For French Elle.
I don’t know why I have always had the impression that Charlize Theron is a giantess. She seems like she could easily be 1.80m, but alas~~~ her IMDb says she’s shorter than that. I also never knew Uma Thurman was so tall. LOL

Oh, man~ This brings memories.
I used to live a block or two away from English Bay, so my friends and I would walk around the area for photos every weekend. Of course, we used to stick closer to where the families would hang out xD
One of the many apartments I stayed in, in fact… the one I shared with Seukjin-oppa (RIP) and Jae, had a great view of the bay… especially on sunsets during fairly rainy mornings. Sunsets in Vancouver were precious.
Like I told Julz now, I like BEG. xD Well, I liked GaIn better in the Abracadabra video, which I spent all weekend listening to. However, I also listened to Narsha’s new mini album… which was pretty ok.
This video, however, wow… is this a nominee for Most Use of Hair Styles or what??? xD I’m not gonna say I love it, but I’m probably gonna be caught humming it — just like I say Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Hyori style now.
You know what I like now? I like that the Kpop music scene is keeping the worldwide pop scene in good shape, with loads of style, colors, choreography, well-cut videos and quite danceable pop. Yeah, as much as I could criticize the commercialism, I can sit back and tell all of you, at least I would make an effort to pay for it. The Kpop scene has good quality pop acts… despite the ones whom you could be labeled as “guilty pleasures” *coughGeecough*
Yeah! Take that Miley, Bieber and… are the Jonas still relevant?
*EDIT*
I was completely sold on these, until the general shot…
I felt the bubble bursting… baw~~~~
Oh man, I used to have an imaginary dinosaur pet after Jurassic Park hahaha.
Also… down with CGI! I want puppets back in the game! The dinos here look so lifelike, it’s so freaky. It’s like you can actually feel their skin. Complete freak out. Nothing CG can do…
柴米油鹽醬醋茶 (Chai Mi You Yan Jiang Cu Cha), the first single of the just announced new album by Lee Hom Wang – probably out by the end of the month and titled 十八般武艺 (18 Types of Martial Arts?) – has just hit the net with a concept strikingly familiar to the first 15min. of Pixar’s UP.
Which… still kill me apparently. GOSH. Damn you, Leehom – you made me teary.
and the song, literally meaning “firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea” but it just names the simple “daily necessities”. At first listen, the songs seems average LHW style, but on following listening, it makes so much more sense… especially with the video.
*EDIT*
There’s an English-subbed version courtesy of Leehom’s channel~
Unlike Bjork, I feel Salyu is approachable, or it must be that politeness that plagues Japanese language as a whole… anyway, Salyu seems nicer than she appears with those crazy eyes. You know? When she’s singing in this performance of Glide, which by the way is one of those songs that don’t get performed enough for being part of the Lily Chou Chou repertoire, instead of Salyu’s. Because Salyu IS Lily.
Listening to her is one of those experiences, imagine it LIVE~ O.o
You just get to watch it as a YouTube stream, while I enjoy it on my 5.1 Surround sound dvd – and Bill… well, he gets to see Salyu live. I’ll stick to Bjork… unless Salyu decides to come here. Wink wink nudge nudge.
If this clip doesn’t get you to listen to other Salyu songs, I dunno what will.
Starring singer/actress Cyndi Wang. Why?
“A music video always needs a beautiful girl!” said Jing.
In this MV Cyndi’s character decides to move homes after her boyfriend suddenly passes away. However, she is unable to forget her past love and returns to her old home in search of any memories. Jing is the new resident of Cyndi’s old apartment and so the two continuously pass by each other. On the other hand, Jing is slightly aware of the past memories held in this apartment. Out of the blue, while Jing is at a café, she draws a sketch of the unfamiliar, yet familiar girl.

It’s like idols pee music videos in Asia… how long has it been since The Opposite Me, and Broken were released? Yeah, like two weeks? So it’s 3 singles with an album that just came out a week ago. Western musicians release around 4 singles throughout the whole run of their album.
I have been listening to Broken (Huai Le) non-stop.
This one’s for Bill~ thanks for the AI recommendation ;P
I have finally fallen in love with the song. It took a while~ Now, that Hitori janai kara/watashi ga kimi o mamoru kara kills me. The song is just so… uplifting. I think it might go great together with Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful. Once you hear it, you have to stand up and sing it out loud.
Here’s the okay-ish English lyrics.
I really like her FEAT AI album!
and her PASSION song kills me when she sings “Mira, mira / Watashi o mite”
I am beautiful… in every single way. Yeah, words won’t… bring me down~~~
There’s a very great interview with Bruno Maag about his er… dislike of the use of Helvetica. I, for one, don’t mind Helvetica as you can see, but I try to use other type when it fits. A friend of mine told me “When in doubt, use Helvetica”. I personally agree with Maag when he talks about Univers, it’s very clean and very helpful for reading. I also think that Helvetica’s quirks gives it the warmth he mentions.
Patrick Burgoyne: Bruno, where does your deep-seated hatred of Helvetica come from? Isn’t hating Helvetica pointless? It’s like air or vanilla ice cream, it’s just there…
Bruno Maag: That’s the point, it is vanilla ice cream.
My fave type is Futura, though. I like the roundy-ness xD
But when it fits, it fits. LOL
Read the whole thing over at Creative Review.
I was missing Dexter!
So instead of watching the show, which would require me 13hrs of my week for just one season, I decided to look up for the Main Titles done by the awesome team at Digital Kitchen~

There is something very attractive about Michael C. Hall. Or maybe Dexter? LOL Anyway, he’s a sexy beast xD full of quiveration, I’m telling you~
