my head just exploded

I
just....I can't understand this - or more truthfully, I don't want to

I've been pretty radio-silent about my political beliefs on this LJ, except
for the rare instances. And I admit, in the past, I've just been down right
apathetic - I vote about 50% of the time on local issues, and 75% on
national issues (I've voted in all the past presidential elections), and
I'll definitely be sending in my absentee ballot this year. Why? Because
this is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife, this is not
my beautiful country. And I *do* care about the issues.

the weekend

Sweet Rain Shinigami no Seido (AKA: Accuracy of Death) is up, with subs. Thank you, birthday gods (and generous fans)

Fan-created English soft subs are finally out for Maki and Tatsuya Fujiwara's war & romance SP, "Tokyo Daikushu"

Fuji put up a skeleton of the official site for Maki's Innocent Love

Proper scans for Shinkansen & Love, featuring Maki & Meisa should up be this weekend (but here are some pictures of Maki's shoot)

I also have some older scans of other j-drama actors up (helllllooo, Yuuta)

I'm caught up with all the hardsubbed episodes of Yasuko to Kenji, and have two episodes of Seigi no Mikata to watch. Then, finally, a Shibatora marathon (one of the better jdramas that no one is watching this season).

Tomorrow I go out for Indian food and beauty things and karaoke with the posse.
