happy! (ish)

antpowerI finally figured out how to watch Japanese TV through VLC! Yay, me!! Not that it was terribly complicated, but I thought seeing as how I couldn't use keyhole TV or anything (I have a Mac), that it would be much more scary. Clubbox, on the other hand, has defeated me.
Arashi are doing a fourth show in Korea! Yay!! I'm not sure if this means I'm any more likely to get tickets, especially as they probably wouldn't get here before I go to Japan and I'd therefore have to physically collect them off the seller in Korea, but after feeling terribly bitter at everyone's Taiwan posts all weekend (and especially after watching the Niji fancam which is awesome in a subtley different way from the Time Con version), I am once again resolved in my Epic Quest to see Arashi. Woah, was that the longest sentence ever? And did you notice how I held myself back from making any puns about keeping the dream "a"live? I'm kind of proud of me.
Okay, so I know none of us need some award to tell us that Riida is the Best Actor, but I'm happy he won it anyway. <3333333
I'm still sick. I haven't been to work for like a week or something. The doctor did blood tests and popped the vein so that it bled back into my arm. This is actually as painful as it sounds. Anyway, the blood tests came back borderline for glandular fever (mono) and I had to have more tests. I didn't think you could get glandular fever twice, but after some careful research (wikipedia), I discovered that it's possible if you have a weak immune system. And you know, "weak immune system" is actually my middle name. This is the most inconvenient time ever to be sick, especially with the Australian dollar at like 65 yen. This is clearly not one of the things I'm happy about.
I finally got a bunch of stuff sorted for my trip today. None of it is actually interesting enough to post about (and yet, I am!), just travel insurance and stuff that I'd been putting off because that kind of thing annoys me. It's awesome to get stuff done!
I was happy about something else too... oh yeah, I have a jelly cup!! It's awesome!
I know I have once again been fail at commenting and all that. It's pretty much because I'm lazy and I feel rubbish, and I figure people don't want me making a bunch of blah posts on their journals. Not that any of you probably give it much thought and I'm just stressing over nothing. But it does actually really bother me when I neglect my flist, because you're all awesome. <333
I feel like I should post about all the awesome TV I've been watching while I'm sick (like Ppoi with the awesome chibi!Aiba-trying-to-kiss-chibi!Yamapi and my rekindled love for Supernatural), but this post is already way too long, so I'll leave that for another day.

Date: 2008-10-13 01:41 pm (UTC)Good that you're still trying hard to get tickets for the Arashi con, it will be totally and utterly worth it, they're amazing to see live :DD
DD: i hope you get better soon *hugs* oh god that sounds like a painful blood test DD:
ppoi is awesome XD and my friend is just trying to get me into supernatural at the moment, it's pretty good :D
no subject
Date: 2008-10-13 02:14 pm (UTC)I know, it would be so awesome!! I don't think I'll actually give up until the con is over and I'm not there!
I hope I get better soon too!! The blood test was awful, I'm normally okay with needles, but this still hurts and it was days ago!!
Ppoi was great! They were so cute!!! Supernatural is awesome, it's the only non-Japanese show I still watch!
no subject
Date: 2008-10-13 02:30 pm (UTC)lmao i would want to know how but since i don't know how to speak japanese (and can only understand basic stuff) it'd be pretty useless haha.
i would really love to attend a concert also but i have school to attend to >___>
i hope you're able to see them! (i hope they come to usa or the philippines..when i'm in the philippines haha)
& i hope you feel better! everyone has been getting sick around here lately, i keep relapsing with cough and throat problems >_____>
(but yeah, your description about what they did to you DOES sound like it hurts, ouch D:)
ANDDD (lmao i'm writing such a long comment right?) i love ppoi! AIBA WAS SUCH A CUTE PIMP *(@&#*(@#!
anyway, he was really cute when he was my age hahahaha.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-13 02:42 pm (UTC)I'm not sure I can actually afford to go see them in Korea, but I figure if I get tickets, I'll make it happen somehow! I mean, it's Arashi!!
Yeah, I think the change of seasons makes people feel sick!! I tend to take forever to get over things too, so I'm going with the theory that it's nothing serious, it's just taking ages for my sore throat to go away!!
I love long comments!! <33 Ppoi was so good!! Aiba was adorable, I love how he had that fanclub that followed him around! But he really hasn't changed very much. XD
Your icon is the most win thing ever!! XP

Date: 2008-10-13 02:55 pm (UTC)haha the only thing that was closest for me and arashi is that i went to the same airport in south korea, not even at the same time D:
but i'mm teasuer it, I WALKED ON THE SAME GROUND
i'm so lame haha.
yess! Aiba was so cute! Too bad Yamapi was mistaken for a girl.
lmao that episode was the most win thing ever, I would've uploaded more but I don't have a paid account hehe. I loved how Ohno-man always appeared and Sho laughed soooo hard, it was cute.

Date: 2008-10-13 04:24 pm (UTC)Ahh... Ppoi! One of my firstest dramas! *sigh* I was so innocent back then... (xDDD)
I hope you get better! D: And fingers crossed you get to see them in Korea! <333
P.S. Riida FTW!! <(_ _)>

Date: 2008-10-13 06:40 pm (UTC)Clubbox totally defeated me, too.
I gave up... years ago. XD
But it's actually my computer's fault. A friend of mine who uses clubbox didn't manage to get it to work. That's proof enough for me. xD
*shudder* I'm grateful that that has never happened to me....
no subject
Date: 2008-10-13 07:12 pm (UTC)Yay for being able to see Japanese tv! Of course, I know nothing about your shows and I've only seen select images of Arashi when you show me something odd about their costumes, but clearly, the whole event is Made of Awesome for you. *claps and cheers*
I haven't seen you online in ages and it sucks. *pouts* I'll keep watching though. I guess when the planets align or something...

You can get it, just channel Arashi. XDDD
I hope you're well and it's just a scare.
Oooh, I have jelly cups in the freezer. I should go eat.
Do blah posts, it's a great way of... hmmmm... being remembered as teh Spam Girl.
And yes, awesome people surround themselves with more awesome people. Einstein discovered that.

Date: 2008-10-14 03:14 am (UTC)I always stayed away from VLC player for some reason I can no longer remember. ^_^;; But if it's able to stream HQ Japanese TV, then I might give it a go. And in my opinion, clubbox sucks. I can never get that thing to work for long.
I've stayed away from the Taiwan con reports. I get jealous too easily~ I hope you'll be able to find those tickets. These things always feel so impossible to us overseas fans but we must keep the dream "a" live. There, I made the pun for you :P
I've been sick for the past few weeks too. It's spring for crying out loud!! Why is everyone sick now?? But your blood test sounded really painful. It reminds me of the time the nurse couldn't find the vein in my arm and began digging around inside with the needle to find one. *shivers*
I'm depressed about the fallen dollar too. It means no more online shopping for a while :( It was so strange to see it fall 20c in a week! Now Japanese stuff costs twice as much T^T
I'm fail at doing anything on LJ lately too so you're not alone. I suppose this time of year is busy for everyone -.-
Hmm... my comment is long ^^:

I want to see more Supernatural! ;o; But I can just see the German version, and it's so lame in German... (Want to see the original again...)
no subject
Date: 2008-10-14 03:25 pm (UTC)Hope whatever you have clears up for Japan. And good luck on trying to get Korea tickets! Keep the dream "a"live!
Also, awesome find with VLC, though my first though was like, DUDE HOW COOL IS THAT! Streaming Japanese TV, I WANNA DO THAT. And then I go, "Wait a minute....". Unless it can stream the cable channels I don't get!

Date: 2008-10-14 04:51 pm (UTC)\o/\o/\o/ for Riida! :DD
Also, I want to watch PPOI. Hope I had the time. D:
Oh and get well soon! ♥
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 08:41 am (UTC)LOL!! I don't know why it took me so long to get around to watching PPOI, it was awesome! I've nearly run out of Arashi dramas to watch now, I think I've only got that one where Nino's girlfriend gets shrunk.

Date: 2008-10-26 09:08 am (UTC)I'm sure I'll be just the same when I get to Japan, I'll start freaking out every time I see something from a drama or, you know, like Matsujun on the Pepsi machine or something!! XP
LOL, Yamapi made such a cute girl though!
Ohno-man is the cutest thing ever!! I wish somebody would write fanfic about Ohno-man being a superhero, that would be awesome!!! XP

I've been feeling particularly yucky the past few weeks and haven't been online hardly at all. Which means now I have to try to catch up with emails and so forth before I leave. I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you before my trip!!! <33333333

Date: 2008-10-26 11:54 am (UTC)Yay, thank you for making the pun for me!! I was so tempted by it, but I stayed away! Unfortunately, the Korea thing seems kind of impossible now, though I'm choosing to believe that there is SOME GREATER PURPOSE for this!! XP
Ow, your blood test actually sounds worse than mine, the actual sticking part was okay, it was just afterwards. Being sick is so annoying though, like it's fun for a day or two when you can just stay in bed and catch up with watching your stories and whatnot, but after that it becomes tiresome!!
The dollar is worse than ever today! It's kind of breaking my heart!
I love long comments, so that is awesome!! <333333
