Trailer for Seaside Motel is out!!
Mar. 6th, 2010 01:48 amAs 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.
When fandoms (and cultures) collide...
Feb. 26th, 2010 01:25 amAs I said on Twitter "Jude Law just called Toma a good actor and Toma said 'Sank you.' BRB dying of lolz and too many *hearts* in my eyes."
( This was all just so surreal to watch. )

Feb. 12th, 2010 11:24 pmI 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.

Merry Christmas to me!
The only thing better would be if the movie was actually released today.
I'm so proud of him. He looks like a real, proper actor. Which he is, but Jdramas aren't necessarily the best way to show that off. 2010 will be a fantastic year full of Toma goodness. At least 3 movies and hopefully another drama or two. Waiting for subs is going to be the death of me though.

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.
Joe approved!
Dec. 19th, 2009 09:59 pmToday was a good day. Apparently some cute guy checked me out/flirted with me today at work. However, I had no idea because I'm clueless like that. He bought a gift card, and after he left my boss was like "That guy was totally checking you out." And I made this face 0_0 She said she saw him looking at me and he noticed her looking at him (looking at me). She said she was telling me in her head "Look up. Smile." But like I said, I'm clueless in that area. When I helped him out though, I did notice that he was kind of cute. And then at Starbucks, after work, the lady taking my order called me 'beautiful' which made me :)
Also, I got out of work 2 hours earlier than originally scheduled; I had a delicious meal with my boss; I have a peppermint mocha from Starbucks; the company who owns the store I work at gave everyone a $20 VISA gift card; we're closing earlier than planned on Christmas Eve; it's almost Christmas; my dad, stepmom, and sister are coming over for Christmas Eve dinner and we're going to be watching their dog, Willy, while they're in DC (xmas to new years); I have Monday off (after having worked 7 days in a row this week); I have new Merlin and Never Mind the Buzzcocks to watch; I finally finished One Fine Day and I absolutely loved it; I'm going to be getting a new phone soon (which is good because the other day mine did some weird countdown thing and then turned itself off); I finally named my laptop Nakatsu; and there's more, but I'm too hyped up on caffeine and sugar to think properly.
If you guys really want to get me something, #1 on my Christmas list:

Also, I just sent out my Christmas cards. I've been a little distracted by RL, and I'm sorry if you get them after Christmas. But if you asked for one, you're getting one!

Dec. 10th, 2009 09:30 pmIt 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*

From Stephen Fry's Twitter: 'America should be awake now. Hope you're enjoying your holiday. There's still time to reconsider: Britain will have you back, if you behave.' ♥
So far today, my grandma has tried to run away 3 times (wrapped up a bunch of her stuff in a towel and was heading for the door) and my mom got angry and stormed out of the house. Hours later we find out she went to see New Moon.
Plus I had been crying so much last night, I woke up with a headache that won't die.
Gotta love the holidays.
There are still many things I'm thankful for. I won't go into a huge list because I'd probably forget something anyway. I will post this picture though <3

ETA: At least I have coffee and donuts now.
