Bonnie Pink with Yuka Honda - Manic Monday (m4a format)

(Courtesy of insaneneko who also upped the version of "Manatsu no kajitsu" from the same album.)

Today I trump even the narrator of the song as I nearly fainted between the elevator and the front door of the office and had to sit down on the floor right there for about 30 seconds. Damned fallopian tubes, what's the use? Of course as soon as it passed it passed and I was fine. I think I need a refresher on my first aid certificate as I knew nigglingly that there was a position you were supposed to take if you were going to pass out but couldn't remember what. =_=

I've come close to passing out half a dozen times in my life but never actually lost consciousness. I fight it too hard. ^^;

Got up relatively early on Sunday but didn't accomplish much of anything, let alone all the writing I wanted to get done. Instead I watched the Rogers Cup final with Rafael Nadal vs. Andre Agassi (having now some interest in the outcome XD). It was a really awesome match, especially the second set. Considered catching up on the PoT manga afterward but decided not to chance it. Then I read about 100 pages of Mirage of Blaze 23; the book contains more coke than a Columbian warlord's warehouse.

Last night I dreamt I was running around Shikoku trying to find a mystery player on the ATP circuit but kept arriving late after the event was over. =___=

I am also reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. I'm 150 pages in. It's a wonder I haven't started talking in the book's narrative voice yet. XD

EDIT -- file under "I may be on crack but so is my entire country": Kuwabara Mizuna owns Kuukai Kitty.

EDIT 2 -- The entire Shikoku Hello Kitty series. St00pid Red Whales fic, here I come~

...! You are okay, now? I've never fainted before or even came close, but I suspect the first time I decide/am able to give blood (I finally reached the age this year, but um, still haven't made the weight requirement), I'll faint like a daisy in storm. :x

Thanks for the song! Bonnie Pink has a really sweet voice, I hadn't even heard of her doing anything after Kenshin. :) I hope you feel better!

trivia: manatsu no kajitsu was remixed into tagalog by a girl singer. it was pretty nifty. i bet it's been remixed a lot of times, and in a lot of languages, too.

Song is nifty! Although I half-wish it were in Japanese. Hehe.

I fainted during a movie once, because of the movie. It was Mississippi Burning. /random

The trick was:

1- Use Winamp to convert to WAV (change output plugin to Disk-Writer plugin)
2- Use CDex to convert to MP3

Haven't got to "Manic Monday" yet as am too busy listening to "Manatsu no Kajitsu" cover and emoting all over the floor. :O ;_; <3 Thank you so much for link.

p.s. I'd never been to http://swedesplease.blogspot.com/ before this weekend, but the Ana Laan tracks up there are the shiznit. Thought you might like.

I thought you'd like these. :D I'm considering getting the album. Bonnie Pink sings Hedwig! Bonnie Pink sings Aimee Mann! Bonnie Pink sings the Pretenders! etc.

Ooh, thanks for the rec.

My secret weakness are those regionalized Hello Kitties. Harajuku kitty! AND, LOOK, THE HATO-BUS KITTY. :D *coos*

...I hate you.

I have a Hanshin Tigers Hello Kitty washcloth - and a Kyuushuu one - should upload photos of them. XD

[bell]

Yes, if only so that I may find out what, precisely, is a Hanshin Tigers Hello Kitty. Get the Kyushuu one to dry itself off with the washcloth. >D

(one has to ask, though: when will they run out of ideas?)
