  • Current State of my iTunes

    Been backing up stuff, so a lot of stuff seems to have dead links.
    cannot think about the time to format. O.o

    Just finished moving all my music (because that’s the easiest to move).
    know some of them? xD teehee, predominantly Chinese and overall Asian-ness~~~ xD

    iTunes - Dec 2009


  • Become a Fan, Listen to Alicia Keys’ New Album

    Well, f*ck me twice on a Sunday.

    I was googling Alicia Keys because I needed the name of her album, and came up with the news that her album… out on December 15th (on time for next YAM) can be listened to if you become a fan of Alicia Keys on Facebook. Now, never have I ever become a Fan of x-artist. I’ve joined their groups, but never became a fan… even of Yu. At least on Facebook. xD

    Anyway, why am I talking about this? Because I opened the Alicia Keys page… read that I needed to become a fan, and I actually considered becoming one. After all, I can just stop being a fan — so that’s actually a pretty good campaign. One click away and you can stream Keys’ new album one week ahead of anyone. I’m sure there will be people, unlike me, who will click the button and listen to it. I mean, this actually made me consider… I was looking at the page for several seconds, when I usually just delete any Fan Page invitation.

    I also just block most applications, unless I’m looking for it specifically.


  • Takeshi Kaneshiro for GQ China

    Takeshi Kaneshiro is possibly the hottest Asian actor alive. LOL You can’t EVER go wrong with a Kaneshiro photo… and he speaks Mandarin, Taiwanese, Cantonese, Japanese, and English. *melts*

  • Les Amants Papillons by Benjamin Lacombe

    I’m shallow like that, just saw this book’s cover and bought it.

    Les Amants Papillons or “Los Amantes Mariposa” based on the Chinese legend of the lovers… story as tragic as, or maybe even more so than Romeo & Juliet. I was all “wait a minute” why is her name Naoko? It’s all very Japanese/Chinese mix very much like in Mulan, but I could look passed that because the illustrations are oh so pretty.

    geez, depressing. xD

    Here’s some biscotti~~~


  • Glee Quote of the Week – S01×12 – Mattress

    Late quote, anyway~
    I was listening to the Glee OST *sings*
    I’m having trouble accepting there won’t be Glee for months.

    Glee - 1x12 - Break into the Business

    *cries*
    I can cry on demand. It’s one of my many talents. I am very versatile, and aside from nudity and the explotation of animals, I’d pretty much do anything to break into the business.

    so true, Rachel. so true. LOL


  • Hana & Alice – Kit Kat Vol. 1 & 2

    Found these ;P I think most of us know that Hana & Alice was expanded from the Kit Kat Anniversary CMs. xD Some cute moments here and there… if you haven’t seen the film, what are you waiting for?

  • Itoh Tube and Yu Aoi?

    I have no idea abut this, but I ran into this story from Walkerplus~

    As most fans know, Yu Aoi is represented by Itoh Company — whatever their actual reputation is — and here comes a story with the title “Itoh Tube leaking Voyeuristic Videos of Popular Actresses!?” WHAT? I hope that by “Voyeuristic” in Kanji, they mean “insightful” otherwise… WHAT? LOL

    From what I could gather… meaning from what makes sense on the Google Translate. It seems like Itoh Company is re-vamping their YouTube Account (because prior to these random releases, their channel was rubbish) by creating a sort of a series featuring their signed artists… including Yu. It seems like those VH1 “Diary of…” where they followed x singer/group while they were preparing a concert, etc. It’s supposed to be going into the life of x idol while they go about their business and personal life… I think.

    Here’s Yu’s Itoh Tube space. There’s two videos at the moment — one of Yu’s Itoh Channel intro and her own intro *minna-san, aoi yuu desu* xD and a short Making of the latest dancing Kirin CM. I only understood, “It’s been a while since you last dance” or something like that.

    I’m impressed at how she manages to change her voice when talking and sponsoring. One seems very serious and even very grown-up, and then she goes on her “work voice” totally high and chirpy. Like two different people. LOL

    What you think?


  • National Board of Review 2009 Winners

    I think Julz is going to be VERY happy.

    The National Board of Review named Up in the Air as the best film of the year. And like the Examiner mentions on its article… is this backlash against Mo’Nique’s refusal to promote the film and piss on her Oscar chances? Woah, that’s like a mafia. LOL

    Clint Eastwood was named Best Director for Invictus, but like The Envelope says… Eastwood is a NBR fave. It really IS like a mafia~~~
