1. I started watching Nodame Cantabile and it is so goddamned awesome! And I've only seen the pilot! The only thing that could follow up The Legend's epicness is probably Tamaki Hiroshi's awesomeness. I love how it's so animated and so far it's been following the manga pretty closely (I've only read about two or three volumes though). I love how the characters so look so similar to their manga counter-parts. It's hilarious and Tamaki Hiroshi is just too awesome! I love his facial expressions! It's wrong that I like Chiaki right? I mean, the Nodame/Chiaki relationship is totally abusive yet I still like it and ship it. I should be ashamed right?! And Chiaki is a totally unlikable character what with being a snob and a half and abusing poor Nodame all the time. So it's very wrong that I like Chiaki and Chiaki/Nodame right? Right?! Sigh, and to think I gave ISWAK such a hard time (more on that later).

Some of my favourite shots from the pilot.


Heh. The things you can do with giant paper fans.


Nodame's apartment. This is pretty much what my room looks like. But I wash my hair more often though.


I totally love this scene. It totally makes me LOL how Chiaki is trying to pretend not to know her and trying to act all cool. And the way he flings the belt into the trees is just plain awesome.


It's not abuse if he's trying to help her! It's just a form of discipline that's all!


His delivery of this line cracks me up so much.


Admit it. You'd so buy that too if you saw it in a store.


MINE!!! I LOVE HIM! AND HIS RAD HAIR! (I don't even like Asian guys with blonde hair but Mine totally rocks it out cos he's so awesome!)


Okuyama, a claustrophobic timpanist who has a huge crush on Chiaki. I totally like him cos he's hilarious and wears totally awesome outfits from the '70's. Not to mention the kickass 'fro.


2. Why aren't there any jdrama dvds in North America? Y'know the "official" ones with pretty packaging and English subtitles with correct spelling and grammar. There's a lot of those for kdramas but not jdramas. I always thought jdramas were more popular than kdramas... What the hell? I need my Nobuta wo Produce and Deer Man dvds. (I know I can burn them but that means I'd have to hardsub them which hasn't exactly worked for me so far and whenever I burn something with Nero it won't play on the tv but works on the computer. But since I got Vista and can't install Nero, I decided to use the Windows DVD Maker (it's not bad) and it plays on my tv with a lot of skipping but will not play on my computer. Dammit! Why am I not a techno-geek?! And how come Veronica gets a Mac but I don't?! Not fair.)

3. Zach Gilford hates Matt/Julie! He says Julie always treated him like crap and as a fan he just really doesn't like Matt/Julie. Also having a relationship with Carlotta was his idea which is just ew. But I kinda have to disagree with him though and not because I'm a Matt/Julie fan. I mean, okay, yeah, Julie wasn't as nice to him as he was to her. And she totally did take him for granted but she didn't always treat him like crap. There were times when she was really sweet to him and even took care of his Grandma for him. Sigh... It just makes me sad that he hates Matt/Julie. They're so my OTP of FNL.
Oh and how are Tim, Lyla and Tyra all in the same grade as Matt? Seriously, wtf?! That makes no sense at all. I mean in Season 1 they made a big deal about Tim's, Lyla's and Tyra's college bound futures or whatever so... I mean, that does not make any fucking sense!
But I am happy about Tyra/Landry breaking up. Never liked or got it. I basically hated the Tyra/Landry murder-romance arc of Season 2. I'm probably the only person who doesn't like them though. I should probably watch out when I go outside tomorrow cos I'm afraid I'll get bombarded with rotten eggs courtesy of the Landry/Tyra fans.

4. ISWAK is totally not my first twdrama. I was looking through my "consumption" list on Allconsuming and I've actually seen Marmalade Boy. It was when I had insomnia or something last year and was really into manga (shoujo manga to be exact. I was really into Midnight Secretary... I wonder what's going on with that. It was major crack.) and I streamed it on youtube after reading the manga. I never finished it though. Okay, Marmalade Boy was no better than ISWAK (it might even have been worse, I can't exactly remember) especially the girl. Her fake!crying is just awful and really really fake. Ariel Lin is way better at the crying wangsting thing. But I didn't and still don't have anything mean to say about it. Y'know I was especially mean to ISWAK for some reason. I mean, it's certainly better than Passions. That show had a very hairy cop making out, marrying and having kids with a chimp named Precious. (Precious had a crush on Luis and would fantasize about making out with him, marrying him and having his kids. They had the actual actor do all that with the actual monkey.) And I used to watch that show religiously. (Do not judge me! I bet you all were into Passions or some other soap too. Though no soap's as awesome as Passions.) I was not only mean about the plot and the acting but I was totally nitpicky about the actors. I'm actually starting to feel bad and a little guilty. Okay, I realize I sound like a complete nutjob cos I'm obsessing over being mean to a fricken tv show but I feel like I've kicked a puppy or something...

5. I tried really hard to get into Hana Kimi (manga not drama). I just can't. I mean, I really like stories where the girl has to pretend to be a boy for some sort of reason (my favourite Secret Seven book was totally the one where the girl they were looking for was pretending to be a stable boy) but I can't get into this one. I've also decided to give up on Hana Yori Dango and just watch the drama instead. I don't think I can read like 26 volumes of that story cos it clearly does not need that many volumes (Skip Beat! I'm looking at you as well). I think I should read Black Cat instead which sounds a bit Cowboy Bebop-esque.

6. Finally listened to Beck's Modern Guilt. It's not bad but not as brilliant as I thought it would be. Hm, so I guess that's why people have stopped getting excited about Beck's stuff since Sea Change (my favourite Beck album, btw). I'm totally obsessed with the Stars album though. I know I'm a little late to the party but I absolutely love it. And the songs refuse to leave my head.

7. Has anyone read Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce (or anything written by Tamora Pierce)? I just bought it cos I heard she writes awesome fantasy books with really strong female characters... Please tell me it's good or her stuff in general is good.

8. Okay, so how is it possible for Mr Manorexia Japan, Kamenashi Kazuya to play a boxer on the heavy side? Don't get me wrong, I love the guy a whole lot but he's really scrawny! But  Iwill watch 1 Pound Gospel no matter what cos it sounds so awesome and cracktastic!

9. Nana 2 and The Forbidden Kingdom both suck. I made through about halfway.
Also, Jet Lee>Jackie Chan.

10. I finished 20 hours of my community service! I'm halfway through! I only have to endure that horrid place for 5 more days! After that I will marathon The Legend again (I will bet you it's even better the second time around) and Spaced/Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz (I am so jealous of everyone who's going to Comic Con and already bought the Spaced DVD).
