If we’re talking Fusion food (which I usually love), you can’t get more
than a Japanese-named Peruvian/Japanese restaurant place in Barcelona,
Right? xD that’s a lot of places into one.

I dunno what it’s like, but the typographic use is pretty cool no?

Can you imagine a house built entirely out of Lego?
you don’t need to imagine any longer~~~
and here is more nifty Lego stuff~
Vermeer’s Girl with the Pearl Earring,
DaVinci’s The Last Supper, and dear Mona Lisa
Warhol’s Marilyn, and also… there’s American Gothic~
There’s more here.
I decided to add Juri Ueno once and for all, well because Julz already spoiled my fun. LOL And just to make you look, I won’t tell you where I’ve placed Juri, you’ll have to check the list.
Just as Yu, Juri isn’t very known by your average person, unless you’re into jdramas and Japanese films – but once again, you so totally be watching her in whatever medium you can, or else~~~
Now, don’t get me wrong. You might be thinking she’s rude, but that’s only for this photoshoot. In fact, Juri Ueno is a ball of energy waiting to burst open. Quirky and off-beat, she’s mentioned that she’s grown up watching variety shows, and that she’s happy that there are roles for people like her, who don’t feel beautiful or “adorned”.
People like her? You mean, people with tons of personality and a lot of randomness?
Then, yes, please. We need more of you.
Even though Juri’s movie career has been a little on the erratic side of things – from the smallest of roles on Jozee, the Tiger and the Fish, to the awesomely funny Swing Girls, to the sort of bland Naoko, and the quirky GuGu the Cat – you just know that Juri has it. You only need to watch her interpretation of oddball pianist prodigy Noda Megumi on Nodame Cantabile and overlay it with her work as a motocross rider with identity issues on Last Friends. There is no broader acting range than that.
In interviews, she’s expressed a lot of interest in continuing working as an actor which will undoubtedly bring a string of new films (and dramas) that will keep us watching. Please, Juri! Keep on working! ^-^

wanna read more Juri Ueno?
I want to get over with this issue. If you visit the site, you already knew that I was going to add Yu Aoi to my list of Actors to Watch Until They’re 30, right? The issue here was which position I would place her… well, you’d be surprised to know that I didn’t place her on my #1, but she’s closed to it. She’s in fact #2 on my list based on the fact that not many people know about her outside the J-film watchers… but you (non Japanese film watcher) totally should.
I was struggling on who to pick as my #10 Actress, but I finally saw Miao Miao, so I thought to give the spot to Sandrine Pinna (or Chang Yung Yung). It’s an interesting choice for me because I’ve only ever seen her on this one film, but I’ll trust my gut instinct on this one… after all, I couldn’t really resist her charm on the first 10min of the film.
*EDIT* I had to change the other image because
it turned out NOT being Pinna. LOL Forgive.
I’m all over these! I’m telling you xD
Take it away, electro plankton~
… each frame is made of 7 thin layers of water buffalo horn exquisitely hand crafted and polished. The horn fibers run in opposite directions for strength and flexibility. No idea how much they cost but there are 3 standard frames and 3 corrective versions.
On an off-topic matter.
I haven’t decided whether to Live blog the Emmys tonight.
We’ll have to wait and see…
Wowza~
There’s been a 500% (or even more, I suck at math) in Yu searches today. Like in the last minutes of last night, there was a sudden 1/4 rise in total visits, so I wondered. I have found nothing extraordinary, so if something has indeed happened regarding Yu, please leave a comment. LOL
In my search, I found two nifty stuffs~~~

Time-lapse, slow-mo, and gorgeous photography/cinematography.
It’s as if it could be all GCI xD

Anyway! From Photographer Iain Crawford, here comes

Pimp the Blog!
From time to time, I link back to Julz blog, even though most her postings are now locked. What’s up with that, Julz? xD Anyway, I think it’s time to pimp blogs from time to time because, well… some blogs have simply good taste.
So I’m here to PIMP murmure*
murmure* is a Japanese blog in Japanese – don’t worry, you can still try to read it with Google translate – that talks about some different things, among those things are 3 mighty fine topics~~~
