I just finished a series I've been watching called, 'My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho,' and I'm stuck in that funk that always comes when I've finished something. I'm sure it didn't help that most of the last episode was really sad. I cried. I admit it. I even watched the last episode over right after I'd finished it the first time because it had been done so well, and also, because I just wasn't ready to let it go yet.
The show wasn't one of my favorites. I didn't watch it every day hoping that another episode would be posted and often didn't even catch up all the way when there were a few new shows for me to watch, but I still enjoyed it. I didn't particularly like the main male character in the beginning. I liked the 'bad' guy better because he was holy crap beautiful. Then I realized that pretty guy couldn't act very well so the show was relegated to 'when I have nothing else to watch' status.
But the main guy grew on me and, I don't know when it happened, but I fell for him. I wanted so badly for him and the main girl character to be together, and be happy. I guess I'm just like every other girl raised on fairy tales. I want a happy ending.
I did get a happy ending,supposedly, but it was still an ending. Even when I know that something is ending, even when I know when it ends before I even begin it, the end always catches me off guard. There have been very few series (books or shows) that don't leave me... sad at the end. I think I've explained it in an earlier blog, but I miss them. I miss the characters that I've come to love, or love to hate. I miss our experiences together. I feel like my best friends are moving to a different country and I'll never see them again. All I have left are memories. And my memory being what it is, it's not a good feeling.
So, I spent a couple hours this morning watching and crying over 'My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho,' and I think my mood isn't going to be improving much until at least tomorrow. I don't know why I put myself through this sort of thing. I guess the only way to avoid it would be if I stopped reading and watching shows, and I'm just not willing to do that; even though it causes me pain in the end. The happy times were worth it. At least, that's what I'm going to keep telling myself until I feel better about the end of 'Gumiho.'

Simple Pleasures
Have you ever put ice in your glass, then put in water or what have you, and the ice stays on the bottom of the cup? I love when that happens! I don't know why, but it just amuses me to no end. I guess I think of the reasons the ice is stuck to the cup and then I just enjoy the anticipation until the ice breaks its bonds and floats to the top in a rush. Plus! I get to enjoy a nice cold drink while all the entertainment is going on. ~Laughs~
Ok, you, who are sitting there thinking, 'wow, this girl is stupid,' or some other insult having to do with my intelligence, shut up. I take almost as much pleasure in watching Newton's Laws Of Motion in action or solving riddles, puzzles and math problems, I just happen to have simple pleasures too. I also like playing with static electricity and imperfect reflective surfaces.
I like sticking things to the wall or my hair, or whatever with static. I like waiting til it falls and then doing it again. I also like building up the static and then touching something in the dark so that I can watch the electricity jump. It's interesting to watch the electricity pass from my finger to whatever.
And it's immensely entertaining to stand in front of some wavy, shiny surface and move around so that you get a lot of different views and distortions of your surroundings. It helps remind me not to take anything at face value but to look for different angles and different points of view. It also just looks funny!

Learning Korean
Ok, before anyone gets all excited over the title to this post, let me just remind you that I also wanted to learn Japanese. That was for how many years? (8 years, but who's counting?) And how far along did I get with that ambition? (5 words, but seriously, who's counting?) So as much as I'd really like to know the language, it's probably not going to happen.
I'm in the process of memorizing two songs but have several more that I'm thinking about adding to the list. Both current projects are DBSK songs. The first is 'Why Did I Fall In Love With You?' Learning Korean wouldn't help with this one because the Korean band sings it in Japanese. ~sighs~ But the second song is 'Balloons' which is in Korean. I want to know the language, not only because knowing the language makes memorizing songs so much easier, but also for the shows I watch.
It's unbelievably frustrating when the next episode to the show you've been following rabidly is out, but the subtitles are not done yet! You can still watch the episode, but then you have this half understanding, everything is spoiled because I know what's going to happen but I don't know what's happening, kinda feeling. Example? Sungkyunkwan Scandal. I know that DaeMul finds out that Golho is the masked guy and that Micky is being really cold to him, and that Micky thinks he sees DaeMul and Golho during an intimate moment. I know that DaeMul and Golho are put on some kind of trial and Micky has something to do with it. But I don't know what's going on and it's frustrating.
If I knew Korean, I wouldn't have to wait for subtitles and I would have memorized 4 songs by now instead of struggling slowly through the two I like best. Plus! (and this one doesn't matter much, but it looks good to throw in here) being bilingual looks good on your resume.
I did look up some Korean lessons on youtube. I learned 'hello' (hanyung ...something) 'I am Amber' (joneun amber imnida), and then came here. Yeah, not impressive, but that's so me!
Sorry there are no pictures. I know they make blogs so much more interesting, but I just don't have the energy to put into that kind of effort right now. Besides, you have enough information to look up these things on your own if you were inclined to do so. Stop being lazy like me and look it up yourself! Or go without. Either way. Heh.

Randomness Continued
The speed of dark is the speed of light leaving the room. Is, then, light ceding? Since it's so much harder to create light than dark, is not darkness stronger?
Is night vision something you can get better at with practise? If I can't see very well at night, would spending more time in the dark help my night vision improve, or is it something that some people have and some people don't, like good day vision?
Creation is, in my opinion, a misnomer when it comes to human beings. Because, really, we don't create. We transform. Never, in the history of man, has anyone ever 'created' something. That would mean that they had absolutely nothing and then made something. Isn't it more accurate to say that people take raw materials and transform those materials into something new? For instance, no one's ever created a painting. People just take paint, which was made from...I don't know, stuff? and spread it around on (insert medium here *canvas, paper, wood, ceramics). Wah-la! A painting. You didn't actually 'make' anything!
Veronica was talking about ...something that's not really that important today. The story I want to tell is about how she said, "I mean, if worse comes to shove..." which was, of course, hilarious to me. "Did you just say, 'worse come to shove?'" And she looked completely confused, like she didn't know why I was laughing. Then the 'Ah-ha!' moment hit her and she laughed too.
A little known fact: We didn't drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We dropped Chuck Norris.
I blame 'global warming' (in ''s because global warming is a poopy myth [don't laugh at my use of 'poopy.' This is a family friendly blog!]) on vegetarians who are eating all the plants that take CO2 from the air and make it into oxygen. We meat eaters are the true environmentalists! We're eating the cows that produce so much of the carbon dioxide that is polluting our atmosphere.
Boycott shampoo! Demand real poo! (my apologies if I've already shared that little jewel in a previous. I just think it's funny.)
I got myself a wedding ring. It's white gold and the diamond is impressive. I did it because I don't think that married women should be the only ones who get to wear that particular piece of jewelery. I'm liberated! (I'm not a feminist even if I'm making myself sound that way right now) I don't have to wait for a man to buy me a pretty ring! Forget that. I'll just get one myself!

Great America
Because my precious room mate worked for Great America theme park, she got some free tickets. We spent the day there, riding the rides and walking around. I 'ew-ed' every time I saw a fake spider, and there were hundreds, let me assure you. Poor Veronica. There were creepy clowns and ghosts and lots of spiders and spider webs. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Flight Deck was my favorite ride. It kinda reminded me of the Batman at Magic Mountain because you hang under the track instead of sitting on top of it. My second favorite was the Drop Zone, which is the one where they hoist you way, way up and than let you drop. I had to ride that one alone because Veronica would not go with me. Both times I rode this one I questioned my sanity when I was about half way up the pole thing. The view from the top was breath taking... or maybe that was the anticipation. They did that thing where they let you sit there for a few seconds, just waiting for the release and the plummet down toward the ground. The anticipation is almost as scary as the fall itself. You're so high up and you know that your stomach is about to rise up into your throat and there's nothing to stop your fall except this machine that you're just praying is going to work right. Both times I rode this I wondered to myself, 'Why do I like this ride? Do I like this ride? What is possessing me to want to be scared to death?' And then the fall, the scream, the nearly nauseous feeling of weightlessness, and the unbelievable flood of relief when you finally feel the seat slowing down and you know that you've survived to wonder why in the world you rode that darn ride.
Veronica ended up feeling sick. Motion sickness, apparently. Hehehe. I was able to ride all the spinny, circly rides without getting sick, though I did get a head ache on a ride called the Demon. My head kept banging against the thinly padded harness and the strain from trying to keep my head still didn't help, but that was the only thing that kept the day from being totally pain free.
While I was in the bathroom I found a bruise on my knee. It's kinda big and already yellowing, and I have absolutely NO idea how it got there. What have I banged my knee into within the last week?? I don't remember! You'd think that a bruise that big would have been caused by something pretty painful, and that I'd remember getting hurt like that...but no. It's a mystery.
Since the tape deck in my car has been malfunctioning and the way home was mostly mountainy and middle of nowhere-y, we didn't have any music or radio, so I sang. The whole 2 and a half hours. Luckily for Veronica, she passed out half an hour into the drive and didn't wake up until we were almost home. I made a concerted effort to only sing english songs. At first it was great, piece of cake, no problem. By the time we got close to Merced I had been reduced to singing bits and snippets of songs that I didn't really know, but knew a line or two, or was embarrassed to know. I'm proud to say I did NOT have to resort to Christmas songs, Yay! But still. You know you're getting desperate when you're singing, 'la la la, duh duh duh, something...' for about fifteen minutes straight in what you think MIGHT be the right tune to a song you kinda remember from that one time at the one place that you did with that one person? Yeah. ~Laughs~
And that was my day. I'll post pictures when I feel like it. ~Smiles~ Hold your breath!

Korea Vs Japan
I almost hesitate to say this because it is a little sad and is only a newly formed idea that may yet pass and then everything will be ok. But since it is my blog and I can always change my mind later, I've decided to write in order to perhaps organize my thoughts.
Veronica and I were surfing youtube again, as has become an almost nightly ritual, watching the various korean boy bands we've come to enjoy and looking for one lost music video in particular, when she types in 'Gackt.'
It was a little stray from our normal routine but I welcomed it since I've always thought Gackt gorgeous and talented (as long as he kept his seizure-like dancing to a minimum). The first song of his that we watched was Ghost, which is one of my favorite solo Gackt songs. I'm posting it just so people who don't follow Japanese music know what I'm talking about.
(Side note: This song was used as the opening for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in Japan)
I couldn't help think, 'Wow, Gackt's getting older. He's not as drop dead gorgeous as I remember him being.'
And then it got worse from there. We watched a couple more of his songs because Veronica is a big fan of his. I didn't really like the music or his style. His voice is ok, but the songs themselves were forgettable. I winced every time I saw his hair and sighed over the amount of jewelery he wears. And from there we went on to Hyde, which is another big Japanese singer and the whole time we watched him I was thinking, 'Wow, he looks REALLY old, and not cute...and ew, they're smoking. They're not dancing.' He's really short, unattractive, his hair is horrible, and his songs were not interesting.
I'm not posting anything from Hyde. If you want to see his stuff you're going to have to look for it.
And the realization hit me. My fascination for Japan has dwindled to almost nothing! I still enjoy anime when it's on but I don't look for it like I used to and have not been able to finish the last couple shows I've tried to watch. I haven't sought out any new Japanese bands since the members of Malice Mizer went on to solo careers. And other than the odd movie or show a Korean person shows up in, I don't watch any of their live action stuff either.
Don't get me wrong, I still love animes like Fruits Basket and Oran High Host Club along with Rorouni Kenshin and a few others, but it's just not a passion like it used to be.
Now, when I'm looking for something to watch or listen to I go straight to Korea. It's their shows and their music that I have in my head all day. I find their guys cuter, for the most part. This represents a HUGE shift in my perceptions and I'm not sure I'm happy about it. It's...different.
To other people, people who never shared my love for Japanese things, the shift is probably inconsequential. I changed from liking one asian country to another asian country. Woopty do. But it's big to me. So many years of my life were spent wanting to go to Japan, wanting to immerse myself in their culture, language, pop-culture. It's weird to realize that I've apparently moved past it. It's such a big change that I don't know if I really know myself anymore. What else has changed that I haven't even realized yet?
It's just so...weird.

Super Junior
Hello. It's me again! Well, of course it's me, it's my blog! Anyway. Alright, having ranted and raved about my beloved DBSK and SHINee, it is time to move on to Super Junior! ~Sound trumpets~ Despite the slightly more extravagant fanfare and having saved them for last, Super Junior is not my favorite band. In fact, of the three, they are my least favorite, but I like them very much. Their songs have so much energy and are incredibly entertaining. Even so, the thing that makes me most impressed with them is the number of guys in their group. While DBSK and SHINee have the normal amount of 5 each, Super Junior has 13! 13!! I can imagine the choreographer's hair turning white at the thought. With all the large dance moves these Korean boy bands seem to prefer, how are you going to make it work with 13, all at once? Well, Super Junior tackled the problem and came up with a remarkably wonderful solution.
The song that originally hooked me was Sorry Sorry, and the reason is because it was referenced in my all time favorite show, You're Beautiful. Manager Ma, the coordinator and Mi Nam do a small portion of this dance (all in Manager Ma's head when he was trying to figure out how to keep Tae Kyung from telling everyone that Mi Nam was a girl) and then later, there is a scene where Mi Nam, who has lived in a convent her whole life is trying to get up to date on pop culture and names all 13 of the Super Junior boys. Without further ado, Sorry Sorry.
After having watched this video, I quickly added "Wipe the Shoe" to my repertoire of stupid dance moves that I break out when being a goof (It joins other infamous moves like the Shopping Cart, Driving the Bus, Fax machine etc.).
My favorite part of this video has to be during the, 'bah bah bah baba, bah bah bababa" part where they have their arms crossed over their chests and they do the leaning back thing. When they stand up straight and then walk to the right just so they can start doing it again away from the wall, I just crack up every time! I think I've spent more time on the floor watching this than any other video save Balloons (DBSK). I also enjoyed their tutting as it is a form of dance I've come to find enjoyable to watch.
After that, I moved on to Boom Boom. I find it unbelievably catchy and often find myself humming it throughout the day. This song apparently doesn't have an official music video, but some nice people who have way too much time on their hands were nice enough to splice a bunch of Super Junior's other videos together to make one. So while this one that I'm posting is done by an obvious amature, it's far better than I'm sure I would have been able to do, and it gives you something interesting to watch while you listen to the song.
Who can resist a song when they sing 'twinkle twinkle, little star' in it?? Not me!
I want to mention their song called Wonder Boy here even though I'm not going to post it. I'm not in love with the song, but their music video has a dancing panda in it so it required at Least an honorable mention here.
The last song I'm going to post is called Bonamana and it's another catchy one.
I especially like their speed skater move. ~Laughs~
I have to wonder privately if they aren't my favorite simply because there are too many of them for me to form any attachment to them in particular. I love DBSK because Hero and Max are just too cute, and Micky is an awesome character in SungKyunKwan Scandal. I really like SHINee because Taemin is gorgeous and...well, who am I kidding, all the boys in SHINee are drool worthy, but Taemin reminds me of some one I used to have strong feelings for so that sealed the deal for that band. There are just so many people in Super Junior that I don't know any of their names and I can't tell any of them apart. But there are more Super Junior songs that I like than either of the other bands produced. Aw, who cares? The order in which you favor a band doesn't have to be logical! Oh good, now that I've worked that out, I feel much better.
Look forward to my next posting! (Though I'm not sure what it's going to be about. Maybe Jeremy's band? Eh...)

The last song I'm going to post is called Bonamana and it's another catchy one.
I especially like their speed skater move. ~Laughs~
I have to wonder privately if they aren't my favorite simply because there are too many of them for me to form any attachment to them in particular. I love DBSK because Hero and Max are just too cute, and Micky is an awesome character in SungKyunKwan Scandal. I really like SHINee because Taemin is gorgeous and...well, who am I kidding, all the boys in SHINee are drool worthy, but Taemin reminds me of some one I used to have strong feelings for so that sealed the deal for that band. There are just so many people in Super Junior that I don't know any of their names and I can't tell any of them apart. But there are more Super Junior songs that I like than either of the other bands produced. Aw, who cares? The order in which you favor a band doesn't have to be logical! Oh good, now that I've worked that out, I feel much better.
Look forward to my next posting! (Though I'm not sure what it's going to be about. Maybe Jeremy's band? Eh...)
