After LOLcats and LOL Vogue, I bring you... LOL Idoru
just take me out back and shoot me now *facepalm*


( More after the cut )

DUES sold 380,000 in its FIRST WEEK. And Jin flew *economy* from LA to Narita on Monday.


Seriously, Johnny, Fagin was the *villain* not a business model...

I will now start posting regularly for the first time in....oh three years.

But since this will all mostly be blather about the Japanese Entertainment industry in general and boybands in particular, I'll be filtering all those posts. Comment if anyone actually wants to be subjected to my verbal diarrhea.

This is for the Autumn Quarter London Prgm NOT the year long prgms.

Exactly how competitive is this program? What kind of experiences have people had with it (getting in, etc)?

So far I know of 6 people off-hand that are applying, and I'm sure that there are many more. And I hear that positions are competitive. I've hear that there are only about forty or so spots open.

What have other people heard? I really nervous about getting in. Thanks!

Quoted from the blog of Mistress Matisse, a Seattle writer and professional dominatrix.

"Full and exact text of an email I got last week:


hi mam im lloking for 24/7 servitude


I am filled with emotion by this email. The care, the crafting, the raw human effort – it’s breathtaking. What can I think but that this person would bring exactly this much sincerity and dedication to my service? How can I resist such a passionate entreaty?


But no – am I worthy? Humble dominatrix that I am, am I truly, truly worthy of such painstaking care and towering devotion? Stay your hand, Matisse. Your time to accept such a one as this has not yet come. In fact, it may never come.


I am at peace with that."

For those who aren't familiar with it, that would be sarcasm. I would strongly recommend this down-to-earth blog about Matisse's kinky and non-kinky exploits. It's very amusing, but be warned that it can be very much not-work safe. Also, it can, obviously, be squick-inducing.

I was checking the weather for the next week and knew that I had hit a desperate low when I thought to myself, "huh, wow, at least it's going to warm up Tuesday." at a whopping 14 degree high. *facepalm*

Though I suppose when it's currently -20 degrees with windchill you don't have much to look forward to, aside from frostbite that is.

In other news, I bought my first micro-mini skirt today. For some inexplicable reason, they were on sale. Go figure.

I saw a picture of a sleeping cartoon figure and was hit by a wave of jealousy so bad I had to close the Safari window.

Also does anyone want to go to London with me for spring break?

Okay so where is this from?

There's a beautiful woman sitting in the grass on a hill (a cliff?) talking to someone (male). She's immortal, and gifted with eternal youth. She's also desperate to get rid of it, and willing to take drastic steps in order to do so. Her companion questions her asking her why she would want that. I mean, it's not like she's Tithonus, immortal but aged and shriveled into a cicada. She has eternal life and youth and beauty. She can't be that bored.

She goes on to explain that her brand of immortality means that her body relives the same day (days?) of her life over and over again.

She's been having a miscarriage every morning for 100 years. (something like this)

Where on earth is this from? I'm thinking "Sandman" or some other comic, but I'm not sure.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? The details could be wrong, just the general jist of it.

So I'm back from Thanksgiving, which was fun all-around, save for the TWO 6 am flights I had to take.

Saw Casino Royale, which was fun. I disliked the pacing and construction of the story, but I thought the visuals were amazing.


Also, I am just extremely amused by this http://pics.livejournal.com/nemasen/pic/000gfteh picture. Thanks to nemasen

This is great, amused me greatly! Apparently some things transcend language :P

just won the house, just won montana... so damn close.

come on virginia, you can do it! (stupid refresh takes too long)

So... I first sat down to watch this show with the expectation that it would suck, horribly. I mean its a "ugly" girl from Queens going to work for a handsome, playboy who just got put in charge of daddy's fashion magazine. It sounded like all kinds of cliches.

But I was really surprised, in a VERY GOOD way.

It has *layers* and continuity. And there's no quick make-over fix. All of the characters, even the most seemingly vapid ones, have some sort of depth. . Best of all it looks like Betty is a solid three-dimensional character who won't be knocking boots with her boss any time show. For a show based on a tele-novel, soap opera, it's really amazingly good.

Also, I think Daniel is just adorable.

If you're bored and killing time, check it out. Its available for free on abc.com

this is actually less than i'd thought, but its probably a somewhat conservative estimate too

So, I've managed to get myself in charge of managing volunteers for this university event my RSO is planning.

I"m 6 volunteers short on one shift which is ridiculous since i have more than enough on the others.

Ugh, i've gone through all the stages: anger, desperation, bargaining, and right back out to apathy. I give up. I think people are now afraid of talking to me because the know that i'll ask them to volunteer. Mine is a sad sad life.

On the bright side, next event we need volunteers for is ages away AND my co-chair will deal with it.

still, its sad that my sense of self-worth is now determined by whether someone will volunteer or not. i need a cat.
