I made it through another workshop this last Monday, in my Creative Writing: Fiction class. I just have to take a deep breath, and remember the purpose of the workshopping process is not to make me want to kill myself XD. I think I'll miss this class once the semester is done, actually. I've never encountered a better place for truly helpful feedback (most of the time, anyway... I can name a couple people in that class that I ignore their comments -.o; ).

Lately, when people ask me how my semester is going... I tell them my semester is like in the movies, when a plane is coming in for a landing, and the wings and wheels snap off, and the plane drags across the landing strip, leaving fire trails. WHETHER I EXPLODE AT THE END IS TBA. *shrugs* Just gotta keep chuggin', or something... Go go go! Almost over, I can maaaake it...

I got to watch the final episode of the jdrama Life today ^__^. THAT SHOW IS SO PSYCHO. It was a great ending.

I think it'll take me awhile to forget the ultimate freakiness that is Sako-kun, too XD. I never had so much fun hating a character, I think. Just so I'm not the only one who has to have his super cool facial expressions emblazoned into my brain, here's a picture <3.


_{Sako-kun luvz u!}

If that doesn't convince everyone to go watch Life, I don't know what will XD.

Somehow, it seems that Oguri Shun has managed to reach new heights of awesomeness XD.


Being alive really is overrated, after all.

( YOOO~SH! )

This new drama, Binbo Danshi, was actually really good. The first episode warmed my heart, and yet had me cackling quite often throughout it XD. Oguri plays a college kid who has such a big heart, that he tries to solve everyone's problems... he eventually gets into $10,000 worth of debt, and from there, his debt multiplies by 10, but he will solve his problems somehow, because he is so full of LIFE and LOVE! Yosh!

I'll keep watching the drama, just to see more of his ridiculous facial expressions, I think XD. *encourages everyone to watch it too*

I know I made no post about the first episode of Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (HanaKimi), but the second episode was so amusing that I had to go ahead and make a post XD. I may retread the amusing parts of the first episode later. *nodnod*

Anyway, yes, I wasn't sure whether or not I really liked Oguri Shun's character, Sano, that much... until his deep, dark secret was exposed, anyway XD.

( lj-cut for an absurd amount of screencaps )

I just watched the first episode of a j-drama called Ikebukuro West Gate Park. I feel so homesick for Ikebukuro now ;_;. I'LL BE BACK ONE DAY! WAIT FOR ME, IKEBUKURO! I recognized so many places that they were at in the show, which made me happy... so when I get to pining too much (which happens too often >.>; ), I suppose I can watch this show to ease my sadness ^^;.

Nagase Tomoya and Yamashita Tomohisa are main characters in the show too, so that made it even more fun to watch XD. I couldn't believe it when Yamashita's character stole the giant stone owl statue that's in the train station, using a wheel barrel. HOW? Too funny XD.


Nagase Tomoya sez: "Sometimes hats speak louder than words." Or maybe "Hats say more than people do." But actually, Nagase Tomoya has no idea what his hat says XD;. I thought it was pretty funny, though.

His hat says "The Reason Talk is So Cheap is That the Supply FAR Exceeds the Demand," if the screencap was too blurry for anyone to read XD. I love random articles of clothing (usually with annoying, semi-witty phrases printed on them) that somehow start out in strange American stores, and end up on Japanese television XDD.
