christmas is everywhere and i can't escape it T^T
the other day i went to hobby lobby for art supplies... most of the holiday section was christmas. insane floor to ceiling green and red glitter.
today i listened to l'arc~en~ciel's KISS album which i haven't in a long time. i was just in a laruku mood and omg i forgot there is a christmas song in there. the last track is called hurry xmas. i was humming the lyrics "christmas time has come to town" all day T^T
and just now i went to check up on gazette news~ ruki has been sick and the big tour final was on the 5th so i wanted to see what they're up to now. yeah, they have a live planned on christmas. lol and the final from the 5th was filmed and the dvd will be released in december too. i hope the winter goes by as quickly as the summer did but advertising xmas 4 months before it actually happens isn't helping.



their new look is cool like always. kai's hair is long omg and aoi's is short omg (so is uru's). reita had sleeves wow and ruki looks like a nasi, awesome. apparently the new single sounds amazing, loud and heavy. it's the theme to the japanese release for the latest fast and the furious movie. that's really cool and stupid at the same time but i like when their songs make it into movies ♥

shirts for me ~♥
meepu is awesome and i owe her a lot right now. she's living in japan for school and has been going to concerts the entire time she's been there *jealous* she went to see gazette yesterday and bought these for me~! today she's going to see mucc... again... so not fair. lol she's living my dream and i'm so happy for her ♥ the shirts are still in japan but soon they will be in my mail box ~haha~ then on my pupe ~HAHAHA~ i love it.

[DIM] the GazettE



this is waiting for me at the post office T^T
i must have slept through the mail man ringing the bell and the dog barking at him. when i woke up the mailbox was full and the orange ticket was sitting in there. i need to mail out some packages today anyway so i'll be in. i've waited how many months to hear it, one more day won't kill me.

hopefully.
-------------------------------------------

lol~ so i just finished watching the pv and the making footage and now i'm listening to the album. from what i've seen of it so far i'm really impressed. i opened the box and pulled off the bubble wrap -omg- the cover moves @_@ it has that plastic material that changes images if you move it from side to side (did i explain that right). i had no idea the jacket was like that. the album comes with a booklet that is full of really gorgeous photography. they're mostly landscapes and interiors with long dark shadows and no people.

i didn't watch the preview of the invisible wall pv so it was awesome to see that for the first time. some of the imagery was really creepy. the water dripping all over the place creeped me out somehow. it was really repetitive though... and i wish they didn't use so much english. ruki's gloves are stupid and uruha's hair is amazing. so amazing ♥

some of their songs have sounded too repetitive lately, the ballad type songs especially sound almost the same. this album has a lot more of the hard rock that i like from them. the instrumentals are really impressive too, they're really complex without sounding over the top or too distorted. the instrumentals in 13STAIRS[-]1 are so cool. uruha is amazing ♥ i don't like the vocals though T^T

oh and there are 4 songs on there that are really short - each one is under a minute - and they're just instrumentals.

i have to listen to it some more but there are a few songs on there that i like instantly. it's a strong album and i can't wait to see these songs live.

now i'm going to eat lunch and watch public enemies.

yesterday was a lame day.
what makes you think it's perfectly fine to be rude and nasty to a complete stranger? just leave me alone.

i went to the swedish days parade and carnival in lolita.
i have to stop going out after work, it makes me so sick and tired. bleh~ it was still a nice casual day though.
oh but i got to go the latest crave~ i've wanted to see the shop front and check out the cupcakes since they opened. the place is really small and cute but i'd hate to go during any peak hours. the cupcake selection is not impressive, i don't think they have anything really worth the price. there was one called a jack and jill that was like filled with fudge and a marshmallow iced in buttercream and covered with ganache. sounds really sweet. i got a red velvet which was kinda boring, it had buttercream icing and a little red chocolate garnish. i also got a chocolate cake with buttercream icing~ that one was good. the chocolate was moist and not too rich. the buttercream on both had a strong vanilla flavor too.
if i'm ever in town again i'd stop in but i'd never make a special trip for their cupcakes.



today was much better.
i got to sleep for 10 hours uninterrupted~ bliss.
i went to mitsuwa just to see what magazines they had because i feel like i haven't shopped there in a while. i'm so happy i did too, because i got this:



it was the last one on the shelf too ♥ but... why is ruki in this magazine? the first half is a just pictures of him hiding the shadows or in an alley somewhere and the second half is all about k-pop bands, adorable baby faced brightly colored korean boy bands. it was a weird contrast.

i got a really tasty roll cake too~ it was on sale. and the bakery actually had chicken salad sandwiches today. i love their chicken salad so much and i have no idea why. i think it has cucumber or something like it. their sandwiches don't have any crust either, that must be why they taste so good.

i've been wearing lolita a lot more often since the weather has been so nice. i wore it today without even thinking about it and when i pulled into the parking lot i realized what i was wearing and couldn't get out of the car. is it in really bad taste to wear something like that to a japanese store? i felt like a weeaboo but walked inside anyway... is it in bad taste to use the word weeaboo...?
i just like poofy skirts ok.



i don't wear this dress much because it's white and i have a tendency to stain anything white very easily.
it's so pretty though and i wish it fit on me nicely without underthings so i could enjoy it in the summer.

october 27, 2007

today was ruki's birthday.
i sent him a present a few days ago and today i made cookies and cupcakes (semi-unrelated).



the gift i sent was a red plaid scarf.
i've been wanting to send something the last 2 years.


the cookies are shortbread with tons of icing and sugar.

cupcakes are:
yellow with chocolate custard filling, lemon buttercream icing with glitter and hearts.
yellow with chocolate custard filling, raspberry buttercream icing with glitter and hearts.
chocolate with fudge filling, cream cheese icing with chocolate sprinkles and hearts.




i can't wait for valentine's day♥

( $400.88 )

oh happiness♥
my moo stickers finally came after more than 2 weeks waiting for them.



they're so cool but i don't know where to stick them.
originally i wanted to send them to gazemail members but now i want to keep the pretty little book for myself.
the quality of the sticker is really awesome but i don't know if it was worth the price... they are gorgeous though.

my new printer is glorious

sweeeeet - i used to love love love this show. wow, i couldn't pick a favorite episode. i think i generally liked the stand alone episodes better than the story arc ones. some of the arcs were good. i never really liked the scully getting abducted one but i did like the black oil experiments, the russians and krycek. he was so cool because he was a good guy at first then OMG totally working for the syndicate. awesome. OHHHH but he got his arm cut off. that was gross. ohhh i hated when they burned down the office... what a way to end the season. god i used to get the magazine @_@ HA and i wanted the playstation game @___@ i didn't have a system so i borrowed one and rented the game. i got killed so many times xD

ha that was such a spazzy paragraph. i used to be really excited watching the series. i taped all of the episodes every sunday night. i remember when it started getting really popular, fox would have a countdown ticker on the screen hours before the first episode of a new season began. when the first movie was released that was the epic moment of my life. i was so excited that it was on the big screen. of course i later bought the video -yes vhs- and the movie soundtrack. now that i think about it, it was a really nice fandom. i never went to any sci-fi conventions and the internet wasn't really around back then so there wasn't a flush of annoying fans like there are with my current fandoms. all of the things that i've started to like have been totally destroyed by "fans" but the x-files will never be tainted xD the new movie was kinda lame though =(

there was a car that i used to see around town, god way back in 96 or something. it had a license plate that read "x phile" i nerd laughed about every time i saw it. file, phile as in like, get it? HAAA, i love nerds. i saw the car parked somewhere and i took a picture of that license plate. i don't know where the photo is... i used to have my room decorated with x-files stuff. posters, calendars, aliens. i even cut the hair on one of my barbies and colored it red with markers. i made her different kinds of business suits and a cell phone. i don't know where she is either... i miss the x-files and i miss life being so simple.

this entry is making me sad and nostalgic now xD
