I got around to listening to AK-47's 2008 album and I actually enjoyed it. Their previous one had terrible production and generally was very unpleasing, but they've definitely improved. Chinese bands release albums too slowly D: It sucks when you get really into a band because of one album and knowing there's like another 3, 4 years before the next. I need some new stuff from the bands I like!

I can't wait for the winter Olympics just so I can stop seeing the fucking commercials for it. They've been showing them for probably over a year now. I'm not even joking. And I'm tired of athletes asking me if I believe! It just needs to stop. I think we're all aware Vancouver's getting the games by now.

I love this commercial XD


I've been invited to go to Slovakia and Poland during my spring break. I don't know if I mentioned it, but friends of the family's daughter is teaching English in Slovakia and my parents said they asked me to come along when they go visit her. I wouldn't mind seeing Slovakia, but it's Poland I'd really like to go to and I could take lots of pics for my grandpa to show him what it's like there now. They're going to be going to Auschwitz :O That would be such an experience. My parents said they'd pay for my flight and really want me to go, but I dunno...

New Lady GaGa is fucking awesome. Well, the single's been out for a bit, but I've continually had it on repeat. Love the video, too. Well, not so much the beginning, but we can excuse that. I think I actually like Bad Romance more than anything off The Fame, and that album had some great tracks.

I'm still in Beatles-mode hahaha. They're just so good and entertaining. I have to listen to more solo work though. I love Paul McCartney (and McCartney & Wings), John Lennon's stuff is generally not to my taste, although he had some great songs, but I haven't check out George or Ringo yet. My sister and I are two very different fans. She loves John and hates Ringo; I love Paul and also love Ringo lol :P Even song-wise. I mean, there's those key Beatles tracks that like, everyone loves, but we do differ quite a bit in our taste.

This is how I feel about school right now (I won't even get into details about everything):

This is really cool: Chinese music/rock awards. Miserable Faith won a lot of the categories, including album of the year. I absolutely love that album of theirs ♥ Helen won in the female singer category, which is also awesome. Not particularly fond of the other nominees. But, I object to AK-47 getting best metal performance. I've actually only heard their second album, but it generally wasn't too pleasant; meanwhile, Voodoo Kungfu are killer; I'd choose Ordnance over AK-47, too. Hell, even Suffocated are better. Dude from Honey Gun and Spring Autumn also won a category and both those bands are good, so that's nice.

Worked four hours today. Fridays are pretty painful. All day tomorrow and then a couple of my friends are getting together and we're gonna watch some scary movies. Hopefully it'll be fun.

I did some serious shopping tonight: a black sweater and a red sweater from Dynamite, grey pants, a pink tanktop and a grey/pink striped sweater from Garage, a book from Chapters, flats and sunglasses from Payless (they had a really good sale on) and some underwear. I spent too much money lol.

So, after a month and eight days of waiting, I finally have it!

( And your bird is green )

I also bought Paul McCartney & Wing's Band on the Run album. Fucking amazing. Fucking. Amazing.

This is my desktop right now ♥


Just finished listening to the 2009 Super Girl compilation album. Really liked it. I wasn't expecting to, but generally all the songs were good.

I have so much schoolwork to do. So much D: D:

For my Holocaust class, we had to watch this film called Nuit et Brouillard (Night and Fog) which was horribly depressing. Like, I honestly had to look away at certain points. It's only half an hour, so if you're interested in it, here it is with English subs. We were discussing it in class and it's pretty interesting. The title comes from the German term 'Nacht und Nebel' which is literally 'night and fog', but means to do something in secrecy and was a term (along with many others) adapted by the Nazis for the killing of the Jews. I'll stop before I ramble lol.

I'm on an Ayu kick right now. It's been a while, but I get nostalgic listening to her stuff. Memorial address came out in 2003! 2003! It doesn't feel like it was six years ago ;_; I started listening to her in 2002, so RAINBOW was the first album she released when I was a fan and I was like, so fucking excited for that omg. My interest started dwindling after MY STORY was released and I don't think she'll be able to restore my love for her an artist. Her songs and lyrics are crappy rehashes of what she's done before and her voice is pretty awful. Regardless, she still manages to put out a good track every once and a while.

New Superfly is really good. I actually like the PV a lot, too. Huun-Huur-Tu's new release is so damn good. The first three songs take you away to grassy steppes *_* They performed in Michigan, but last.fm didn't let me know until that day D: JASMINE's new single is good. No More sounds too much like sad to say, though. CLUBBIN' has some attitude lol. I don't think I ever talked about MiChi's album. T'was very good, indeed. And Lady GaGa's Bad Romance is also really good. But, the new Sa Ding Ding song owns all. My God, I can't wait for her next album.

I need to go through my icons and make some new ones. These are gettin' pretty old. I made a new sig for AHS. Just kept it simple: some colouring adjustments, smoothing and text. It's passable, I guess.


I only got 77% on my German exam D: Wft is that? I fucking hate that class. Had another exam today. It was better than I was expecting, but I really don't know. I might've just been writing to put stuff down :/

My first attempt at a German translation:
( Juli - November )

I was supposed to write a paper tonight. I hate being a procrastinator :(

Firstly, I want Tatsurou's hair. And Miya is looking pretty darn good himself. I listened to Tonbi the other day; I haven't listened to MUCC in so long (excluding listening to Kyuutai not long ago because it was like the only thing on my laptop). That song is so incredibly good, but I'm still not compelled to listen to them right now. The time will come lol.

So, we are having XBox issues, or something. We bought an XBox 360 Elite last month and it came bundled with Grand Theft Auto IV. The Beatles Rock Band works fine, but we went to play GTA the other day and it kept saying 'This disk is unreadable' a few minutes to a few seconds into the game D: Called Best Buy and I guess other people were having the same problem, so they gave us a new disc and it still didn't work. Called again and they gave us a new XBox and another new disc, saying it must have just been the XBox. It still doesn't work, but the other two games we got with the new bundle do D: Whhhhyyyy? ;_;

I bought volume seven of Family Guy on DVD this week and therefore I have spent way too much time infront of my TV. The episodes included are some of my favourites (Surfin' Bird, gay Peter, etc). Quite a few episodes are extended with scenes that were cut for TV, deleted scenes section, commentaries and other various things. I didn't know if I wanted volume 6 or 7, but I'm very happy with my choice. Ahh, that show is too funny.

Anyone else watch The Office? The wedding episode two weeks ago... I thought that was a pretty bad episode. Other than Andy crying at the dinner and like the last 10 mins, it was dull and not all that funny. The one on Thursday was good, though. Family Guy's been awesome so far, I've been enjoying The Simpsons (although I missed last week 'cause of Thanksgiving) and I don't think The Cleveland Show is as bad as people make it out to be. The first two weren't that great (but not terrible), but last week's was funny. I loled at the Cleveland Jr. bit.

I left all my homework for tomorrow :( I guess I'll only do the assignment due for Monday. And maye work on my papers. Fuck.

Sorry I haven't been commenting on anyone's journals lately. It's all school's fault, I swear. I had an exam tonight and it was all multiple choice on Scantron sheets, so we ended up getting our grades at the end of the lecture. I ended up with 90%, so I'm happy. Unfortunately, I have two exams on Thursday. Thankfully after that, I have a week off, but regardless, I fucking despise school.

Now, I shall post a bunch of totally unrelated pictures/images I really like lol.

( Randomness ensues )

I don't care if you hate this show with every fibre in your body, this scene could not be any funnier.



In related news, Seth MacFarlance quite possibly has the best voice ever. He was on Conan O'Brien the other night and I ran in to watch it, hoping he'd do some character voices, which he did, but I could have just as easily listened to him talk lol.


...omg. I came down to study and didn't even open my books. Tomorrow shall be hell.
