I’m back.

Epic is not big enough a word for this trilogy. *lost for words*

I’m so buying the RotK soundtrack tomorrow – no, today… after some sleep. Ah heavenly sleep z_z

So… I’m leaving now. Had a rather crappy night due to being nervous, hyper and impatient all combined in one compact package. So what, I know the movie will keep me awake even till the ungodly hour of 3 am.
Wah!!!!!

I’d write something about Saddam being captured and how we don’t need Hollywood when we have the Bush administration around but I’m feeling neither sarcastic nor political today :)

My 6-year-old loyal and not so pretty discman died – while playing Ayu’s Rainbow album. This proves that even though she might be ‘cute as hell’ (says he, not I), her music is evil. Now he can have back all her albums and help me buy a new & pretty discman. ^-^V

Tuesday is really close. I might have to get some extra sleep tomorrow to prepare for the ultimate LotR marathon. I’m kind of glad they are not showing the Extended Editions of FotR and TTT because I’m not sure if I’d be able to sit through three monumental films without falling asleep or collapsing ^^; The theater here is so small. The sound quality is close to lousy and the seats are really uncomfortable because your legs have only very little space. And if your small (like me) and there’s some bodyguard type of person sitting in front of you, you’ll only see the back of his head and a tiny area of the screen throughout the whole movie >_< I’m so looking forward to RotK though, I’d even sit on the floor to watch it ^^;

To Whom It May Concern:
Who’s more of an idiot? Fangirls who interrupt discussions or news postings at public places like MLs or message boards and make a fool of themselves in front of people who were expecting something entirely different (i.e. intelligent posts) – or people posting their opinions to private places like blogs or livejournals where everyone is entitled to whine, bitch, angst and complain all they want?
(In fact, if those people who are constantly prone to fangirl posts just sticked to their blogs and LJs too, no one would ever complain!)

A blog is a personal outlet, not a public place. If you find any posts ‘twice as annoying’ as fangirl outings I seriously have to wonder why you’re even here. For the leeching? Your browser has a back button. Use that. And if you can’t find it, click on the X in the top right corner of your browser.

I’m glad that message boards and MLs with very little fangirl posts exist. So yes it is goddamn irritating when such posts are made while people are in the middle of a discussion.
In that particular instance: When you yourself started a thread with news about a band, the only thing that kept _you_ from _not_ raising an eyebrow (or both) at that irrelevant fangirl post was because the poster was your friend.

You do not have to be an elitist fan to detest such posts. If talking about something else than the members’ looks makes us elitist, then yes we are. If keeping ‘fangirl drooling posts’ to a minimum makes us elitist, then yes we are. If wanting to discuss a band’s music, lyrics etc. makes us elitist, then yes we are. If buying their CDs instead of hoarding MP3s like there’s no tomorrow makes us elitist, then yes we are.

We happen to have realized that fangirls exist for everything and everyone nowadays. We have learnt to live with it. Note that none of us has joined so-called anti-fangirl cliques or similar things because we realize that such things are just as ridiculous and unnecessary as those ‘acts of fangirlism’.
However, none of us is complaining ‘all the time’. If you think so, you might either be paranoid or have a serious problem with mathematics.

But for your own sake, learn to differ between people posting to a blog/LJ or shoving their idiocy into everyone’s faces at a public forum! I did not invite you here and no one’s forcing you to read my or anybody else’s personal writings! Plus I do not think you have the right to criticize a stranger’s blog’s contents.
I’m sorry you did not deem it necessary to communicate via personal mail. This is why you have to read my response to your post here.

Now, Read Me & remember to click the X if this is oh so annoying to you.

Happy Birthday :3

I swear that no trees were harmed before or during the making of this layout. The coding is probably a little buggy but I’m too tired to do some cross-browser/resolution testing. But it’s an Akiya layout again, yay!

My mother bought me a lovely gel for teething babies ^^; It’s sugar-free but contains lots of alcohol o_O
The Boy lent me some of his Ayumi Hamasaki CDs… What exactly was he thinking? Make me realize Ayu is great and her songs are repetitive but addictive? That not every JPop artist has to be crap? That I should worship her? Argh >_< He's already succeeded in point 1 and 2; point 3 is never going to happen though. Never! ...Never? Someone save me, please.
So much for painkillers.

Hm, the new Sakamoto Maaya album is not so good ;_; It’s a lot heavier than anything else before but it’s really lacking atmosphere. I think I’ll have to give this a few more listens.

I feel like a giant lump of pain. I’d been happily living 18 years of my life without any wisdom teeth at all when I got one quite painlessly a while back. But now there’s another one trying to get through and it’s bleeding and hurting and just gross. My right ear seems to have turned deaf from all the pain ;_; I don’t need anymore wisdom teeth, they won’t make me any wiser. I won’t see a doctor because even with just one and a quarter wisdom teeth I’m smart enough to realize that a dentist will only bring even more pain :(

I got the January issue of Fool’s Mate today. Merry look fabulous. I haven’t read whole the interview yet, just a few lines. I think someone said that R-246 is a Tick-Tack kind of song… so now I live in pain _and_ impatience ^^;

I thought the preorder hassle would be over once a band goes major… I wanted to place my order including Kagrra’s Urei, but Third Stage says that ‘the reservation for this item has ended’?! o_O It’s not limited in any way, why isn’t it available for preorder anymore? >_<
So now I’m postponing that order. This also gives me more additional time to decide what else to buy. I really want to get one of the denno:oblaat CDs TS has because the two songs Amy put up are so cool!

So they’re definitely resuming activities… I’m glad they were able to get their act together. It’s pretty much like I though: management problems. But I think there’s a little more to it than just that. A management doesn’t force a band to stop their recording sessions, then cancels all the shows and takes down the official site for nothing – not even with this management.
When baroque say they’ve grown up in those two months, it also means they’ve thought a lot about their lifestyles and changed those things that might not be that good when you’re in a major band.
I’m still slightly worried (I’ve always been). Not about the band in particular, just the way the management treats the band and the fans. Oh well, let’s hope baroque will not give up and the Zepp Tokyo show on March 22 will not be their last.

Kagrra are in the studio again. Sometimes they seem like little springs where all this creativity comes bubbling out. They are so hard-working. If they’re recording new songs now, that means there’ll probably be a new release in March. Or if the recording sessions take a little longer, they might even release an album soon. Oh the joy.
I promise I won’t complain. I’ll buy everything they put out just like I’ve done these past 3 and a half years ^^;
