Because the current layout of my journal is thin, I decided to do the scan icons in a separate post. As mentioned before, these are textless icons, and I don’t mind others using them for bases as long as I am credited (please also credit me if you use them as-is).

1st batch (PVs) located here.

Comments are appreciated.

3 Cure
53 Fool's Mate
5 Gothic & Lolita Bible
2 Rock on J

I recently re-watched all of my metronome PVs and decided to make some icons from them. Because I don't want them to rot away on my computer, I'm sharing them.
By the way, I'm not terribly gifted when it comes to making graphics, so these are textless icons. I'm also okay with others using them as bases, but please credit me (also please credit me if you use them as-is), thank you.

I made some more from scans, but it'd be too big for one post, so they're located here.

Comments are appreciated.

You know how I mentioned a while ago that I seem to only get really into bands that are broken up, or I like their earlier work, or something?  Well, it's happened again.

"metronome announced at the beginning of February of 2009 they would go on indefinite pause after their one-man live at Shibuya C.C. Lemon Hall on May 31." (JaME)

TT_TT

I really liked theeeeeeem!!!!  I was seriously looking forward to seeing them live someday (since they were indie they only played in clubs, which means it'd be quite affordable)!
I guess I'll just have to settle for buying all of their CDs. -wants to support them even though they've stopped-

However, Riu & Sharaku (& Fukusuke, I think; and I never really had time to become endeared towards their drummer, Shintaro) have side projects, so I can listen to those...except neither band has released anything since '07. -sigh-

At least I have a friend irl to lament over this with.

To any fellow meto lover, it's the end of an era, ne? -virtual hugs-

さよなら、メトロノーム
(I was tempted to do a pun here with their song ｢絶望さん」)

I just watched アタシんちの男子 episode 10, and all I have to say is that I hope she didn't sleep with Shinzo-shi. ﾄﾞ━━━(ﾟﾛﾟ;)━━ﾝ!!

If you haven't watched this show yet, I highly recommend it.  The final episode (11) airs Tuesday (GiriGiri's softsubbing and TimeLess is supposedly hardsubbing, though they haven't gotten past episode 3 even thought GirGiri is done to 10 -sigh-).  I totally didn't think I'd get that into it (it was kind of a side show to fill in the time between Smile & TQS for me), but I ended up liking it possibly the best out of all the shows I'm watching this season (which is damn near all of 'em)!  Plus, who can turn down a show with Horikita Maki, Kaname Jun, Mukai Osamu, & Yamamoto Yusuke (plus a catchy theme song)?  Not I, my dear sir(/lady)(s/-ies), not I.

(The title is from the only funny part of Conan O'Brian's show, or rather his previous show.  I already miss Jay Leno.  Anyway...)

The girl who plays Misaki in The Quiz Show 2/Golden, Mizusawa Elena, looks like a cross between Gakki (Aragaki Yui) & Toda Erika.  But I suppose she was the lead in the Koizora drama, so she needed to look something like Gakki (if only they'd done the same for Hiro -sigh-).

So yeah, that'd just be bothering me.  Toodles.

Btw, this entry took far too long (I had to look up pictures).


Edit, 6/8: This is the second time Elena's picture has failed.  Does she hate me?

I must have some kind of music disease.

I've noticed that something like 80% of the time, I like an artist's earlier work than their later stuff, even if I get into them later (ex: Muse.  I got into them w/their 3rd album, "Absolution".  Their next album sucked, but I really liked their previous 2 albums).
I've only been noticing because MYV & Diru are going off on tracks I'm not 100% behind like I was in the past, and now abs (abingdon boys school), whose music I have LOVED every time, are also now not as impressive.  I mean, none of them have taken a drastic turn, but...

You know who has taken a drastic turn, though?  Keane.  What the hell were they thinking?  They became popular because they used piano AND NO GUITAR.  Then w/"Under the Iron Sea" they had guitar in a few, and their latest album, "Perfect Symmetry" sounds more like The Killers (who also had a better 1st album than any subsequent one) than Keane.  And don't even get me started on Evanescene!

People wearing LIVESTRONG bracelets who are smoking.

Surprise, I got the job!


Why'd I say surprise?  Because it's a joke - I pretty much knew I'd get the job, but I didn't want to sound haughty, and it'd be esp. bad if I ended up not getting the job.

I only have 8 days of work, and the first 3 are only minimum wage ($7.25, I think) since it's training.  The other 5 are $9.50, though.  Even better, one of them's an overnight, so I get paid to sleep! :D  I don't quite remeber the hours, but it's something like: Evenings 4:30-11pm, Overnights 4:30-10am, so it's better than what you'd get at another part-time job, right?  And come on, it's the zoo (which I know very well, too, btw - I worked there as a volunteer for 4 years, though I haven't worked there in the past year).

Anyway, yay!  I'm still gonna probably want to look for a summer job, though. D:  Well, in June (but hey, I'll have better job experience and a really good reference now).

I don't really know why, but I just feel like compiling a list of all the mp3 downloads I have, so here we go. 
Also, I'm open to requests for mp3s♪, PVs♫ & Lives☼  (in order of how many I have), including requests for single songs off of albums/singles I have uploaded here.  I listen to mainly American/British, Japanese, and Korean music (unless something crazy comes over me, I will not list all the musicians I have music from), though I have only mp3s for non-Asian music (so, no PVs or Lives).

Disclaimer: UNLESS NOTED, I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER/RIPPER  OF THESE SONGS/PVs/LIVES.  If you somehow can prove that they're yours and want me to remove them, I will.

Comments are appreciated, thank you.  Enjoy!

Finally, I got through to Krist about an interview for the job.  My sister texted me and told me to call him "now," because he was just doing paperwork and sitting next to the phones (she gave me the office number, and his cell).  By the time I called though (I had to use the toilet, excuse me!), he was on the phone, which I of course found out after I left messages.  But then, an hour or somesuch later, she texted me again to call him, and lo-and-behold, when I did, he picked up!  So, on Sunday I'll have my interview.  I have to write a cover letter...crap, like I remember how to do that (I was forced to learn back in 9th or 10th grade, and so, with no motivation to learn, forgot it all, like Ueda forgot English).  Anyway, wish me luck (I miss the zoo, and money)!

In other news, I finally bought "Hamlet 2", since it was at a reasonable price.  My sister'd never seen it, so we watched it and she adored it.  Did you know it's from the same producers as "Little Miss Sunshine"?  Those of you who've not seen those films, please do.  If you don't like them, obviously we don't share a sense of humor.

I have to work on AnS tomorrow...and finally get a new bike helmet!

Oh yeah, I'm going to Eugene next weeked.  Roadtrip!
