Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda

1. Don't be alarmed if you randomly get replies to comments you posted a long time ago. I'm trying to go through them and reply, because I hate being such a sucky friend.

2. I'm freaking the fuck out over my imminent schooling. Several of the programs I want to apply to have deadlines in January. And since, for some reason, I assumed the deadlines wouldn't be until April/May, I'm screwed. SCREWED.

I made a list of programs that look interesting. Luckily my first choice isn't due until June. But my second choice (University of Hawaii Tropical Medicine) is January 15th. *cries*

3. I started watching Gloomy Salad Days awhile back, but I don't think I'll continue watching it. It's just... weird. But it made me realize just how long it's been since I've watched a twdrama. Which is bad, because now I'm noticing all the shitty production again. Clearly I need to watch a big budget twdrama, just so I can ease my way into them again.

I'm in an American tv mood right now, but I think I'm going to watch Mawang and Maou. Probably Maou first, since it's shorter. And possibly Yamikin Ushijima-kun because my dearest Taki stars in it. Though he looks HORRIBLE in it (why the facial hair? WHY?!). Almost makes me miss when he looked like a dirty hobo.

Also, surely everyone has seen the preview for the ParaKiss movie by now, right?
I'm dying, DYING to see it. Osamu as George (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Words can not possibly express just how awesome and perfect this is), Keiko as Yukari (I love her so much... not loving the rumors she's dating Osamu. She need to stick to Pi, kay?)... Amazing dream casting. I'm a little less sure of Yusuke as Hiro (not that I don't love him, but it just doesn't seem right to me... I picture someone kinda like Shun... or Kim Bum, randomly), but I guess it'll work out.


Still waiting for a Big Bang comeback. Getting tired of said waiting.

I nearly died laughing!!!! Thanks for the Hana Kimi throwback there, Atadan! I miss this show already (I also weirdly miss Hana Kimi right now).


Also; Big Bang's new Japanese song;

As predicted, episode 7 of Atashinchi no Danshi made me squeal incoherently with glee. I didn't understand it (watched it raw, as per usual), but I loved it!

I love that Sho and Chisato are OTP!

Otherwise I watched AnD episode 6 with subs (yay for understanding!), and took a bunch of caps that I will post later. Because, you know, it's 4am. I took a nap earlier, so that's why I'm up now.

The episode was adorable, and to me, at least, the OTP vibes were super strong. But I think the best part of the episode was the interaction between Masaru and Satoru. I adore every single one of the characters, but Sho, Masaru, and Satoru are my favorites. I'm practically in love with Yamamoto Yusuke and Seto Koji now, which is amusing to me

Ah, what the hell, a few caps!


OTP FTW!


*snort* Oh Masaru and Satoru. I ADORE you!


I freaking love Japan! Golden poo on a stick?! Priceless.


Random gratuitous Osamu, because we all know I need my random gratuitous Osamu fix at least twice a week.

I need more AnD icons...

Okay, so apparently in Atashinchi no Danshi, I ship Chisato / EVERYONE. Seriously. Well, most everyone (I don't ship her and Akira, because that's gross... And I don't ship her and Takeru because that's weird too..)

Of course my OTP is Sho / Chisato, but to be honest I love all of the brothers. Recently I've been especially loving Masaru and Satoru. And both of them are adorably in love with Chisato.


I always knew I was going to love Masaru. How could I resist the blue eyeshadow?! He's just too cute though!


And I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I love Satoru. I seriously though I would never like Seto Koji after Koizora. So yay!!


Still my OTP though. OSAMU!!

( A few more from episode 3 )

It's official. Atashinchi no Danshi is totally my new drama. I love it more than I can possibly put into words. It's so damn crazy but it also has a lot of heart. And the guys... oh the guys. Osamu is the only one I'm ridiculously attracted to (though Kaname Jun isn't bad himself...), but they're all such characters. And Maki is delightful, as per usual.

I'd be lying if I said I was watching solely for the plot though. Because I'm not. A large part of me is watching for Osamu. Mukai Osamu is quickly becoming one of my favorite jdrama actors. He was amazing in Hachimitsu to Clover (which happens to be my favorite jdrama), and I loved him as evil!butler in Mei-chan. I have yet to see him in Nodame Cantabile, but I don't doubt he's awesome there as well. And he's ridiculously, obscenely hot. Plus, he's two years older than me and 10cm taller. Totally a keeper, that one. I have a bunch of caps from the two episodes I've seen (only three have been aired), and almost all of them are of Osamu. It's kinda sad.

I'm dying (DYING) for the next episode. I'm also hoping beyond hope that my OTP is canon. I want Chisato (Maki's character) and Sho (Osamu's character) to get together so badly it hurts. I will seriously be upset if there isn't come form of romance between them, because they're SO CUTE together!

See the adorableness! They bicker! They team up to trick the other brothers! They fight crime! It's SO CUTE!
( A bunch more screencaps from episode 2, kinda spoilery )

Seriously, is the next episode out yet?!
