don't we all envy other countries that, while they have white fluffy snow for christmas, all we have is a WET christmas, and the only similarity is that it's DARN COLD.
-.-
yeah, whatever.
anyways, i know that everyone who knows me knows that i hate pink and i know that this new blogskin is totally pink.
i tried to darken the background, add a few blood splatter using brushes from photoshop to make it more "dark-ish" (more "me") but i can't get the effect i want. plus the darker it gets, the more brown it is and it simply does not look good with whited-out japanese maple on the left.
for now, the only pink i like will be my blogskin-pink.
lol..
last night i saw the new REIRA video for NANA2.
yes, i'm well aware that the video was out long before and that the movie had already been shown ages ago.
it's not my fault that MTV chinese isn't doing a good job of showing new japanese videos.
back to the topic, the song was nice; very good lyrics, but what irked me was what most NANA fans hated too.
the @#$%^&* changing in cast.
First, Aoi was withdrawn because of the increase in "passionate" scenes that Hachiko will have as the story progresses, then the character of Ren was replaced by some other guy who i have yet to remember the name.
although i had initially thought that the first Ren didn't quite look the same as the original manga character, but compared to the new one.. ugh. no comments. the first was definitely better.
and of course, shinichi's role had to be replaced because the original actor, who incidentally acted as L in Deathnote, looks nothing like shinichi.
shinichi's replacement had acted as Ryoma in the live movie of Prince of Tennis, by the way.
oh, and i saw a picture of him in the shinichi getup. piercings, outrageously dyed and extremely spiked hair.. the whole works.
that is the only cast replacement that i'm satisfied with, since shinichi was one of my favourites in the manga.
as of now, i'm trying to download through bittorrent the 6th episode of hanazakari no kimitachi e (long name, no?), otherwise known as hanakimi, which is now being shown in taiwan as a live drama.
and it seems as if my uploading speed is faster than my downloading speed and i've uploaded to other peers more than they have to me!
what rubbish.
