Listening to: Utada | | Exodus ’04

So I come home from running errands yesterday and find out that the shelf of my bookcase that holds all my idol mags, photobooks, artbooks, etc. has collapsed under all the awesome. I’m not all that surprised about it seeing as I probably had about 10~20lbs too much stuff on it, but I just have to facepalm at the timing. I had been awake for 23 hours with only 1 hour of sleep during that time period. ughhhhhh. Everything’s stacked now though!

I really need to get another bookcase though. My OCD habits are kicking in and I just can’t have it organized like it is now for very long. shlksjglsjgklsd.

Anyway! Spoils from Kino from my past two visits (in two weeks…roflmao):

Orista! YAY! I mostly bought this for Arashi, but Miura Haruma is in it too. I’m actually not a huge fan of the Kimi ni Todoke manga (idk. I’ve only read one chapter, but it didn’t really make me interested in reading more…), but I’m totally hyping the movie! flumpool’s doing the theme! Hell yeah!

Buying this actually led to an…interesting conversation in the car.

Me: I didn’t leave with no Arashi though! I did get Orista~
Mom: Who’s Arashi?
Me: /finds picture. That’s Arashi.
Mom: Which one?
Me: …all of them?
Mom: Oh! I thought one of their names was Arashi.
Me: …WHAT.

OH, MOM. I’ve only been fangirling Arashi for like 6 years now. You’ve walked into the house while I was gleefully watching one of their concert DVDs in the living room and you don’t know who they are? Kino actually had a ton of Arashi singles/albums in (they had 6 copies of To be free…talk about tempting), but I held off for their new album. I have no idea, but I just don’t see the merit in spending $20 on a single anymore. I mean, if it’s really good that’s one thing. However, I won’t spend $20 on a single with no b-side when they have a new album coming out in 3 weeks.

I’m also ashamed of the fact that I love buying Orista for, if nothing else, the Secret of Arashi part. This issue had an interview with Nino about Ooku and GANTZ (along with CM talk, but WHO CARES ABOUT THAT? GANTZZZZZZ). Strictly speaking, more interested in GANTZ (although Ooku has Shibasaki Kou, Tamaki Hiroshi, and Okura in it too…WHY AM I NOT HYPED ABOUT THIS?). I’m giggling with fangirly glee in excitement for the movie even though I doubt it’ll be all “WTF” like the manga is. I want to know how far into the story the movie will actually go and what all they’ll change more than anything else. plz don’t try to make Kurono likeable. I like douchebag!Kurono. Although, if nothing else, Nino and Matsuken in leather suits! THIS PLOT IS RIVETING.

( Cutting this before it gets too long… )
