I found this… seems to be pretty old considering this YouTube upload, but the animation style is still nifty. The Vimeo version doesn’t have a logo and is much MUCH crisper. I don’t know who did the animation though.
Remember when time-lapse used to be the craze within designer circles? You used to find all the good ones in design blogs, and stuff…
I found this on Facebook, posted from a second-hand rate website.
There’s also a Vimeo version.
I can see why people hate time-lapse now, though I gotta admit the time-lapse with Machu Picchu is quite stunning. We don’t get to see Machu Picchu shot as beautiful as it was shown there.
In the first part of this re-imagination of The L Word in a Jdrama universe, we saw my dreamcast.
I’m still a little unsure on one of my main details, though, and that’s whether I want Meisa Kuroki as Carmen — the hot Latina who sizzled people’s screens and made Shane go Loco (I’m sorry for the cheesy bad writing, but The L Word deserves this cheese)… or whether she should play Molly — the no-longer-straight law student who wouldn’t fall for Shane’s game, so I’m hoping to be able to make a reasonable mish-mash of the both of them.
I guess it must be the Blogathon week, I just couldn’t shake that feeling that I had to talk about The L Word one way or the other… again. What better way to talk about than combining it with MY FAVORITE topic as of lately~ JDRAMA!
A while back [1], I found a post where a fan talked what Japanese stars they would pick if they ever wanted to remake The L Word in Japan. Of course, I went a step further. I thought about the HOW TOs in the adaptation of a Japanese The L Word… because, well- for starters, Japan in not the USA. Also, I can’t show Showtime content on Japanese television. Not if I want to use my dreamcast~~~
I made this Jdrama character chart because I take this sh!t seriously. LOL
I was looking for some pictures for my upcoming post, when I stumbled into this Asami Mizukawa funny screencap from her show Yume wo Kanaeru Zo and I burst out laughing.
This is… sorta like a romantic version of infographics, right? xD

There’s also a Vimeo version available.
I’m not sure what this show is… singing contest or just pure music fun, but it’s called Tian Sheng Yi Dui (天聲一隊) and there’s no English name that I could find, so… Bibi had previously taken on Celine Dion [1], and I was about to post her video taking on Mayday’s LoveING (戀愛ING) [MV] [clip] when I found her re-taking on Aaron Kwok’s Give Your Never Ending Love (對你愛不完) [MV].
Which was good… and at the same time, positively hilarious.
She had previously done impressions of Aaron Kwok with that song [1], so it’s refreshing to see her singing her own version of the song, but at the same time having a blast doing it.
Why do we love musicals??
Why do I love it so much?
What kind of magic is this?
How come I can’t help adore it?
It’s just another musical
FML! Of course this amazingness had to be Japanese.
I’ve been looking for a proper way to store things in my bag (and elsewhere) — travelling is now a nightmare while one tries to figure out where to put cameras, phones, ipads, ipods, memory cards, cables, usb cables, chargers, and whatever else you travel with…
Coccon’s Grid-It! is… a pad, an elastic pad which you can use to strap things on. Sh!t doesn’t fall. You can stick it in your bag, or you can hang it on the side of your desk. You can shake it… it doesn’t freaking fall.
There seems to be 8 different sizes — from B6 format to A4 and a long format one — raging from $15USD to $45USD (1299 JPY to 3399 JPY).

It’s been years… YEARS… since I last saw a full episode of The L Word. It ended when it ended, and I’ve never had the intention to revisit it. However, I do revisit shippy fan videos because they tend to be the best of what was [1][2][3] — then there are not so shippy vids, but character vids [1].
Since I was trying to reconnect with fandom, I was browsing some threads on the battlefield cyber-ground that is the IMDb boards, where I found a thread talking about Max/Moira and how he was the “weakest and least likable” character on the whole show — COME ON, it’s a show with Jenny Schecter, and Max is the least likable? The user went onto describe Max as socially inept, filthy (for shooting illegal hormones), and having “gross love scenes” with Alan Cumming.
Now, I’m pretty sure we can agree that The L Word shat on Max’s transition storyline (pretty much just how Alice put him down many-a-times), and he was probably one of the weakest “starring roles” the show had… even if the show was populated by a number of poorly-written characters. However, I’m here to defend Max and what some people say was “gross” or “not nice” about him.
First of all, there’s nothing wrong with Daniela Sea to the eyes, and she did fairly well with whatever was thrown at her… but that can be said with pretty much anyone in the cast. LOL
