dammitliv! Last night, I discovered that the back cover of GLAY's Heavy Gauge album GLOWS IN THE DARK. I have two glow-in-the-dark devil duckies, but I had not noticed my CD rack glowing before. XD

Dad is leaving for (the airport for a plane to) New Orleans in an hour, so I am staying up to wait. XD It's a volunteer project with his old youth church group, helping out Habitat for Humanity, which he's worked with for at least ten years now, locally.

*twiddles thumbs*

Music!

Bergerac has an announcement and individual statements up about their last live and the reasons behind their breakup. Rumors on the Bergerac comm say they just felt that they've done all they could as a band, and decided to break up before they started feeling grumbly at one another. From what I could decipher from Google's translation of their OHP, this doesn't seem wrong... there wasn't really any mention (that I could see) of them feeling like there was trouble within the band, but just a sense that they'd had a good run together, but it was time to move on. I hope that's not just spiel...

Sincrea has a new look, and their OHP seriously fails in my browser, or else something's just off with their coding. >.> But anyways, you can still see them. Kazi... a visor? Really? >.> Though I envy the blue streaks in his hair. Am not sure Tomo's Rapunzel look was really neccessary. XD I remain biased towards Hal Hiro, even with the random goggles. And now I will stalk them all on Ameba!

Oh. I went to... someone from vistlip's house on Ameba the other day. He wasn't there but another fan was, so I ran away. XDD

Movies!

I watched Gohatto (Taboo) today, Matsuda Ryuhei's first big film from 1999, about gay attraction among samurai. Well, mostly just about his character and how, because of his attractiveness, Shit Goes Down. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be more... intricate(?) than I thought it would be.

---

Matsuda Ryuhei has a very creepy look about him - in general, to me, but especially in this movie, which really made his character different. The initial summary, in terms of the basic plot being about a feminine man attracting a bunch of suitors he's ultimately indifferent about (or dislikes), reminded me of Lee Jun Ki's character in The King and the Clown, but while Gonggil was passive to a fault, Kano (Matsuda's character) is passive... and creepy. XD He's clearly someone who could defend himself against such unwanted affections, but chooses to bide his time instead, and even when you know how things will end, there was still a moment at the end of, "...oh." I can't explain it well.

It was interesting that of all the men that surrounded him, the only two that he was actually attracted to were not interested in him at all. Which... is good for them because they seemed like good guys, even if Okita's repeated insistence at Not Being Like That was kind of suspicious next to his equally-repeated musings on male love. :P But fandom has taught me to read ghei into everything, so who knows?

Books!

I picked up Son Of A Witch, the sequel to Wicked, at the bookstore last night. I had intended for it to be reading for a week, but I have finished it already. >.> Oops. It's one of those books in which a lot happens, but by the end, you realize that not a lot has also happened, but I still quite liked it.

And now Dad is awake! >.> Time to pretend like I've been not on the computer...
