the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

[calledinvain]

I saw Death Cab for Cutie/Rogue Wave last night with my friend Shar, and didn't get to bed until 1 a.m. I am now appropriately zombified - which just reminds me how old I've gotten - back in the day, I used to be able to stay up until 3 a.m., fall asleep for two hours, then get up again and attend a college lecture without any ill effects

Shota Matsuda is up to, besides not being the other half of Erika Toda's OTP in the lukewarm Code Blue

But he SHOULD be the other half of her OTP! I'm tempted to watch Code Blue just because I like her, but I keep waffling over it. If he were in it, I would watch. And then throw things if they didn't get to be OTP.

However, he looks good with Maki in those pictures, so I approve of the prettiness in general.

I think there's no romance subplot as of yet

[calledinvain]

but that could just be my wishful thinking. Yamapi + romance = BIG HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT all around, and I like my summer tv to make me happy, you know? Like HANA KIMI Happy. Damn, where the hell is the release date, Fuji TV! STOP KEEPING ME IN SUSPENSE.

I'm not watching it, but I think D is, if only to mock it because it's her life's work.

Hana Kimi!

I've been rewatching it as a ploy to keep me distracted from Doctor Who, and seriously, where is the SP? Was it supposed to be out this summer or did I imagine that? I want more with Sano and Mizuki and Nakatsu and to see JULIA. But Code Blue looks like it might be fun to giggle at, and I figure as long as I can stop myself from trying to mentally insist that Yamapi is Kurosagi and Erika is Nao, I might enjoy it. (I'm still not used to the ... casting in Jdramas. I tend to think of actors as playing certain characters, and when they change so often I just feel slightly bewildered.)

Mocking it definitely sounds like a valid reason to watch it! (THE valid reason to watch it? Possibly!) Out of all the upcoming jdramas it's the only one that's caught my attention for whatever reason, so it's tempting me.

The SP is supposed to be out this summer, but who knows if it's July or September (the start of summer drama season). I'm totally all over the Suzuka Ohgo/Teppei drama on Fuji.

OH. So my coworker is going to Comic-con this year, and she accosted me at work yesterday morning to inform me that, ZOMG, the cast of Twilight and Stephanie Meyer are going to be appearing at this year's convention.

I thought of you.

And giggled.

(my coworker by the way, is an amazonian 33 year old redhead and loves Edward for some weird reason.)

isn't it amazing how much I know about these books without ever reading them? I blame you.

[cynicalism]

Have already seen commercials for it and am DYING I WANT IT SO BAD.

Get some sleep, you! ♥

yes, mom.

[calledinvain]

^___^ I'll feel better after I have dinner, too.

Isn't it great? SO MANY THINGS COMING OUT IN JULY THAT I WANT.

Re: yes, mom.

[cynicalism]

...Oh right, it's only 8 there. Wellll--eat something good and then straight to bed for you, missy!

*__________* The world can never have enough Masi Oka.

[calixa]

Yay! They look quite cute together!

I don't know why I'm excited for Code Blue all of a sudden - it just randomly hit me out of the blue. But I love medical dramas - if there's little to no romance in Code Blue (wishful thinking, likely), it might be good! In that delightful way only overdramatic epic medical dramas can be. BUT I REALLY HOPE THERE ISN'T A ARAGAKI YUI/YAMAPI/ERIKA LOVE TRIANGLE.

ME TOO!

[calledinvain]

even though I am going to be watching it vicariously through kitsune714. But it looks that Erika considers Yui and Yamapi as professional rivals only, Yui is a shy retiring flaky type, and Yamapi will get his comeuppance as a slightly arrogant hot shot doctor.

Re: ME TOO!

[calixa]

That sounds promising. Is it wrong I kind of want Erika's character to be uptight and competitive and bitchy and for her to hook up with the nerdy goofy looking boy with glasses? I'll also accept unrequited love.

eta: Is Shun wearing a sparkly sleeveless jersey in those Hanadan premiere pics? Mao looks adorable in the white gown.

Re: ME TOO!

[calledinvain]

he *is*. I'm kind of digging his hair, though.
But doesn't he look like he's about to fake dance off with Matsujun?

Erika's character is supposed to be from a rich family, I think, so entitled bitchiness may be in the cards.

Not a big loss

[catslove17]

...missing the release date of Wall-E. I thought the trailer seemed a little on crack ...... to put it nicely.

Yes, atsuhime is here. After all those rumours of an April appearance, it is finally here. In June, approaching July. Thank you Japan.

And just when we think Japan might love us, it hits us (in the for of manga) with what could have been. Why must you taunght us so Japan?

Feburary the 14th? How fitting.

awww, but I love Pixar. So a Pixar movie is always an Event in my world.
