    Language barrier is really a big one. Of the people that complained about the language, their reasoning was because they wanted to be able to understand the lyrics.

     

    Granted, I've learned that the best way to hook those interested in listening to jrock isn't through just playing the songs or show them the music videos. No, the best way, in my opinion, is to show them a live performance. Because that really shows off their skills and stage presence the best. <3

    ^Plot twist: they're all feminists protesting the patriarchy by showing that female rock bands can make more money and get away with more nonsense if they pretend to be men pretending to be women instead of actual women. It's all coming together! :wan-16:

     

    I like you. That would be the funniest thing ever. <3

    Necro bump I wanted to revive this, so here: Plastic tree, Luna sea, Kuroyume, LOUDNESS, and Pierrot. All of which I'm interested in but I didn't want just because their discography are just so big to tackle. Any recommendations? 

     
     

    I can't give much advice on the other bands (because they're on my list too), but as for PIERROT, most people I've met and introduced PIERROT to swears up and down that Private Enemy's their best album, though I personally like Heaven ~the customized landscape~ and FINALE more. The Freeze album is, to put it nicely, an acquired taste. Doesn't mean it's bad, just that I haven't found a person that thought Freeze was a good album. Same goes for ID Attack.

    Speaking of bands that are popular/respected/legendary that I haven't listened to or have only heard a track or two from:
    Plastic Tree (my intro to them was Baka ni natta no ni. Liked it, but haven't gone searching for more of their stuff and I'd like to)
    Kuroyume
    LOUDNESS
    Buck-Tick
    Luna Sea
    D'espairsRay (They're popular and I see so many on here singing their praises that I feel embarrassed for admitting I haven't heard their stuff)
    Actually, make that every good vk band that has gotten popular since 2007 or so
    Maximum the Hormone

    X Japan (only listened to Dahlia)

    The Griffon's Market CD. I don't regret getting it for the CRims tracks, but everything else kind of made me go WTF. I honestly would have been happier if it was just a whole CRims album and nothing else. And buying a CD for two tracks out of eight is kind of... yeah. -_-;

    I... haven't read any new jrock fanfics in ages, to be honest. Although I do still read fanfics, I kind of branched out quite a bit beyond jrock. But when I did read jrock fics, it was mainly either Dir en grey or PIERROT fics. I did write a few PIERROT fics, though they're all somewhere on different LiveJournal communities. I haven't bothered looking for most of them, to be honest. ^^;;;;;;

    I usually do the soaking method, I love pinto beans but haven't come across canned pinto beans.  

     

    Dry beans that you gotta soak overnight, I don't know many brazilians that eat canned beans? Most of us are born with a pressure cooker and a bag of beans. Not burning them in a normal pan is an ancient art that takes years to master. Maybe I should give canned ones a try more often.

     

    LOL! I feel the same way about my fellow Cubans, where I feel that not having a pressure cooker in the house is just asking for trouble. Well, a different kind of trouble than using a pressure cooker in the first place. XD

    Canned black beans are fine, especially if seasoned with sugar, vinegar, and olive oil to give it the flavor it needs. The other beans I tend to run into are either red beans or garbanzo beans, but I'm picky about the last two (because they like to throw in veggie pieces, especially onions, and I hate veggies in my beans).

    I don't have the courage to try the pressure cooker. I've heard of people dying because it exploded. So for now I've been trying to cook my beans on the stove, I fail every time. It's the only thing I just can't seem to get right. :'(

    I've mastered cooking rice on  the stove, but the beans... 

     
     

    I've seen photos of mass destruction concerning pressure cookers and I don't know how both my mom and grandma manage it. Admittedly, my mom's also the kind of person that likes stuff done quickly, so she'll get the canned Conchita black beans most of the time, just because doing the beans from scratch requires them soaking overnight before cooking them the next day without a pressure cooker. With it, the soaking isn't required.

    EDIT: Needed to correct myself on the cooking methods. ^^;;;

    I like cooking, but only when I'm in the mood for it. It's when others ask me to cook that I get kind of surly about it. But I can pretty much almost make everything my mom taught me, from her fruit salad to black beans off the pressure cooker (something I'm not interested in trying completely all by myself, simply because using a pressure cooker scares me) to cooking rice straight off a stove when the rice cooker's broken.

    Though, these days, the most I cook are ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches, with the eggs over-easy so that the yolk gets all over the inside and edges of the sandwich. xD

    I'd suggest you ignore @wildjokerleiaand have a talk with your boyfriend, because it looks like there's a chance he might be suffering from depression. Laziness, letting go of proper hygiene habits and constant drinking? Yeah.

     

    I agree with Saishuu on speaking with him regardless. My advice may have been a little too harsh on the matter.

    My boyfriend has become so lazy and has let his hygiene go...

    He also has been drinking too much... He's intoxicated like 90% of the time.

     

    Fucking hard to deal with. How do you tell your bf he's let himself go? lol

     

    Sometimes, the best you can do is cut him off. If he isn't willing to change, he might drag you down with him. However, if you want to tell him about it, then just be straightforward and direct. But be prepared for an argument/fight, just in case.
