randomness
Chacha has the most gorgeous smile...
I am completely uninterested in a live CD set of Gackt's concerts, though; I'm not generally interested in listening to live recordings unless they have something more or different than the originals. I've ripped the audio from a few DVDs, they had somewhat different arrangements, extremely high-energy performances, and/or lots of crowd involvement, and one I didn't have the relevant CD (¥1000 from yahoo.jp for the DVD vs ¥3000 for the CD? no contest) and ended up liking some of the live arrangements better. Gackt's concerts are too close to the source for me to be interested; I want the associated DVD, though. I hope there will be an actual new album at some point; it's been three years since Diabolos. I do wonder what Chacha's been doing all this time; I'm kind of surprised there's been no news of him at all. I wonder if You's photoshoot from earlier this month was for darts x tsutaya 11 (at least I assume that's what the hosho blog was referring to with a post about tsutaya 11, tagged darts, to start friday.) 11's probably the right number; 9 was Ju-ken, and I think there's only been one since then (Gackt?).
It's really disconcerting to check a site and see:
kanjikanjikanji DEATH kanjikanjikanji
scrolling down, it was only hot sauce, but it scared me for a minute.
ebay is weird; I don't think there's been any zigzo since i bought chi to ase... last year. I was randomly putting band names in and found losalios and ends and a few other really random things. They're all from Taiwanese sellers, though, which makes me kind of nervous, and they are slightly more than I'm willing to take a chance on buying and are maybe $10 less than buying new (and buying from ebay won't help the artists, anyway). I think I'm going to go back to contemplating Losalios's live DVD or his more recent projects instead. I don't believe someone paid $30 for Minoru Niihara's One. It's out of print, but not really rare; there's at least one copy a month on ebay (I paid $15.55 total for mine; I don't know why I still have the saved search, but it's interesting to see what other people pay for it). I really don't believe the person who paid $66 for Ded Chaplin's first; it's harder to find, but not that hard, and isn't really worth it (and I'm tempted to put that back as a saved search out of curiosity; I only saw that one because it was also listed under Niihara).
It's too bad the 80s Flash Gordon apparently spent their budget on sets and costumes and music and supporting actors didn't have any left for writers and lead actors (and wtf Timothy Dalton? Richard O'Brien???). I now have the theme stuck in my head, sometimes randomly mixed with The Big O theme (Flash was its inspiration).
stupid cat; I need sleep, managed to actually fall asleep, and as soon as I did, he came upstairs, yowled outside my bedroom door for a minute, and went back downstairs and back to sleep. Now he's apparently starving to death (cat downstairs, food upstairs) and is trying to dig up the carpet and kill my phone charger. And I fed him and he STILL thinks he's starving and I don't want to go up there and show him that he has food.
I ought to tag or title my posts; it would be easier if it was something other than disconnected ramblings, though.
