singing : Laraku - Lost Heaven

JOSS WHEDON INTERNET MOVIE MUSICAL.
Neil Patrick Harris. SINGING! (and impressively so!)
With an arch nemesis called CAPTAIN HAMMER.

If you haven't seen ACT I, you really REALLY need to.

Because ACT II is SO MUCH awesome! The dialogue (and SINGING!) reminds me why I first liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

*cough*

And now I think I have a crush on the former Doogie Howser.

feelin' : geekish

I'm watching the anime series now (mp4 = I watch on my ipod at lunch) and I have to say -- I'm kind of falling in love all over again. I lost track of the manga series though because of the whole moving around of the translations and refusing to learn IRC now.

... also, that was one of the things I lost completely when my old computer died. ;___;

So could someone kindly point me to the direction of scanlations? Pretty please?

And for the record, I am still of the judgement that Kaname is FTW.

feelin' : missing someone terribly

'CAUSE I SURE DIDN'T.

Ai Le Jiu Suam - OMG, when he croons? (OMG Jackie Chan CROONING!!) Absolute goosebumps.

Beauty and the Beast - THAT'S RIGHT. DISNEY AND JACKIE CHAN AS THE BEAST.

I'll Make a Man Out of You - AND MULAN! *dies laughing*

But what got me spending an hour (more) looking up Jackie Chan music videos? I watched The Myth tonight. This was the theme song: Endless Love

*sighs dreamily*

Shut up. Jackie Chan *IS* cute.

...

Someone please tell me he released an album. Or that you have Endless Love or Ai Le Jiu Suam. Pretty please?

*plays Ai Le Jiu Suam again*

*shivers out of pure fangirl geeky joy*

feelin' : totally crushing <3

Naruto 403: I *am* better than making dirty jokes about putting things down Naruto's mouth. Itachi, I ♥ you!

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcQ-htOZkq0
OMFG IT IS SO DISTURBINGLY ADORABLE I NEED TO ABUSE CAPSLOCK.
I wants it. And I wants to call it Kenken. :p

feelin' : exhausted

God I love Fridays.

feelin' : ecstatic

If you've been following the manga, you know what this post is all about. If not-- ANGSTY SPOILERS AHOY!


Excerpt from The Book of Uchihas, Chapter 395-400
( And from the heavens fell the brightest of all... )

( but the end of one story is just the beginning of another. )

*evil cackle*

feelin' : nerdy
singing : Explosions in the Sky - Day Eight

SONG MEME! For old time's sake.
Load media player, turn on shuffle, and ask the following questions. Personally, I find that its more fun and works better if you ask it out loud. Its a fortune teller, not a mind reader. XD

1. How does the world see me?: Dahlia - V6
Fun, laid back, almost old school island sound -- yep, fits me right.

2. Will I have a happy life?: Time's on my side - Masayuki Sakamoto

3. What do my friends really think of me?: Angels & Saints - Neverending White Light
*Dies dies DIES* Ohhh, that will not reflect well on a certain someone when the range of my Finnish vocabulary is discovered.

4. Do people secretly lust after me?: Glory - 20th Century (guess that's a yes?)

5. How can I make myself happy?: Home (piano version) - Angela Aki

6. What should I do with my life?: The Golden Path - Brian Tyler/Children of Dune OST
*is still killing self laughing*

7. Will I ever have children?: Oyasumi - Yoshihiko Inohara
So -- should I take this as an ambiguously less offending translation of "ONLY in your dreams?"

8. What is some good advice for me?: 20th Century - Precious Love

9. How will I be remembered?: Koala's Lament - Lovage
Had to do this one twice because I got a 20th Century song with Japanese characters. In perspective, I suppose that would mean the TRUE media player answer is that I will be remembered as being cheery and poppy but a bit on the strange side that makes it difficult for people to understand me?

10. What is my signature dancing song?: Kiss me goodbye - Angela Aki
Awwwww, I'm not a heartbreaker! ;___;

11. What do I think my current theme song is?: Schizoid Paranoia - SP
LOL *eyes shiftily* No one's going MAD here. Yet.

12. What does everyone else think my current theme song is?: God Willing - Dropkick Murphys
*raises brow* God willing to... do what, exactly?

13. What song will play at my funeral?: Where We Are - Neverending White Lights
Its good to know I'll still have a sense of humor in the end.

14. What do I look for in a man/woman?: On Fire - Switchfoot
*grins devilishly* Well, I suppose I'm still at an appopriate age to be shallow. So it works.

15. What is my day going to be like?: Down - Something Corporate
B-but I was on such a roll! :(

16. Will I ever have love again?: Someone to Trust - Brian McCreary/BSG III OST
This was kind of cryptic for a final song, so I tried it again:
It Won't Let Us Leave - Evil Dead the Musical
LOL, I think someone will be happy with this answer more.

feelin' : cheerful
singing : KAT-TUN - Don't U Ever Stop

I FORGIVE YOU KISHIMOTO 'CAUSE THE UCHIHA ANGST IS SO SO DAMN HOT.

SPOILER PICS
(  ... slowly... carefully... remember your loving older brother. )


Also, have you seen the newest Shippuden opening video Blue Bird? It's so PRETTY and full of SASUNARU ♥.

*sniffles and bats big puppy dog eyes* I want the song. Pretty pleease? With Sasuke on top?

feelin' : *still has goosebumps*
singing : Naruto Shippuden - Blue Bird

Today I watched a Quentin Tarantino movie. It was a WESTERN.

With JAPANESE ACTORS.

A Quentin Tarantino Western with Japanese actors SPEAKING ENGLISH.

Like CLINT EASTWOOD!

And NO SUBS because they're TRYING TO KILLSPEAK ENGLISH.


Its as if the only casting requirement was that none of the actors should actually know how to speak English and thus know what the script was all about.

And as if it couldn't get more WTF for a Quentin Tarantino movie -- he's in it speaking FOB JAPLISH.

WITH OGURI SHUN AS HIS ILLEGITIMATE SON.

Speaking ENGLISH.
(Are you catching the trend here?)



EDIT: This longer trailer has Shun in it.

It blows my mind that I'd never heard about this movie before.

feelin' : like -- wth?!
