we are only made of air and dust

I meant to post this earlier, but then I got sidetracked by OMG, HANA KIMI!

it certainly makes for smashing dramas, doesn't it? Both good and bad. I'm in the middle of a sports drama binge at the moment, which is quite funny as I'm not remotely sporty, but that's entertainment for you. I rewatched Ganbatte Ikimasshoi! (Give it your all!) and just finished watching the subbed episodes of Regatta. Both are about rowing, and can be considered the yin and yang of each other: Ganbatte! is about a high school girl rowing team, while Regatta deals with a university male rowing team. I also watched half of Rough, the swimming movie starring Masami Nagawase, Hayami Mokomichi, and everyone's favorite yakuza gigolo heir, Abe Tsuyoshi. I fast forwarded to the end, because well...the movie kind of sucked - the transitions were off, I didn't really get love triangle between the three, and the mildly cutesy story line - two families in rival cookie empires and both of their children are top swimmers who hate each other, etc, etc. The only thing going for it was the pretty - Mokomichi and Tsuyoshi in swim trunks!

( if they've known you since you were three, it must be love! )
