why is that? how is that?
I’m not particularly fond of Mr. Vargas Llosa, but I ran into these covers, which are way cooler than the version of his books that I’ve seen lying around bookshelves.

OMG. A couple more shots, including one of Jack Skellington, over at Otto-Otto.
Maca, why didn’t you go! You missed Johnny! xD
I’ve been listening to their last 2 albums these past two days.
Is Hanson a guilty pleasure? Sure, I can’t tell everyone, but I do tell some people they’ve got to let those MMMBop days go. Honestly, you can’t judge a group by a song you heard in the late 90s. If you only let yourself listen to Underneath, and The Walk you would understand.
Plus, it doesn’t count if they liked MMMBop and then it got too popular for its own good.
Actually, Underneath Acoustic is pretty great, and I just happened to read that they also did a re-recording of their debut Middle of Nowhere (for their 10th anniversary)… what that means? That means mature Hanson still singing their old songs. Can you imagine Justin Timberlake singing Bye Bye Bye? He’s too afraid. LOL
Come on! Michael Jackson was still comfortable performing I Want You Back, and I’ll Be There.
I also read that a new album will be released next year… May, hopefully.
While updating myself on Hanson news, I found two interesting posts… In Defense of the Hanson Brothers, and Hanson in Sharp Form… – Here’s a couple of excerpts~
There’s little point in dancing around it: I like Hanson. Always have. I’ve also spent enough time listening to Slayer, Motorhead, Mayhem, Krisiun and the like to feel comfortable with my affinity for this trio of pop-friendly siblings.
Like keyboardist/singer Taylor Hanson, I wasn’t a Gilmore Girls watcher, but I read recently that one character on the show referred to Hanson as “the new Bee Gees.” Then it all made sense.
And the most interesting part of the whole post was this:
Then a friend who spent most of his time listening to Norwegian black metal told me he was impressed with songs that would eventually appear on Underneath (2004).
Also… did you know? *warning, Amy facts may seem weird* Taylor was my brother of choice. xD

Will’s not-a-pregnant wife.
Listen, you little psycho. This is Will’s wife, and if I don’t get enough sleep my anti-depressants won’t work, and then I’ll go crazy and I’ll kill you.
HAHAHAHA.
Stalkers make me laugh.
Suzy Pepper (laughs) was played by Sarah Drew, who also played Bianca… Jaye’s stuttering stalker on Wonderfalls.
This does not compute.
Yu Aoi as a bride? LOL
Actually, film looks interesting (even without subs), though… random question~
Is Ryo Kase Koharu’s (Yu Aoi) friend or husband-to-be? I couldn’t make it out on the scene. And I know Nippon Cinema says it’s her friend, but their scene seemed too close to be just friends. Over-reading! You can tell I’m starving for a new film.

Also, aoinohoho has a video of the Otouto press conference.
89 documentary films have been reduced to 15 films. On the race? The Don’t-Kill-the-Dolphins documentary The Cove, which created a fuzz when the Tokyo Film Festival didn’t let them open the event.
But you know, dolphins are cute this is why it deserves a documentary (and it will probably win an Oscar for it if the cuteness continues).
I really want to be wrong on this one.
Food, Inc. is also on the race. I learned something from this one, must admit.
Just finished browsing through my Communication Arts issue, and ran into these posters for TCM and their classic film line up for the summer, which I thought were pretty cool.
I found these shots of Anne Hathaway taken by Yu Tsai
Cute, but you gotta see the ones with Eva Green — photographer, I dunno.
You know? Well, let me know then…
We usually butcher language in this place, combining words from different languages, inventing verbs [check RASUTO FURENZING, Bibifying] and adjectives [check Bibified], but we do care about language… considering everyone seems to butcher language.
According to the Oxford New American Dictionary, “unfriend” is the top word of 2009.
This was also interesting;
Dictionary officials said twitterisms comprised a “notable word cluster” in 2009, including the following terms related to the social network: tweeps, tweetup, twitt, twitterati, twitterature, twitterverse/sphere, retweet, twibe, sweeple,tweepish, tweetaholic, twittermob, and twitterhea.
Also, I didn’t see the big deal about the Whopper Sacrifice promo. People DO have friends that are useless. Like people with over 1k contacts… and they only speak with only 10 LOL
Too many words to learn xD One of them is “tramp stamp,” a tattoo on the lower back, usually on a woman – now, I wonder how many women I know with those. Very telling, very telling. xP
Woah, long time~ Has it been two months already? Well, I thought since One Million Yen has come out (finally!) with English subtitles on an “official” release, that I’d give this a push. I know most of you would have seen Tokyo!, Hyakuman-en and Honokaa Boy by now, but we’re trying to space them out because there hasn’t been any new project announcement since Otouto, which opens this coming January.
In the meantime, you’ll have to enjoy these things.
Here we go~~~
