Okay I just finished watching part one of this SyFy mini... and WTF?

( Spoilers~ )

My god sometimes people are so bloody PC they are stupid.

The Hawaiian studies professor would actually prefer NO ONE give a crap about Hawaiian history than to let movie producers glamorize it a bit to get people's interest? Every country's history has had movies made where history was slightly altered for the story's sake... but if it can make more people actually interested in learning about the real history, then why throw a huge fit? The people who will walk away believing it to be 100% true are the people who would have never cared about Hawaiian history or any history in the first place. So, knowing an inaccurate history is better than knowing none at all.

And the protesting over the title just make me gape in wonder about how dense people are. The title "Barbarian Princess" in no way is calling her a barbarian. By protesting that title they are trying to sweep history under the rug since that is what the press called her in the era. The point of the title is to show that the "Barbarian Princess" is actually poised, graceful, and ladylike while the Americans are monsters who are the true "barbarians." So, it's not an insult you fools.

This week somehow... don't ask me how it happened because I really don't know, my mobile screen cracked and turned black. It's not even that old. And I got that one because my old one died a watery death... It seems my phones are doomed to tragic deaths lately.

So anyway, I called my dad and he took me to replace the mobile after class... only they no longer sold that phone. I had to pic a new one out. As we were looking at phones he asked what features I NEEDED. I said it only needed a camera and a way to get the pictures off. i found one that was pretty similar to my dead one with a 2 megapixels and a miniSD slot. But Dad spoils me and asked me why not get the 8 megapixel camera that happens to make phone calls. lol

And that is just a preamble to the photos of this weeks dishes at school... XD


Sous vide and fried pork = super fat bacon coma.

I just beat Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (game 2 in the Layton series). For those who don't know, Professor Layton is a Nintendo DS series originating from Japan. The concept is, a British Professor and his young apprentice wander around solving gigantic mysteries and mini puzzles in the process. It's mostly a puzzle and riddle game. But wait, let that sink in a moment... British characters... voiced by the Japanese...

And not just any voice actors, unlike the American versions, Professor Layton is baited with some pretty big name Japanese actors doing the voices. For example Oizumi Yo does the voice of Layton while Horikita Maki is young Luke (I say young Luke because game 3, which is not out in America yet, has older Luke voiced by Oguri Shun.) and Kamikawa Takaya does a character in game 3 too. And that's just a few of them.

It kills me that it takes America so long to translate games sometimes. Japan is getting game 4 this holiday season and there is no clues about when America will get game 3... but since game 2 came out recently I expect it wont be very soon.

I do find it hilarious though that the Layton series seems to think it's Star Wars. The first game was actually part 4 of the story. The new game getting released in Japan in November will be part 1. So it went 4-6 and they will now do 1-3.

Oh and some more awesomeness from Japan... Following the games November release, just before Christmas they are also releasing Professor Layton and The Eternal Diva... the first Layton animated movie.

Trailer 1
( More trailers... )

When love is so strong that it becomes stifling,
Would you escape or confront it?
The most touching, dreamlike love of the century.

And to liven up my mood and my LJ... Summer's Bubbles promos!... or I guess they are now calling it Summer's Desire. Though... given the plot... this is only a small step up in happiness. lol Angst and drama and a serious love triangle... this drama is looking better and better. Peter's character seems like suuuuch a moody arrogant asshole ♥~ He's looking mighty fine too. And Xiao Ming... words can not express his deliciousness. Barbie and Xiao Ming actually look quite cute together.

God I hope this is one of those shows that makes it really hard to predict how it will end and who she will choose. I foresee someone dieing though. lol

*I refuse to post pictures and/or videos for this post since I'm sure everyone reading this is already attacked by a dozen Heart-breaker icons a day and have seen such media on their friend's page at least five times already.*

So, it's nothing new that G-Dragon loves the in-your-face sexuality. "I love sex" buttons and naked girl t-shirts are a common occurrence for him so I don't really pay much attention to it anymore.

But sweet baby Jesus... his solo CD makes me feel dirty.

Is there a song on that CD NOT about sex? Seriously.
It's not even subtle anymore. If you want super blunt sexual references... look no further. Breathe doesn't even try to spin it with poetic words, rather things like... "I know you want it baby," "You and me hardcore," "Til you say no more," "Let's do it some more." And that's just the English parts. The Korean parts aren't really any more wholesome. "Hello" teaches how to pick up chicks. And OMG I don't even no where to start with the metaphors in the "Heart-breaker" MV.

So many metaphors my brain nearly exploded. In case anyone missed it. The albums logo, the apple, sexual reference right there. The setting of the MV was a futuristic looking Garden of Eden and GD is lounging about under the tree being all heathenish and eating apples... which are a thinly veiled metaphor for women, and their *cough* forbidden fruit. Walls of apples with bites taken out of them? Not hard to see the meaning there. You could sort of call him romantic, what with the pining for the one apple that got away. But that kind of gets ruined by the boob cuddling and the horribly graphic sheet symbolism. I think the sheet was that part that was too much really. It was just one step too far.

While I sound really negative... this is actually why I adore G-Dragon. The insane outfits and the blunt honest male sexuality is what makes him appealing. Otherwise he'd just be another average-ish guy who raps. I think he's aware that he can't put up much of a fight against the "pretty boys" who fill pop-culture, so he draws attention with wacky behavior, gossip, and weird wardrobe phases. It makes him interesting... like a clown... lol

And growing fast.
After a few weeks of work... 26 profiles is a bitch to do really... the comm was finally ready to officially open last night.
Resie and I are still working to upload the piles of goodies we actually have, which is a lot.
But we are open for business now.

Get all the My Hero boys love at jiayou_myhero !! :P

Technically it's not your birthday for me yet.  But since you are from the future I figure I should celebrate your your birthday and not my your birthday.

So... your wish is my command...


Actually... I've been planning this post and your present for almost a week.
You have no idea how hard I was laughing last night when you said you wanted Feng for your birthday and I knew that's what I was giving you already... in a double dose. lol

Your present.

Enjoy. :P

*Cough* I refuse to explain WHY I'm doing this because it's a story in which I am very stupid... but I'm sure Resie will still enjoy mocking me as well as the yummy spam.

BOBO are spokesmen for OPPO, an electronics company *duh*, right now.



( Moooore... )

Happiness is Definitely Strong (幸福一定强 xing fu yi ding qiang) productions shots!

Their are also shots of Ming Dao outside the hospital they were filming at but they are super blurry and grainy so I don't want to stare them. :P  Plus, while I adore Ming Dao, he's handsome, cool, and charming while still able to act like a cute little kid, it's no longer very thrilling to me when I hear news of him being in a new drama.  He's in a looot of shows and this year alone... wow.  But the draw of "Happiness" for me is... It's Li Yi Feng first major role and I have grown quite fond of Annie Chen.  Despite being very new to acting, Annie has had some surprisingly great scenes in "Prince + Princess 2."  She has a very raw emotional expression that just made my heart ache for her character and made me cry.  So, I am looking forward to what she does with a new role.

On to the Feng shots!  Yummy glasses... he's looking quite handsome.

... and make me feel bloated.

My wonder twin is truly evil sometimes. I think she uses her future powers against me on purpose. She waits until I go to bed to put together massive Yi Feng picspam so that while casually browsing my friends page in the morning I get a lung full of hot minty liquid.

( On to the drama related news bits... )

Jarvis made a new post on his blog today.
All I can say is... "What...?" *hides behind the couch scared.*

I found this rather funny.

I had downloaded the Chinese Paladin 3 OST a few days ago. I've been reading about it for weeks so I knew it was an interesting collection of artists. However, I hadn't actually listened to it fully until this morning.  I had my iPod on shuffle and suddenly this song comes on. The opening rift sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. I knew it was something Japanese and I felt like it was the opening song to a TV show, but I couldn't recall what show so I looked down to read 我做我的王 by 兄弟联 from 仙剑奇侠传三. That's not Japanese. Is it a rip off... on the Chinese Paladin 3 CD?

And then they started signing and I started laughing.

GOGOCLUB - Be My Own King (Wo zuo wo de wang)

Not a rip off. A cover. A cover of what...? Why super cute chibi detectives of course. Apparently GOGOCLUB did a cover of Answer by the Japanese band FLOW, which was the opening song for the show Tantei Gakuen Q.

The original.

So the question is... which version is better? lol

 I also find it a little funny that this song is on a wuxia OST.  Even if Chinese Paladin is not your typical wuxia.

I had writen up this huge ass rant a few days ago but LJ ate it so this is my less ranty rant... lol
