Back from NH

quick post.

So I just got back fron hockey camp at UNH. It was about a week long and there were maybe 150 kids there spread over 4 age groups. It was crazy!!! I had a really hyper korean roommate.   I saw so many look-alikes.  One girl on my team – Stephanie – looked exactly like Tackey. (Takizawa Hideaki of Tackey and Tsubasa)  They both have the same nose and mouth. Stephanie isn’t asian, but her eyes were really similar too. Ocasionally, we’d see some of the other age groups as we walked through campus. There was this other girl, (I think in U14) that looked exactly like Joe Cheng. (ISWAK, Summer X Summer, and others) Their eyes were the exact same. EXACTLY. (This girl was Chinese, I think) 

OH! and because pictures are fun, check out these sad little ones.

.

Basically, my drama withdrawal symptioms flared up while I was away.

Code Blue Episodes 1&2

So I just wached Code Blue episodes 1 and 2. A bit different from what was expecting, but still pretty good.

Picture Time!!

 

(notice how Yamapi is just an illustration- why must Johnny’s be so ANAL about pictures of the guys??)

here are a few screenshots. (I tried so hard to get these at the right times)

 

 

look at those shoulders.

 

look at those abs and pecs.

 

OK,

So I’m not the type to scream “kyaaa kyaaaa” when I see some star or idol or whoever. I watched the first minute of ep 1, and was like “Oh, wow – he’s in shape. mmmhmmmm.” I reccommended Code Blue to a friend, and we were later online – after she had watched it.

So we’re chatting, and the first thing she says is “DID YOU SEE HIS BODY???!!!!” < like that

She’s aggressive, using all caps, I thought. But I just was like “Yeah – he stays in shape.”

She then replies, key-smashing, “HE’S ONE SMOKIN PEICE OF MANFLESH!!!”

Our conversation went on like this for about 20 minutes.

And some recent celeb gossip – are Hayami Mokomichi and Itoh Masaki dating????  OOOHHHH!!!!  an 8 year difference. (though I don’t really care)  Hayami (23) and Misaki (31) – - - reminds me of Sappuri.   But, we’re not sure because the magazine didn’t have any pictures…

Also Ayase Haruka in the movie Ichi. She plays a blind fighter. Apparently she liked and trained very hard for the fighting and killing scenes.  I think I’ll watch it when it comes out.

Back from vacation and camp

Hey!

I’m back. It’ll be a short post today.   We went to Mexico, to a resort on the ocean. Boy, it was HOT!!!   well, duh, its Mexico.    I got an absolutely horrible sunburn on my back and shoulders. I couldn’t move for a few days.   But the trip was really fun otherwise – we swam in the HUGE pool and ocean. We ate at a teppanyaki restaurant in the resort. (which was really good, considering all the cooks were mexican and most were in training)          So, thats it. Nice post, huh. 

p.s. – cant wait for subs of MAOU and CODE BLUE!!!   I hear the Code Blue’s first episode rated 21.2% or something. Is it because of Yamapi? or Gakki??

comments on Last Friends

So today, I started watching Last Friends. My expectations were that it would be slow-moving, boring, and that I’d lose interest after the first episode. Wow, I was really wrong. So, I decided I’d post a few of my comments about the series as I watch it. Right now, I’m on episode 3 (just 3, I know).

First, the opening. The theme song, Prisoner of Love by Utada Hikaru is a great song. The first time I heard it, I went and downloaded it off Youtube. Onto my iPod it went. (By the way my iPod is a silver 8GB video nano and its name is Kudou for now. My 80GB video and my green 1st generation mini have all broken. Apple and I have a love/hate relationship.)  The song fits the drama so well. Every character has a love conflict - Michiru loves Sousuke, but is in an abusive relationship. Ruka loves Michiru, but Michiru is with Sousuke. And Takeru loves Ruka, but Ruka loves Michiru. The scenes in the opening show the love complications. I also really liked the red string – the akai ito – swirling through the curtains, and how all the characters wear white.

As for characters, I love Ruka – she’s boyish and thoughtful, and I like Takeru – he’s also thoughtful, and he seems sensible and cool. But, I really, really don’t like Michiru. She’s so weak-spirited. The first time Sousuke got violent with her, she should have left him. I try to understand that she still loves him, and believes he is sorry, but I just don’t see why she stays. He’s so controlling – she can’t go out without telling him when she’ll be back, she can’t cut men’s hair, she can’t see Ruka. I mean, GEEZ, cant she see he’s a jerk.  Oh, and the cafe scene in episode 3 made me really mad. Michiru was all like, “I’ve never felt loved…until I met Sousuke…he CAN go overboard…but I can feel his love…” Yeah, she can feel it through the bruises and cuts he gives her. And, on top of that, she says it in front of Ruka, who’s loved her more than anyone else in her sad little life from way back when they were in high school. MICHIRU, GET A GRIP!!!

Casting was done especially well for the show. Ryo Nishikido has this dark aura – perfect for a screwed up DV guy, and Eita is just awkward enough with that haircut to be potentially gay. The actors playing Michiru and Ruka are superb. To make me hate Michiru that much, come on. And Ruka has that boyish charm and stubborn personality.

well, that’s all for now, now that I’ve typed myself into a fit of anger. If I keep going, I’ll probably start foaming at the mouth. For the people who like Michiru, I’ll try to pity her life a bit more. But, if she doesn’t find a way to move in with Ruka, Takeru, Eri, and Ogurin soon, I might just have a cow.

Ranting and Raving! with some other good stuffs

 Haven’t posted in a while. I have been reminiscing about all my first dramas – Hana Kimi, Hana Yori Dango, and Kurosagi. I’ve been re-watching HYD and the first few episodes of Kurosagi the past few days. HYD is just as good the second time!! I had a friend over recently, and I made her watch Hana Kimi. We got up to the 10 episode – and she actually didn’t mind it. (she’s not the drama type) She liked Nakatsu better than Sano. I, on the other hand, am a total Sano/Mizuki fan. Speaking of Sano, did you know that Yamada Yu and Oguri Shun are together??? I had no idea…maybe that’s old news

I have some more drama news which you may or may not have heard of - There’s going to be a Hana Yori Dango Final Movie, a Crows Zero 2, and Code Blue (Yamapi, Aragaki Yui, and Toda Erika) and Maou (Ohno Satoshi, Ikuta Toma) face off in July!!!  I’m pumped!

 So, I was flipping through a Shoxx mag, and I saw the page featuring SuG, and I was all like “BAM!! Is that Jin Akanishi???” (I had looked at it really quickly, so I had to do a double take) it turned out it wasn’t, but they looked really similar. same face shape, same lips…except Jin’s are sexier… The makeup for visual kei and j-rock acts is INTENSE. I’ve seen a few vids on youtube of some band members doing style cure tutorials, and those makeup artists have sh**loads of makeup!!! I saw one girl with a tray of eyeshadow that was 2 ft X 2 ft, and it had every shade.   I feel so insignificant…*girl who hardly wears makeup*

On a totally random note, there was a drama I used to watch called BoysESTE, or Boys Esthetics, and it was good! But, after about the 5th episode, it dissapeared. I cant find it anywhere – raw or subbed!! I guess the sub group dropped it, or the show stopped all together…

ω Some more news!!! ω I am officially going to China in summer of 2009 – 2010!! I’m SO excited – it’s a school thing, and we’ll be really busy visiting different historic places, (more of a trip, not a vacation) but I’m still really happy! I’ll have to work hard in my chinese class next year so I’ll be ready.  Maybe I’ll get on the wrong flight home and end up in Japan…by accident…*plots*

Now I go listen to Arashi’s new single One Love (!!!!!!) and then go sleep.
