( Even more )

Trailer at the movie's official website; link's up in the top right corner.



As excited I am for Ningen Shikkaku and it being his first movie and all, I think I'm even more excited for his other two movies this year.

I had this whole long entry about how depressed and miserable I've been lately, but I don't really feel like talking about that right now. Today was much better than yesterday (which was one of the worst days of my life) and I just want to focus on the good right now. (*NOTE: I actually wrote this yesterday, but had no energy to finish/post it)

* I just got a new cell phone - ( LG enV Touch )

* Toma's first movie coming out on the 20th is both happy news and less-than-happy news. Happy because we're getting all sorts of promotions and interviews with him. Less-than-happy because I'll know it's out, but I have no idea just how long I'll have to wait to see it. Especially with subs.

* Nick J's solo CD continues to make me happy. And sad. Either way, I'm enjoying it immensely.

* I want to be more like Joe. That is a sweet ass ride right there.



* Nick and Joe went on a bro-date for ice cream and their preciousness makes me happy. In my soul.

* Each interview with Toma just makes me love him more. He's so passionate about acting and he takes each job/role so seriously. He understands just how lucky he is to be where he's at now. He says that he isn't one of those people who were born to act, and chances come and go, but the important thing is to do the best in what you're doing now, give it your all. He wants to be the perfect actor. I just worry about him being too harsh on himself. He's a perfectionist and he seems somewhat anal, so I hope he just takes care of himself and has fun. Which he does seem to do, thankfully.

He also goes from being serious and admitting that he sometimes feels the pressure is 'scary' to then saying things like:



------

Anyway, I'm feeling slightly better now. I'm still tired and cranky (plus mildly depressed and suffering from allergies), but it could be worse. If I have the energy, I'll post a picspam of happiness on V-day, but we'll see. I always threaten picspams and then never follow through :) I managed to get Sunday off so I could go to a friend's anti-Valentine's Day party (where she was semi trying to set me up), but I just don't think I'll feel up to human contact by then.

They were performing this. Now they just need to perform this again. At least that opening bit ;) Or even this.

On a slightly related topic, I really need to rewatch both Maou and Coffee Prince. The first because holy crap, I love that show (spoilers for the finale), and the second because (as I've said before) a Gong Yoo in love is one of the most adorable things in existence.

Oh, and my boss gave me a $50 Target gift card for Christmas <3 A bunch of us from work went out to eat dinner tonight. The food was meh, but it was a nice time.

It seems like things are really shitty for people right now. Let me just take a second to give you all a big, virtual hug - *HUG*

Things are quite shitty in my neck of the woods as well, and I'll admit that I've been sort of wallowing in self pity lately. There are a lot of worries with work (as in, I don't know how much longer I'll be working there), I have less money in my account than I've had since I started working (the holidays will do that), stress at home, and just your basic depression. I don't know. I'm still mostly enjoying things, but I don't feel like I have enough energy to share my joy/love. Hell, lately I haven't even been talking much IRL. A happy spacemonkeyluvn is one who doesn't/won't shut up, and I've barely been talking to friends or anybody.

Things that are happy-making:

* I got my first Christmas card yesterday. Thank you, arathesane!!

* ( Another pictures of the Toma/Pi hug, and from a different angle. Toma just looks so happy. )

* This picture taken by Dave Brown (aka Bollo) - 'Lazy lights. Genius'

* NSFW yet still somehow adorable Boondock Saints Q&A in which Norm gets teased for never talking, Sean is a dork and takes pictures of the crowd to show his mother, and they call Billy Connolly but get his voicemail. Oh, and I really want to know if the donut story is true or not.

* Community, especially the tags at the end of the episodes. Abed&Troy are too adorkable for words.

* Adam Lambert's 'For Your Entertainment'

* This Mighty Boosh photoshoot, though I wish they didn't have watermarks :(

* These boys: Kevin looks like a normal boy, Joe looks special (and why that hair cut?), and Nick looks a little possessed there. Bless.



There's probably more but I'm too cold, tired, and meh to think any more. Time for a shower, sleep, and then the dreaded work day. *le sigh*

One of my favorite parts about Edgar, Nick, and Simon writing their own Hot Fuzz slash fic on Twitter (other than the WHOLE THING) is this comment on Edgar's blog: You realise this counts as canon to us now, right? That and the fact that Edgar ships Nick and Simon even more than they ship each other (@edgarwright @camposova I think the fact that I have out-slashed Pegg & Frost by 3 to 1 speaks volumes about me. Uh…) <3 <3 <3

OH! OH! And in Psych / House news, Television stars James Roday ("Psych"), Michael Weston ("House, M.D.") and Amanda Detmer ("Private Practice") will headline the world premiere of Gabe McKinley's Extinction in Los Angeles. The dark comedy centers on "College buddies Max (Weston) and Finn (Roday) [who] meet in Atlantic City, where they traditionally spend their vacations in the fast lane, religiously drinking, drugging and chasing women," according to an announcement. "But this time something is different, and thwarted expectations precipitate a dangerous showdown between the two friends."

Why can't I be in LA? *pouts*

Today there's new Community, The Jeff Dunham Show, and Milla Jovovich guest judges on Project Runway. Not a bad schedule.

In other news:

* I'm saving for a new computer and looking around for deals
* I paid off the rest of my medical bills, so that's at least one less thing to worry about
* I ordered a couple of belts from Torrid because they were having a 50% off clearance sale and I basically got 3 belts for the regular price of one (I'm going to return the one I bought for my birthday because I never even wore it and it still has the tag and everything)
* I bought two jackets (a cute brown one from work and a hot pink wool coat from Old Navy)
* I caved and bought myself a Jonas Brothers fanclub membership (DON'T JUDGE ME)

and most importantly
* I clearly need to stop spending money

Because I need to save for a computer, other than bills and maybe food, I really need to NOT spend any more money for at least a month. I have some money in a savings account, but still. I'm never going to get my own place at this rate. And good Lord, do I ever want to move out of here. Minimum wage makes it hard to save though. You buy some groceries and half of your savings is gone.

In conclusion, TOMA AND A TINY PUPPY!!!!!

I made cookies to celebrate my celebrity crush's birthday. Because while I may look 24, I'm actually an 11 year old girl.



I was going to post a picspam of my favorite pictures/videos, but then I realized that I don't think I could choose. For one thing, there are just so many. And it's almost impossible for me to have a favorite.

( 25 things I love about Ikuta Toma (in no particular order because, like I said, I can't do favorites. Too much guilt.) )

And there's a lot more where that came from, but I must stop at 25.

Here's a Happy Birthday video somebody made a year ago for him. It sums up just about everything I love about him. Just watch it and see if you don't fall for his adorkable self <3

Toma's going to be in another movie!!!!

In case you can't tell who is who, Toma is the giggly one ♥


The boy is so busy these days! I just hope he gets some rest too. I think I'll watch some Hana Kimi or Voice in celebration.

I just ate like 5 pieces of pizza. For shame! But it's my day off and I haven't had pizza in forever. Of course, now I'm sick of it and never want it again, LOL.

We got a first look at Toma filming his new movie and I can't wait!! It looks so different from everything he's done so far. I'm so excited for him. And that little girl wanting his autograph was adorable ^_^

While I'm here, I also have a confession to make - I've found myself somewhat in the Jonas fandom. Their music is alright, I don't really want to go to a concert (my sister is going to one in August though), I don't care about who they're dating, I don't think any of them are hot (but I'm kind of starting to love them all)... I have watched their show on Disney but me watching a kid's show on a kid's network isn't exactly new (Drake & Josh anyone?). However, the only thing I really care about is the BFFness of Joe & Nick. If I have one weakness, it's definitely for boys who are BFFs, and the more touchy-feely the better.

Just a little history on the boys:

* Three years ago, Joe noticed that something was wrong with his brother. He tried to tell his parents, but nobody really believed him. He finally got them to listen and they found out that Nick was diabetic. When Joe heard the news, he was so scared for his little brother he passed out.
* Once, asleep in the back of the car on the way home, Joe woke up to get a bottle of water. When he looked out the back window, he saw a truck about to crash into them. Nick says that Joe then grabbed Nick and covered him with his own body. When the truck hit them, glass from the broken windows got on everyone except Nick.
* And even though they can have their own rooms, they choose to share a room and talk to each other until 5 in the morning.



Nick is laughing at the beginning because earlier Joe had hugged him during one of the 'love songs' and then he hugged him again. But the second time, Nick was ready and he pushed him off the couch and onto the floor. So Joe pounced on him ^_^

( 1 more hug!gif )

My sister and I just saw Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs in 3D today.

I spent more than I would have liked at the movies though. My dad gave us money but I ended up using my card and the cash for food. I'm just trying to be really careful about my spending right now. I did manage to resist buying something at Hot Topic though.

In even less exciting news, I slept weird on my right shoulder last night, and now it hurts when I take a deep breath. I was also finally able to shower! Yay, I don't feel all gross anymore. I don't like seeing where they made the incisions though. It still kind of creeps me out. And tomorrow I really need to call my surgeon and set up a follow-up appointment.

It's so warm in San Jose. I'm thinking of going back home tomorrow because my friend is heading back that way from Santa Cruz and she said she'd get me. My friend's baby shower is also on Saturday and I'd really like to go. I feel bad about leaving my dad's so soon though. But it would seem I don't need nearly as much taking care of as I had imagined. I do like staying here though. Maybe I'll come back after? I don't know. It's nice to stay in a big open house with a pool (even if I can't swim right now) and somebody to cook meals every day since my dad is off for the summer.

Look at his curly hair *ruffles*
