Mar. 11th, 2009 09:13 pmMore Red Dwarf spoilers!! I'm actually not reading any spoilers or plot summaries, but I am looking at any and all pictures. Why? IDK. So, if for some reason you're like me, here's a link to just the new picture --> picture

I don't know if it's the weather or what's been going on with me, but I just have no energy lately. Granted I don't get enough sleep and lately I've barely been eating because I'm afraid of what my stomach might do. But still. I feel like a zombie. It's not a feeling I enjoy :/
But I did watch two movies recently that I quite enjoyed - Antique and Summer Time Machine Blues. I recommend both (especially Antique) ^_^
I have tomorrow off, so I'm going to bake cupcakes for my coworkers to bring in on Friday. But not just any cupcakes - dinosaur cupcakes *is excited*

Toma's starring in a new drama!!
I love how everyone is talking about how he's actually going to have a girlfriend in this one. But it's true. The boy is always in love with some girl who only loves him as a friend. Should be interesting. But either way, more Toma is always a good thing. And yay! for more starring roles <3

Popular young actor Toma Ikuta has a solo starring role in a drama series for the first time. The show, titled "Majo Saiban," will be the first drama to tackle the issue of Japan's new "saiban-in" (lay judge) system.
This May, Japan is reintroducing the jury system, which was previously abolished in 1943. Since then, only judges have decide the outcome of criminal cases, but under the new system, cases will be decided by a combination of judges and lottery-selected citizens.
In "Majo Saiban," Ikuta plays a typical part-timer with little interest in social issues. However, he is unexpectedly chosen as a juror in the trial of a suspected female murderer. While the mystery surrounding the case unfolds, an unknown group is secretly attempting to bribe the jury.
Actress Ai Kato plays a housewife who is also selected as a juror, while Manami Higa plays Ikuta's girlfriend, a newspaper reporter. Yuriko Ishida takes on the role of the accused.
Fuji TV will air "Majo Saiban" on Saturday nights at 11:10pm. The series starts on April 25, about a month before the actual jury system goes into effect.
I love how everyone is talking about how he's actually going to have a girlfriend in this one. But it's true. The boy is always in love with some girl who only loves him as a friend. Should be interesting. But either way, more Toma is always a good thing. And yay! for more starring roles <3
