This article irritated me.
2NE1 Behind the Makeup

Irritation first, because they look perfectly normal, and netizens are being unnecessarily cruel. People expect stars to be flawless gods, and they're not. It seems Asia, Korea in particular, is obsessed with looks. Not that America isn't, of course, but I think cosmetic surgery is more popular in Asia. Not that there's anything wrong with plastic surgery, but it's unfortunate when you have to get cosmetic surgery to obtain professional respect.
But that's a rant for another day...

Personally, I think they all look fine, but REALLY tired. I admit, CL's picture surprised me, but I think it's just a bad picture of her. I personally think Park Bom is the prettiest, but I obviously have a bias.

ALSO! Apparently GD's album is going to be released on 18Aug09, his 21st birthday (22nd in Korea)! That is ALSO the day I leave for Taiwan (it's weird though... my flight leaves at 2am, and arrives in Taiwan at 6am THE NEXT DAY. Time travel). So overall it will be a good day! I'll be able to buy GD's album almost right away when I get to Asia. Maybe he'll even come over to Taiwan for some promotion (unlikely, but I can always hope), and I can fangirl him UNTO ETERNITY.

Lastly, earlier this week YG announced a series of YG TV, which will be kinda like behind the scenes, web diaries (I think...) of several YG artists (BB, 2NE1, Gummy, Se7en, and Teddy seem to be featured). I THINK BB's and 2NE1's episodes have aired, but I haven't seen them yet (I was messed up with the schedule).

Oh, and I found this gif care of GDCL on soompi, and loved it! GD = awesome.

I am typing this on my brand new, AWESOME, extremely large (for some reason) laptop! YAYS!

I bought the Dell Studio 15, and enhanced it with the things I deemed important. That being a higher definition screen (for drama viewings), and a better wireless card (for drama downloads)... Obviously I have issues.

Now, of course, I have to download shitloads of programs to it. Stuff like VLC, WMC, GOMPlayer, 8 million codecs, ETC. *sigh* This is going to take awhile. LUCKILY we have a lovely lovely 3 day weekend because of Independence day.

Did I mention the computer is huge, because it is. HUGE. I don't like tiny laptops, but I wasn't expecting it to be so big. I like the size, but it doesn't fit into any of my computer bags!

Okay, actual post this time!

Ariel Lin's new MV has been released.

It stars two members of Super Junior, Siwon (aka the one in SuJu I can recognize who is not ShinDong), and DongHae.

The MV is adorable, and Ariel's voice is heavenly. The boys do a good job, especially DongHae. The MV actually kinda made me sad. Ariel's MVs always kinda make me sad... Lonely Northern Hemisphere makes me sad because it's from Love Contract, and everything related to LC makes me sad. Course Lu Ni Ya Zhan Ji doesn't make me sad, but I'm not going to include that one...

Some really cute things from the MV; in the beginning Ariel starts singing Sorry Sorry!! The boys speak in Korean throughout, and it's subtitled in Chinese, which is AWESOME.

I can't wait to get her album!

ALSO I got the Big Bang My Heaven single album from Japan yesterday. I'll take pictures at some point. But for now, enjoy a HQ picture of GD from the MV!
