my music should really be my stomach making noise...
UWAH~
THUNDER.
I thought I saw lightning (because who's taking flash photos outside at 4:40am, when I should be sleeping, but have fallen into a v6id and so am not. Again), and then....
rumblerumblerumble.
I'm pretty sure there have been bugs crawling on me all night, since our room is warm, and my laptop is shiny.
Numbers?
1) Since Wednesday, I've slept a total of 10 hours and eaten 2 proper meals (lunch at 3pm on Wednesday, and dinner yesterday). I sort of worry myself sometimes with the ease with which I can forego food (today, I ate some Goldfish crackers and five Pringles, and drank a bit of water and a cup of tea. And I contemplated getting food a lot).
2) It sounds like rain! Ooh, it is... Too bad my room is still 80-something degrees Fahrenheit. It's quite nice outside.
3) I spent last night watching Neverland, the 2001 drama with Tsubasa, Ken, Hina, Toma and Koki. Once I got over the cheesy dramatic effects (drastic closeups every other second on people when Things Happened + completely unsubtle soundtrack), the terrible subs (there were Chinese subs and horrible English ones), and the generally poor video quality, it was surprisingly good (though I kept thinking that Ken looked like Yasu). If nothing else, the boys all get points for tackling such complex roles pretty well across the board.
Another spoiler warning, just 'cause.
...
Okay. Well, Neverland went quickly because I skipped a lot of Tsubasa's character's angst. >.> Next to the others', it just wasn't as interesting. I mean, this is the drama with Koki and the ghei (and the pacemaker). Toma's character acts cheerful all the time - often to the annoyance of others - but can turn around and be moody at the drop of a dime, but with a reason. Hina's drama was probably the most 'normal' (meaning, no childhood kidnapping, no clingy girlfriend, no... well, I'll get to Miyake in a minute) with his parents forcing him to choose between them during their divorce, but I think that made it also the most accessible storyline.
Miyake's character, Yoda (maybe that helped with the Yasu connection), not only had dead!parentals angst, but also had a stepmother who basically owned him and had him repay her with sex. Talk about angst. And yet he angsted less than Tsubasa did... at least on-screen.
His stepmother was played by the same actress who was the ninja!lawyer in Atashinchi no Danshi, which was sort of cool. Luckily, even though she looks basically the same, the characters were different enough that I wasn't too reminded of the cool lawyer. XD
/end spoilers
4) Still on a V6 kick. Stupid shiny new fandoms with all of their shiny TV shows... >_< Am saving the food ones until after I start eating properly again. Tonight's V6 "drama" was Hard Luck Hero, which was also surprisingly good. More fun than Neverland, since there's some humor in, with less angst, better music, more cars, and all of V6 being spazzy/flaily/panicky/dramatic together. ♥ Plus shirtless!Okada doing a random dance, for those who like their eyecandy with their pseudo-gangsta movies. ;)
It did go on a little long, but it's got an interesting (not exactly groundbreaking, but still interesting) structure. It's three loosely-intertwined stories all centered around a rigged boxing match and an angry yakuza boss, each featuring a pair of V6 guys. Inohara and Okada are a guy running an illegal boxing ring and the guy he drags in to pose a boxer who doesn't show, respectively. Sakamoto and Nagano are two businessmen out to lunch, but one of them harbors an old dream of being a race car driver. Morita and Miyake are two punkish friends who need a lot of money to cover a car that Morita crashed. Each story is told separately, so it's not hard to follow at all, though watching some events happen three or more times can be tedious.
5) Miyake Ken has a twin sister! But apparently, she left with his dad, whenever that was.
6) I went back and translated that little blurb with Ruiza from some JE magazine. Nothing particularly eye-opening (he thought Kimutaku's singing voice was cool! He was bad at Chem, and good at Math! He lived with two dogs, but one was his grandma's!), though I wonder why we had previously assumed that the drama mentioned (Ginrou Kaiki File) was one that he had been in... it's just one he liked. Which means that this blurb is from at least 1996, which means that at the youngest, he's 17 in that magazine.
7) There are definitely bugs on me.
8) Go figure that number 6 would be the one to break the train of V6-related rambling.
9) Today, I am going to sleep before 6am. So. Goodnight! I'll spend the weekend resetting my body, I think. :P
10) ...Oh, Bergerac's last live was/is today in Japan. :((( Tatsuha hasn't updated his blog since they first announced they were disbanding back in June, and I miss his random camwhoring.
THUNDER.

I . . . have nothing else that's productive to say, except I'm super proud of you for translating stuff! ♥♥♥♥

:DDD It's fun. I'm not consciously learning grammar, but I think I'm still picking things up as I see them repeated.
