In my quest to collect the ultimate HQ Music Video collection I finally reached Malice Mizer. The downloading, burning, ripping and re-ripping was a lot of work, but the result is good. Now I've got another almost perfect PV set. I also downloaded a better-quality Voyage DVD, but hell knows when I'm going to watch it. Downloading 3 DVD images right after disabling the DVD-player, is not smart at all.

Today didn't go as planned, but hey, at least I did a little demonstration on the basics of fanservice J-Rock)

Speaking of which last night I also realized most of the video bits and pieces are still as poor quality as used to be 5 years ago when I smuggled it. So I ripped Illuminati Live in HQ. Nostalgic, isn't it? Brings back all the good memories.

I really don't need much. Just a good concert and a glass of wine every once in a while. Do I ask for too much? Why is this shit happening to me? I'm so tired of this. On top of that I'm so bitchy lately. Maybe it's because I haven't seen chocolate in weeks, or milk or any unhealthy nutritious human food. I feel like I'm going a little crazy, like I might turn into some damn hippy. But it's ok, I'll get thought it somehow.

So in my infatuation with Shou Alice Nine I decided to go further than the mere polished image in the PVs and albums. After some digging I found myself at this Chile blog downloading Live Radio. I was afraid it would break the charm, but that wasn't it. Shou is very pretty and charming off-stage as well (especially since he grew back them eyebrows ))) he's a bit shy and very friendly. And obviously he's a camwhore but with his looks I can totally sympathize. I haven't really heard his speaking voice up until now and I have to say it at first it sounded kind of foreign and somewhat disappointing. I feel that is doesn't seem to fit his looks. But after awhile I got used to it. As for his vocals, I heard a lot of criticism, but from what I saw he's pretty good.

As for the rest of the band, I came to quite like them as well. Unlike many bands who barely speak to each other offstage, they seem to get on very well. Hiroto is really cute, but in a small and cuddly kind of way. To me he looks like a cross between old-school Toshiya and Ueda. Tora is very snarky but fun. Nao is very soft and cuddly. I see now why they nicknamed him Pooh. Still he's pretty atypical leader. And Saga... is weird. I can't figure him out.

MORE

So anyway then I moved to Alice9 Channel. The earlier episodes are not very fun and basically consist of aimless rambling and wring boards. So I mostly tried to make out at least the basic course of the conversation, but than that was just an excuse for ogling Shou (and occasionally Tora).



Lately thought they changed to a more action-based mode. And it's a lot more fun. I only saw this episode where they played this board game except it was on the floor. That.show.was.hilarious@! Poor Hiroto and his scrawny ass.



And that moment... it really reminded me of Jae at the Thanksgiving concert.



Seriously I find some similarities between the two of them. It's a bit like Shou is Jae's J-Rock alter ego. Watching Jae do Maze I can't help but think he could be a vocalist in some J-Rock band. It's not just about their looks, but behavior too - I noticed some similar gestures and Shou also has an idiotic laugh! Not to mention camwhoring, twitter and being a cat lady (he has 3 apparently!) And he has this violent blinking habit. But for people as good-looking as him it becomes a miroku of the sort. Anyway, I really hope next show will have Shou in it, because I could really use some entertainment.

But Twitter-whoring deserves a separate post.

Сбылась мечта... Наконец-то купили медиа-плеер. Они играет почти ВСЕ! Есть, конечно, и недостатки. ДВД не вставишь и с сабами немного странно, но это все мелочи. Любые форматы, ничего не заедает и, конечно, я познала счастие кое зовется HDMI. Теперь ничего не нужно пересчитывать, наконец могу смотреть видео, которые не влазят в экран монитора. Хорошо, что не все пересжала. Теперь экран полностью заполнен.




Но кроме всего этого я в восторге оттого, что не нужно больше мучится с дисками и флешками - я просто закидываю все на винт! Уже скинула все клипы и получаю эстетические экстазы. Прийдется пересмотреть свою позицию по поводу HD-видео.

Jang Geun Seok music collection

Я тут залила сборник музыки ГынСака для Ште. Довольно большая коллекция их всех фильмов, рекламы и прочее. Если вдруг кому-то еще интересно выложу тут.
Mediafire hates me.

Совсем уже страх потеряла. Оставлять на несколько часов открытый недописанный фик NC-17 и уходить. На английском, конечно, но все же. Вообще странно, пока писала мне даже совсем не мешали члены семьи в соседней комнате.

I really miss reading good fics at least once a week, now it's more like once a month. Lately only scarletpeonies saves me once in a while.


Yunho! ^o^

... What ...

I got another manpurse!

... the sixth, right?

No, it's a pretty one from YunJae fans.

.... oh ...

Yeah well, it's fucking amazing. I love it. At least, I get free shit from them, ne? ^o^

i guess? er, i do 2 xD;;;;

Oh I read another really bad fanfic. FML, this time I was a slut and you impregnated me again.

.... aren't you a slut and pregnant in all of them? o.o

... Fuck you. TT


LOLing forever....

Damn. I really wanted to order that DVD, but 99$ is way too much. It's the first time Japanese edition is cheaper than the Korean one. Maybe I should order Mozart! instead.

I turned down the mod position. I could say it's because I find it hard to keep up with what has been already posted and what not or because I can be a little forgetful, but in the end Number 1 reason would be: it won't pay off much. The comm has an average of 0 comments on their posts and I just don't see the point. The same reason I decided not to make all those photo posts any more. Maybe once in a while I will, but not now. Within the last month my Mediafire account received 1000+ downloads, but there were only a few comments. I'm too vain to share without any expectations at all. I know you never get 100% feedback and I don't ask for much, but I could really use some appreciation.

Don't just stand there, Yoochun! Do something! Ah, I forgot you can't do much. What a shame.
I can't believe the Pose Player was released weeks ago and yet there are no naughty poses. None at all. WTF, people?

My graphics card arrived! My Precious! The problem is there's no one to ask for help with installing it. I really don't want to give away my PC to some random dudes, they always mess up with it. I guess it's just another challenge for me.

I DID IT!!! I can't believe how cool I am.

The filming for You're My Pet doesn't begin until May, but GeunSuk has other surprises. I just found out he releses a Japanese single. The PV is already out, though the quality is pretty low. It's so strange hearing him sing in Japanese, but the song is not bad.

Also I saw the press-conference in Singapore. I didn't have much hope for his English from just 6 months spent in New Zealand, but apparently he wasn't wasting his time (like some) and he can talk more or less.

Finally done with that torrent of Gackt's old lives. Took me a couple of months and I almost lost hope, but today it went through. There are several gigs worth of old lives and some are really crappy quality, but I don't have the heart to delete them. I really wish I could have them in high quality, I got so pampered lately with all the HD and stuff.
One of the best things about TVXQ breaking up is that now I can spend more time listening to really good music.

Beauty is Female?

A couple of years ago I watched a documentary about what people consider beautiful about other people and why. There was one segment on how one scientist Dr. Stephen Marquardt may have discovered the secret of beauty. He basically calculated it. And it's all in proportions. So a beautiful face is proportional according to Golden Ratio: the “perfect face” has a mouth that is 1.618 times wider than the nose, eyes that are 1.618 times wider than the mouth, and so on. The overall shape of the face, size and shape of the jaw, and shape of the cheekbones also factor in, resulting in the so-called “Golden Mask”- an overlay of a “perfectly” proportioned face.

The thing is the mask was initially developed for women. When Marquardt first made his claims, he argued that his mask applies to both men and women, but recently he has changed his argument. Now he says that his mask applies to women, i.e., the archetype is a female face, and has come up with a male variant of the mask. But the male variant is secondary and it sort of undermines the idea.

So I used the original mask and played around with it a bit and of course the female mask fits some men very well.



Suppose in a way it helps me understand why all of the men I consider truly beautiful have very androgynous faces. If we are to talk about attraction though, it's a whole different story altogether.

ANOTHER INTERESTING STUDY

Another interesting study:

ScienceDaily (Oct. 21, 2009) — Beauty might seem to be only skin deep, but Gettysburg College Psychology Professor Richard Russell has found that there is more depth to facial differences between men and women than presumed.
In a study published in Perception, Russell demonstrated the existence of a facial contrast difference between the two genders. By measuring photographs of men and women, he found that female faces have greater contrast between eyes, lips, and surrounding skin than do male faces. This difference in facial contrast was also found to influence our perception of the gender of a face.
Regardless of race, female skin is known to be lighter than male skin. But Russell found that female eyes and lips are not lighter than those of males, which creates higher contrast of eyes and lips on women's faces. By experimenting with an androgynous face, Russell learned that faces can be manipulated to appear female by increasing facial contrast or to appear male by decreasing facial contrast.
"Though people are not consciously aware of the sex difference in contrast, they unconsciously use contrast as a cue to tell what sex a face is," Russell said. "We also use the amount of contrast in a face to judge how masculine or feminine the face is, which is related to how attractive we think it is."
Given this sex difference in contrast, Russell found a connection between the application of cosmetics and how it consistently increases facial contrast. Female faces wearing cosmetics have greater facial contrast than the same faces not wearing cosmetics. Russell noted that female facial beauty has been closely linked to sex differences, with femininity considered attractive. His results suggest that cosmetics may function in part by exaggerating a sexually dimorphic attribute to make the face appear more feminine and attractive.
"Cosmetics are typically used in precisely the correct way to exaggerate this difference, " Russell said. "Making the eyes and lips darker without changing the surrounding skin increases the facial contrast. Femininity and attractiveness are highly correlated, so making a face more feminine also makes it more attractive."
In the photo, "Illusion of Sex," two faces are perceived as male and female. However, both faces are actually versions of the same androgynous face. One face was created by increasing the contrast of the androgynous face, while the other face was created by decreasing the contrast. The face with more contrast is perceived as female, while the face with less contrast is perceived as male. This demonstrates that contrast is an important cue for perceiving the sex of a face, with greater contrast appearing feminine, and lesser contrast appearing masculine.

Да, у меня новый дизайн. Очень новый. Это первый раз за 4,5 лет существования дневника, когда меняю фоновый цвет. В первую очередь для глаз облегчение. Во-вторых, просто потому что сейчас стараюсь как можно больше всего изменить, даже по мелочи. Ну, и в-третьих, Весна все-таки!)) Потом может доработаю цветовую гамму, просто решение было внезапное.

About the new songs

First, ‘Boy’s Letter’ is a sweet ballad that holds the heart of a young boy for the girl he loves. Kim Jaejoong participated in the song’s creation.

‘You’re’ is a bright and airy song which holds the message of ‘You, I, and We are One’. Kim Junsu wrote the lyrics.

‘Get Out’ expresses the devastation and the fury of a man who witnesses the scene of love between a woman that he loves and his friend. Kim Jaejoong composed the song, and Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong co-wrote its lyrics.

The fourth new song ‘In Heaven’ makes the listener’s heart ring with the heart-tugging harmony of the three members. Kim Jaejoong wrote and composed the song.

Jaejoong also composed music for Dancer Time.

Yoochun: It is JYJ’s first tour abroad. The pride at the fact that ‘now we have enough songs that allow for a concert’ came to me first. I want to leave a strong impression unique to three of us to many fans and also want to show us as competent. I think this concert is going to be one in which I can evaluate for myself—‘I myself am currently at x stage (of life/career) and can go and reach x.’ I think this will be an opportunity for us to grow as artists.

Just waaaa~ My MVP

5-0 against a girls' team. But of course, once they saw Junsu they'd just forget about the game and go: "Oppa! "

I only wish Yoochun would participate too. I'm not so fond of Su jumping at or being squished and molested by random dudes.

I find it ironic how this kid is such a big fan of Yunho and a Jaejoong-lookalike. He's all like "Yunho sunbae! " Even his cellphone wallpaper is Yunho. I get angsty fanfic scenarios.

What I really hate is that most replies are bashing. Wtf is wrong with you, people? Even if he does copy Jae, who cares. He might be acting a little creepy with the twitter and all, but if he wants to get closer to Yunho it's his business. But then again YunJae fans are completely out of it and really scary.
Also the next time I hear someone call Jaejoong 'umma' or 'wifey' I'm gonna go berserk.

Я всегда радовалась, что у меня хорошее зрение, но последние несколько месяцев я стала замечать, что что-то не так, предметы начали расплываться и меня это очень пугало. Сегодня наконец проверила и вот - зрение на правом глазу сильно упало, особенно это заметно вечером. Блять. Только этого мне не хватало. Но я этого так не оставлю, это лишь еще одна проблема, которую нужно решить.
