真っ赤に染まれ！！
WHOA ROCK! I lurve the intro guitar to Makka na yoru. Such a sharp contrast to HEAVEN. Sakurai's singing is loud and wild. I'd like to see this performed live. It falls somewhere between MLOD and Six/Nine in spectrum. Dunno if it'll become a favorite, but they're showing off their range again ( Read more... ) -
空に舞い舞い上がる？ 空いっぱい舞い上がる？
Like a good fan, I've been watching the PV for Buck-Tick's new single, Heaven, repeatedly since yesterday. On first listen, I thought it was just 'meh'. But it's grown on me. I like it now. You can easily find it on youtube, but I thought I'd share the nico nico douga one with a fan's "soramimi" lyrics included. Now we can sing along! (even if they ( Read more... ) -
Revenge of the Virgin!
There was a film called Repulsion on the FEARNET channel that seemed interesting based on the description: Left alone when her sister goes on vacation, a sexually repressed young beauty goes insane with surreal fantasies of seduction and rape. Lovely! :D ( Read more... ) -
Of Worlds That Aren't
I've never completely read all of "The Hobbit". Rather, it was read to me by Mrs. Palombo in the 4th grade. We also watched the animated movie. It had a big impact on my childhood imagination. So needless to say I'm crazy excited that Guillermo Del Toro is directing the movie version. If you didn't know, yes, they're making it into a movie, two ( Read more... ) -
Forgive me while I freak out.
So far, the 21st century sucks. It feels like the whole world has gone mad. News of the financial markets are so depressing. We've got "war on terror" in Afghanistan, a war in Iraq, the usual conflicts that ail Israel, precarious relations with Iran, crazy North Korea, genocide and civil war in the Sudan (Darfur!), and while everyone is distracted ( Read more... ) -
Return of Guniw Tools??!!!
Okay. I'm freaking out here. Someone may have mentioned this already, but I don't read lj regularly so I'm sorry. But I was trying to fix some MP3 tags (instead of doing my Japanese homework) and found myself over at niwlun.net. Didn't it disappear before? Or am I confused? Anyway, it seems it's up (again) as just a post-Guniw members' info page of ( Read more... ) -
Save EALC!
I know this has nothing to do with you guys, but could you take a look at this petition and maybe even sign it?? :D I'd reallllly appreciate it. You see, there are going to be massive budget cuts coming that somehow worked out to disproportionately affect the department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. The Korean department might get wiped out ( Read more... ) -
Go Away White!
So...I've been hiding. My Japanese teacher says it's Spring and I'm not allowed to be depressed but I can't help it. ^^;; Well, the sakura trees are all in bloom around campus and it's lovely. But I just feel so blah. At least the new building for the East Asian Library is open now. I've been looking forward to it; the old one was one of my ( Read more... ) -
Facebook and Macbook
I have new books.
I got a Facebook. Yes, I caved and joined. But I still refuse to join myspace! windbourne is right. Facebook is silly fun. I can't stop adding stupid apps to my profile and filling them in. I gave up adding books, videogames, and albums to their respective "shelf" and "racks". I don't even remember half of what I own. Granted, I'm only ( Read more... ) -
First day of school
goddamn it! I didn't realize today was the last day to register to vote for next month's primary here in CA (15 days before the next election). I just moved so I need to reregister. I've only been here a little over a week. I was sort of counting on someone with a clipboard rounding up registrations on campus to approach me today, the first day of ( Read more... )
