we are only made of air and dust

So I'm getting over a mild case of OMGWHYDOIFEELSOAWFULANDCRAMPYIWANTTODIEANDORVOMIT, while watching the mercury climb here in Southern California, but a few fevers and nosebleeds aside, I'm almost back to normal.

Have downloaded the subbed version of Smile, will watch it later - I'm going to watch L: Change the World in a few. fivethreerin, I got the little postcard saying that I need to pick up your package at the post office! Which I will be doing so tomorrow, full of DELIGHT and joy.

Also got a surprise tee-shirt from kitsune714, because the hivemind likes to be dressed in snappy tees at all times, naturally.

( some scans/projects I'm working on )

I'm still going through the notes I scribbled down to help me not forget key moments of the Miyavi show (and man, I'm a dork), and I also got his concert DVD (just to see what the full on extravaganza was and what got taken out of the US performances) and anyway, the little concert writeup should post this weekend. However, there's a part that needs a little explanation....


Also, besides the concert DVD, I picked up the recent issue of 25 ans, with Tamaki Hiroshi and Meisa Kuroki on the cover, because HI YOU'RE VERY PRETTY. Also, belated scans from Invitation magazine with evil-sama, Masami, and Abe Hiroshi.

( super prom couple! )

I have also been wasting time on youtube as per usual - there's Abe Hiroshi with a chimp, Abe Hiroshi in this Thai movie that uses no special fx/wire/or stand in stunt men for the stars, everything you see in the trailer is actually happening, the absolute WIN of Shimura Zoo: the premise is that Japanese celebrities go to far flung places (or not so far) to hang out with/take care of an animal. This could never happen in America, because PETA'd protest them along with the Humane Society. However, this is Japan.

My favorite regular is Becky, because she is an anime (the non annoying kind) heroine in human form, and because she gets on so well with animals. And also, I've just come to the conclusion that I really just like her - she's funny and she does an awesome impersonation of Yankumi.

Becky with a spring...hare?

Becky with the Very Fat Cat

Becky with Koalas

Aya Ueto with a baby panda named Mew

Aoki with otters in Okinawa

Just click around, and there's tons of clips. There's a famous one with Becky living with red pandas, and Anna Tsuchiya hanging out with black rhinos, and of course the sight of Aiba from Arashi fleeing/shrieking from animals big and small is always fun.

Becky goes out with Miyavi on White Day. THANK YOU, JAPAN.
