Res ipsa loquitur tabula in naufragio
My rather unsurprising lack of activity was surprisingly due to Jdrama related reasons.
Firstly, I bought Binbo Danshi after thinking about it for long and hard (approximately ten minutes and weighing in the pro's and con's).
Pros: MIURAHARUMA!, OGURISHUN!, MIURAHARUMA!, BOIS!, their utterly masculine, not at all weepy-uke like MANLY ROMANCE. THE WRITERS TOSSING ASIDE ROMANCE WITH YAMADA YUU FOR ROMANCE WITH SHIRAISHI! C'mon, you can't watch that and tell me that Kazumi and Ryo were so totally NOT IN LOVE! Ryo ships him like a infatuated fanboy and Kazumi would probably give him his underwear if he thought Ryo would need it! And the good bye at the end, seriously? They make HARD GAY look like the poster boy for closeted heterosexuals! Then someone getting PWNED by a shoe! That SOMEONE is a POLICEOFFICER! Western movie characters always move to do so, but YAMADA YUU CLOBBERED HIM IN THE HEAD WITH A SIZE 6 PUMP-SHOE! If that isn't awesome that that Oguri Shun wasn't going for Tsukasa's-jilted-lover when he played Hanazawa Rui!
Cons: ...
...
...
Let's go back to the Pros: Shiraishi being in absolute love with Kazumi! LOL OMG! Is that...ITS ENATSU FROM ROOKIES! I was just watching him when I left off ROOKIES on episode...8, I think and it's good because the second reason I wasn't active *shockingshocking*
(PS- Cons: Shiraishi...Burn. That. Jumper. Plzkthxbye)
I BOUGHT ROOKIES! AND I regret the day I put it on hold due to unforeseen reasons (read: got lazy to download). ROOKIES--which is so awesome it deserves all caps regardless--is seriously one of my all time favourite dramas! Right up there with Ikebukuro West Gate Park, Nobuta Wo Produce, Gokusen, Hana Yori Dango...and a few more that I think may be my favourite, but I can't recall them at the preset moment.
AAAAANIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AISTERUYO!
I had gone into this drama to watch Shirota Yuu because...well, it's SHIROTA YUU! I LOVE SHIROTA YUU! Shirota Yuu is number one on the bazillion 'top ten guys I'd kiss' list that I haven't gotten around to posting yet! But after CROWS ZERO, I started paying closer attention to Takaoka Sousuke because he's fricking IZAKI, bitches! He rocks the blonde spikes, but looks good with the bosozoku 'do regardless.
BIG STAR JA NE!!
And ANIYA because Aniya has sex with air everytime he talks and breaths and as darkeyedwolf put it, 'makes oral sex to a cigarette'! Aniya has sex in the baseball locker room, and it's so awesome that EVERYONE knows that it's Aniya's manly scent and not some other redundant sexless person like Okada or Hiyama. Or the ultimate unresolved sexual tensioned Shinjo.
Wait a minute! Aniya's MANLY MAN SEX SCENT in the locker room most probably covered up Shinjo's NOT AS MANLY MAN SEX SCENT. Yes! That's the only explanation, because when we saw the girl, they were just kissing and both had their bottom item of clothing still on. And you can't tell me that Shirota wasn't going for the I-want-Aniya-so-bad-it-hurts when he played Shinjo. If you tell me that, then it'll be like you telling me that Shiraishi didn't want Kazumi...he didn't want him BAD!
The shared secret looks. The way Shinjo says '~Aniya' with so much passion and love. The way Shinjo only accepts his acceptance to the team when ANIYA accepts him. And the roof scene in the first episode!
(What we saw. The edited scene)
"...I know that this would happen~"
(What we DIDN'T see. The uncut version)
"I knew that someone will come in and try to change everything and that you're going to love me less, be enamoured by his passion and virtue then leave me all together! I knew that this would happen! See what I did when I beat the shit out of Sekikawa for urging this change along! See what I did there?! I was protecting our LOVE! Aniya, how could you?...But even so, I knew. I just knew that this would happen~"
Shinjo walks off dejectedly, lip cut and bleeding the red liquid pumped by his broken heart. Aniya can't do anything but stare at his receeding back, guilt and sadness overwhelming his being
KYAAAAAAAAAA!!
And the last episode! Aishteruyo, Aniyaaaaaaa!
Mikoshiba can go jump in the river. Too many flashbacks and at one point I think he had a booger hanging out his nose. I can't concentrate on anything else in that scene, not even ANIYA'S MANLY PRESENCE. Damn you, Mikoshiba! Damn you to hell!
I'm going to make a fangirling post totally dedicated to ROOKIES next time and it'll be posted after the bazillion 'top ten guys I'd kiss' post probably
Oh and by the way, to the producers of ROOKIES.
The SP? What the hell was that? It was basically the entire season of ROOKIES jammed into 2 hours with about five minutes taped onto the back.
But I have to admit...those were amusing five minutes. Totally made up for the money I would have wasted on the SP REHASH OF THE DRAMA I. JUST. BOUGHT!
The movie better come out soon, you bastards!
And in other news; because my treacherous spending habit decided that I still had money left over and I wasn't yet COMPLETELY broke, I bought a bag. This bag is NEON GREEN. It's really quite a shocking NEON GREEN for me that it deserves all caps. I don't know why I bought it, I don't even have have any NEON GREEN clothes. I do have a NEON GREEN bottle of cutex, so I decided to commamerate that I was such a shopping whore, I celebrated by doing my nails.
This NEON GREEN bottle of cutex that, I might add, has never been used before, wasn't really NEON GREEN...
Is there such a thing as NEON MOLD? Because that's the colour. Because it's kinda green, but also kinda yellow but really really shocking in both. I feel like I'm going out to a disco everytime I step out the door.
