"I watch three hours of television a week. Mostly because there's nothing on."

[walkwithheroes]

zainichi_hana has been updated with two short 'two-years ago' stories. I really hope everyone will read them and give me some feedback. Oh, and feel free to friend that journal, as I may not always talk about updates here.

You weren't supposed to talk like that at thirteen years old






On another note, the new television season began this week. I find myself watching less and less television, as I feel there's really nothing on anymore. Monday nights I watch Heroes, Wednesday nights I watch Lost and Thursday nights I watch Gray's. But other than that, I don't really watch anything. I used to watch The Office, but I got sick of Pam and Jim, mostly Pam. And, I'm really this close to not watching Lost when it returns in '08. Also, nothing really appeals to me in the freshmen series catagory. I might watch the first episode of Moon Light, if only because it looks like it will be an Angel 2.0.





I did watch Gossip Girl last night. It was alright, I suppose. Though, I kept thinking: 'It's pretty, rich, white people with problems.' *rolleyes*. Why are pretty, rich, white people always so misunderstood and messed up? And why do they spend 100s of dollars on an outfit they can get at Wal-Mart or K-Mart for fifty dollars?





I bought Heavenly Forest off of ebay today for eighteen dollars. Just because I wanted to be able to watch it on my television. Hey, last week I bought a Battle Royale bootleg for fourteen dollars at Amazon. Actually, the BR bootleg was pretty good in turns of subtitles.





I really want to buy all the Japanese/Korean shows that I have on DVD-R. What I mean is, I want to buy the bootlegs or VCD's off of ebay. But, the cheapest are fourteen dollars (before the huge shipping cost) and I'm wondering if they're worth it. I mean, I don't want to waste my money on something with awful subs that wouldn't play on my DVD player. Anyone have any recs on sellers for that?





Oh! Boku wa Imoto ni Koi o Suru is already up on ebay, or at least what looks like a bootleg is. It claims to have English subs. Personally, I'll wait for the sub-group to sub it, so I can understand what they're saying more clearly. [Side note: Unfair: the movie is subbed. Is it worth watching?]

I'm tempted to watch the Unfair movie myself because I love Shinohara Ryoko. I normally don't like police dramas, but I saw an episode of the Unfair drama when I was living in Tokyo and I liked it decently (though the next episode bored me, but that's becuase I had no context and it was final episode *laughs*). So I dunno. Give it a shot?

I also have that urge! But then I look at all the DVDs I have already that I hardly watch and think, "Why pay for something I have for free? The stuff I've paid for I hardly watch!" *chuckle* I think one of these days, I'll have to invest in a DivX!playable DVD player. :)

I've never seen the series of Unfair, but I'm rather bored and I heard the movie was alright. I may give it a shot, if only because it's full of actors I like.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person with the urge to spend 100s of dollars of DVDs of shows I already own. I want them just because I want to be able to bring them around with me and watch them on my huge television. But, you're right about the cost. Maybe I'll also invest in a DivXplayable DVD player. Plus, I may just buy my favorites, if only so I'll have a pretty extra set.

Hello can I post this here?
