Weekend!
Finally two days off in a row. XDD I came from work about an hour ago and my shift on Monday starts at 3pm. Awesome! I can use this weekend to do .. stuff. xD Have to finish xmas presents and also relax a bit. YAY SLEEP! The last week was awful... with that damn cold and all. D: I even started it with throwing up in the early morning LOL ...ok Monday wasn't quite 'LOL' at all... but anyway. When you think about it afterwards it's kinda amusing. XD I really should've gone to the doctor to get some days off but I was too stingy to spent money on the doc and I thought it would've been more hassle to catch up on the things we did at school than actually going there like a zombie. ^^;
Last night I finished the Densha Otoko dorama which I started watching about two weeks ago. (I'm currently watching one dorama after another haha ^^;; there are so many good ones I've yet to watch. orz) The dorama was great and it had a really nice ending~ so full of emotions. T^Td There is also a special episode with an extended or alternate ending which I'm gonna watch later. X3
To my surprise Shun had a role in it as well! (I really didn't know beforehand xD;) And DAMN HE WAS SO HOT there!! *faints* Every time he appeared I was like "awww~ *squee+drool* ♥♥♥" *lol* I just couldn't help it. ;_; I was happy that he got a sweet happy end as well. x3
By the end I even started liking Saori -or Hermes. lol She annoyed me so much at the beginning. Well she was really pretty, but had nothing else interesting on her. *eg* I didn't like her behaviour and character very much ^^; And I'm wondering if there are really woman like that in Japan. XD I know, Densha Otoko is based on a true story but you never know what they made out of the girl character. ^^' Sorry, I'm too lazy to explain the story in detail now, for those who want to know just google or wiki it. >P
I find it interesting that the real forum entries from are still out there. There even is an English translation! Not sure if the translation is complete but I gotta look for that later and read through it a bit. I'm really curious to take a look at the real thing~
Something that bothered, or rather confused, me at the very end tho was the amount of forum entries. (everything in the story revolves around that certain thread in a forum in which the Densha Otoko posted)
The dorama covered a timespan of 3 months real time and they had posted about 700 replies to the thread until the last episode. Then during the last few hours (real time) they managed to fill 300 posts and closed the thread with its 1000th entry, which was the maximum number allowed. I can't imagine they only posted 700 entries in 3 months and then 300 in just a few hours. Especially since some of the involved people also chatted a few times while densha wasn't posting. @_@; Something's strange here, but whatever. *lol*
Have I posted a pic of my new mobile phone yet? I saw that I talked about it a few times before but then I stopped mentioning it. ^^; I bought a Nokia 6650 fold in the end. It's a clamshell. XD It's not perfect (no phone available around here is..) but still pretty good for me and I really like it. x3 Plus, the battery lasts longer than only 4 to 5 days in stand-by. =D
sooo today is the 20th, correct? That means yesterday was the normal edition DVD release for the Hana yori Dango movie!! Hopefully someone has already ripped it and added some soft subs. ME WANTS! *__* I absorbed the two dorama seasons too fast so the waiting time for the movie felt so long. ;_;
Dorama recommendations for today: Hana yori Dango and Densha Otoko. Everyone, I command you to watch them! XD Especially if you want some hot and cute Shun scenes. XDDDDDD
random note: I'd like a new lj layout. I thought of something yellow-black-retro-ish of Persona 4. But I don't have good pics at hand currently ...and not quite any good ideas yet... not even to think of the time it takes to make a new layout right now. I could just change my current layout but something totally different looking would be more awesome. lol ...preferably with a style which supports the 24h time format. ^^' Gotta think of something next week after Christmas. lol
Nice! The Persona 4 guide just came with the post. :D Does anyone know which ones are the spoiler pages? Someone from the gamefaqs forum complained that he spoiled himself with something just with looking a bit through the guide. :/ Not sure how throroughly he read it though.. :/ I carefully flipped through the pages already but I'm a bit scared to take a closer look now. ^^; (same with the artbook which I haven't opened at all when it arrived ^^; )
