It's getting harder and harder to update regularly but I thought I'd make an effort at long last. As of Wednesday this week the real Japanese language study has kicked in and it's a battle to stay afloat. I think it's the numbers that are causing me the most grief but I can already see the improvement so I shan't despair.

Today I went with a bunch ( Read more... )

It's official, guys. I have well and truly gone over to the Dark Side. There were signs many posts ago when I declared that Haru Uraru by Kagrra was 'the happiest song ever" and what's more, I liked it. Now my contamination is complete having discovered this PV -



Don't get me wrong. I realise it's a complete and utter pile of horse apples but...but ( Read more... )

Yay! Superman Returns came out on DVD today! Along with that I bought new jeans, two new tops, a diary and, err, socks. Note not a single Christmas present was bought. Today was purely about ME. Mwahahahahaha. I'm probably going to buy Pirates of the Caribbean 2 as well.

Last night I played a couple of songs from the GazettE for my brother's fiance ( Read more... )

Jesus Christ! I can't get over how awesome Gazette are. (Sorry, it's The GazettE now, isn't is?) They are seriously fucking fantastic. A lot of JRock bands feature okay musicians riding on the talent of a good vocalist. GazettE has a GREAT vocalist and all the other members are great too.

I managed to download their latest tour DVD, Nameless ( Read more... )

I wish to inform everyone that although it may sound like I do nothing but surf the net for JRock, rest assured that I work very hard. Happily, though, that work involves a computer and whenever I take a break, I'm straight on either LJ, Batsu, YouTube or eBay.

Speaking of eBay, lookit -

Here I am, half an hour into my work day, and already bored rigid. The fact that the sky is so gloomy and I'm forced to listen to Classic FM are partly responsible. I also had the most terrible night sleep which involved waking up - or dreaming I woke up - to the sound of a rat within the walls. It was probably just someone plugging something in...

Well, here we are; the first day of the last month I will be living in the UK for the next 2 - 3 years. I have 28 days until my final MA deadline. I have 7,000 words left to write. And I found another £10 note yesterday after finding £20 not so long ago. I can't help feeling like the sun is shining on me...in a good way...a way that doesn't involve ( Read more... )

Damn you, God!

Bring back X Japan!

Bring back Queen!

Leave Elvis where he is!

PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAASE!!!!

Look. I know I've been raving about Miyavi recently, and Gackt before that, but I have just discovered SID ( Read more... )

Meh. Why is there so little Miyavi stuff on the web? Damn you FEED MY OBSESSION!! You started it after all.

Also, some of you (i.e. none of you) may remember that I managed to convert my Ipod a few weeks ago so that I could update it using my PC rather than my Mac. Well, as of yesterday it had officially played its last tune, skipped its last ( Read more... )
