Fandemonium
I saw this coming...I KNEW avex is gonna juice DAI's popularity one last time before they go separate ways (which technically, they already have). I'm having SUCH a hard time deciding what to get & what not to get...originally I only wanted the supporters album, but after discussing with Ayami, we both agreed that the album will probably end up having mostly single songs, & that wouldn't be much different from "Do The A-side", would it...not to mention I'm pretty sure I already have all the good non-single DAI songs covered on an album or two. As for the instrumental album...can you say BIG RIP-OFF?? =P I wouldn't even consider listening to it unless they do all new, acoustic versions of their hits...
But I'm really, REALLY leaning towards buying the album box set. Granted, I have most of the albums already, but some of them aren't Japanese versions. And the DVD is just too appealing...geex I feel so spoiled buying such a big (& somewhat useless) purchase but I know I'll regret it if I don't...
The only thing I know I'll be getting for sure is the final concert DVD. I still haven't watched the TV version I downloaded earlier 'cause I know I'm not ready. I might as well wait for the DVD then. And I don't think I'll get the one that comes with a T-shirt...unless it's very very cool.
AHHHHH what to do. Inputs would be greatly appreciated.
(To those who's been trying to persuade me into buying it, just stop already. I GET YOUR POINT. You know who you are. =P)

Tarnished Silver
SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED. Having just finished watching the women's final at the Australian Open half an hour ago, I'm still annoyed by the outcome. First off, I think I was one of the very few people who actually rooted for Mauresmo instead of Henin-Hardenne, so I'm happy that she won; the problem is, she didn't win the right way. She was robbed of a championship point, robbed of the moment when she falls on her knees & realizes that she has outplayed her opponent. I've always been a fan of Henin-Hardenne also, what an amazing player of such resilience (to come back after losing the first set in 2 consecutive matches?? Quite the feat). But for her to quit without a proper explanation (she was clearly not injured physically) took away some of my respect for her. I'm sure she must've felt pretty darn sick in order for her to decide that she's willing to surrender the title after working so hard to get to the finals. It's very sad & I feel bad for her too. But to think that this is Mauresmo's first Grand Slam & that she doesn't a final score to show, is a shame - & she was only 4 games away.
Interesting how Mauresmo has won 3 of her matches in this tournament by default. I jokingly said that she must've placed a curse on her opponents, lol. Either way, Mauresmo had a great run & I think her title is more than deserving. I believe that she would've beaten everyone anyway even without all the retirements. I can't wait to see what she has to offer for the rest of the year (& may I just say that she has the best tennis dress out of everyone??).
Tomorrow's men's final better be good, 'cause this one just sucked. =P And I'm gonna sleep early & then wake up at 3:30 just to catch it live. It'll be my last night of staying up after a week of very little sleep...=P GO ROGER!!
P.S. Oh & Kimmy, get well soon!!
P.P.S. ...& I want this. =P

Food Or Sex?
I was just browsing the web for omelette recipes (What?? So I love eggs, sue me), & this is what I found. I'll admit, I was attracted by its name at first, but as I went on to read the instructions, I started to wonder whether this was a joke, lol (though in theory it should taste pretty darn good). Is that how people talk in the land down under?? =P

Pop Star
Got my "Utabaka" today (ordered it along with "(miss)understood", which is why it didn't get here until now), & took some pictures. The CD designs are awesome. xD I have yet to watch the DVD though...will probably do it tomorrow during my day off. I did, however, watch "(miss)understood"'s DVD. And I must say I'm loving the album all over again after seeing it. The makings are just WAY cool...& I still love "STEP you"'s PV. *o*
P.S. Coincidentally, today's Ken's birthday. ;)

Stuck On You
Warning: The following entry contains sappy material & scenes of lameass-ness. Reader discretion is advised.
You know what?? You're like glue - at critical times like these where I'm about to break, you're the one thing that keeps me from falling apart. And what's more, is that sniffing you can become addictive. AHAHAHAHA.
(Please forgive me for trying to humour myself. xP)

If Eyes Could Talk
"Say it."
"No, YOU say it."
Ah, how cute. But also annoying. xP
I really can't wait.

Call Waiting
So, I've been wanting this phone, the Sharp Vodafone V903SH for a while...a while meaning since I first laid eyes on it this summer, lol. I just never wanted it as bad as I do now, after discussing cell phones with Katie earlier today (damn you man, damn you =P). Must get when I go back to HK next time, which I hope is soon. <sigh>
(That's right, it's also a 3.2 megapixel digital camera, an mp3 player, AND a video player...DA-AMN)
