When I update my journal, I do it properly.
People like me shouldn't have Livejournal accounts. I might be more active now but in other people journals, not in mine. :D
I'm having a test week right now, which means I'm sitting in a test for two hours in the mornings and then I laze around read in next exams the rest of the day. When I don't have a test, I have a day off. I've been at home yesterday and today. So basically, my test week has looked like this: a Swedish test on Friday, the first weekend, an English test on Monday, two days off, maths and chemistry tests on Thursday and Friday, the second weekend and finally a religion test on Monday. High-school life in Finland is tough, I tell you.
Though I had a day off today I still needed to get up early. I had to go see a dentist at 8.00 am. I haven't been to the dentist for almost two years now. It's their fault, they always cancel my appointment. (And I'm never that voluntary to ask for a new appointment time when they cancel the first one...) I had three cavities and they drilled one of them but made me take a new appointment for the rest. One of the remaining cavities is in one of my wisdom teeth. The dentist scared me that he will take the tooth away if the cavity is in a difficult place. D:
Before I went to wait for a bus after the dentist, I went to a grocery store. I wandered to the magazine racks. You'll never guess what waited me there.
Of course I bought it. I didn't even leaf it through, I just grabbed it with me as soon as I saw the cover and the words Yatterman and dorama. 8D It had a three-page spread of Asian dramas. I was so happy that they didn't get stuck in Japanese dramas but they also wrote a little about Korean and Chinese dramas.
It had also a two-page spread of the Helsinki International Film Festival in which they introduced Asian films that were shown in the festival. They hyped the Red Cliff movies up like there's no tomorrow. The two original films, not the trimmed version that is sold in here, were shown for the first time in Western countries. Isn't it wonderful that I found this out after the festival? I love epic five hours long historical movies and I missed this one. Great.
I've watched dramas lately. Surprised? 8D I'm a bit stuck with Time Between Dog and Wolf. My need for action dramas disappeared after watching Lee Jun Ki getting beaten up even more violently than in Iljimae. My answer to this is romantic dramas. I watched all twelve currently subbed You're Beautiful episodes. We even gave every character proper nicknames with sinivaan. Go Mi Nam is Nami, a lame Finnish word pun because nami means yummy in English. Jeremy is the Blond. Shin Woo is Rui. (I haz a Hanadan reference!) Last but definitely not least, Tae Kyung is the Eyeliner Dude. (Of course you can't see his eyeliner from this cap. He has some, believe me!) I had to look the characters' real names from Dramawiki, I wouldn't have remembered them otherwise.
I started a new drama also. It's written by the same women as You're Beautiful and Lee Jun Ki has a role in it so it's a perfect combination! The drama is called My Girl and it's great. I love the female lead, she's got some character! She has made lying a real art form. In one scene she's in a room with five people. One thinks she's his granddaughter, one heard she's a hotel worker, one assumed she's a family nurse, and the remaining two know her real name but the other doesn't really know her and the other has hired her to act as a granddaughter for his grandfather but in that situation, he didn't really know either why everyone seems to recognize the girl but have different information of her. SHE'S AWESOME.
I have discovered the most awesome and amazing and beautiful program ever made. (And that's why I used 'something totally awesome' tag.) I'm not even exaggerating as much as you might think. :D I was searching for some new sheet music, especially the piano sheet for F.T. Island's song Lovesick. (The Blond from You're Beautiful sings in that band.) All I found was poor low quality jpgs from which you could see the notes if you squinted but they would've looked crappy if I had printed them. Don't you agree? Well, then I found a program called Lilypond. I absolutely love it! You code the notes with a text editor, then you compile the text file with Lilypond and ta-dah! You have some beautiful sheet music in pdf form. Yesterday I spent like six hours straight coding five Lovesick pages. And it was totally worth it. See? ♥
A long story from nothing. :D As I haven't linked YouTube videos for a while, I will do it now. The video is F.T. Island's Lovesick, surprise surprise. It's a good thing I'm addicted to it now since I will probably hate it after I practice it with my piano. It's funny how the guys were like 17 years old when they recorded this and despite of it they sound much older and more experienced. (Well, Lee Hong Gi at least since he sings the vocals.) It's a great song, a bit different from happy pop songs I usually listen to.
If you liked the song, here is the sheet music I made. I'm not sure if I can share it anywhere since I've copied it from another source... Well, it doesn't matter in my own journal. :D
