- So, the other week I may or may not have read both the remaining books of Holly Black's faerie series and finished each of them in a day. IDK, I love faerie. Not the Disney kind, but the old school kind, seductive, mischievous and dark, capable of casual cruelty because they just don't understand human emotions. You know, the kind that murder and upset kingdoms and break hearts just for fun because eternity can get boring. For this I blame O.R Melling'sChronicles of Faeriebooks (which are back in print, thanks to the paranormal romance boom! And she's releasing new ones!) and L.J Smith's pre-Vampire Diary urban fantasy series. (Which is also back in print, being republished under as the 'Wildworld Series'. Wow, the power of the boom knows no end!)

- I had a brief flirtation with both the dorama and movie adaptations of 'Sunadokei', but it didn't last because 1)The dorama is 60 eps and I can only find the first 10, and 2)The movie changes the manga canon A LOT, so I am now watching 'Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu' (The classroom of sun and the sea) because I still have a spot for crazy teacher shakes up the status quo dorama. (GTO is still my favorite ever!! Onizuka-sensei!!)

- So, the new D-BOYS group with Nakamura Yuichi, Igarashi Shunji, Araki Hirofumi & Seto Kouji? I don't know what they are going to DO, but I already know I want slash about them!! <3 <3

- I finally got my C.I.W.F (Co-miyavi International Worldwide Family, aka the international branch of Miyavi's fanclub) membership card and first pamphlet, and the 'rules' on the back of the card are pretty much the most adorable thing ever, all about how we need to love each other and protect each other like a real family.

- MAX is coming out with their first new album since Mina came back. It's a Euro-beat cover album of 70s/80s hits, which dampened my excitement a bit, until someone reminded me that that is what their debut album MAXIMUM was, and Reina posted that each member has a solo song on the album. (And apparently there is some other surprise that they can't tell us about yet.)

- Ayana Tsubaki has a twitter now. She's so adorable. XD So does Takeru from SuG. <3 He some times posts in English, which is better than I expected. Speaking Takeru, his blog has so many adorable pics.
