  1. Ah I see. Well, I really hope it doesn't go there. I've been talking to my folks throughout this and I know information can get wonky on all sides, even here. It certainly isn't something to trivialize, especially since the situation hasn't stabilized yet.


  2. Japanese authorities said 80,000 people are missing and fear the death toll will rise dramatically in the coming days.

    Rise dramatically from 1300+ confirmed dead.

    Where have you heard 80,000? That hasn't been reported here yet as far as I can understand.

    Don't get me wrong it's going to be far from the 1,000 some odd they've been saying but 80,000 is shocking and I'm just really hoping thats an inaccuracy. The numbers have being going up every hour and last I heard they're saying at least 1,600 but the tsunami haven't ended yet and they still can't reach a lot of places to be sure as well as trains and boats that haven't been recovered yet that had passengers. so if one is so concerned about measuring disaster by the numbers, there you go. =/ While it definitely could've been worst and that in itself is a blessing, saying "it's not that bad" is rather short-sighted and insensitive, especially considering it isn't over yet and the damage this is going to do will extend far beyond the upcoming days.


  3. Still getting after-shocks. Tsunami warning still in effect for those on the coast. They're saying both could be for days. I just got up so I'm not sure if chiba is still burning but other than those things I'm just thankful to be in Tokyo right now, we really got off easily when seeing whats happened in Sendai and the looming danger in fukushima. It's horrible and I can only hope things can get stabilized there. The quake was really strong down here but thankfully everything was left standing in the city and considering the scale of the quake, they say if it wasn't for the building codes it really could've been so much worst. Things are slowly beginning to run again here, trains are starting up and the airports I think at least departures are happening.


  4. I'm still not feeling the song. I mean, I like the message and all but objectively the song just isn't doing it for me. That said I really like the video but I think like Tony said, it would've been better had the song matched the grandiose vibe of it so as a complete package its kinda mismatched imo. Another small knit-pick is that while I like all the separate elements of the video I'm not sure they all go together in the best way possible or that they flowed particularly well together. One of the things about Bad Romance PV was even though all this crazy shit was going on it still flowed well, Where here I think there's a semblance of story in the beginning it kinda loses itself after a bit.

    Also correct me if I'm wrong but with the whole prosthetic thing in the video... She isn't the only one with them on, all the dancers have them too. I got that the point was so that they represented this "new race" but I understand people arguing that impressionable fans may get the wrong idea. I dunno, if I really stand either way on that though.


  5. My mom dislikes animals so we don't have any pets officially but there is a stray cat who we've been taking care of since I was a kid. She acts virtually like a dog though, running up and wagging it's tail and stuff lol

    eventually I want to own a Savannah Cat but first I need to get a place that 1) allows pets and 2) allows hybrids. One day D:

    I prefer Cats but If I were to get a dog...always wanted a Siberian Husky or an Alaskan Malamute. Unfortunately given the places I've lived doesn't seem feasible especially for a Malamute given it's size...tho I once saw a guy with an Alaskan Malamute while waiting in line to get into Ottomanelli's butcher on bleeker st. He was in line too and had it chained up and it scared the living crap out of my mom since it looked like it could've eaten a child and kept "howling" lol and given the line we were there for awhile. i wonder what kind of place he had though to be able to keep it in manhatten D:


  6. In the span of about 3 hours. (pics in spoiler)

    Starting with a salad, to feel less guilty about the fatassery that's about to go down. Followed by omg Lasagna...which is hard to come by in this country and when you do find it 9/10 it sucks hardcore...but this....this was omg


  7. One of my MAJOR pet peeves are synth strings. Seriously, If you have to use snyth strings, THEN DON'T. There are very few instances where I find them tasteful. To me, electronically generated instruments will NEVER be able to replace the real thing...so they shouldn't be used as such. Unless you're dealing with some REALLY authentic sounding electronic strings or you're one hell of a manipulator, it's going to sound pretty cheesy imo. ^^;

    This so much.

    -The whole over-vibrato thing. I hate it to my very core.

    -Screaming (growling) for screaming/"badassery" sake (especially if you're bad at it).

    -Anything about a band that incites the reaction out of me to start rolling my eyes and mocking them with an "Oh look how evil and badass we are grrr, we're so kvlt and dark and anti-establishment, fuck off mr.religion blahblah muther-fucking blah." It could be a number of things though that start that so I figure I'll just underline it with that statement.

    -The whole VK monotone thing.

    -Really shit production. Doesn't have to be perfect production but I do have a limit.

    -Someone mentioned it but the whole technical thing. It's really cool and all that you're a virtuoso but If I don't actually feel anything from your music it's pointless.

    -Auto-tune used poorly. I think Auto-tune has a place in music but when you make a song and filter all the vocals heavily in auto-tune, it's a problem.

    probably more but then I'd be late to class D:
