised my tension. I love, love, love how they did the PV for this. I love the sound of it. I totally thought it would be more like Trial (which, for those who didn't know, is the theme song for the Japanese version of Goal!) but they proved me wrong and continued with the funkier style that was prevalent in Journey (their sixth album!) that I adore. It's all happy and energetic and omg, I am so in love with this song.


;aklfj;alkfj;aslfja;lsfkja;lfja;fkj w-inds.!!!!!!

P.S. I will link y'all to wifey's Superduperfantabulous w-inds. site for all your w-inds. needs. She'll put up the links for this PV up during her dinner time if anyone on my flist who aren't on hers wants to nab it see exactly why I am flailing so much. ♥!!!!

oh wow.

why are the drummers and the bass guitarists always so freakin' hot?!

*_______*


Watching SiWon play the drums for TRAX pulled me into SuJu and Trax (Because Jay's voice is just GUH. *___*) and it helps that SiWon is model hot.

And now, watching Ohkura play the drums in the first K8 song I liked (Heavenly Psycho) made me all melty and I am resisting Kanjani8 even though I heard this song ages ago when shabzilla got into k8. But she didn't she me enough of the utter FAIL that are the members of K8 and thus, I was not sucked in.


PLUS, TURNTABLES. Linkin Park has Mr. Hahn. *_* HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN-CHAN as Miyavi calls him. EPIK HIGH has DJ Tukutz. *___*


There is no point to this post other than to flail over hot boys playing instruments. *___________*



P.S. I heard the drunks are back! XD

FWHEEEEE!!!

JIN

OMG. kenaressa, TELL ME ALL ABOUT HOW THAT GOES. *WAITS FOR DETAILS!*


This is such happy news in face of all the naysayers who said he wouldn't be back or that he's in back in Japan to do his exit papers from JE, or that he's gotten too fat doing the McDonald's only diet. JIN IS BACK. WITH PRETTY HAIR AND CHUBBY CHEEKS AND NO BAGS UNDER HIS EYES. *happy he lost the skeletor look*

*abuses icon the wonderful shabzilla made for me all day long* :3
