*yawn*
i'm kinda bored.
and i'm lagging on Aki Kitsune.
the ending of chapter20 is proving to be difficult and i am desperately trying to add in plots and stuff that can build up yet not drag down the story at the same time.
please bestow the almighty perseverance on me! for i know not of such things in my lazy and procrastination-prone brain..
*sigh*
well, i'll demand a good end to chapter20 out of my obsinate muse at gun/knife/vegetable point (if i can't stand vegs, i'll assume that my muse also can't, seeing that she's part of my creative mind) and not sleep until i'm satisfied with it.
i found the movie online for My Favorite Girl (you have to scroll down after clicking the link).
i'm not really sure what it is in the first place, but from my mediocre japanese, it's from some manga that's probably based on WaT's music videos and they're the ones that came up with the idea for the movie (as the credits after the movie showed).
so, obviously wentz and teppei acted in it, and the story is so simple and sweet it makes me want to *squee!!* from reasons other than the fact that teppei-chan is so cute (as always).
and that's saying something because i've exhausted my patience for overtly simple stories of "boy meets girl, end up together, get separated because of something, couldn't stand being apart, and ultimately end up together-together".
to avoid in depth spoilers, hayato (teppei) likes a girl at this ramen store he works at, but she hardly smiles because she's still hung-up about the death of her ex two years ago. and of course hayato says it's ok to not forget the guy and they end up dating (big surprise, NOT!).
then there's kai (wentz) who's striving to be a good magician, doesn't have a proper office job, works part-time anywhere, but is dating this girl who does have a stable job, immaculate suits and frequents good restaurants (because of her work, not because she likes to spend money, but of course kai doesn't know that).
so, kai works hard for cash to take her out and tries to be someone who can be a match to her, but sort of frustrates the girl because she says somewhere in the middle that "he's becoming different, and not the one she liked in the first place", and she kept assuring him that she really liked his "cheap gift" of a ring that doesn't match her clothes when he sulks that he couldn't get her anything better.
anyway, hayato finally breaks at one point and tells his girlfriend that she never really saw him and is just chasing after the shadow of her dead ex, stalks off, while kai vehemently thinks that he'll never be good enough for his own girlfriend and sort of rejects her so that she could have a better future with someone else.
angst ensues, but it's a happy ending after all and- what can i say?- it's sweet.
not sweet-puke-your-guts-out-chick-flick-sweet, but simple-aww-that's-nice-sweet.
and there's not a single snog throughout!
there's enough comedy to balance out the mental glucose content too.
here's the link for the first part (it's split into five parts).
the subsequent parts are on the right if you scroll down.
all right, enough stalling.
i've got to end AK soon if i still want my sleep.
