Because this kind of geek awesome has to be shared
Ack I completely missed this, I am so sorry but happy belated birthday to perfectdays and starsthatshine!! I hope you ladies are having a wonderful week.
Also, because I promised tatsuta_hime on Twitter:
COLLEAGUE: Aki, Aki, Aki.
COLLEAGUE: [dumps on my desk]
COLLEAGUE: Happy new year~
AKI: ... h-happy new year.
AKI:
AKI: Is this what I think it is.
COLLEAGUE: You really liked my handmade Darth Vader, so I made you this. C'mon, c'mon, assemble it.

I'm not exactly a hardcore Star Wars fan, but dude, PAPER. HANDMADE. TOO MUCH AWESOME TO TAKE. The hands move and the head moves and just. Amazing.
I also have to show off this darling mouse from inuhariko (ilu bb):
I have to say, I saw the return address and was confused for the longest time. Because it came from some lady called Anna in the Netherlands. I was like, Netherlands? Do I know anyone from Netherlands? Did I forget someone I know from Netherlands? PANIC.
Then I found out the manufacturer was from the Netherlands l-lol.
Not sure what to name Mousie yet. Any suggestions? :D I'm currently flanked by R2D2 on my left and Unnamed Mouse on my right as I type. Happiness~~
Have cut-out bits from the latest Mezamashi promotion of "Saigo no Yakusoku"!
Notice, also, that the two youngest are the ones pawing at Ohno's neck, while the older ones are holding him down. Someone write an Arashi/Ohno orgy now. Anyway um. Cut-out bits!
The interview was supposed to be about their upcoming drama together, but the boys went totally off-track and started talking about what they did for new year's instead. XD
Ohno: I went back to my parent's house on January 1st and 2nd for a bingo tournament.
Nino: Oh, cool!
Ohno: There were four of us and...
Nino: There were four of you and...
Ohno: That one guy from my dad's company.
Nino: This guy keeps showing up! This damn guy!
Sho: He's always around.
Nino: He keeps showing up!
Jun: Is that the guy who played Wii with the family?
Nino: Is he the one who turned up for your year-end party?
Jun: The same one who played bowling with you?
Ohno: He played bowling with us.
Nino: He keeps showing up.
Ohno: We like him.
Sho: (overlap) And it's your year-end party, after all.
Nino: You like him, huh.
Sho: What did you win in the Bingo tournament?
Ohno: I won a necklace.
Aiba: Did you wear it? Did you?
Ohno: I'm wearing it right now.
Nino: What? Really!?
Sho: Show us, show us, show us!
Jun: Where, where, where? Get it out, get it out. Ohhh, he's wearing it! What is it, what is it?
Aiba: It's pretty cute.
Jun: It's cute.
Sho: It has a crown and something black underneath.
Nino: That's cute.
Aiba: Yeah.
Sho: What about you, Nino?
Nino: I stayed at home all day, and it's kind of like tradition now, but I spent new year's organizing old bills.
Aiba: That's tough, that's tough.
Jun: It's the right period for that, but you don't have to do that on the first three days of the year...
Nino: But we don't really have the time to go back to our parent's house, do we?
They talked so much that the staff told them to cut it short. XD
Nino: Sorry! It's our first meet-up for the year, so we had a little too much fun catching up...
Jun: I went on a trip. Within Japan.
Nino: I see, I see. And you, Sho-san?
Sho: I went back to the countryside. You?
Aiba: Whoa, that was way too fast. You should elaborate more on your trip...
Nino: We have to speed it up, though.
Sho: Yes.
Nino: They told us to hurry up.
Aiba: I went overseas.
Sho: Oh I see.
Aiba: Hey! Heyyy!!
Nino: What? We don't really need to hear about your trip.
Aiba: I actually prepared for it, you know.
Sho: Because you're going abroad, right?
Jun: You expected the media to show up.
Aiba: Yeah, show up asking, "Where are you going, Aiba-san? Where are you going?" That's what I imagined, but not a single reporter was there! And I felt so lonely that my friends pretended to be reporters and asked me things. They acted like sound people and did stuff like this, too. Well, that's life.
Aiba: I didn't feel the time at all. It was so fun, it felt like it went by really quickly... hang on, let me prepare a better comment.
Sho: It was fine! It was an appropriate comment!
Sho: What was your favourite scene?
Aiba: My favourite scene? Um, I don't know if I can say this, but I like the last part where CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR. It got fun when we gathered together at the end.
Jun: You're really reaching the spoiler filter with that comment.
Aiba; What?
Nino: Even worse, Aiba-san, it just crossed the line into the filter.
It's revealed that while the other boys always check their performance on the monitors, Nino never does.
Nino: All my interest is focused on the making of the show, so I don't really care about the final product...
But Nino shows a lot of interest in the final products for the other members. <3
Nino: At home, I often drink and watch your dramas, thinking, "I know this guy's phone number." We have the option of enjoying dramas like that, you know?
Aiba: With a feeling of superiority?
Nino: Right, right, right. It's like, "I know this guy. I was just with that guy a few moments ago."
Jun: Leader usually sends us a text after watching our dramas.
Nino: Yeah, he does. Why do you?
Ohno: It's for the same "I know you" kinda feel.
Aiba: Are you trying to confirm that fact!?
Ohno: Or like, "You did a great job."
Jun: I really like this song. I can really feel our ten years of working together. It's got a strong message and it fits the characters as well as the drama's theme.
Sho: I wrote the rap that comes up in the middle of the song...
Sho: ... but it will not play in the ending theme version.
Aiba: The rap, right?
Nino: Because it's intense, right?
Sho: Someday...
Jun: Someday. Someday.
Nino: You would like to have it played, huh?
What are Arashi's ambitions for the year 2010?
Ohno: Good health, clearly.
Jun: Ohno-san, you always say that. You never change it.
Nino: Even after eleven years.
Ohno: Yeah. If you're not healthy, you can't do a thing, so... I think I'll contact you guys a lot this year.
Jun: What do you mean?
Nino: What do you mean?
Ohno: Like, "Are you sleeping well?"
Sho: And then we can't sleep because of your call.
Ohno: "Are you eating salads?"
Jun: If that's the case, why don't you take us out for a meal?
Nino: What will you do if Aiba-san replies, "I haven't had a good meal in a while"?
Ohno: I'll say, "Make sure you eat well."
Nino: Take him out! Take him out somewhere!!
Sho on Waratte Iitomo was hilarious too. XD Maybe when it's out for grabs...
Does anyone else read this JE anon meme prompt and think Twilight? :D;
