So last night I started watching the drama You're Beautiful (미남이시네요). I know, I know, I'm very late to the party seeing as the series ended back in November of 2009 lol, but I'm always late to catch on to dramas. I didn't watch Coffee Prince until well after it had ended either, even though I kept seeing all kinds of buzz about it online while it was still airing. The same thing happened with "You're Beautiful", saw lot's of online buzz, so when I was bored last night I finally caved in and decided to watch it.

LMAO. I LOVE that they included crazy fangirls/netizens protesting in the second episode XDDD. I mean, what's a Kpop group without some bat crap insane fans and netizens? hahahahaha

Jeremy's dog is named Angelina Jolie?! XD

What's with the company president dropping all that random Engrish?? Do music company presidents do that in real life? lol What are they basing that characterization on?

And LOL I finally know what that Jang GeunSuk spit-take gif was a reaction to XDD (uuuugh, I'm so used to writing his name like "KeunSuk", but Wikipedia says "GeunSuk". I know it's basically a matter of preference since it's the same character/sound in Korean, but... :/ I want to be accurate).


OK. Off to watch episode 3!~

I just got around to watching last Sunday's episode of Being Human and HOLY CRAP!! I SO did not expect that twist at the end. It hit me like a ton of bricks! OMG!!!

Also, I don't know if any of you guys on my f-list are watching the new season of Project Runway or not, but wtf was up with the winner this week?? I can't be the only one who thought the winning outfit was really ugly, right? :/ The judges kept saying how it was so current and fashionable, etc. But it looked like some really ugly thing out of the 80s or early 90s to me >__>

In about an hour I'll be headed off to the dentist to get a wisdom tooth pulled. I have to get there an hour early because they're gonna give me some Valium to calm/relax me before they actual get around to STICKING A NEEDLE IN THE F-ING ROOF OF MY MOUTH. As the time to leave gets closer I'm getting more and more nervous, butterflies in my stomach, hands shaking. Me and needles are not friends.

The thing is, if someone could look me in the eye and honestly tell me "Oh, it feels just like the shot you get when they fill a cavity" I would be okay. I'd still be nervous/anxious, but I could get through it. I know what cavity-shots feel like. I still get nervous/anxious when I have to get a cavity-shot, but at least I know what kind of feeling/pain to expect. But a tooth-pulling-shot? My sister said it was really painful. Even my dad said he nearly shed a few tears when he had to get a tooth-pulling-shot, and I've never in my life seen my dad cry. Never. So this sucker must really HURT. And I have a really low tolerance for pain. The last time I was at the dentist and they told me the tooth needed to come out, I held it together until I got back into the waiting room and was talking to my mom and sister about it. I got more and more tense and anxious and nervous over it, I started crying. The thought of getting this shot honestly scares me. I'm always like that with shots or other kind of needles-poking-into-me procedures, though. I tense up, my stomach feels like it's in knots, my heart starts beating faster, and in worst case scenario, I start bawling uncontrollably.

*SIGH*

omg the lunch I made is so yummy~

lol, So anyway, the new season of Project Runway has started! And it already seems like it's gonna be a billion times better than last season! :D. I like Anthony for the lulz hehehe. And for whatever reason, I kinda feel like I need to support the two guys from Florida haha. Neither is originally from Florida, but it's where they live now. Even more so since one is from Tampa and the other Orlando, and I'm smack in the middle between those two towns; they're only like 45-60 minutes away. And the one from Orlando went to my alma mater, UCF!! He's only 25 so if he started university at 18 then he would've graduated only 1-2 years before me. He played Captain Jack Sparrow at Disney World, and I had classes/did projects with a girl who played Mickey/Minnie at Disney World...They might have known each other! ...It's like six degrees of separation, but without famous people XDDD.

Ordered my new headphones last night! Can't wait until they get here!! The ones I'm using now have been on the verge of disintegrating in my hands for over a year now. Sometimes if I just move my head a certain way one of the speakers (or both!) detaches from the headband part ~___~

Moon HeeJun's song 이별이 아님을... (Unexpected Farewell) follows the tune of Auld Lang Syne! I sang the lyrics along with it and everything! XD Granted, HeeJun's song is a very slow version of the tune, but it definitely follows the tune of Auld Lang Syne!!

LOL!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU...DGE.

So I'm going through my music folder making a Kpop playlist and I can't find the JYP songs that [info]mtembo had uploaded for me. The folder isn't anywhere on my computer, I did a search! I thought I had downloaded the zip file, but I guess maybe not?? My memory is awful. And now the link is expired v___v;;

I also can't find the Tony An Untold Story single that I downloaded forever ago :(. I wanted to listen to Melody! Easily my most favorite solo song from Tony ever~ *listens on YouTube*
It sounds so damn good. Really really damn good
Really really damn good. Pretty damn good. Come on!

lol Way to show off that English, Tony XD. Maybe it's on my parent's computer, hmmm...


......Oh man, I haven't heard some of these songs in forever!!!

Cuz I did some good
And I did some bad
I know what we had was true
You still my number 1
You're the one I'm thinking of
The one I can rely
I guess you know that somewhere deep inside
I live this song
With all you said and done
You still number 1


...Well, that's what I hear XDD

After talking about them in the comments of [info]gogoparty's journal, it reminded me to do it, so last night I finally got around to ripping my Seo Taiji & Boys Goodbye Best album to my computer. I had downloaded versions of all the songs on my computer already, but I wanted to rip the CD myself to have some good quality versions...Yes, I'm a kbps snob xP 192 or higher!!

As I was listening to my newly ripped tracks just now, I realized that both Come Back Home and 필승 (Pilseung) are censored o_0. That in itself isn't too strange, I guess, but what makes it really odd to me is that the versions of those songs that I had previously downloaded are not censored. Why would the songs be censored on one CD and not another???

It also made me wonder what's so outrageous in those songs that parts need to be "beeped" out? I tried to find a translation for both, but I could only find an instance of a subtitled video from when Big Bang did a cover version of 필승 (Pilseung) -__-;; Didn't there used to be translations of those 2 songs up at taijihistory.com??? I could have sworn they had translations for some Seo Taiji & Boys/Seo Taiji songs up there, but now they don't have any :(

Anyway, if the translation in the Big Bang cover video is accurate then, lol, it's really stupid censoring. And the censor rules must have changed since the mid-90s because the Big Bang version doesn't have any beeps. According to the English subs in the Big Bang cover video, the censored parts are:
laughably ridiculous censoring under cut )


Meanwhile, my search for new headphones continues. So far I've got a list of about 10 different headphones ranging in price from $20 to *cough* $65. I've been reading reviews on Amazon trying to find the best compromise between sound quality, construction quality, and price. I'm so tired of having headphones made out of fragile/flimsy plastic that breaks within a year of using the headphones. On the other hand, even the most expensive pair on my list at $65 has some reviews from people saying they broke easily so... *SIGH* No point in spending $65 on a pair of headphones made in plastic that will break just as easily as a $20 pair. I'm trying to lean towards the $20-30 range so I won't feel like I totally wasted money if they break after a year or so lol.

I found this website last night that will tell you THE FUCKING WEATHER XD. Right now, for me, it says the weather is:

"34°?!

ITS FUCKING COLD

GREAT! If you're a penguin."

lol. And if you tell it to remember your location, you can keep hitting refresh to get different little "sayings" at the bottom like:
"Warmer than Hoth."
"Fuck this place."
"Where's the cat? Oh shit. Fluffy's frozen."
"Where's a Tauntaun when you need one?"
"Actually, a sharp-stick in the eye might not all be that bad right now."
Etc. hehe.


A few nights ago I spent a few hours (yes, hours) customizing a Candybar doll...I was very bored. If you don't know, Cadybar dolls are like...virtual paper dolls? XD You get a blank doll base and then add hair, eyes, lips, clothes, etc. If you're bored, it can be like this black hole that sucks you in and before you know it, you've spent an hour just browsing through the 3,000+ hairstyles trying to find the right one. So, I was trying to make one of myself which was...a bit difficult since they have very few red hair styles and none of them really look like my hair. That was why I started the custom one in Paint Shop Pro, but then I decided I might as well take it further and fix the nose shape, skin color, eye color, clothes colors, and eyebrows as well.
I started with this:


And I ended up with this:

Trying to add freckles to this thing and not have them look like pimples and/or the plague is hard! XD


Lastly, I'm basically over the cold I had. My nose is still just a little sniffly, and my throat still sounds just a little scratchy (it doesn't feel scratchy, just sounds it >_>), but other than that I'm fine.

It's that time of year again... Time for my LJ Year In Review for 2009!~ I fell asleep too early last night so I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep, despite feeling physically tired ~___~. So, I went to the my first entry of each month in 2009, got info like the entry title, mood, music, etc. along with the fist few lines or so of the entry and I'm recapping everything here in this post. (OMG, you have no idea how hard it was to make that and this make sense. I had to re-read it like 8 times before it made sense...typing thinking when I'm sick is a bad idea XD)

I'll login on the homepage, then click to see my "friends page" but it just loads and loads and loads without ever finishing; it's just a blank white screen.

So that's it, my 2009. Unlike 2008, I managed to make at least 1 post every single month. I also noticed a lot of my "first" posts were in the very beginning of the month.
