I'm judging you.

Today, in a series of good and bad events!

Bad: Woke up 2 minutes before the alarm :(

Good: Found out I'm going to be stopping working at my far-away work that I don't like (where I've been stuck the past 2 years) and headed back full time to my Roppongi office next month!

Bad: Saw Golden Mask, which absolutely sucked balls D: Seriously, I absolutely hated the show, I don't even really know why. It was boring, the parts that weren't boring were confusing, the characters were entirely two-dimensional, and just...a bad, bad unenjoyable show. Yikes. I can't believe it was a *pnish* produce show DDDD:

Good: ...Nagayan was there!

Bad: Picked up my TeniMyu tickets and two nights I'm in the EXACT SAME SEAT (what) off to the side and the other night I'm off to the side as well, all in the 3rd and 4th rows. I know, that's not really THAT bad, considering, but still :P

Good: ...Someone dropped 10,000 yen right in the middle of the street by my apartment. I seriously looked around and there wasn't a soul in sight. I feel bad about keeping it but...I can kind of use it :| I set it aside in case someone comes asking for it, but...yay?

*uses only Kondou icon she has*

I just realized I haven't posted anything about our kickass awesome time at Sasayaka na Kono Jinsei last Friday :O So, I'll do it now! Instead of work! Yay!

hughes_maes and I managed to find Echo Theater quite easily, it being about 5-7 min from Ebisu station. The lobby was fricking TINY, though, and we quickly grabbed pamphlets, flyer stacks, and squeezed our way into the theater. We were on the 4th row, I think, not horrible seats at all.

The plot of the show...if you could really call it that...revolved around Wasshi's character, who is told when he goes into the hospital for a checkup that he will die in 365 days. His character is a very kind of, "oh....ok...." c'est la vie kinda guy, not emotional at all, and his first action upon learning this news is to find some way to kill himself, because if he's just going to die, it's better to go ahead and get it over with. He decides eating a poison mushroom will do the trick.

The rest of the show is a series of short skits that are actually more like dreams of Wasshi's, wherein he meets many different, crazy, random characters and learns that life's really quite fun if you stop to take the time to enjoy it. The first skit is him joining up with a circle of mushroom enthusiasts (to try and get his hands on some poison mushrooms) from a local university, and the hijinks they get up to are quite amusing.

Other skits included a bunch of the guys pretending to be insects and wondering wtf happened to Wasshi's insect body, Naru as a sharpshooter finding himself unable to kill a cat, the Worst Demachi Ever with Kondou as the barbarian/neanderthal chick Paula and I were certain was supposed to represent the foreigner XD;;;, and a sumo match inside a restaurant to decide who would get to date one of the waitresses (complete with Naru going, "Hakkyooooiii..........BUUUUURRRRRRNNNNNIIIIIIINNNNNGGG!!!!")

On that note, I was actually pleasantly surprised that, after about 10 min of listening to him talk, I was able to forget that Kondou played Oishi! In that, watching him on stage, I was able to appreciate him as an actor and himself (and GOD is he hilarious. I MUST SEE HIM IN MORE STUFF) and not just hear "Oishi" up there. Since his seiyuu voice as Oishi is the same as his normal speaking voice, I was a little worried that all I'd be doing the whole time was hearing "Oishi" saying stuff and being funny--and for a little bit, it WAS like that. For example, in the mushroom club skit, it's revealed that the girl he's secretly crushing on is already dating someone, and he falls to the floor in a dead faint giving the girliest scream ever XD All I could think was, "Hehe...Oishi screams like a girl..." -- but after a while, it was just pure Kondou :D Awesome job, man!

Afterwards, I gave into the pressure and pre-ordered the DVD; it was so random and funny, I had to! Plus it was a great memory seeing Kondou for the first time onstage ^__^ There was also a gumball-type machine that was filled with tiny balls with cellphone straps of the actors inside you could try and get for 500yen each. After 2 tries, I had Kondou and another random cast member, so I was definitely happy :D

Also: Tuti was at our show! We didn't see him outright, but I thought I saw someone who looked Tuti-ppoi, and then a bit later he posted about going to see it on his blog ^__^

Coming up next: A Long Post About 4th Cast, in which I promise not to make the "Current Music" text read, "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead."

ETA: I just bought the PS2 game Tenisu no Oujisama :: Sweat & Tears 2 because I wanted to own the DVD of that oooolllllld old seiyuu event (that MoriEiji was in :D) to rip an HQ awesome copy. But I don't need the game. Anyone wanna take it off my hands for a small fee??

If you haven't seen it on pnish already, Sono Tettou is up on the StrawberryWine tracker, so go get it! You know you want to see Tuti cry like a baby ;_____;

And I want to see posts from you people about these plays! I've written nice, long, in-depth reports about every one of these, so you can't say you don't have any thoughts since you can't understand Japanese :P These are plays that should make you explode in fangirl-y glee or weep for days ;_; SO POST, PEOPLE! :P It at least lets me know that it's even worthwhile to rip these, and that people appreciate them.

In other news, I stayed up til midnight last night to check Gaku's blog because he teased everyone saying, "omg I have some biiiiiiig news but I can't tell anyone til midnight 8D SO CHECK BACK!" the whore. Unable to handle the curiosity, I stayed up, and it turned out to be a Gaku+Iwashita KittyGuys party event thingee! FOR 30 PEOPLE 8D (and Gaku and Iwashita are really popular--that's like *pnish* having an event and only inviting something like a couple hundred people, when their tickets already sell out in seconds when there are THOUSANDS)

Guess who's one of those 30 going now? XD I nabbed 2 tickets, actually, and invited hughes_maes to come with me, because that girl needs more taiin in her life ♥ It's on the 26th of this month, and apparently there's going to be a second "party" repeat of the first later on that evening since they wanted to let more than 30 take part. While I could go to the second one as well, I don't really WANT to that much (if this were *pnish*, now...) and, umm, I'd kinda stick out and be creepy XD;;; So one show it is! Even Nagayan doesn't go to Tuti's shows twice

Also, Wasshi's Live DVD came last night!! It's ripping, too, and hamykia and I did indeed manage to make it onto some of the offshots XD;;; Haven't watched the actual show, gonna do that after GANBARUing for more room tickets with Paula on Saturday ♥ The torrent for it should be up tonight ^___^

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Thanks for your comments, everyone! (о＾∇＾о)

Regarding the "dinner with Daiki-chan" spoken about on PaniSuta that everyone was wondering about, as promised, I received an invitation by text from Daiki-chan on the afternoon of HappyPani (haha)

And we finally went through with it yesterday! First we had sushi, and then went out for drinks! It was a lot of fun (^^)v

HAHAHAHAHAHA DAIKI WAS SEME (after all, HE did the inviting--according to Tuti and Eiji that's the defining factor for being on top, WHO KNEW.

Wasshi's music video for "Just Going My Way" is out :D You can view it for free on the site linked in his blog, but I upped it to youtube for easy viewing:
