Apr. 9th, 2009 12:03 amLOST is awesome. I'm too tired to write more, but wow. I love that show. And I love Ben.
Someone was fired from my group at work today. Which will make my life THAT much more difficult. Because, in general, I kinda dislike my coworkers. Despite that, I AM one of them. But I'm also the closest with my boss. So I'm kinda stuck between them. I liked the guy who got fired well enough, but I also know why she fired him.
Work politics are so confusing, and tiring. It's like being in high school again. You'd think people would grow up. But no. They don't. Sometimes I think I'm the only person who sees it for what it is; a job, not a social network. And I really think they owe more respect to our boss. She's the one we work for, not the best idea to distance her.
Anyway, job-life's going to be difficult for a while.
I was going to watched another episode of Utahime today, but of course the copy I had was corrupted, so I had to download it again.
But I DID get another of my YesAsia shipments, oddly enough the one that shipped last; the TOKIO album. I didn't take pictures yet. It's cute, because I bought the Korean version (it was about half the price as the normal Japanese version), and it came with a booklet of the lyrics translated into Korean. I TOTALLY have a Japanese release Big Bang album where there's a booklet with the lyrics translated into Japanese. Maybe tomorrow I'll finally get one of the other shipments.
I also just downloaded a shitload of ipod applications, including several Chinese character (traditional) / Mandarin ones. And one that shows you pictures of Chinese food. Mmmmm Chinese food. I basically only eat two things (I'm not kidding); soydogs, and Chinese style tofu stir fry.
I should sleep. Maybe.
Oh! Random quick Big Bang stuff. First off, Lollipop was featured on PEREZ HILTON! I kinda love how he's into K-Pop. Link here. Seriously, DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS. Most people are racists assholes, so it's not worth it. But he got it wrong. He said it was 2NE1's single FEATURING Big Bang. It's not. If anything it's Big Bang's single feat 2NE1.
Also, a teaser for the new w-inds / GD song has been released. So exciting! I might preorder after all. But which to get... there are three versions.

Date: 2009-04-09 12:37 pm (UTC)I'm glad Penny, Desmond, and little Charlie are OK. I was fearing the worst with that, so I'm very relieved. Everyone else on this show can kick it as long as they live to the end.
SO EXCITED for next week. I've been wanting to know more about Miles since he was first introduced.

Date: 2009-04-09 01:18 pm (UTC)I had hoped Ben didn't kill Penny (or if he did, she kicked his ass beforehand), so I'm really glad they're okay too. I love Desmond a ton, he totally need to come back o the show as a regular!
Me too! He's so awesome, and kinda creepy, and just LOVE. I still think he's the Darma Initiative doctor-guy's son...

Date: 2009-04-09 11:25 pm (UTC)Haha I love how w-inds. are all Kpop-ed out for the PV. Keita's hair is so SHORT though!

Date: 2009-04-09 11:31 pm (UTC)I bought Harvest. I was going to buy sugar, and might still, but it's all sort comparatively, so I went with the other one.
Are they?! I (obviously) can't tell... That's cute!! GD looks normal (pink pleather pants and all...). Oh! Question; at ):46, is YB speaking Japanese? I know he does speak Japanese, and for some reason I can't tell if he is or not there. (!! I love how they pronounce "falling"!)
no subject
Date: 2009-04-09 11:38 pm (UTC)Yeah, sugar is waaay too short to, like, buy (dude). But I LOOOOOVE Harvest. "Cadence" is one of my favorite TOKIO songs ever. Another good TOKIO album is "ACT II" (it's my favorite! ..not that I bought it or anything). *listens to Harvest*
Well that's definitely not how they normally dress!
Nope, that's Korean.

Date: 2009-04-09 11:42 pm (UTC)It's really cool for it to be featured! I think he could have picked a better Big Bang song to feature, but it's apparent he doesn't even really understand who they are (seeing as how he thinks it's a new single by 2NE1 lol.) I'm always amazed by people's inability to just READ stuff or look up stuff on youtube or basic internet pages. I posted a video to something on my facebook and someone was like "oh do you have the link for the show?" It's just like, wtf youtube has a related box you know, use it lol.
omg W-inds x G.Dragon!!XD
At least they are letting someone who can actually rap, rap now for a w-inds song.
Man I used to love w-inds, then they got boring. Mostly because Keita's voice got bad and the other two NEVER get to sing now :/ They don't even get to rap anymore, it's so sad. They are basically like backup singer/dancers. Is it a coincidence that they also dance way better than Keita? I'm not hating on Keita, but whoever is behind it *shakes fist*. (random crap, Ryuuichi looks GREAT *_*! Holy hell Keita's blond hair looks like SHIT!) Sorry to go on a tangent about w-inds XD

Date: 2009-04-09 11:45 pm (UTC)Hehehe! I'm so used to Big Bang (who are hilariously flashy) that stuff like that seems normal now (seriously, the pink pleather pants; normal day wear for GD. NOT KIDDING)
I thought so, but I was like "Why would he be speaking Korean to a JAPANESE tv show if he spoke the language?!" so it confused me...
no subject
Date: 2009-04-09 11:49 pm (UTC)But older stuff isn't necessarily well seeded. If it's something I have, I can send/upload!
I don't know! Maybe they were also filming for Korean TV, so he spoke in Korean with the Korean fans in mind?

Date: 2009-04-09 11:52 pm (UTC)Perez posted SR's "Strong Baby" vid before, along with several other Kpop artist. It's amusing to me that he likes Kpop. But yeah, he could have picked a lot of other, better songs. I think it's probably because Lollipop is like, the number 1 song in Korea right now. I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT TOO! It's like, wtf?! GOOGLE!
I don't know w-inds at all (except the name, really), but I REALLY like the preview of the song. Maybe this will make a fan out of me :D
Lisa was telling me much the same thing, how one guy sings, and the others just sit around. Now I have to find out who they are, and watch it again to understand your comments on their appearances! (I'll probably like the blonde hair. I have a thing for blondes...)

Date: 2009-04-09 11:57 pm (UTC)But the others were speaking Japanese... I don't know, he probably just was like "I don't feel like speaking japanese today!"...

Date: 2009-04-10 12:07 am (UTC)But..they're Japanese..
no subject
Date: 2009-04-10 12:09 am (UTC)Yeah, which is why I think it's a Japanese show...
no subject
Date: 2009-04-10 12:16 am (UTC)No, it's totally a Japanese show, I know that. What I was saying was, maybe they were ALSO filming with plans to air the footage in Korea as well.

Date: 2009-04-10 12:19 am (UTC)Ahhhhhh. I get it now.

Date: 2009-04-13 03:28 pm (UTC)I think that's true. It's not like Americans for ex. don't have thoughts like that about other ethnic people :/
The tallest of the three w-inds. members is Keita (talking at 0:51). The short dark haired one (who talks just before Big Bang starts talking at 0:42) is Ryuichi. The last one, Ryohei, doesn't talk.
