Our team hit our goals! That means I got an iPod touch, courtesy of the company! Whee! And, to top that off, they got us the 16GB version instead of the 8GB version. Is that cool or what?
On the un-cool side of things, what is with that stupid upgrade for iPod touch? You have to pay $20 to get the software upgrade that offers you 5 programs that the iPhone already has, programs which you can easily browse to using the WiFi capabilities of the product? Forget it! That's ridiculous.
What else? Oh yeah! I've listened to Utada Hikaru's brand-new single, which isn't supposed to be released until February 20th, "Stay Gold"! I really really really like this song -- it's soothing and I just love the chorus.
romanji lyrics:
daisuki dakara zutto
nannimo shinpai iranaiwa
my darling, stay gold
mujakini waratte kudasaina
itsumademo...
anata no hitomi no oku ni hisomu shounenn
watashi no honnou kusugutte yamanai
aah douka sonomama
good luck.
kanashii koto ha kitto
konosakinimo ippai aruwa
my darling, stay gold
kizutsuku koto mo daijidakara
daisuki dakara zutto
nannimo shinpai iranaiwa
my darling, stay gold
mujakini waratte kudasaina
itsumademo...
shuushoku mo kimatte
asondebakari irarenaine
otona no joushiki ya chie mi ni tsukeru no mo ii
aah kyou ha konomama
good night
kawariyuku no ga
hito no kokoro no tsune dato iimasuga
ne daarin your soul
yasashiku kagayaki tsuzukeruwa
daisuki dakara zutto
nannimo shinpai iranaiwa
my darling, stay gold
mujakini waratte kudasaina
itsumademo...
daisuki dakara zutto
nannimo shinpai iranaiwa
my darling, stay gold
mujakini waratte iraretara
otsunohimo...
English lyrics:
(because I love you)
(you don't have to worry about anything)
(my darling, stay gold)
(please smile innocently)
(forever...)
(the young boy hidden deep within your eyes)
(continues to entice my instincts)
(aah somehow, let it continue)
(good luck)
(there will most likely continue to be)
(sad things ahead of us)
(my darling, stay gold)
(because even getting hurt is important)
(because I love you)
(you don't have to worry about anything)
(my darling, stay gold)
(please smile innocently)
(forever...)
(figured out a job)
(we can't continue playing around forever)
(sometimes it's good to learn adult intelligence and common sense)
(ahh tonight, let's just say)
(good night)
(they say change is)
(a fundamental part of the human heart)
(but darling, your soul)
(Will continue to shine kindly)
(because I love you)
(you don't have to worry about anything)
(my darling, stay gold)
(please smile innocently)
(forever...)
(because I love you)
(you don't have to worry about anything)
(my darling, stay gold)
(if I can keep smiling innocently)
(each and every day...)
And no work Monday! Whee!
