Lily Chou-Chou, Dumbo, and a llama

So I was looking at the Lily Chou-Chou fansite ’cause I couldn’t remember why I didn’t download the movie clips and now I feel like watching the movie again. ^^;;;

I also want to see Dumbo again. ^^;; What? Last year I read that it’s supposed to be a “perfect imitation of a Disney film” because Walt had nothing to do with it and yet they were able to rehash everything he’s ever done in a movie. :b And someone else said the pink elephants scene was utterly pointless dribble, but I never thought so. It scared me as a kid, but I also thought it was really entertaining. ^^

I also have to see the Emperor’s New Groove. Is that what it’s called? I was reading this Disney book in the college library on Disney storyboards, and they were talking about this movie called “Kingdom of the Sun” about an emperor who was turned into a llama. Yeah. I also want that book. Preeeetty paintings! ;.; Mum has this book on Pinocchio and the art in it. There’s an amazing painting of that bar of soap. :P

Lily Chou Chou wa SUGOI desu yo! XD

AHHH!!

O_O!!! I just saw Kill Bill. And GUESS WHAT?!!!!! I HEARD A LILY CHOU-CHOU SONG!!!!!! Omigosh XD XD XD XD!! That was sooooo coool! It made me like Kill Bill. :b (It’s a funny movie, and I liked Lucy Liu ^-^ but still not up to my tastes.)

At the lilyphilia board they said it’s the song Kaifuku Suru Kizu, or Wound That Heals. It’s in the scene where she’s lookin’ at the swords. Wooo! :D

Yeah, anyway. ^^;; I thought that was uber cool.

[edit] *cough* Sorry. I forgot this. ^^ IMDb put up a page for Lily Chou-Chou as a composer. Not bad for a fictional character, eh? XD XD [/edit]

I wait in the shadows

Last night, I found this program on the International Channel (I waaant! but it’s part of an extra package with Comcast T-T). It was showing music videos. I think they were all Korean but I couldn’t really tell. ^^;; Yeah. Asian rappers! O_O It was scaary …

OOH! And I saw the last half minute of a BoA video!! XD (I’d changed the channel and forgot to switch back. >.>) She looks a lot older. o_O She looked like a regular 16-year-old, not an Asian 16-year-old. :b

Then there was this boygroup video … the music so seriously sounded like an Nsync song. But since I don’t listen to their songs I don’t know which one exactly. ^_~ And I don’t know if it was the same video, or another boygroup-esque video, but one of the guys looked kinda like Hoshino. XD Hoshino! T-T Poor Hoshino … *sniffles*

Then there was another video which started out interestingly enough, like a modern artistic thing or something, but then it ended up being a normal boring video with backup dancers. -.- The beginning had the singer (Park Ji Yoon) at a sewing machine, and there was this black beetle (I forget the specific species) walking around … and I’m still not quite sure what happened to the beetle. :( But that certainly would be one way to get black lipstick. :B And there was this teddy bear banging on the window … which she ended up tearing apart. Huge teddy bear. O.O Like … it took more than two men to carry it kind of big … yeah.

So. Now I’ve got Park Ji Yoon piccies to use for a new layout. :D I’m getting tired of the … I don’t know. Something about this layout. Besides, I still want a normal blog layout with a designated sidebar. I don’t really know why.

Disney; Lily songs

Walt Disney is scaaary. ;-; He had a locomotive set up around his house and one time when he was getting some ideas about Disneyland (so the book says), he jumped the tracks and crashed into the living room of his house. O_< His wife was pissed. :b Then another time he … too tired to type it out.

Is smartness a gene? … I think I’ve read too many Ralph Wiggum quotes today.

“She’s touching my special area!” “My cat’s breath smells like cat food.” “I bent my wookie.” “The doctor told me I wouldn’t have so many nosebleeds if I just kept my finger out of there.”

Ever wish you could close your eyes and just curl up inside a song? These Lily Chou-Chou songs make me feel like that. It’s odd. I still love that movie. Well maybe not love. But … o_o! Yeah. I wanna see Battle Royale. Some site said there’s a Battle Royale II in production. O.o Well anyway. I guess I’d have to buy the movie. ‘Cause how many video rental stores have a modern disturbing Japanese film on their shelves?

-.- And apparently … I am not getting it. $37 minimum. Nuh-uh. I don’t care if people say AALCC is a copy. I ain’t paying that much. …

I keep picturing the people in AALCC listening to Lily. ^^;;; Woooow, niice. *sigh* Now Battle Royale is buggin’ me like heck. -_- Oi. I owe Mommy $25 for the Ai Yazawa artbook. Don’t know why I bought it. The scanner’s not good at all. Well, it’s adequate for normal scanning. But not scanning art and stuff. Yuck. Also Mommy wants a legal size scanner. XP W00t! Support my side! Um. But I know nothing about scanners.

“Ai no jikken” whatever jikken means. Experiment. Ah. O_o *ahem* Remind me to translate Lily Chou-Chou lyrics.

Pardon my … oddities, but in one song, it sounds like she sings “death like life.” ^^; I don’t have the lyrics for all 9 songs, so i don’t know.

I also want the rest of Paradise Kiss. $30. Fun.

SLD, Cardigans, and Riri Shushu

Wooow … I guess I just don’t feel like talking on and on. ^.^ Haven’t written that much in lj or dland or a secret log I started up recently either. o.o

Ah well. Let’s see what I can talk about. I don’t know. Oh. My group’s sld on Thursday rocked! XD (SLD = Student-Led Discussion) We barely said anything! The discussion just jumped up and ran. XDDD The prof: “There were times when barely anyone talked, and now everyone is talking all at once … couldn’t we have a happy medium where everyone talks … but not all at once?” Ahhh!! Sho cool! :D:D

And I got The Cardigans’ new album, Long Gone Before Daylight. *dances all over the room* It’s wonderful! They’ve matured nicely. Haha. It’s not like any of their other albums. It is rather folksy, like someone said on the forum. But not too bad, I don’t think. Then again, Daddy was tapping his foot to the music, so there’s gotta be something wrong there. :b (Daddy likes country and stuff.) I think I like the songs Communication and And Then You Kissed Me the most (although ATYKM is about an abusive relationship …).

I also got All About Lily Chou-Chou. YAYAYAYAY!!! :D Such a gooood movie!! ^___^ Also a very bad movie. o_o Should be rated R. I didn’t know that when I first started watching. ^.^ I assumed it was PG-13 or something. Japan is hooorrible now! ;_; Well, I can’t assume it’s like that everywhere, right? *hopes and prays*

It was funny, at the beginning, Yuichi was caught stealing Lily Chou-Chou’s newest album, and when his mom came into the office to talk to the teacher who fixed the problem (o_o that was weird, too) and another teacher and was told that Yuichi was stealing, she just jumped up and started beating him with her purse. O_O I thought that was funneee! ^.^;;;

Then Mommy started explaining to me, even though I knew this (it was why I started laughing ^_^;;;), that stealing is horrible, horrible, and that Yuichi is now DIRT because of that. Lower than dirt, if that’s possible. And because he’s dirt, his mom is dirt, because she’s related to him, she brought him up, she’s lived with him, etc. etc., she hasn’t brought him up to STEAL. And now their neighbors will ostracize them and everything. Japan is weird. I love it. Then the other teacher, after he calmed her down, said it wasn’t such a big thing, a lot of kids steal. o.o;

I <3 Yuichi and Hoshino and Tsuda and Kuno. ^____^ *sniffle* Everyone see the movie. Unless you’re under 17. ._.;

Ah. I also got all the Lily Chou-Chou songs in mp3 format. XDDD Although I wish I could buy the CD. :( Guess I’ll just burn my own …
