So far, so good, 2010

So, I haven't really done anything productive this year. I mean, I started a fic where Arashi battle the forces of evil, but it kind of really sucked, so I went back to working on my novel. But then there was all this awful plot stuff I had to think about, so I had a nap instead.

I worked New Year's Day. It was triple time, so I didn't mind staying in NYE. My sister and I tried to watch Kouhaku through keyhole TV, but we only managed to see NYC Boys and some enka singer lady, then it died and we watched Iza, Now instead, so good times were had by all nevertheless, and I got to watch Kouhaku when it was uploaded anyway. As far as that goes, I have something to say...

( cut for spoilers, even though everyone's already seen it )

Then I watched the Countdown, which was awesome. Was it just me, or was Domoto Tsuyoshi totally out of it? Either that or in a really bad mood. The bit where Arashi had sunflower microphones was the cutest thing ever and I really can't understand how Yamapi just keeps getting hotter. I think Akanishi Jin has been eating his feelings, I was joking about him getting fat at last year's Countdown, but seeing him standing next to Jun this year really made it stand out!!

Mostly, over the holiday period, I've just been watching j-dramas that I started last year and never finished. I shall make a list of them!!

Haikei, Chichiue-sama - Nino is a cook and in love with Sister Angela from 1 Pound Gospel, who only speaks French on certain days of the week. She was a bit annoying, but I think that was mainly because I was still mad at her for failing so hard in VSA a few weeks ago. Anyway, it was cute and featured Nino looking a little bit retarded everytime he made his "stupidly in love" face. I bought this from the Asian DVD store in the city and the subtitles on it were terrible. XP

Half Doctor - Nagase is an incompetent doctor who heals people by his incredibly manly hotness understanding their feelings and yelling at them in a Nagase-type way. He lives in this share-house type place with blonde!Nino, who's a cute little hoodlum. It's pretty much Ikebukuro West Gate Park with doctors instead of gangs and things.

Scrap Teacher - Yamada, Chinen and other members of HSJ that I'm less familiar with cure bad teachers of bad teachering by being mysterious and having access to helicopters and other things that don't really make sense but are kind of awesome anyway. (Also from Asian DVD store with bad subs.)

Utahime - Nagase lost his memory in the war, so he moved in with this family who run a cinema in a little beach town. It's basically the story of the town and the family - mainly Nagase and the youngest daughter (Aibu Saki) and it's one of the best dramas I've seen in a long time, I highly recommend it! Features Sato Ryuta as the most awesome yakuza guy ever!!! Five stars and two thumbs up!

That's about it for me. I'm trying to suck less at LJ this year, but I'm not sure how long that will last. I'm a terribly lazy person.

Oh, also! I finally saw the recent episode of VSA with Gackt. I think he and Jun should get married and have awesome bling together.
