Shooting star.... The song is pretty lame. And here I was relying on you, Saga. The PV is... nice, I guess. But kind of pointless. Blue Flame at least had common theme and this is so random. Oh, well. The Tora is great though. And I have every intention of using it for my video.

Super Visual Battle 2013

You've gotta be shitting me. I did not get up at fucking 6 AM for this shit. The show was such a terrible waste of resources. It was the same people, the same venues and almost the same contests. They could have done is so much more interesting but it was way more boring than last year.



I absolutely adore the hosts yet I have to say the hosting was even more awkward that last year…



Not to mention… Tora, what the heck are you wearing>? You’re not even participating so you have no excuse. At the same time Shou’s clothes made him look a little pregnant…



Also OTP strikes again. Just like last year Nao jumps Saga.



Also I can't believe Shou lost in the first round... He must have been sleepy. Anyway, I was expecting at least some sort of punch line or something but there was nothing, ViViD just won at that was it. I even recorded it. Meh.

Just got accepted at 4writers. Dunno what will come of it yet but I have high hopes. I can't even feel a little glad that I got the highest passing score. It's all in that high self-esteem. If I fail I feel terrible, if I succeed I take it for granted.

Love Rain

It's a nice drama, it really is. Lately I have lost faith is Korean dramas feeling that they all follow exactly the same scheme. Well, not that this one is some extraordinary exception, but it feels kind of fresh. But it's mostly just good actors and pleasant picture.

You know one of the best features of Korean dramas is literally colours. At a time when outside everything was gray is offered a bright scenery that my eyes could rest upon. These people are so bold with colours you get jealous. The beginning featuring the 70's was especially interesting in that sense. It was worth watching for the fashion alone.

I think the main plot was not bad, kind of a karmic knot but of course they made the problem about 10 times more complicated than it was. The beginning was ok, then there was a part that I really enjoyed, about Epp. 6 to 10, then it got boring and ridiculous. Of course it's too long like most Korean dramas. I don't think there a drama that has ever justified being 20 episodes long.

I'd suggest alternative titles such as: "How one bitch made everyone suffer" or "how to lie to your loved ones repeatedly and fuck things up".

Now for the cast. I think Geun Suk seemed way too mellow playing In Ha. He is much better suited to play an arrogant asshole, he manages it exceptionally well. He fell into the role so naturally. As for YoonA I really was impressed. I have no interest in GG but she really is good at acting. I also think she and Geun Suk have good chemistry. And surprise! A good kissing scene! Kim Shi Hu is really cute. I felt so bad for his character, he looked pitiful. Also that obligatory fabulous gay guy at the studio=love.




All in all - a pleasant watch but way too long.

It has been long.... But now my game is finally stable (although slow) and it's Spring which means I can unleash my big project. Still early in its stages but...



Also a bonus. What Shou dreams about...



You better buy him these shoes...

Lately this little guy has been my best friend. Every day he comes to sit on the tree right next to my window and sings. It always cheers me up and makes me feel less lonely.

Being a fan is so difficult. Some 10 years ago I would probably befriend anyone who listened to my favourite band but now it's different. Like there's this level of fanaticism and you want the other person to be on the same level as you. Most of other fans are either not enough of a fan or too much of a fan. It's incredibly awkward either way.

So then this happens:

- OMG, this song is fantastic.
- It's nice.
- NOYOUDON'TUNDERSTAND! It's FANTASTIC, bitch!

Terrible experience for both sides. Before I was always the former, lately though I'm mostly the latter.

Sometimes I think "hobby" is something you were meant to do in your life but were too pussy to go for it.

The Unforgettable Concert in Japan (or just slackery)

It is safe to say that with this DVD JYJ has hit an all-time low. In terms of repertoire, performance quality, dancing and overall content. The DVD itself is also poorly made. The menu looks awful and the bonus content is boring.

You can see how much has changed in these last several years. Even though this concert is from two years ago. They don't have a team of coaches who train them viciously so they have gone slack in both singing and dancing. Performance level has gone down drastically. Well, not for Junsu. That boy is still dances like he breathes.

You can really see age is catching up on them. Now, at 27 you can tell who's been smoking and drinking. I've never seen Jae look so shit either.

Technically they performed 16 songs but it felt like it was about 10 with all the remixes and the video footage inserts. Plus they talked A LOT. I was seriously wondering whether Jaejoong was ever going to shut up. The background recording wasn't really background a lot of the time. I'm pretty sure Mission was fully lip-synched. And when they did sing it was often half-assed. Except Su, of course.

Also there was Yoochun's solo... I saw it before but this set up was even more vulgar that the previous one. I don't really care if he wants to play pimp but ruining such a nice song...

As for the repertoire, well it's never been that great even before but at least they had some really good songs written for them. Now they don't have that many and they can't even use the ones they released under Avex. Now I don't even know. That's how things are with freedom: I expected more self-composed songs and some of them are ok but some are just terrible, really. Maybe it's not such a brilliant idea to do so much on their own. It's better to have other people do it. Like the whole "director Kim" thing didn't really make much sense.

I can't say I'm overly disappointed or anything. In fact I accepted it surprisingly well. For me it's been over 6 years since I began to follow them so they're like old friends. I guess more than anything I'm just worried about them. Or maybe I'm just sad in a selfish way because I see such a waste of talent. Acting is good but I really wish they'd concentrate on singing more. Especially Yoochun. His voice is so fucking amazing and he has real musical talent. What happened to all the music he was supposed to have written since the debut? Ok, I need to shut up now.

Next up: Gonna dl and watch Tarantellegra.

I want to write about a dozen of posts but I can't. No, I rather want them written already. I need them written but way too lazy to write. There was a time when people even read them so it gave at least some stimulation but now I've gotten so lazy.

I bet people who invented the internet thought they’d banned boredom forever. Huh.

Gaming hardships

I've had terrible luck with gaming recently. At first there was the absolute HOG crisis. I think I installed and deleted about 5 games in a row, all of them either too creepy or poor graphics. So I gave up. Then somehow I suddenly felt an irresistible urge to play a good RPG. I began searching for something suitable - good graphics, good plot, nothing too creepy. I thought it shouldn't be too hard but I was wrong. All of the games I checked didn't suit me. Either too creepy, poor graphics, not for PC or an unlikable character. Many games have a set character and by a set character I mean a big stud. Lately I really don't feel like playing as a guy. Anyway. After a few days of wanderings I decided upon Jade Empire. Not exactly what I wanted, it seems more of an action/adventure than an RPG but oh well, we shall see.

I've been having this graphics problem for a few months now. The blue screen and just blackouts. After reinstalling Windows the BSODs stopped but the blackouts did not. I figured out it has to be either the power supply or the overheating. As I checked the temperatures it was clear that overheating did happen. Then I finally looked inside and realized that the GPU fan just stopped working altogether. I took it and cleaned it but it didn't work. It was only today that I decided to give it a little push and wonderfully enough it worked. Seems to be all fine now. Problem solved and I sure feel smart ))
