(( Ż - Gackt - Lu:Na ))

I'm back. Well, sort of. I didn't go anywhere >_<

So. Life is good, life is boring, the weather is beautiful and I'm on a slight coffee-high. Watched Gettobakkaazu 48, the episode I've longed to watch so much. Because it had the Akabane/Ban fight. Which turned out to be a Ban/Akabane fight eventually, and I did *not* like that. Akabane, however, uttered some lovely lovely lovely gasps/groans and I won't lie if I say that it made me very a happy fangirl. A very happy fangirl ineed. Hell, hear it yourself! It doesn't sound like a fight at all, ne~ < /ecchi>.

I also watched PoT 99. Just because. Silly as it was, the episode contained some explicit Skeleton/Kaidou scenes. Yes, that's the correct order. The skeleton wasn't even alive. Anyway, who has seen it will get what I mean.

By accident I scratched my cheek with my nail. Strange too, as I have very short nails now (and it feels terrible). It's not something big like Gojyo has, for example, but it's enough to make me jump around saying 'Nooo! My eien no utsukushisa has been scarred!' (<- caused by the Too Much Coffee syndrom). Ok, so it will heal in no time. I just don't know what to write about^^;

Oh, I had some time and a pencil so being a hopelessly obsessed Astarise that I am, I did this, which is a little fanart of a happy/smiley Akabane. The scalpels are formed in a 'peace' sign. Or at least I tried to make the that way o_O; I'll go and make some layouts now <3

(( Ż - MUCC- Futashin no Koe ))

Not nice things are happening in Astarise land lately. 'Not nice' meaning they don't allow me to be online as much as I'd want to^^;;

I've taken up a sort of job - as an editor/helper of the one of the books my grandfather writes (war and historical stuff, not fiction -_-;) that needs to be reedited. The deadline is close so I'm kind of busy with it all. I mostly edit stuff on his compy, check if there are no typos or stylistic mistakes and correct it, write a lot of things (because I type fast), scan and adjust photos and other things like that.
It's quite a nice job actually ^_^ And I'm being paid for it :3 But it takes me a lot of time to do this all, and when I come home it's already late and I'm tired. And if that wasn't enough, yesterday, when I came back much earlier, my connection just died on me ._.'

But it's all good because I was almost broke after my August shopping (-_-;) and now I can save money for the new MUCC album *_* Because, gods, that song I'm listening to now, is one of the best things I've ever heard *______*

Furthermore, I need money for the upcoming yaoi convention in October~ Yayyayayay! I'm *so* happily looking forward to it. I'm cosplaying Akabane~~! As for now, I only have the scalpels ready, 8 of them (they're not real scalpels though^^;), and white gloves which I bought yesterday XD~ Fantastic thing is that the con is in my city so I finally won't have to travel far. I'll only need to take one bus and I'm there ^_^

(( Ż - Duel Jewel - Red Beast o Korose! ))

OMG, t h i s. I take back what I've said about not wanting any more of GB manga. Unconscious!Akabane is not something one sees often. Of course I forgot to check the next page at first and though he was dead. Especially with the "kare.... mou iki ga nai no.." I was like "O_O. Uso da." Akabane, you rock so much~

(( Ż - Merry - Hi no Ataranai Basho ))

Yehey, I found a four leaf clover today! Rakki~ ^_^

Welcome to Pitas~ *updates link* Ahhh~ and You have a Hello Hyde layout *stares*! Kyaa he's so incredibly cute/cool here *stares some more*.

I've just discovered the fun with jrock radios ^_^ Although at first I thought I'll give up as the only ones I found were playing lotsssssssssss of crappy jpop and anime music only ._.v And then I found this one (which I'm happily listening to right now) and fell in love with it because almost everything played there is rather my type of music *____*

(( Ż - MUCC - Orugooru ))

(silly entry devoted to my love for bishounen)

Ah, life is good. No school until October and I have plenty of time to do... nothing^^; Well, to watch anime, actually.
A certain obsessed sister of mine made me watch more of Prince of Tennis. Of course I don't mind because... Oshitari~~~~~~~~! Augh, he's so cool <3. He's the closest to my type of bishounen of them all. 'Closest', because bishies of my type would never play tennis XDD; But anyway, I love his seiyuu. Such a sexy voice. Sounds to me like a cross between the voices of Atobe and Inui. And I juzt *must* get ahold of this voice message of his where he leaves a kisu *_* (< EDIT> Aha, I've just found and listened to it. It has not one but *two* kisses at the end *_____* < /EDIT>) Why doesn't he have any other important roles? Bwa~

Also~ I finished watching the last three episodes of Wolf's Rain and I'm going to drool over Darcia-sama now XD. To say that he's return was 'cool' would be like saying that Ban and Ginji are slashy. Erm, something like that anyway^^; See for yourself :

This new mask of his is fantastically spooky. And all the people who come across him were immediately falling to his feet (literally). Well, I understand them. I'd fall and worship him myself if I were in their place. Hm, actually I thnk I would hesitate a little between falling and glomping him, but then I'd decide that Darcia is not a type to glomp and choose to fall instead (<-I don't make much sense here, do I?).
A shame that WR ended though (so many things were left unsaid~). I'm going to miss it T-T. The ending scene and all reminded me of Record of Lodoss War OAV's ending so much~~~~ Especially Darcia ("Ashram-sama is my role model") and the way he dealt with things and the last shot of Cheza in Kiba's arms (blaaah for that pairing *surreptitiously waves a little 'Tsume/Kiba' flag*) and of course the overclichéd thingy with the castle falling apart.
Anyway, I so love Darcia <3 And I'm adding Takaya Kuroda to my seiyuu list even though his only other role I heard was a guy in Saint Seiya Hades who had like 10 seconds of screen time -_-;

GetBackers 47 only made me want 48 even more^^; Next week, oh next week, where are you~~~ But basically it was a boring episode. Akabane kept running around until he met Kagami. Then he decided not to follow the GB crew (and forgot to tell them about it) only to stay with Kagami in a dark room (Haha, and it's not my slash fangirl interpretation! It's the *truth*).

I'm sleepy/tired now. I wonder if that has to do something with my breakfast consisting only of ice cream (vanilla~), haha.
Ok, nevermind me ._.

(( Ż - Schwarz Stein - Queen Of Decadence ))

Oh my. Akabane. Fsojsojbvsjbdfuwbk *nosebleeds* :=

I almost forgot how much I love him^^; Ah, and he appeared in the new Mugenjou arc! *Kyaaa~ x 9999999 times*

(ep 45 spoiler in this paragraph yo)
Ok, you'd think I'm weird but.... Fudou T__T Damn, I really, *really* started to like him (even though he still scares me). I was so happy he appeared (yaha, I knew he wouldn't die in the first Mugenjou arc^^). But the title of episode 45 was... ;_; That was really MEAN of them (well, not really mean of Ban as he surprised me in a positive way~). 'Fudou dies' damn, that was actually sad. I think he was the first GB antagonist that actually died for real there in the anime. I added Fudou to my bishlist. He deserves it ;_;

Also, Saiyuuki Reload 2 rules. It's so much better than 1. And I really like Zakuro. He's cute. I wonder if he's in the new anime. I also wonder one other thing. I know it's a very newbie-like question [and I personally hate them (questions, not newbies)], but does anyone know what's his real hair color? All I have is black and white T_T~ Yay for Zakuro anyway.

Btw, why is my blog linked here among the sites devoted to 'black hair' @_@?

I still haven't finished unpacking ^_^;;; I have an incredible mess in my room now, everything (clothes mostly) is scattered all over the floor. Gah, and I somehow don't have the strength to clean it up. I hate unpacking because it always takes me so long to do it. Packing is ok on the other hand...

I have a facemask I need to wash off soon now. I think I've had it on for too long and now it's become all stone-like (because it contains clay and is a freaking green color^^;) and I can't really move my face, like frown or even open my mouth. Damn, what a weird feeling >_<~

(( Ż - Malice Mizer - Shiroi Hada ni Kuruu Ai to Kanashimi no Rondo ))

Oi, blog. Ohisashiburi~! Genki no kaaa~~?

XDD'

Ok, putting the fangirlish Japanese aside, guess what - I've come back >:D. Mwaha. I came back only yesterday, actually.

Ah, now everything here is so gray, sad and poor and I can't help but feel a little freaky understanding perfectly the language people use here -_-; I've gotten used to hearing a fantastic language mix around me there, everything from Japanese to Russian~

And apparently I did not find a job. I gave up after two weeks because I wasn't especially ambitious about it ne~ ^^; Instead I got a perfect reconnaissance as to what the job situation in Paris looks like. Nothing lost; I shall most probably try again in June (<-wow, I'm so light-heartedly considering my life important decisions here ^^) but for much much longer (forever maybe :3). And this time I'll be serious and will speak good French, yay yay.

Ah, so many things to write about, but maybe let's cut the real life stuff and let's move onto something more important. Like manga =X.

First of all, now I finally finally have all volumes of Yami no Matsuei completed. All, nyahaha. And they look so pretty on the shelf ('pretty', as I have changed my opinion about Hana to Yume covers ^^). This has been a month of reading YnM manga for me. Happy desu. I also bought some missing volumes of God Child, Matantei Loki 3 (They had only #3! Ah, Junku, I'm a bit disappointed. I wanted more T_T), and GB18 with the Ban/Uryuu ritual kisu, yum yum (of course my inner yaoi fangirl insists it's not a ritual :3), with lovely Akabane (and Akabane_with_the_fruits_basket ) and his sword XD And Maguruma and Hishiki too XD (please let the idea of slashing those two leave my mind NOW o_O!) Lucifer is... eww. I don't like him at all. Maybe it's because I'm prejudiced: when I first heard that there is a Lucifer in GetBackers my mind already pictured him as a megabish, something that equals Angel Sanctuary's Lucifer (<-kyaaa *_*). And the reality is far from a bish, blah (yes, I know I'm shallow). Fortunately (spoiler) Akabane killed him. Ah, Akabane <3~ . I've also decided I don't want any more of GB manga. It's too shounen for me. And the drawings (like faces, for example) look too violent in a look-I'm-so-nasty way. If I ever see more of manga Hevn... grrr. Get her away from me and never mention her to me again >_> (but the anime Hevn is even kind of likeable)
More about GB when I finish watching all the episodes released in August^^ (haha, btw, I've been to the Louvre and saw the real Venus de Milo ^_^ Now that is being a GetBackers fangirl, ne~)

On the last day before leaving I decided to go on a shopping spree and spend all my money. And so I did. Among other things I bought volume 1 of Kashou no Tsuki. I've been interested in the series for some time now, but mostly in the anime (the seiyuu *_*). Now, why only 1. For me actually the drawings, and the aesthetical side of manga are more important than the plot. And almost all Kashou no Tsuki covers are hideous. I didn't know about the inside because all the manga in Junku are in plastic so I was not able too check it. The general rule (in my opinion) is that the first volume is always drawn much worse than the last ones. But I bought it anyway. And buaah, the drawings are relatively very pretty T_T <-the tears are because it was the last thing I bought and I had absolutely no money to buy more after I discovered that ;_; Ah, the drama.

So that would be all from the manga part. I will somehow order more Kashou no Tsuki though ^_^

*waves lots of 'welcome back's* ^____^

Ah, Mada-chan has a pretty new layout! It's KYOOOOOU~~~~~~-KUUU~~~~N!!*says it like Kagura* (gomen ne, Kyo-san, I always wanted to say that XP < /baka>)

Meh, I want a Jrocker layout too. I have one finished, featuring Hyde (btw, haido looks *fantastic* in the Hello PV. With the black makeup and hair *_*) but I'm not very satisfied with it (as a layout), I also have a half-finished Kirito one. But I want to make a layout with Tatsurou :3! Without his scenic zombie makeup unfortunately because it scares me (really) ahaha^^;

Speaking of layouts, waii, I have a new one too! Even though I don't consider myself as a part of the X fandom (neither the CLAMP one), I like the series very much~
When I came back it was raining so it gave me an idea which layout to load (I wuv rainy days). And gomen if anyone finds the blur filters disturbing - I'm very fond of them lately^^;

OK, I'm off to watch some anime. Waahhh, I feel so behind with everything T_T;~~
