Just takin' up space.

My absolute OBSESSION with TsujiTaka remains unabated :P Today, while researching for a fic, I stumbled upon BabaRyo's blog (I'd known he had one, just never checked it out. GOD WHAT AN IDIOT I AM).

( This is what I'd been missing )

Time for some SCREENCAP TIME! I used my screencapping as an excuse to listen to the audio commentary, which was really fun XD If you're at all inclined, I suggest the same thing :D There are about 60 caps, so dialuppers beware! ( I ♥ Saiga-samaaa~ )

And if you've seen the show now and want to go back, check out the few Samurai Mode fics that we churned out a while back!

Name Dropping - parts 1 and 2 [Garakusha/Tachibana, post-SM] (by lavenderlilly)
Attention Complex [Shisui/Saiga, mid-SM] (by me)
Yudan - parts 1 and 2 [Garakusha/Tachibana, post-SM] (by me)

And now that my mind's been refreshed by watching the show again, I'm probably gonna write more, so GIMME PROMPTS IF YOU'VE GOT THEM 8D I'd definitely rather write Shisui/Saiga or Garakusha/Tachibana, but if you just absolutely have to see something else, lemme know >) (wtf I've never wanted to write fic for a *pnish* show this badly, but gaaaaaah ILUSM GUYS).

The weekend thus far has...had its ups and downs. Yesterday, hughes_maes came over at 9:30 in the morning (I don't think either of us has slept in on a Saturday since she got here XD;;;) so that we could attack Lawsons to get *pnish* room advance sales tickets at 10 AM.

That failed on three fronts: Paula was working the machine while I was dialing the phone number and nikki_aino was on the website front. None of us got through at all, so the ticket-getting was an utter failure >_> There's still next week, though, when general sales start, and then of course there's...auctions >_< Gonna keep trying!!

After that, we got lunch from lawson's and went back to my apartment to drown our sorrows by watching Rebirth (I will NEVER get used to it, dammit) Historica. Was quite entertaining, since I hadn't seen it since April, and I'm eager to see how everyone else likes it too XD It's definitely one of their harder-to-understand plays because if you're not familiar with the Incident at Honnouji Temple (like every schoolchild here is) then you'll be preeeeetty lost. Still, it was really entertaining, and made me realize how much I maybe almost ship Tsuda and Kawakami *____* They have such an almost manzai-like relationship, it's so cute XD

Paula had to run off after we finished, and I took my time getting ready for the evening's show: Hakase to Tarou ni Ijou na Aijou, Nagayan's new play! Senshuuraku is actually today XD

I hadn't heard good things about the play from Mitsuru (mostly that the directing was bad, even though Nagayan himself was really good), so I was kind of concerned, but after meeting up with Mizuno-san and Takada-san before the show to gab a little, I realized what was the problem, and think I agree.

Before I get into that, though, a little news we discussed: Nagayan is a sudden cast addition to the show at the end of the month that Araki (of D-boys) is in, Shatou. I'd think about going, but the tickets are 5800, and they're the only people I really care about XD So I'll probably pass, but interesting still!

Also picked up a flyer for the Nagayan FC onsen trip, and saw this: "バースデイカウントダウン（オッシャレしてきてね）" ("Birthday Countdown [make sure you dress up!])

Uuuuuhhhh. Define "dress up"--none of us could figure out exactly what he meant, but we're all thinking, "...so we're supposed to bring dresses or something??" and I DO NOT HAVE ANY DRESSES. Nothing really nice at least. I have some dress shoes, and a nice skirt, but not shirt to go with it, and a dress would still be nicer...ARGH. GREAT. SOMETHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT.

In still other news, we were discussing TeniMyu, and apparently 5th cast GP were amaaaaaazing at the Fukushima senshuuraku (they got to go) and that makes me really really happy 8D Also, apparently there are rumors flying around that the next one will be ANOTHER double-cast on both Seigaku and Hyoutei's part o_O As in, 4/5th cast Seigaku alternating, with Hyoutei A and B coming back now and then for guest appearances. WHAAAAAAT. Are they trying to kill 4th cast, who will only have finished this show they're doing right now barely a month before the next one?! Sheesh...

But now on to Nagayan's show! ( Cut cause this entry's getting long XD )

So I was watching On 2 and 3 over again this weekend with daiki_dansu, and we happened upon a few choice scenes that I either hadn't paid attention to before, or hadn't noticed at all even. Eiji/Daiki of course! ( Click to see some picspam XD )

We're passed the halfway point! It's all downhill into RabuRabu Territory from here~ ( Do you dare march forth? )

One more after this~!!

So, I decided since NaiPani's finally over, and there are some of you who don't quite realize what NaiPani did for MoriDaiki, I'd put together some picspam posts of the Marrieds in NaiPani. As it is, I've screencapped what I believe is every Eiji/Daiki Moment in the series, every high-five, every stupid grin, every ass-check, every Being Obviously Married shot there exists captured by Director Hottie McSexpants' cameras.

Now that all is said and done, there are over 180 shots, though >_> Sooooo I'm gonna break it up into a few separate, chronologically-ordered posts, because I'm nice that way. All shots have been resized to fit my current layout, which I'll likely regret later when I wanna fangirl, but you people can go and watch the original episode if you want to see the Marrieds in action :P So! Without further ado...( Part 1! )

To be continued...!

Some picspam from the recent new episode of season 3 (spoilers of course!). ( Clicky cut! )

So I just remembered what we did Sunday--hung out most of the day with cienna, her roomie, Meg, and the absolutely flaming, fabulous Shouhei. Shouhei is amazing: gayer than Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, a proud Kabaji/Atobe shipper, an amazing cosplayer, and an up-and-coming doujinka.

And he's a Kansai boy.

He and I totally spent the whole day picking out gay boys from the crowd as we made our way around Ikebukuro and Shinjuku XDDDDDD

When he reminded everyone that he was from Kyoto, I told him offhand that I loved Kansai boys. He asked why, and I said it was because I absolutely loved Kansai-ben, and that my favorite TeniPuri character was Oshitari, because he had that awesome deep sexy voice and paired it with Kansai-ben, it just made me melt.

He stopped, and looked at me, and then pitched his voice a good octave lower than it normally was, going, "Ara sou yatta~" and then proceeded to REDUCE ME TO AN UTTER WIBBLING MESS.

SERIOUSLY. THE GUY WAS A DEAD MATCH WITH KIUCHI. IT FRIGHTENED ME, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, IT WAS SO SEXY. s;ldiufhsldifushlfis I still get chills just THINKING about it. He talked for, like, 2 minutes in this amazing deep, sexy Kansai voice, and truth be told by the end I wasn't paying attention to a WORD he said 8DDDDD

But enough about that. ( MORIDAIKI PICSPAM!! Yes, MORE! )
