(no subject)
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! I've been too lazy...xD Anyways, I come with gifts! \o/
I went to a Japanese market the other day, and I picked up some awesome goods! I got a cute plushie of Renji from Bleach in a kimono, an Evangelion Gakuen blind box figure (it ended up being a cute girl version of the Jet Alone), the Shaka Labbits CD "Uso wo Mazekonda Shinjitsu no Soup", a lot of Japanese junk food (peach Calpico has calcium? xD, and a copy of a Japanese hip-hop magazine called Woofin' Girl (odd name...), which had Namie Amuro on the cover.
The cover was the best picture I've ever seen of Namie. I swear, I would've picked up this magazine for the cover even if I didn't know who she was!
What I love about this picture is how Namie has this down-but-not-out thing going on. Like she's just lost round one, but is gonna come back stronger for round two. And that's what her career is like to. She was a huge hit with the Super Monkey's and as a dance-pop singer, but then she went through some troubled times both professionally and personally, before coming back even stronger with a brand new hip-hop sound. I admire Namie a lot for her strength, pulling through the tragedy of her mother being murdered to reinvent herself and become an artist in control of her image and music, going from the dance-pop that made her successful to a unique hip-pop sound and style.
If anyone would like, I have the magazine scans here, which include many more sexy/cute/cool images of Namie, as well as an interview (which anyone could translate if they want *wink wink*)

I've been listening to Maaya Sakamoto's "Lucy" album a lot lately. It's really good-full of unique melodies and pretty acoustic guitars. I've always loved Maaya's sweet, soothing voice, and this is the first time I've gotten to hear her single something other than anime songs. If anyone's interested, I'm putting it up for download here. If you like acoustic, indie music, you'd probably really like Maaya. Plus, I recently found out that she is the Japanese dub voice for Rose from Doctor Who, so bonus points for DW fans! xD

I've been so happy recently with Karl Rove leaving and all. It would be funny if he actually did work on the Colbert Report. I mean, I wonder how the show would be used to destroy world peace. Someone should write a fic like that, with character!Stephen...xD

High School Musical 2 in two days! ^^ I hope that it's entertaining! I really liked the first HSM for it's cute silliness-it's kinda stupid, but really fun. I hope that this new movie is just as awesome. I'm trying to draw Troy in celebration of the premiere, but although I got him down, none of the pictures I drew look good. I will draw an awesome picture of Troy, even if it takes me all night! xD
