Oh so unmotivated. The LJ content strike happened and I never really picked back up, thus proving that I only want LJ when I can't have it, and the moment it returns, I go back to being unmotivated about it. Brilliant.

I think my Mum and some friends (and even the man in question) are encouraging my conspiracy theories/paranoia/tinfoil hat moments a little too much. But tonight, this was just ridiculous.

Anyone who has been following Sakura's blog surely remembers that bit about the weird clapping in the park he used to rehearse at, right? Aliens or ghosts or what the heck ever he thought it was, I swore mine updated about it, too. I SWORE. I remembered it. I remembered people calling him insane. But nobody remembered it but me! And my Mum, which at least gave me the motivation to find the Japanese post again.

I could have typed it from memory for the mostpart, remembering how it was phrased, and just as I hit the part about the lights and the wind, my nose started running. My first thought was HUH, hayfever's bad, so I wiped my nose on the back of my hand and pressed on. Until I noticed DROPLETS OF BLOOD ON MY SCREEN AND A SMEAR OF BLOOD ON THE BACK OF MY HAND.

It was like turning on a tap, what the hell. A tap that has honest to god never been turned on before. I have never had a blood nose before, and this was like a fountain. It was kind of unpleasant. JUST A LITTLE.

... But the timing, man. The timing. I swore that post was there, it was like I wrote it yesterday. I just couldn't find it. And then... this!

I'm almost afraid to go do the googling I had planned tonight now. WHAT IF I TYPE IN THE KEYWORDS AND MY HAND FALLS OFF OR SOMETHING?

PARANOIA IS TOTAL AWARENESS. ... Don't anybody be surprised if I scare myself into not sleeping with what I'm about to do.

OH GOD.

OHHH GOD.

OHHMMMDFJGFDMGA

ohh.

...ohhhh.

God, I haven't had strawberries in way too long. Ungh. Fruitgasm. But really, it's annoying when the cream gets all stuck to the leaves and you have to suck it off, because leaves don't taste very good and if you start chewing them up they don't go down easy, either.

...

Don't look at me, it's true.

Ahh, it's the little things that can cheer you up so~ I found a live report for the test-No. one-man final and Sakura apparently came out to play for Strawberry Shampoo. Bit late to note it, but not really surprising. That's the only part I'm sure about, though if this is true, the thought of Ryo singing Juice is pretty entertaining. SHAKY SHAKY BODY!

NOW IF MY ADD WOULD GO AWAY, I'D BE HAPPY.

All that lovely hair, 30cm of it! Gone! I think it's a good sign, honestly, even if it's the end for Sakura's record-breaking length (that really didn't sound right).



He lives! At test-No.'s tour final. And makes funny faces of love at us. While wearing a bad hat. And standing next to KoREDS. Who has bad hair. Like Mokkie, wtf?

I only excuse Tetsu from being present because he had a live. OTHERWISE he would have been getting some pissed off sounding mail asking WHY THE LITTLE TYKE was not out seeing his brothers play and hanging with the old one off-side.


Just as a random note... I'm really, really stressed out right now over some personal/family problems. And I guess I'm feeling kinda sensitive, so... just go easy on me with the personal snarking and the teasing. I know it's meant to be in good fun but I can't handle it like I usually would right now, OKAY. (Now I totally have to go listen to You Make Me Touch Your Hands For Stupid Reasons.)

All these Third Stage-sent flyers are kind of a waste on me. I don't know 99.9% of the bands, and the 0.01% I do, I don't like them. Wtf, do people sell these? I have dozens from this time and when I bought all that L'Arc stuff from them like two or three years ago. There's no point in keeping them.

And I wonder what Laser Disc players realistically go for? ... Maybe it's cheaper just to get them put on DVD, too. From what I can tell, the average price is about $20 for the first hour of footage and $10 for each additional hour... but I wouldn't want to send them to some online service without knowing where they're really going and so on. Who the hell thought LDs were a good idea? At least the Beta thing, I can understand from a compact POV, but 30cm video discs? ... Well.

Part of my birthday present, hurhur. Maybe not the wisest choice, but... hey.


I forgot The L Word had started up again properly. 4 episodes in one night later, and I am ALREADY NOT PLEASED.

And yet, I love it and am highly entertained despite Jenny's diva attitude (gaaawd she's started to remind me of Emma during her bitchy, holier than thou moments and that just grates on me even more) and... god, just... so many plotlines that I wish had not taken the turns they have.


For some reason, though, whenever I'm watching it I get struck with all kinds of fun non-AU ideas that aren't even ripped from their scripts. I just get inspired. AND THIS SEASON SO FAR ISN'T EVEN IMPRESSIVE. It's funny. Maybe that's why I can stay tuned into it. I can get hooked on things that most people think are lame/stupid/boring/whatever just because I find some redeeming qualities in them.

Funny how I could never stay interested in Queer as Folk, though. I'm still like, "SNOOORE."


Randomly, because I'm hooked on this, I finally managed to get enough of the lyrics out of the intro song to the Zigzo Night live to find out what it was.



Dad will be very proud of me. I'm not crazy about the more noise-focused side of Pink Floyd, but stuff like this I really get into. I can hear the influence in Zigzo something fierce, and it just amuses me that this song is older than at least 3 out of 4 of the members. Possibly even all four, depending on when it was released in '69. It was cute how Ryo and Den had a little rock out session on their respective stage sides while setting up to this.

Great song.


And another great song?

test-No. - glitter chain


I am seriously, seriously hooked on this, and the way Ryo sings it, the breathy, slightly gravelly texture he uses in the chorus, the echo distortion on the guitar, the mellow, smooth bassline... ughhh, I have to listen to it again. I'm so impressed by their eclectic style. Every mini-album is so different, no label can really fit after all. I GUESS THIS IS WHY THEY'RE CALLED TEST-NO. While I'm not that excited about Kaede's drumming, I like it better than Matarou's and I can't help but wonder what it'd sound like if Kaede had done it. Matarou's always reminded me of the tin soldier. TIN TIN TIN. His drumkit should be called Captain Haddock. I'm not going any further into that.


nil have a new mini-album coming out in March, and it made me all happy to see Tetsu having sold out some of his solo gigs. I hope Lion Heads or SOAP will get their asses moving on something... I mean, within reason. I'd like to see something before the end of the year but it would also be unsurprising if Sakura took it easy. It sounded like the Space Filters gig went well, and apparently the dressing room was filled with dirty jokes, so... not too worried.


ETA: AHHH I know where the familiarity is coming from. Ryo plays a similar riff during Tetsu's guitar solo in Kurayamide Sunglass.
