Translation request and my failure as a reader of literature

Sep 07, 2006 10:28

I know, I am being totally lazy...because I have a translation request for my flist. I've been obsessively listening to Tsukiyo no monogatari (Kinki Kids) and as I first fell in love with the tiny bit that is part of the "Japanesque Medley" KAT-TUN performance, I'm now dying to know what the song is actually about (a complete translation is not ( Read more... )

Shinkai says "You must eat and look after yourself!"

I was obsessed with Dorian Grey in my teens, in a real way of having dreams about it!

Every day that goes by, I feel more strongly that there will never be enough years in my life to read all the books I want to read. :o

He-he! But you can try!

Wow, you had dreams about Dorian Gray? *is impressed* :)

See, check it out - I'm remembering to have dinner tonight! And believe me, I am certainly going to try to get through my reading list! It's a compulsion.

"Every day that goes by, I feel more strongly that there will never be enough years in my life to read all the books I want to read"

Yes, I feel exactly the same. It's so unfortunate, if only we could all read books the way Mr Johnny 5 from Short Circuit can!

This also now reminds me - as I was reading some of koalathebear's older posts the other day I came across that one where she had taken pictures of all the books in her apartment. I found the sheer volume quite staggering, I don't think I'll have ever read remotely close to that many come the end of my life!

That post of koalathebear's with the photos of her books was pretty awesome, wasn't it? I wanted to do a similar photo essay but I am so horribly disorganized that I have books everywhere - on bookshelves, but also piles randomly all over this apartment. I'd never be able to capture them ;)

I want to swallow entire books! They contain universes! :)

Ahhhh~

I just want to know what the song is about). What I wouldn't give to see KAT-TUN perform the song properly.

I agree with you completely!!! 100%.
