  • Spirit Awards 2009!

    1.30hrs to the broadcast, but you can head… over  the Film Independent’s Spirit Award website, to see the LIVE blue carpet.

    Indie Spirits in my Room
    My TV, the Picture in Picture (PIP), and my computer set to Indie Spirits this afternoon~~~

    Well, I hope you’ve been watching- only 10 minutes to go… Melissa Leo was the cutest on the interview. The most fun there, actually… Ellen Page was there! Penelope Cruz… Richard Jenkins! James Franco, Mickey Rourke~~~ They also talked about Milk, and all about how they thought of rushing the opening of the film against Prop 8.

    This is actually quite an interesting live event, a LOT of talk about films and projects… and minimum glamour and dress talk. I mean, how many times should we hear “who are you wearing?” – Refreshing~~~ other than the missed interviews, even though Film Independent SHOULD get primary spot on the carpet, so no one can skip them~~~ and other weird camera movements…

    Kudos to them for the LIVE Event online~~ and hooray for NO RESTRICTIONS!!

    I think you can head back to their site just after the broadcast to watch the ceremony, and stuff.

  • My Debut Album

    LOL’ – Before this post, a quick reminder! 2hrs. left for Indie Spirits! – Will be blogging~~

    Okay, moving on…

    To Do This

    1. Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”
    The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

    2. Go to “Random quotations”
    The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

    3. Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
    Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

    4. Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

    5. Post it to FB with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
    (You can untag yourself if you don’t want this photo up).

    Here’s my result!

  • NHK’s Japan’s 100 Favorite Books

    Woah… my Japanese reading is most improved hahaha. I still suck at it, but not as badly. At least I sort of ‘get it’. Still can’t get the times though… is it 24hr time instead of PM, AM?

    Yu Aoi will be in the show/segment… whatever it is talking about her favorite book. 10min!! 8am – 13hr = 6pm?

    BS2　2月23日（月）8：00～8：10
    BSハイビジョン　2月23日　8：45～8：55／2月28日（土）7：45～8：35

    ?

    So, to catch those 10min you will have to tune in NHK on Sunday at 6pm GMT-5 – Then what’s BS HighVision? Another channel? Confused. haha.

    My Favorite Book, Japan’s 100 Favorite Books is listing a 100 people (including Yu’s)’s favorite books. Yu’s choice of book is Michio Hoshino’s essay 旅をする木 – if you can write Japanese (dunno if non-Japanese entries will be accepted), you can send them your favorite book!

    I dunno if I will be able to catch this… conflicts with my Oscar watch!
