(no subject)

I'm watching Buzzer Beat 4, and while I've always loved Naoki (he's a bit vanilla, but totally sweet), he just endeared himself to me totally.

Naoki is going to visit Natsuki, and hears her screaming. He rushes in to find her freaking out over a bug that got inside. SO HE GENTLY REMOVES THE BEETLE FROM THE DRAPES, AND BRINGS IT OUTSIDE TO LET IT GO.


I don't kill insects. Anyone who would rather save a bug than kill it is a friend of mine ;P

(I attempt a Buddhist standpoint, that all life, regardless of size, is of value. I don't kill insects, I don't unnecessarily uproot plants, I try to respect all life. My religion professor once told me a story of one of her students who spent time in a Buddhist monastery, and had to refrain from swatting mosquitoes. I thought that amazing (thought not very smart, in general, what with all the diseases they carry in the subtropics), and sought to mimic those views in my own life. I'm not Buddhist, but I sometimes wish I were.)

I still don't understand people who are afraid of insects. I probably never will. But who am I to judge, I'm terrified of whales.

Taiwanese celebrity baby pictures threaten to explode my ovaries

I've been meaning to write this entry for awhile, actually. Awhile back I stumbled on a bunch of Chinese celebrity baby/childhood pictures. It was AWESOME. I love baby pictures.

Anyway, they're all Taiwanese (save 2), and all adorable!

( The Girls! (Jolin a geek?! Rainie with a mushroom haircut?!) )

( The Guys! (Including possibly the worst picture of Will Pan EVAR, and Wu Zun looking like a chick) )

And because it wouldn't be fun without it...
( My own baby picture! )

All of the pictures (save mine, of course) are from Cfensi

Inkigayo's Girl Group special

I know I just posted, but I'm feeling productive today. Plus this had to be shared.

FIRST OFF! GD posted a small bit of one of the songs off his solo album!!! *freaks out because it's amazing as per usual* SO CAN'T WAIT!

Last night/this morning (time difference, you know) on SBS Inkigayo, they had a girl group special. It ended up being different than what I expected, but no matter. You guys remember this video where members of SHINee, SuJu, 2AM, and 2PM sung Gee? Well, SBS Inkigayo wasn't going to let Music Bank have all the fun, so they did their own.

So here's a bunch of guys singing SNSD's "Tell Me Your Wish". Key and Tae Min from SHINee (I admit, I don't know either of them), Taec Yeon and Woo Young from 2PM, and MC Mong (surprise guest!!!). The best part, THEY KEPT THE CHOREOGRAPHY. With the leg tricks and everything.

Sometimes I wonder about the SHINee boys. They're so small and delicate, and apparently really good at imitating SNSD... Are they Jpop idols in disguise?! Taec Yeon was hilarious to watch, because he's REALLY tall and just big. Poor thing was probably like "... wtf have I gotten myself into?!". I did like his sailor hat with the pink ribbons on it. Mc Mong was great too, because it's so random and odd, and just COOL.

They also had a special stage where 2NE1 sang "Last Farewell", which is a Big Bang song. I was a little iffy on this one, because while I adore 2NE1, they can't compare to BB in my mind. But I'm glad it turned out REALLY well. I attribute that to Park Bom singing a lot on the song (her voice fits electronica really well) and CL's perfect rendition of GD's rap. I love the attitude the girls were giving (THANK YOU for bringing back the cool ass Park Bom!), and it just came out really well.

And 2NE1 won this week, which means they got a Mutizen Triple Crown!! Yay for them!!
