...I went to South Korea last week. I tend to make multiple visits to foreign countries, returning to my favorite sites each time. But since this was my fourth (fifth?) trip to the ROK, I decided that this time I was going to go somewhere new, dammit. Thus, before departing I made a list of five sights and told myself I was absolutely going to visit at least three of them.
In fact, one of them was ( the first place I hit up upon arriving in Seoul. )
But anyway, enough of that. What about ( the spoils? )
Anyway, good times.

Namely, Takamura Yuiko's Ayashi no Koi no Monogatari, which was actually ( really good. )

The 府 government decided to close down all the schools in the city for a week...and informed students at 12:30 yesterday morning. This means that although I theoretically have seven days of free time on my hands that could be spent engaged in productive study, all of my materials are in my uni research room and I am forbidden by government fiat from setting foot on campus to go get them.
Thus inflicted with a frustrated urge to be writing something, I give you a (rather longer than it deserves) rundown on the ways Sakura Akari's Tsuki to Matsurika ( is made of fail. ) I've already repurchased Natsu no Akebono no Romanse as a palate-cleanser.

...was to make money, I find that there is a conflict of interest between this objective and the location of my workplace, which is right next to the cinema whose relationship with my uni's film club equals big discounts for me, and a five minute walk from the city's largest Bookoff. The temptation is too much to resist, and I have already plowed several hours' wages into historical pr0n and movies.
( Including Red Cliff II. )

...in equal measure.
The awesome? Actually winning one of the seats to the uni's screening of Mei Lanfang* and Chen Kaige's speech following the movie. Even more awesome? Meeting Chen Hong and getting to talk to her about the film.
The sadness? Forgetting to bring my freaking camera.
( As far as the movie goes? )

Or, why couldn't I just have gotten into Hetalia ( like everybody else? )
And if that weren't bad enough, I appear to be writing large portions of the fic in Japanese.

...mainly for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fragilistikal and metal_dog5, because my reply is probably a bit longer than the comment field will allow. ( Anyway, here are the basics. )
ETA: There's almost nothing on the net yet (the DVD only came out today), but I was able to find this compilation of outtakes on yt. Not sure how much (if any) sense it will make to anyone who hasn't seen the film, but it should give a basic idea of what I'm talking about above.

...for Red Cliff, which I finally saw today( Read more... )
Regardless of the probable $40 price tag, on the day the DVD comes out I am all over it like Bush on religion.

Really, I should know better than to suggest doing these things over the holidays/end of the semester. But better late than never, ( here are my photo replies. )
On a slightly related note, photobucket has apparently determined, based my recent photo uploads, that I am a Japanese man seeking cosmetic foreskin surgery. Which is equal parts BUHWUH? and a source of attractive yaoi-esque shots of real life Asian man torso. Um...yay?

...that whenever I move to a new apartment in Japan, I do the picspam meme. I am now happy to annouce that, having moved to a new apartment (albeit several months ago), and having just acquired a new camera (the last having died a tragic death a mere two months after purchase), I am once again doing the picspam meme. (Hurrah, neverending Japanese-style sentence.)
So, if interested, leave a comment with one or two things you'd like me to take a picture of, and I will see what I can do.

...(aside from the x-degrees-of-separation association w/ the Snapewives.)
Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test... Mrs. Snape
You like a guy of loyalty and intelligence and don't really mind if he comes across as a bit harsh. Or a bit bastardy. Or if he happens to terrify every child who crosses his path. The point is that under that rough exterior lies...well, a rough interior. But under that is a soft, squishy center and you don't mind at all that you're the only person in the world who gets to see it. (Fanart by Grant Gould GrantGould.com Used with permission.)
