Finally watched 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. After all these years. Impressive as expected. Makes me wonder how my life would be now if I stayed in the MSP fandom. *sigh*

Scrubs

Scrubs is the best thing since sliced bread (apart from Korean Variety shows). It's also one of the best things that happened to me lately.
I wrote earlier that I don't care about House MD since I'm not into medicine, but this is a whole different matter. Each episode is 20 minutes of pure excitement and it rocks my day. I fell in love right from the very first seconds. I've never watched a show that long and I'm realy impressed that Bill Lawrence managed to make 8 seasons all of which are equally exciting. It usually gets kind of boring and wft after 2nd season.

I totally love Zach Braff and just about every member of the cast. Each character is so lovable. Crazy, but lovable.

There's even an OTP. Well, sort of. Turk and JD are just meant to be together. I squealed when in one of the specials Bill Lawrence said:"The biggest romance on the show, I think, is JD and Turk." And they are, in a way. Their relationship is one of the best things about the show. I think JD's constant problems with all his girlfriends is because he doesn't need one. What he really need is a good man to take care of him. I love Carla and all, but this is the truth. It's even better because Zach and Donald are very close in RL. Zonald FTW!
Come to think of it, it all started with 'Guy Love' about two years ago. I had no idea about the series, but the song is so much love I know it by heart by now.

But the best thing about it is that it's so much more than just a comedy show. There's a lot of drama involved and it's just so human and hits close to home. Everyone is fucked up and confused. Every day is a challenge, both in professional life and in private. Nothing makes sense. But that's the way life is.

I can't express in words all the great things about this show and why I'm so in love with it. I only watched 6 seasons so far, since I watched it in Russian and there's no further translation from MTV yet (who, btw, did an amazing job at both translation and dubbing) so I'll have to wait. That's something I really look forward to.

Yoosutic is hot. Especially this one. Acting rough... I like it. Took Thai fans 3 gigs to take good pictures.

Moon Hee Jun a former H.O.T member told his feeling about TVXQ member Youngwoong Jaejoong.
In one interview, Moon Hee Jun was asked about his opinion towards his hoobae (junior) “I have good relationship with all TVXQ members, but Jaejoong is the one who loves my music the most. I hope we’ll have this good relationship between us continues.”

Moon Hee Jun revealed that before debuted, Jaejoong was one of H.O.T fans. When H.O.T held concert, once he saw him among the crowd, Jaejoong instantly caught his attention. “Among all audiences’ faces, I only could see Jaejoong very clearly from stage, so I always noticed his existence. While in the other hand, we didn’t have that many fan boys, so among all those fan girls who were screaming our names, of course Jaejoong stood out. I didn’t know who Jaejoong was, at that time. I ever thought myself “is he a fan of mine?” “

“After TVXQ debut, Jaejoong greeted and introduced himself as H.O.T fan. When I met his father, he said to me, “Jaejoong adores Moon HeeJun a lot, he even has your poster on his room’s wall, listens to your song, and has a dream to be a singer too.” From that point, I started to hang out with Jaejoong. We talk about music while are drinking. Surprisingly, Jaejoong has the same music taste as me, which makes us bonding even better.”

In the end Moon Hee Jun stated, “Just after TVXQ debut, as they’re still at the same company SM entertainment, our music were kinda similar. However, as time goes by, now they’re building up their own unique music.”

Aww~ Though I bet HeeJun didn't know that JJ was actually a Kang Ta boy.

Were the World Mine

This is no news, but I feel that I need to commemorate. I had to watch it twice to get the real hang of it.
Note to self: never watch such films with someone who's falling on their face. Though the subtitles proved to be useful after all.
I really anticipated the movie. Went as far as thoroughly exploring the plot of Midsummer Night's Dream, even though that proved unnecessary. I was so thankful for an LGBT film that isn't a drama, since lately I'm a bit weary of gay films 95% of which end in tragedy. It's a movie that both gays ang straight open-minded people can enjoy. Were the World Mine has elements of comedy (or should I say Comedy Of Errors?), melodrama and a musical and yet like all gay films it's meant to exercise tolerance and expose certain social issues, though in a very unobtrusive way. I really love the atmosphere, the music and the cast. I'm hopelessly hooked on the soundtrack. Pretty much all of it. And I'm totally in love with Tanner Cohen's voice. Singing in The Guts does him no justice. Tanner is not my type, but he has this subtle coy charisma that eventually won me over. I bet the boy has bright future. He's alrady regarded as a new pride of the gay community for coming out right away.



The boys made a lovely couple, imao))
The only thing I wished was that there were more songs from the play. I enjoyed them the most. Who could imagine Shakespeare's words are so fit for a musicle. I'd love to see the full version of the play. That'd be grand. I wish there were more movies like that

Anouk

I never really had a favourite female artist. Sure there were some that I liked and respected, but they meant nothing compared to my male heroes. But now if I had to choose one it would be Anouk. Come to think of it, she's the first female artist I remember liking. Her Nobody's Wife came out when I was 11 and I loved it, but it was only a couple of years ago that I came across Together Alone and only months ago that I finally dowloaded all 7 albums. From ballads to powerful rock anthems... I love it all.

She's strong, talented, beautiful and a little bit crazy. Perfect. Powerful vocals full of soul, making my heart break a little each and every time. Currently nobody's wife, though a mother to three children. I'm so in love with that woman. I even forgive her those hideous golden front teeth she used to have back in the 90's. Her music always gives me strength when I'm down. She's my Dutch Rock Queen.

I was turning a blind eye to it for years now. Unlike most I thought Diabolos was a good album, despite the voice change and all. I love Redemption and think Returner is pretty cool even though I see it as Mind Forest remake. Ghost wasn't that exciting, but I was still hoping it's just a one-time thing. But now, having watched a live for Koakuma Heaven I believe it's time to face it: Gackt has a mid-life crisis. And here I thought androids aren't supposed to have one. The song sucks and there's no way around it. My Father's Day is touching and all (though why men are so desperately looking for a father's figure is beyond me), but as a song it's just not.. exciting. And while Lost angels isn't bad, it sounds like Todokanai ai... rip-off, and Oblivious strongly reminds of Last Song.
If that's not enough evidence one can take a look at this:

***

Don't get me wrong, I still love him. Always will. But it's just.. not the same anymore. I really do hope I am wrong.

While I'm at it I should also mention VAMPS. I never even liked the band to begin with, it seems Hyde made it just to slack off. But what made me cringe a few days back was this message they recorded for US fans. Big mistake. I was trying to overcome my embarrasement to just watch it. I understand the Japanese have a hard time with English, but to be on stage for 20 years and not be able to read a few simple lines is just...

This is the ultimate end of my J-Rock era.

I found biology inherently boring up until high school. Then we began to study the human body and I got excited. My grades rapidly went up and I got 12 at the final exam. I was even contemplating further studies, but I know becoming a doctor does not appeal to me at all. What is that about?

A couple of days ago I finished watching the last of BBC documentaries: the Human Body, the Human Mind, the Human Instincts, the Human Senses and the Human Face. All the excitement of thoses days came back to me. I think human body is one of the most amazing things in the world. There are so many facts to ponder.
How every cell works for its own purpose to create one organism, how our body completely regenerates about every 6 years, except the brain and how much it takes to just be alive. These things make me appreciate life more.

Also I feel good knowing I haven't completely stopped my intellectual development.

Got results for my last Japanese test today. My dream of getting 100 points finally succeded. I got 110. Out of 120 that is. I got all the crucial parts right, just some stupid mistakes like always. I actually missed a 'desu', dammit. But I'm very happy with myself. I really worked hard for this. A year isn't much, but it's a start. There's still a ceremony in two weeks. But we celebrated a bit. Went for beer with our sensei. It was kind of awkward and I'm not a sociable person, but I still want to get to know my group a little better. It's been 8 months and I don't even know half of them by name. Chatted a bit about this and that. It wasn't all that great, cold and uncomfortable and I barely said a few words, but somehow... I ran half the way home feeling so high, so acheived, so... happy.
