Four out of five ain't bad, maybe

[petronia]

1) I figure I can manage three at worst and four at best of the following:

• School and part-time work
• Editing SSBB
• Having a life offline
• Having a life online (i.e. blogging and commenting)
• Writing

The first two items are not really negotiable, and Writing has kind of been getting the shaft this whole year, so the other two will probably, ah, see a drop. ^^; Fair warning and all that.

2) Happy birfday to moderntime, and happy incredibly belated birfday to jantalaimon. XD;;

3) Every day in every way, JoJo parodies on Youtube keep getting better and better and better. This is a fandom with too much free time on its hands and not afraid to use it. (Of course the same people will up stuff for other fandoms, such as this. Where is that song from btw, it's... not bad. XD;;;)

4) I finished watching the second half of Nobuta wo Produce last night - or rather this morning - after having come to the conclusion that an all-night marathon was the only way I was going to make time for it. Not the fault of the show, which is just as enjoyable and brilliantly written as everyone says it is (and only 10 x 45min episodes). The script is fresh, deftly characterized, and humane, and makes the direction and acting that much better. And magic realism! There's a lot else that could be said about it but I'd have to take each episode apart. XD Would foist on people in RL but I'd have to find direct downloads of a subbed version, or better yet a batch torrent. Or maybe just watch it with French subtitles on Youtube. XD

(I hold "Seishun Amigo" in high enough regard that I'd use it as a ringtone, which is saying a lot. My phone doesn't even do MP3 ringtones. XD; Does anyone know how to get a MIDI or whatever version?)

5) Also watched some anime with T: 2 episodes of Black Lagoon, and... 6 episodes of Texhnolyze. IT'S THE MILLION-DOLLAR MUSKRAT!!! I had to get that off my chest.

6) Patrick Wolf on October 5! ...I forgot to write a review of the Bebel Gilberto concert, didn't I. ^^; Pics to come shortly.

i think i gave up having a life online for having a life offline as i found it too difficult to have both. have no regrets, though!
second on your list could be negotiable though; maybe recruit for coeditors and such?
ive been hearing about nobuta wo produce for ages and need to get around to watching it but im so loathe to download things these days with my sloooooow connection- damn i should have just bought a totally illegal copy in taiwan. seishun amigo terrifies me YET i still listen to it occasionally when i exercise.

re: no.3, it's Ohkawa Touru and an official image song. XD~ (oh god I died, especially when Hughes joined in)

1) My laptop came yesterday (hurrah!) so I'm going to spend the weekend figuring out how to set up a wireless network and get online -- or just go hang out at the library. When you need help with BB, let me know ^__^

[bell]

the other two will probably

You gotta do whatcha gotta do. :D

Re; Seishun Amigo: I've gone from being mildly irritated at the song to being PLAY IT ALL THE TIME, BABY. >3

If potential watchers have VLC, they can download it from jdramas after they join with softsubs.

(I'm glad I'm not the only one who was enraptured with Seishun Amigo. I have very little regard for JE music, but I honestly believe that this is the only single for which the Oricon numbers aren't exaggerated.)

I see one_if_by_land beat me to it, but yes. Resources exist for those who wish to spread the love of Nobuta wo Produce, which is well worth the trouble indeed. I really love that show. (...besides our favourite trio, there's Delphine! Catherine! THE TRUTH MAN. *hearts*)

See you around~

(And, oh god, THAT'S DIO in the second video. For a second I couldn't tell. -_-;)

Those Jojo videos are.... somewhat terrifying but in a totally awesome way! XDDDDD

Actually I think JE is like... well, the last time I heard something like this said was re Ozzy Osbourne on the Last Plane to Jakarta blog. XD But I think JE's output (being more like throughput) is a lot of wheat and chaff mixed up, and chronological distance separates one from the other. Some SMAP and Kinki Kids numbers now seem like stone cold classics, and there are Arashi and Tackey & Tsubasa songs that are getting there. Probably in a decade I'll come across a random video of generation-after-next Jrs. covering Seishun Amigo and be, like, crying from nostalgia. XD

It is coming! XD Just that nowadays the long entries get written in bits and pieces and take days.

...What is a .kon file? XD;

[petronia.livejournal.com]

I... thought it might be something like that. XD
