Jang Dong Gun vs Jay Chou

The Warrior's Way is coming out next week I think, or something, and SHINee's Obsession track is going to the be theme song for the movie. And that reminded me that The Green Hornet ft. Jay Chou is coming out in January and I wonder if any of his songs are going to be used in the movie. I hope so because it's such a pity otherwise. Jay Chou is a freakin' musical genius and if he's going to be recognized in the U.S., music should at least part of it. The Green Hornet was supposed to come out January of this year, but they decided to make it 3D. Whatever, if the 3D effects are good, then it will be worth it.

What's with Hollywood's sudden interest in da azns? There are two movies starring Asian actors coming out within a month of each other [although it was really supposed to be a year]. First Taiwan, now Korea. It's really funny how both Asian actors are so stereotypical. For starters, Jay Chou wears red a ton in the movie. Then the Korean dude's like some samurai [which, btw, is Japanese for all the white folks out there] and the Taiwanese guy's a modern day combination of a ninja and Bruce Lee. Oh and, Rain was also a ninja in Ninja Assassin. Is Hollywood not aware that there are other types of martial arts besides the traditional Japanese ones? Geez. Either way, I'm curious to see which one comes out better.

Agents of Secret Stuff

Everyone knows who nigahiga is right? Good. He and Wongfu (maybe it's WongFu... whatever, it's the thought that counts) Productions have made an AWESOME movie. I'm not gonna embed the video here because you have to have the youtube website surrounding it to experience the whole deal. Or I just don't wan't to spend effort getting the code. Either one (I prefer the first BTW).

And I agree completely about the Big Bang comeback!!! Dude, allkpop.com has absolutely NOTHING exciting in their featured news things. It's freaking depressing. I was looking forward to seeing some exciting news on allkpop.com for the Thanksgiving weekend but nooo... I get to see something about SNSD in Japan. JAPAN. Not KOREA. RAWR.

But Thanksgiving was fun. My dad had some students over, and since they were all Asian, we got to teach them about Thanksgiving lol. So fun. Did I mention that I have just discovered that I make killer stuffing? Yummm.

HP7

Heyllo there. It's officially Thanksgiving Break yippee. Julia and I saw Harry Potter 7 [Part I] today, which was very exciting. The movies have been getting less and less satisfying but it seems like they put a lot of effort into the last one. Since they have two parts this time, they can incorporate more of the details of the book into the movie. That's what kind of bothered me about the previous movies, they had to cut a lot of the book parts out to make it fit the time limit. It was so creepy and disgusting at times, like a shower and probably a haircut too would have been more sanitary. Sorry, I'm a germaphobe. If I'm on the run, I'm still going to need two showers a day and at least a few bottles of hand sanitizer. Plus, I am ridiculously scared of snakes and that giant pet of Voldemort's really doesn't help. It was nice how they made the ending kind of a cliffhanger but also pretty satisfying. Can't wait for the next part!

Btw, wasn't Big Bang's comeback supposed to be in November? Well it's already the end of November so where's Big Bang?

Woah talk about UNEXPECTED.

Today, I was procrastinating, as usual, from doing my homework. So I went to Youtube. And lo and behold! there was a new G-Dragon video!!! Well technically it's a commercial feature thingy. But still... new songs and mv's are still new ^^

Check it out:


Not the best song I've ever since the beginning and end are extra special, but that's just G-Dragon *shrug*. I still love it :D

And I can't wait for Big Bang's new album!!! This month needs to go by faster. I saw a preview, and I was rather disappointed because I heard autotune :( People need to get over autotune. It was just some guy's excuse to cover up his terrible voice and now good artists are using it to cover up their great voices :P

What's happening on december 18?

Or rather, what's happening after it? Well Top Combine's first official concert will be at the Beijing Century Theater on that day, and right after that their newest album will be released! They've already revealed two of their songs on Day Day Up [which has not been aired yet] called "Protagonist" [not to be confused with Outsider's] and "On the Way". It's like a month away!!! On the bright side, Big Bang's comeback is supposed to be this month. And B2st has a new album or something. The "Lights Go On Again" full song is supposed to be out today. The teaser MV was definitely a whole new style, and it sounded pretty good. I hope this month's comebacks are good, my iPod is in need of a new playlist.

Mini break

Yay I'm so excited we have a three-day weekend this week! Except that extra day is for parent-teacher conferences. Uh-oh. Those always make me nervous. And right after that mini break we have a test, a quiz, a paper due, and a presentation. See, I thought we would have like no homework this weekend because we just had about five tests and three quizzes. For one day there was a tiny ray of hope, and then the teachers killed it. This is why hope is dangerous. I have a feeling this isn't even the beginning of the hill. Our homework usually come in waves, meaning there are short periods of time where there's pretty much no homework, then the teachers pile it up and we sleep three hours a day. Last thing on my mind, Spanish test and chemistry quiz. I totally screwed up one part of the Spanish test because as usual, I didn't read the directions carefully enough. The verbs were already conjugated and all I had to do was put them in the right blank, but then I had to go and re-conjugate them and put them in blanks where they don't fit well. Then on the chem quiz, our teacher's paranoid about differentiating between "no reaction" and "no precipitation" so if I messed that up [I really can't remember what I wrote] then he's probably going to take off a bunch of points. Plus, I can't remember how many bases there were because we had to identify them. I only marked the ones with hydroxides since they were the most obvious, but there might have been an ammonia, which we didn't really discuss. If he marks off for that, that's just plain unfair. He always takes off for stuff he doesn't even talk about in class. Way to go teach, that's the way to get your students to learn. :P

Oh shoot I have the practice PLAN tomorrow. Nighty night then.

Shinee glog

I was procrastinating the other day and decided to dedicate a glog to SHINee (because they are absolutely awesome, wouldn't you agree?) Again, I'm procrastinating so I'm posting the link for the glog here:

SHINee Glog

Yep, I have a current SHINee obsession if you haven't noticed. I go through a different band every few weeks. I wonder which one's next. Now time for some Fugitive Plan B before I go to sleep. Urghh two tests and two quizzes today, another test and presentation-type thing tomorrow, then another test next Tuesday and choral reading Wednesday. The choral reading is turning out to be quite difficult. It's only because half the people in my group have a tendency to constantly over-complicate things. Then the other third either have a tendency to not talk, or not do anything in general. So that leaves us with a sixth of a group who can actually get this thing done. Oh, and there are only six people in the group so that means all of the work is going to be done by one person. And guess who that is, as usual? ME. I'm so tired and ready to give up, except I can't because my Asian side is telling me to keep working until my brain fries.

M.I.C DEBUT!!

Finally!! It's been almost a year since their single Yao Ming De Fan Nao, and their song with f(x), and they've even been on variety shows, but they haven't had an actual album. M.I.C is really a strange group, I mean, no band becomes this popular before they actually debut. They usually start collaborating with other groups and guest on shows after their first album. Their first MV (of their own) is titled Rockstar.



The other tracks are:
This Time, It's Really Your Fault
第几幕的爱
漫游记
要命的烦恼

Sorry, I could only translate one. My Chinese isn't very good.
