I understand there's hardly anything worse than saying "I'm a Super Junior fanclub member", but every time I read "I'm an ELF", I can't help, but rofl.

My Own Private Idaho

I finally watched it. It's been ages. I remember first seeing a tiny article about it in an old magazine back in 1999? and making a mental note to find it. And now I feel incredibly shallow since I only have 3 things to say about it:

- it's weird
- it's sad
- Keanu Reeves looks damn hot in it.

The best ChunJae ever. It's a classic. I can't fucking believe it's her first DBSK fic. I love Sazz for recomending it. It's epic.

Seriously, ChunJae is the most underrated pairing. Not right.

Last Post of the Year.

kirei na yoru dakara...
saigo no yoru dakara...

I can't believe the year is almost over. Tried to finish at least a couple of things. Even if it's something as silly as an old game. Spent several hours last night on it. But I remember buying it in my 1st or 2nd year at uni as a present for myself and being all excited about it. I tried to savour it but then somehow I lost interest. But it's a good feeling... picking up pieces from the past. And the 3,500 unsorted photos still remain...

But anyway... time to sum up.
It's been an eventful year now that I look at it.

Finishing the uni - putting an end to a 5-year period of my life. It's both fulfilling and a little sad. I enjoyed the student's life, but now it's time to move on.
Finally being accepted to the Japanese courses. It means a lot to me and I really try to try my best.
Complete redecoration of the flat, most importantly my room. After all these years it's finally taking my dream shape. Deep greyish blue, with dark gothic furniture and glass accessories.
Then there was this gig which seems more like a dream. Seeing Sugizo play guitar and violin and even seeing him up close... It was an amazing experience.
I should also note the short but wonderful trip to Moskow and attending the SlashCon 2008.

These are the key points. There were also other notable events. Such as acquiring a new computer, which actually brought as much frustration as it did joy. Or my friends changing apartments, which has little to do with me at first sight, but is actually a change in 2 out of 3 major routes I use. And just small things like finishing 7 videos, watching some good movies and reading countless good fics.

All in all in my it's been a great year. A little sad to part with it. But the time has come. To let go and take a step forth. Into the future.

I just read a fic written by an 11-year old.

Aish, kids these days. Thank god it was fluff. And it wasn't that bad, some mistakes and all, but she's Asian and it was way better than stuff a lot of people in their 20's write.
What is this world coming to?... I only became a slasher at nearly 17.

самооткат.

Uroboros made.

I'm quite proud of myself. I finally decided to sort my Deg videos, which inevitably turned into a major catching-up, as I didn't have most of them. I came to about 45 PVs. I never even knew they had so many. Not that I even need them all in the first place, I probably won't even watch half of them anyway. Why do it then? Well, it's partly due to my OCD and partly because it's a band that makes music that that deserves to be stored and kept.

Dir en grey is a band than never quite made it into my favourites and I wouldn't dare to call myself a fan. Not because I don't want to, but rather because I feel I don't deserve the status. My favourite bands are chosen on the basis of ideology rather than music. Deg are way too disturbing and as much as I like the music, I never really made much of an effort to study their lyrics and concepts. With some songs I prefer not to know what they're about and just enjoy the raw sound. But then again, Kyo said:
"Even Japanese fans might not understand what I write. I want everyone in the whole world to feel the music on the same level, so it doesn't matter if you don't understand Japanese. It's just being able to understand music as a whole."

It's a bit strange, the way I only listen to about 1/3 of their songs, but those I listen to I like immensely. I never doubted Kyo's amazing screaming/shrilling/howling skills, but it's just not my cup of poison. It's like distilling. Last time with Marrow Of a Bone only 3 songs were qualified as listenable (that is - those that don't make my ears bleed), but those 3 I instantly fell in love with and they dwell in my player ever since. When I heard that Uroboros shall be "a progression into "heavier and darker" sounds than prior albums" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry and I didn't expect much, but this time I came to 6 tracks out of 13.

I really like Glass Skin. Even though the original Japanese verson sounds sharper, the English lyrics are good and I actually think they fit the song better, even though Kyo sounds like he sings with a mouthful of stones) It always amazed me how Japenese manage to write decent lyrics in English when they can't even put two words together if they try to talk.

But my favourite has to be Toguro. When I heard it I understood the meaning of this review: vocalist Kyo sets emphasis on "non-screaming vocals," accentuating softer composition.

Kyo is a separate case. At first I referred to him no other than "Little monster", but over the years my attitude has changed drastically. I'm attracted to things and people I don't understand, so he both fascinates and freaks the hell out of me. But that's a whole different story altogether.

I kinda miss the old times of VK and I just watched one of these old VCR-recorded really awkward shows where they had full gear and make-up and stuff and they had to introduce themselves and tell what their favourite season was and it was so ridiculous and lovely, but VK in its original meaning is dead and true artists have to reinvent themselves. Deg has come a long way and I think they know exactly how it's done.

Christmas is...

I love Christmas. In fact, it's my favourite holiday. But I'm not a Christian and never celebrate it. Though the Japanese never seemed to care. Isn't it the prettiest holiday ever? Christmas trees and presents in shiny boxes and socks above the fireplace and mistletoe... Even though I feel like falling into hybernation, even though I'm miserable like a melting snowman...
What the hell?

Maybe he just spends too much time online... XDDD

The light is still on!!! Never had luck with the lantern, so... ))

He totally ripped his site off Hyde's! Not that I mind. I like the design and the new democratic approach. Now his blog is open to all, as well as the Message to Gackt section, so you can write to him just like that. But mind you have to name the street you live in. So he can hunt you down if he won't like your message, probably))
