Um. The book this season is based on is my least favorite so far, but I'm looking forward to how Dorne is going to be depicted nonetheless (the bastards, particularly, mwehehe).

I did. I still do, to an extent, though I've been having a hard time catching up (less than a hundred scrobbles in the past 5-6 months.. I reckon?) and in a few instances I actually spent some time listening to music I just did it regardless of the fact it may have skewed my charts and displayed artists whose songs I have listened to too much already / previously non-existent (due to a certain taste I used to try to insinuate) in my library. Because whatever.

After having watched the latest episode, I just can't contain all the feels. :'D Here's one interesting post on tumblr that pertains to the most memorable scene in which the original Beifong told Kuvira (to quote a point I absolutely agree with) her existence was a disgrace to something she worked so hard to achieve. http://kuvirsass.tumblr.com/post/104403807820/you-give-metalbenders-a-bad-name-all-joking

The previous hair length was the longest I've had but I impulsively decided to go for a really short bob cut when thesis submission deadline was coming near and I couldn't handle all the stress. After two months I've finally grown fond of my hair... kind of.

Done! Here's mine. (Nell’s Counting Pulses. Probably not all that memorable, but Kim Jong Wan sang it in such a way that makes me feel the helplessness projected in the lyrics). 66. What was the last single you downloaded? Shakira’s La La La Brazil (2014 FIFA Song). 67. What was the last album you downloaded? Lewis Watson’s The Morning. 68. What was the first album you ever bought? Evanescence’s Fallen. 69. What was the last album you bought? 乍東十四雄’s S/T. Idek why. 70. What would life be like for you without music? A barren wasteland. 71. What do you think about mainstream music today? I mostly don’t care. 72. What do you think about KPOP? Some is outright annoying, some I can tolerate, some I can enjoy. 73. Do you think the people around you have weird/bad taste? I do. 74. Do people (in general) think you have a weird/bad taste in music? They do. Some think K-Pop is all I ever listen to (because seriously, K-Pop music is the only thing I can talk about with the people I know in real life), some think my taste is unfathomable (when they learn about my real inclinations). 75. Is music very important to you? It's one of the things I'm passionate about. 76. Do you wish you could sing? If so, what style? I wish I could. My voice is pretty low I can sing some ONE OK ROCK’s songs without using falsettos. I’d love to have 4ho’s voice combined with songwriting and guitar-playing talents just so I could play gigs. Haha. 77. What was your favorite genre a long time ago? Has it changed since? I used to like Mariah Carey, Chinese and Indian music, then whatever played on MTV (Greenday, Good Charlotte, etc). Of course it’s changed. Music taste evolves. 78. Is there a song you find very special to you? amazarashi’s 光、再考. 79. What artists/musicians inspire you? Efek Rumah Kaca. 80. What do you usually listen to music on (computer, phone, ipod, etc)? Phone, then on laptop. 81. Do you listen to entire albums or specific songs? Like CAT5’s answer, I listen to entire albums when they're new to me, at other times I just shuffle the songs I already enjoy. 82. One song that makes you happy? The Trees & The Wild's Malino. There are others as well. 83. What song do you never get tired of? Too many, I suppose. 84. A song you like that was made before you were born? I don’t know. 85. What song makes you want to fall in love? amazarashi’s ワンルーム叙事詩. Listening to this song makes me think of myself waking up in the morning next to the person I love most, regardless the actual meaning of the lyrics. 86. What song would you make love to? - 87. What song makes you want to dance? Too many! Like SHINee's Ring Ding Dong or EXO's History. 88. What song reminds you of summertime? ...I don’t know. 89. What song reminds you of someone you would rather forget about? Nope. I have nobody I’d rather forget about. 90. Do you sing in the shower? I do not. 91. Do you ever make music mixes/mixtapes for other people? Just twice. I’m still learning. 92. How do you find new music? Last.fm, Xiami, friends. 93. What artist/band do you enjoy that most people think sucks? I don’t know. I just don’t think Gazette’s that bad. They’re ostentatious, yes, but some of their materials are alright. 94. Best active VK band? I don’t really pay any attention to VK bands anymore. 95. What do you think of Yoshiki? Attention-seeking bitch. 96. Do you Cosplay? I don’t. 97. Do you prefer visual or non-Visual Bands? The latter. 98. Do you read music-related fanfiction? I used to. Now I just think it’s impolite. 99. Who in J-rock do you think is actually a vampire? Unanimous answer would be Hyde, I suppose. 100. Last J-rock song you fell in love with? Day and Buffalo’s Bye Bye Daddy. 101. Favorite Japanese guitarist? TK of Rin Toshite Shigure. 102. Favorite Japanese bassist? The only names that come to mind is Shinya Fujiki of Akutagawa and Tamaki Kunishi of Mono. 103. Favorite Japanese drummer? Sujk =)), Kashikura Takashi of toe. 104. Best Dressed Japanese band? - 105. What are you listening to now? Nothing.

I'm not really sure if this counts, but I've had a handful of opportunities being.. well, friendzoned. I suppose being friendzoned doesn't only mean not having your affection reciprocated (lol tumblr) as it also applies to the instances when you're seen as 'undateable' by the person who harbors the feelings for you (in my case because apparently my fiery, tomboyish disposition brushes the guys off somehow without them ever making any obvious advances); thus putting you in the friend zone.

Oh My God. OH MY GOD YES.

I agree with Miasma. Sad to see one of my favorite characters die, but everyone's gonna be dead anyway. I personally think the fighting scene between Oberyn and Gregor was a bit too short, but nonetheless it was as brutal and beautiful as I pictured it to be. I just wish Oberyn had more interactions with Tyrion..............

Done re-reading John Green's Looking For Alaska and now I'm in the beginning of Yasunari Kawabata's Snow Country. I should be working on my thesis instead.

YG ruined my hype, but I couldn't care less about GG. My body is ready.

Dazai Osamu - No Longer Human. The brief prologue's eerie and yet simply stunning. There are farcicalities, sad and frustrating moments, even illuminating notions... the book's fairly engaging, but all the while I can't think of the main protagonist as someone who is no longer a human as the title implies--perhaps just a person who doesn't function properly in a lot of ways. Who knows, though; I'm still somewhere on page 127 or so.

I love you and I love the list to the point where I shouted "YEEESSSS!" upon seeing the topic yesterday--loud enough to make both my brother and mother snapped back at me in annoyance because they were still sleeping; which I believe doesn't come off as a surprise. So many feels... There's also Dirty Androids! <3 I already have like half of the albums you mentioned on your non-Japanese list (all thanks to the hours spent on extensive stalking and whatever) and I shall also give Play Dead Season, Raizen & Lycoriscoris a try. Haven't gotten around to listening to the new Kamomekamome as their previous release wasn't particularly memorable... but I agree with Heaven in Her Arms / COHOL split especially; HIHA's a hit-and-miss and yet the release was filled with awesome badassery. I am letting you know I am ready to feel you. ♫

Natsume Sōseki - The Gate. Can't tell much since I'm still at the beginning of the novel, but I expect great things after having been really pleased with Kokoro.

Great. Should definitely try SingerSen... I remember sai once said that she liked her stuff (which I believe was through your recommendation) and I know it's 'something' on the account of the challenging effort required to please her. Shiina has also been on my list for a little while and everybody always talks about how marvelous her releases are and everything but I just don't know where to start. Looking forward to another genres.

Hey, CAT. What's your favorites? I'm expecting your reply, and Zess' as well. Also, seconding Dylan on which the god and death stars release is the best. The others need some more time for me to process, whilst addle apple is an instant love.

My favorites are, in no particular order: 阿部芙蓉美 - How To Live Kojoe - 51st State Nayuta - Miraklo Rakonto downy - 第五作品集『無題』 Local Natives - Hummingbird LAGITAGIDA - Tutela!! 八十八ヶ所巡礼 - 0088 The Novembers - zeitgeist Moving Mountains - Moving Mountains 승리 - Let's Talk About Love The Internet - Feel Good The Novembers - Fourth Wall Yuck - Glow and Behold LEO今井 - Made from nothing Köttur - トマト帽のベレー SHIZUKA KANATA - Snow EXO - XOXO/Growl miss A - Hush Jinmenusagi - ME2! Nell - Escaping Gravity Block B - Very Good Norikazu Chiba - The Songs of the Circling Stars f(x) - Pink Tape That's all I can think of... might add some more releases as I still have plenty of music queueing up in my playlist. 2013 has been amazing so far, so many discoveries!

I wore a kebaya and had tons of make-up for today was my brother's graduation day. The kemben was made from a certain material which made my upper body look more stuffed than it actually is.. haha.
