let me tell you
➸ i felt like posting, since i now have free time to the max (lol)
➸ following vigilas's lead, i want to talk about the current things of interest in my life right now. starting with the
dramas
❥ NAZOTOKI DINNER WA ATO DE | well to be honest, i kind of put some high expectations on this drama. after all, following the detective conan live action that happened last season, i would've thought that this would be as exciting. and well, it didn't deliver. i had some irks to settle with kitagawa keiko (with whom i developed an unexplainable degree of dislike) but more importantly irks with her character. i don't get how when she's wearing a suit she is rational, and she can make fair deductions. but for some reason, when she's wearing her frilly pink dresses she becomes completely useless. putting that aside--because well, her character may develop on me or something, we can never tell--the story was completely boring. there was something in the storytelling that didn't get me attached to the story. no excitement (probably because the leads were discussing it over tea), and i value plot in mystery dramas. i have high regard for mystery dramas, after watching all three seasons of kindaichi, and the detective conan live actions (not to mention the kindaichi manga and the detective conan anime and OVAs). and this was well, the plot was weak, but more importantly, the delivery was weak. because sometimes weak plot can be improved by the delivery.
all in all, i think this is just one of those cutesy dramas trying to pass off serious stories (because crime is serious imo) in an attempt to try to look serious. downloading the next episode is still debatable.
(also idek i have this weird thing about sho's hair. am i the only one who doesn't like it? granted, he definitely grows on you but ughhh the hair man)
❥ KINDAICHI SHOUNEN NO JIKENBO | this is currently my life. i am all over this drama. i think it started with the detective conan live action that i suddenly had a craving for the third season (because tiny little jun aw ♥) and after watching that, i was still not content, so i proceeded to download the first two seasons + SPs. i like how this drama perfectly balances the amount of drama and humor in one episode. you'll feel the weight of the plot, but there are ice breakers to keep everything entertaining. well, it has loopholes of its own (what drama hasn't?) but i can easily look over that because everything else is good. i am really liking tsuyoshi a lot, and it has much to do with this drama. and tomosaka rie is the best miyuki imo (sorry suzuki anne and ueno juri, it's the truth).
another thing i love about the drama is that it is so obviously well made. the wax figures, the locations--considering this was done in 1995, that's quite a lot. lastly, this drama is just slightly fucked up (creepy murderers in equally creepy masks is a must for almost every case) and it will creep the shit out of you (more than once) but it is so worth it.
manga
❥ AOHARAIDO | if this is the first time you're seeing this name, if you haven't heard/read/googled for this gem before then stop what you're doing. stop it and read this beautiful piece of art right here. idek there is something about sakisaka io and her storytelling that can make the most cliche of stories beautiful. the main plot is quite fresh though (which you can read here) but people have been complaining about the cliche situations lately. but whatever, i do not care. the story is amazing. the main leads are cute and they bicker and they keep on rubbing it to each other's face that they do not like each other anymore. and more recently, this kind of thing happened

AND I AM ABOUT TO RAMBLE MORE JUST READ IT ALREADY
people i stalk and random others
❥ TABE MIKAKO | fun things are going to happen soon at tabemikako drop by and check! :) plus, tabe-chan is going to release a 2012 calendar *A*
❥ TOMOSAKA RIE | idek it was quite random and impulsive of me, but i googled her and she is looking good. she was so thin in the kindaichi series but well. i still think she's quite a good actress.
❥ SIDESTORY 1 | why is it that SNSD produces mediocre music (because yes, they do) but after a few listens, you get addicted to them? it's like they're making their music so it will stick to your head and fuck that kind of marketing. now the boys is stuck in my head :| although i know that this isn't limited to SNSD, but still. they aren't really a favorite of mine so :|
❥ SIDESTORY 2 | i am in love with NEWS' ENDLESS SUMMER it is a beautiful song ;A;
❥ ETC | why is it when i write shikamaru/ino fanfiction, my fics just explode out of proportion? i swear, the last two shikaino fics i wrote occupied at least ten pages each of my journal. i'm not sure why i'm all over shikaino right now. i can't seem to write anything else (well, except hong kong/korea--but that's because no one writes good hongkong/korea fic
wow i kind of missed writing long entries.
