| An update WHAT? |
[Apr. 26th, 2009|12:33 am] |
I got back from visiting my cousins in Washington DC on Tuesday. :D I probably would have gotten around to updating my LJ sooner, but of course, my internet stopped working for about 2-3 days. :\
( Pictures and rambling about DC )
*RANTY RANT* I stopped at FYE on the way home from DC to pick up the Tinted Windows CD (released Tuesday!), and it wasn't there. So Bambi and I asked them if they had it, and they told us it was coming in the next day. Um, aren't you guys a media/music store? Isn't getting things before the release date just part of the deal? I finally tracked it down after a couple of days, so I'll probably end up writing up some ridiculous review to pimp it out at some point, because it is fabulous. I can't help myself with anything Hanson related. That, and this month was my fandom anniversary for Hanson. 12 years! :x
And I've activated the first step in my plan to make at least one member of my family an Arashi fan by the end of the year. The only one who's cracked even a little so far is my dad, haha. :D The one I'm the most confident will eventually give in is my aunt, and I'm currently preparing to send her the first few episodes of Hana Yori Dango. Because everyone eventually succumbs to Hana Yori Dango. I'm hoping it turns out something like this:
Me: Oh, you like anime? How about an awesome live action J-drama with lots of romance and pretty and happiness and yay?
Her: ....sure.
Me: Oh, so you LOVED IT, RIGHT? And the lead character? How about watching some of the shows he does with his band, Arashi?
Her: Okay!
Me: Oh, I see. NOW YOU'RE COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THEM AND NEED EVERYTHING ELSE THEY'VE EVER DONE, RIGHT?
Her: OMG YES.
This plan may or may not have some flaws. |

| It's Been Awhile |

I've finally been re-acquainted with the internet! Apologies to everything/everyone I've neglected the past few weeks, it's been crazy and busy here (for once). Shawna came out here and stayed for about two weeks, and then I started my new job at the same time.
The job is pretty boring, actually. I'm doing data entry for Bank of America and key in the income tax returns for New York. The plus side to this is that I don't have to deal with angry customers, and I can listen to my iPod all day long. The bad side is that I often feel like I'm going to fall asleep with my face on the keyboard, and the main boss is kind of a drama queen bitch at times. We must be secretly filmed in this office, because I swear she's gearing up for an Emmy with her little office announcements.
Tonight, DirecTV aired with first Tinted Windows performance at SXSW, so I got to see them perform a bunch of new stuff finally. :D Seriously, after watching it, I've started to ship Taylor and James Iha. No, I'm not the kind of fan that wants to think of Taylor as a slut who will go for any pretty boy, and tries to find plausible ways to slash him in JE. They were even wearing match-y outfits! ♥
I liked the performance, mostly. Taylor sounded a little off, but he seemed very nervous too... like he was realizing that he was swimming with much bigger fish than he's used to, and he was a little intimidated. But the songs were fun, and most of them I liked better than "Kind of a Girl".
I should also probably mention that the Supernatural convention I went to with Shawna and Bambi a couple of weeks ago was pretty fabulous, discounting Jared failing and canceling on us. But, you know, Misha. ♥ |
