music:::Belle and Sebastian – Seymour Stein

I hate it when I know that a few hundred kilometres away, something really good is happening and I can’t be there >_< I spent all of today listening to my Belle and Sebastian records in order to forget that today Idlewild are going to play their only headlining gig in Germany. Why of all places did they have to chose Cologne? Oh sure, the journalists won't have to travel that much because they're all in Cologne, right.
Berlin would’ve been very nice, Hamburg too. Even Frankfurt would’ve been okay. Hell, Cologne would have been absolutely brilliant if the gig had been two weeks later cause I would’ve been at uni by then (uni = only two (?) hours away from Cologne).

I could see them support Coldplay. But uhm, no Coldplay for me please. Too much drama. Besides, they’re playing quite large venues which equals high ticket prices and no chance to see the band because I’m a small small girl compared to the average German man. It’s not really worth it if you’re only there to see the support band.

I really hope there’ll be a few more Idlewild gigs in Germany (maybe early next year?) cause I want to see them really badly.

There was more that I wanted to write about but I’m being distracted by singing along to B&S’s The Boy with the Arab Strap…

music:::Idlewild – (I am) What I Am Not

If you were reading my LJ and wondered if I was okay, let me tell you I’m perfectly fine. ^^; I just needed to vent, you know? I wasn’t nearly as pissed off as the tone of my post would suggest, in fact I feel a little amused by the whole thing.

Well, back to the usual stuff. Apartments. I think I should lower my expectations a little. I’ve been searching for an apartment with satellite TV because, well, German cable TV sucks. I really need to be able to get all my beloved international channels, especially the British ones. There’s no programme on German TV that covers the English Premier League. How could I ever keep track of Inamoto if I didn’t have satellite TV? …I should get used to the fact that I’ll have to live without sat TV, though. No Premier League. No funky pop idol shows. Oh wait, we have them on German TV too -_-

Can’t wait to welcome `kane to blogland… ^___^

music:::The Liars – Mr your on fire Mr

I got all my university stuff today. My student ID looks really really spiffy.

While I was on my way home from a friend’s, it suddenly started to rain. Heavily. I didn’t bring my umbrella with me so I had to walk through the rain with the water dripping from my eye brows and my hair. It was cold at first but while I was trying to avoid all the piled up leaves on the sidewalk it suddenly hit me that this is autumn too, and even if the air was cold and the sky grey it felt good. I couldn’t live in a country where I’m not able to experience the change of seasons.

I managed to get a very clear version of Kagerou’s Yuugure no Shazai PV. All I had of it was a blurry real media file and I couldn’t even make out details. I’m not sure how many of you already have that clear version but I think I’m going to upload that file. It’s not that large (about 30 MB) and no one can say no to Daisuke, right?

I also ordered my monthly magazines. I’m a little nervous about getting Shoxx because of the baroque pics. All the girls on the official baro~ BBS are going crazy cause Kei obviously dyed his hair – he’s blond now o_O I can’t even imagine what a blond Kei looks like. Argh.

music:::Idlewild – Tell me ten words

My feet are cold, my fingers too. It’s the first time in some 70 years that it’s been snowing in Munich in September.

I’m glad I don’t live in Munich.

Okada-san emailed and said my order will be shipped September 27. Is it just me or is their service not like it used to be? Oh I know it’s not their fault but the too many overseas people ordering there causing too much work; too many orders to process, too many parcels to take out to the post office.

music:::DAS:VASSER – Shiroi kimi, kuroi tsuki

I still haven’t found a suitable apartment >_< I had applied for an apartment in one of the university's dorm back in June when I hadn't even known whether I'd been accepted into the media courses. About one week ago, the dorm tells me that I'll get an apartment no sooner than March next year. Great. I'm basically on the other side of the country, do they know how freakin hard it is to look for an apartment in a city that's 600 kilometres away? The whole situation's just so pathetic.

I want my Third Stage order *whines some more*

music:::Aliza Marie – Wakamono X

It was a long long night, elections-wise. It was a bit scary early in the evening when the first results came in, but it all turned out okay in the end. I’m glad.

I registered my new domain. Just some little personal side project, like I’ve said before. Info will follow once I get my domain confirmation. Saturnine is definitely going to move there because I want to make ytNET a pure visual kei site with no personal stuff inbetween. Well no, the truth is it’s actually the other way round: I want a real personal domain with no silly visual kei sites on it. I guess that now that I’m leaving my real life home, I want a more personal place on the web that I can ‘return to’.

Does anyone else get Gackt flashbacks from this? I mean, the music sounds so much like where Due’le left off, exactly like Gackt whose first solo stuff was clearly influenced by Malice Mizer’s music. Will Miyabi become the new Gackt? No no, that’s just too scary, right? ^^; But oh well, do we really need a Miyabi solo project? I definitely don’t.

Betsuma 10 came in today. Fluffy shoujo greatness ♥ Great excuse for online absence, too.

music:::ExileInside – Katrin

Ha, coming up with a nice ‘n cozy name for a new domain is not easy. Especially if you’re in a state of utter confusion. It still doesn’t feel like I know where the hell I belong. But I do feel a lot more comfortable now. Thank you and you for caring. It really means a lot.
I will give myself a little more time with it. I’m sure that once the semester starts and I’m surrounded by hundreds of new people, I’ll see a lot more clearlier – where I belong and who/what I want to spend my time with. Somewhere in the mist, there’s the one I really am. Even if I’m more than just a little confused at the moment, I’ll be able to decide where to go once the waves calm.

(I’m not able to give up visual kei, though. No matter how expensive this taste in music might be, no matter how cold the overseas fandom seems to be at times, it cannot change my love for the music.)

I haven’t seen the sun in four days. So much for warm golden autumn. September’s definitely one of my favourite months but this here feels like November. Blah. At least I get to wear my new autumn clothes ^^; This past week was a bit hectic with all those appointments and stuff so I was looking forward to a nice and quiet Sunday. Well yes, but then I realized that tomorrow’s the day of the national elections… Those are the first elections I’m allowed to take part in and I’m glad I can finally vote. I’m not really one of those indifferent young folks who complain about everything but don’t realize what they can do to change the situation. The idea of walking through thunder and heavy rain just to cast my vote is not very appealing, though… Oh well, the things we do to for democracy once every four years…
