Kagrra,'s last live dvd has been postponed till July. It's probably just a few weeks (I hope) but it's nerve-wrecking not to know the new release date. I had wished I'd get the DVD before our Paris trip.

Also, I finally ordered a copy of Gemini. I have to wait for that one too since the order also included NMB48's new single which is due... 29th day? Now I'm pondering if I could afford ordering MUCC's Winter Circuit 2010 live too, the setlist is great and I haven't bought any MUCC stuff since... Kyuutai.

...I love online shopping♥

Going out with C-chan today! ♥ I'm doing a bit of laundry first, just waiting a bit longer so that I won't wake all the neighbors up with our loud washing machine. I woke up at six thirty because Juha decided to go to work for a few hours before the company sets off for an annual spring/summer trip. He deserves a break, he's been working like a maniac lately. His summer vacation starts next week, yey! We are finally going to the local amusement park, and he mentioned about wanting to go to Estonia for a few days :D It would be fun. I've been there a couple of times myself but I've never got to see the old town of Tallin. They say it's really beautiful.

AND I GOT MY JOSH GROBAN TICKETS! ^o^ 26.9. is the date if I remember correctly. Can't wait~

(Lots of fun things ahead actually, now that I'm looking at my list. And here I was, whining how badly my summer will suck, lol.)

Look, my profile got completely re-vamped... after, what, three or four years? :D Me likey♥ I added a few links there (Deviantart, My Dramalist etc) as well as a quote section. Tora says the most amazing things, doesn't he? :)

AND DID YOU PEOPLE KNOW (because heck, I didn't!♥) that in kdrama Pasta (that I'm finally watching yey!) the guy who plays kim-jae-wook-ish Phillip is actually the TRAX's ex-drummer Rose! :0 I had no idea. He looks so... different, wow. Fantastic♥ *continues spazzing*

I was supposed to finish chapter five of Good Samaritan but instead I ended up messing around with the layout. Graah. Now I'm hungry. Perhaps a bit of salad and an epi of All Creatures Great and Small now.

Hola! I haven't been updating much lately :p I was in Huittinen for a few days. My hometown's population is around 11,000, and now that there was a brutal murder case revealed, it has gotten the town buzzing! I always complain nothing ever happens there, lol.

Anyway, I have  A BUNCH of pics and even some vids from my trip there, probably posting some of them soon. Also, my sister has gotten me into AKB48 (I can't even lie anymore; I'm getting addicted!) and I might make an AKB48 post of my own to introduce my newest fandom to you, yo. There're a bazillion of girls involved but I'm slowly learning their names and personalities, and I have a few favourites already, so yeah, I guess "fandom" is a proper name for this crush-type-of-thing :D

Also, this is a bit ex tempore but I'm going to Paris, France for five days! Dad was supposed to go with my youngest sister (well young and young, she turned 18 in February XD) but things happened and now I'm going with her instead. I'm excited but also friggin' nervous, considering this is the first time I have booked flight tickets and hotel all by myself. The flight tickets should be okay, it's the hotel I'm worried about. If it's full of rats and cleptomanic cleaners I just don't know how I will react. Well, time will show! I smell an adventure :D

Anyhoo, that's briefly what I've been up to lately. Since Alice Nine's new single is A-MA-ZING, I thought I'd finally make a few memes I've been having floating around. I don't remember from who I stole these originally but oh well.



( Jrock memeCollapse )



Another meme which just refuses to go behind a cut! I just hate rich text tool, I'm not even sure why I try using it from time to times DD:

I have a picspam for you but the camera's battery ran out, so I'm not sharing them yet. Aalso, I've watched a bunch of movies of which I'd like to babble, so expect a fangirly rant soon, too :) Anygays, I'm bored as hell now. Juha's been working double shifts this week, leaving me stare at my thumbs in the lack of better things to do. I don't have enough money to do anything fun. Luckily, mom promised me a little money so I can FINALLY buy a new pair of glasses :Dv The ones I have now are giving me headache more often than not.

Uh, wait, what?! Japan, I say this very, very rarely but I'm kind of hating you right now D:

You're Beautiful is one of the most amazing dramas I've ever watched. Srsly. It's funny, and the male cast is perfection. I've been in love with Jung YongHwa and Jang Geun Suk ever since.

And now some Japanese money-greed twats are filming a re-make. RARGH. Perhaps, maybe, I could imagine Fujigaya doing "that prickly Tae Kyung" but now it seems he has been casted as Shin Woo instead. The other two, wtf. The Tamamori dude doesn't have the least of resemblance to Tae Kyung and wtf is the third boy, I don't even. Blasphemy! I ♥ my Jeremy :(

I'm probably self-destructive enough to watch a few eps though. Curiosity killed the cat and so on.

I need more good drama news to compensate for the idiocy that's been going on lately, first with HanaKimi and now this! Yamapi, announce a new romantic silly-ass drama, I need you!

RULES :
1. Pick a hot guy...take a moment to think.
2. Is this really the guy you want?
3. Pick his top 10 hottest, cutest, most irresistible pictures.
4. Tag 5 other users.
5. Comment with your favorite pic from my batch, and the link directing to YOUR meme.


( Did you honestly expect me to pick someone else?Collapse )

I'm not tagging anyone because I'm not sure how many of you have already done this meme but feel free to snag, and remember to share your ikemen with me! :Dv

WTF a new version of HanaKimi, this soon? :0! I mean, the previous Japanese HanaKimi drama aired in 2007, right? What's the point in making another only four years later -with the exact same production staff?

AND WHAT THE EFFING HELL, they chose Maeda Atsuko as the lead? There're two actresses that I simply hate and they are Toda Erika and Maeda Atsuko. Maeda's acting is so... wooden. In Q10 her acting fits, and I've quite liked the eps I've watched so far. I mean, she's playing a robot, she doesn't have to be expressive at all. But, she seems somehow fake in every PV and variety show segment I've seen her in.

AAAALSO, I'm going to protest so hard if all the ikemen roles are filled with those clone-like JE Juniors :( (LOL, sorry, here're quite a bunch of JE fans, not meant as an insult. It's just that a quite large portion of them can't act that well, and to my eyes, they look identical. Minus Fujigaya, he's kinda hot. Anddd, well, this is just me, but I like my boys a bit older.) I tried to think of a boy who'd fit Nakatsu's role better than Toma, and I just couldn't come up with any names.

The upcoming drama version of Ouran doesn't inspire me either. The manga provides settings for an excellent gender-bender comedy, however, once again, the casting bugs me. I'm nitpicky I know but could someone explain how they ended up choosing Yamamoto Yusuke for the project? He might do nicely as Hunny but if he's the lead... Well, time shows.

BUT there're also shows that I'm eagerly expecting :D Festival which I've mentioned before, Soredemo, Ikite Yuku (yey, Eita takes a gloomier role!) and Shirota Yu's Arakawa Under The Bridge♥ (On a totally random sidenote, I love the RETARDED tweets Akanishi Jin bombards Yu with 8DD)

Stuff that I'm gonna keep an eye on: Detective Conan (if the cast's good, this will ROCK) anddd Sayonara Itsuka (the cast is epic, I'm just hoping the script will be too).

O-ka-y-h. I think I've ranted and rambled enough for one day :D I'm sorry, I haven't much read flist lately, I have one more exam on Monday +an essay and study diary to return next week as well, so I've been a bit busy. And after that my summer studies began 8DDD so not much vacation for me, I'm afraid.

I'm watching Oprah's sex special, and oh my god, this is endlessly amusing 8D There's a middle-aged sex therapist showing pictures of female genitals to the group of middle-aged women that form the audience. It's both brilliant and hilarious! :'D Yes, it's an important topic and whatnot but it just makes me wonder once again how bad the sex ed is in US. I remember when I had to go to sex ed classes in junior high school, our lecturer showed us actual photographs of female anatomy down there instead of a bunch of drawings. (I still remember the one time when she demonstrated the use of condoms with carrots 8DD It was so epicly humiliating to watch her do that. Oh boys, I don't miss junior high school at all!)

In Finland nudity is ok in general. People of all ages go to sauna together -boys, girls, men, women-, there's nothing weird about it. In public swimming halls there're of course men's side and women's side but for example, when someone's having a party at a summer cottage, people just go to the sauna together, no matter what their gender is.

Well, I'm used to seeing naked people, I come from the countryside. I've heard some girls say here in Helsinki that they prefer going to sauna all by themselves. It's a bit odd but of course, to each his own, as the saying goes. (Dunno, I'm just so used to seeing naked Juha strolling around in our apartment at weekends that I really don't care anymore. Plus, he has a nice body, I don't mind watching his pretty butt 8D)

60 words

Speed test

Oh yeah baby, I'm good 8D I would've gotten maybe two words more if I hadn't had to delete letters a few times. But, basically, I type a word per second in Finnish! (Can I add that to my CV? XD)

And this is what I got when I tried the test in English:

79 words

typing test

Not bad, either, me thinks.

Oooother than that, my Japanese grammar exam went well. Tomorrow's kanji/listening comprehension/reading comprehension will suck but whatever. Too tired to stress anymore. I'll read a bit more and then it's TV the rest of the night. Supernatural and Project Runway Finland♥

AND OH HELLO ALICE NINE, I love you so much it hurts♥! :D The Blue Flame PV is absolutely delicious. Because Saga differs so much from the others by style (white clothes, dark, messy make-up), I'm guessing the video is implying he died or is in coma or something along those lines? And ohmigosh, NAO, I didn't know you can throw such a sexy little rage!fit♥ I'm not even going to mention Tora, the drooling and squeling would never stop.



I'm abusing ♥ today. But Alice Nine is worth it. Fellow fans, come and flail with me! :Dv


EDIT: haha, these exams are messing up my head! :D I thought today was Tuesday. I opened telly and was horrified to find out that neither would air today, Supernatural or Project Runway. And theeen I realized that oh fucking yes, they air on Tuesdays and today is still Monday. *facepalm* I'm stupid.

BUT BUT BUT!! My sunflowers and tomatoes are growing fast, like fuuuuuuuuum!♥ Yesterday they had barely started to crawl out of the seeds, today there's already several ~5cm tall sprouts^o^

I planted
*carrots
*tomatoes
*peas

+a miscellaneous selection of flowers, including sun flowers.

Now, I have no idea if any of those will grow, considering I put them in pots (no garden, just balcony). But, I'm determined to try my best! And, if nothing else, we bought a cactus, so I will have something green at least 8)

I have one fucking essay to write today, ~5 pages. Then I can just sit back and relax. I should read kanji a bit more for next week's exam but whateveeeer. I want to write fics♥

PS. Finland's version of "Four Weddings" is quite entertaining. My wedding fever shot up through the roof again. I want to get married and have a fluffy dress and bake cheese cake and and and write flowery invitations waah. Juuuhaaaa, marry me soon plskthanx.
