(This one isn't super important since everyone already has the lyrics, but I wanted to post (& tweak) it anyway.)

"so" is in english, off their first album FANFARE (ファンファーレ) under Toshiba-EMI in 1999. Guitarist Ishizaka Yoshiharu composed it, & also wrote the lyrics along with Lynne Hobday, a British expat living in Tokyo.

Heyyy so I went into the bathroom a couple nights ago & my dad had left the radio on HRB & they were playing something that sounded Japanese & it was catchy enough so I tried to google the lyrics but apparently no one bothered to romanize them yet so...uh...yeah this is definitely a series.

Alternative Title: Bomb-Ass Holiday Cookies

The first thing you should know about me in the kitchen is that I am Lazy As Fuck.  Left to my own devices, I eat instant ramen and boxed macaroni-&-cheese out of the saucepan I make them in, so I don't have to wash dishes.  I don't use a colander because I'd have to clean that too, so instead I've ( Read more... )

For the past two-and-a-half years I've been working in a specialty sweets shop that masquerades as a grocery/deli.  Inevitably, I started trying the cookies and chocolates we carry--and we carry a lot of different kinds of cookies & chocolates, imported & local & megabrands alike.  Here are some of the most memorable:

[EDIT: now crossposted on the tumblr]This is something I worked out a while ago...like, in the last two years?  2014ish maybe.  Because I was reading yet another werefic based on hilariously inaccurate theories of grey wolf social structure*, and I decided to finally hammer out my headcanon for D.Gray-characters being wereshifters.  (Also the ( Read more... )

[[EDIT: I switched browsers and spent a full hour on an honest, good-faith attempt to crosspost this on Tumblr.  LJ code is incompatible there, so I did a lot of googling and swapping out terms.  I followed the instructions to the letter (in every sense of the phrase), but it still completely rejected the color formatting; after the third time ( Read more... )
