i'll keep you a secret

one;
Yes, I know I need to stop disappearing for random patches of time. But hey, I bet you didn't even notice, did you? Heh.

two;
Updates? Eh, my life is still boring? Well, last day at work today. After this, 3 weeks of absolutely nothing before I start school. Woe. I'm determined to have fun in the next 3 weeks! Starting with a music journalism workshop tomorrow! And gosh, need to catch up on TV. Entire seasons of Lost and One Tree Hill, plus those unwatched Friday Night Lights and Smallville episodes. And oh, that last episode of Grey's Anatomy. Can't bring myself to watch it, for some reason.

three;
Still stuck on anime and jdrama love. Maou's got potential, mainly because Ikuta Toma is still unbelievable adorable. Code Blue is kinda entertaining, a guilty pleasure of sorts, although I feel nothing for their characters; more character development, please. Osen is cute, alive and brimming with philosophy and human drama.

four;
Here, music, have it.

Russian Red - I Love Your Glasses (2008)

Easily my favorite discovery this year. I can't stop putting it on rotation ever since I first heard it.

Russian Red is Lourdes Hernandez, a young female singer-songwriter hailing from Madrid. With female singer-songwriters on the rise (think: Feist, Regina Spektor), it's easy for one to be lost in the crowd, but you'll be missing out if you dismiss her as such. The instruments are rich and bold in their experimental arrangement, and that quivering voice, so hauntingly gorgeous. Once in a while, you come across a record that is new, fresh, ingenious, beautiful, and still a well-kept secret, and you think, ah, let me have some time alone with this before the rest of world discovers it. This is one of those, a best-kept secret, at least for now.

I'm just waiting for one of her songs to appear on the upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy.

:D Hellohello again. I wasn't sure if I should wish you a Welcome Back, but whatever lol.

P.S. I snagged the music. I'm like a music whore, just so we're all clear. Anyways, THANK YOU FOR THIS. I already adored Regina Spektor -- but this is just too completely fantastic and I'm not even halfway through the album yet.

Updates? Eh, my life is still boring?

Hee, you sound just like me! It's that moment when you realise you haven't made a post to your livejournal in a month, but you... still have nothing to say. Even though it's been a month. All the best people seem to do it! ;)

Also snagged the music, thanks! I look forward to checking her out.

'ello, 'ello. I'm a big fan of knowing music before it explodes all over the world; I liked Shiny Toy Guns, they end up in a Motorola commercial and now 'Le Disko' is too popular. It always irks me though, once the music does get popular and everybody acts like it's the greatest find ever, and I'm like, what? I was listening to that months ago.

Same here, I'm very behind on my shows. :/

Have fun at the workshop!

Downloading the album, thanks! :)

Thank you for the music! The description is fascinating!

About Maou - I really recommend watching the korean original - The Devil or Mawang. I haven't finished it yet, but idk, based on having only seen one ep of Maou, I still think The Devil is a bit more awesome. More suspense and the whole feeling is darker (and more fitting with the plot) + Jo Ji Hoon (he plays the lawyer) is mighty fiiine.

hahaha, its ok, i disappear too. it's sort of the nature of lj for me these days :/

Hey there! =) I just received your package late last night, and I was completely surprised by it. Thank you so much, Alexis. I've already tried one of each of the candies you sent, and I'm uploading the mix to my iPod as I'm typing this. I know it'll be great because you have great taste in music. =)

I really appreciate the support and your kind words. It made my day, and it makes me feel better to know I have people who care. Thank you.

music journalism? I don't get classes like that and I'm supposed be majoring in journalism.

Snagging Russian Red because I love Regina Spektor and I trust your opinion on these issues.

Catch up on LOST now SO SO GOOD. Until next time you appear; farewell :)

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Hey you! I just realized I neglected to reply to this even though I saw it quite some time ago. Oops. I'm glad you got the package, and that you're (were) enjoying it. Just wanna let you know that even though I don't comment much nowadays, I do read your LJ, and just wanna say that I'm glad things are going good for you. A new guy huh? ;)
