True Life Seek

If you have already seen the PV to Bonnie Pink’s “Ring A Bell,” I am going to ask that you watch it again. I have it streamed below to make it really easy for you. So please, sit back and enjoy!

But it’s gotta get done!

It’s spring summer who cares cleaning time here at the TLS Headquarters. I have so much stuff that needs to be thrown out. I have to evaluate each piece of paper and every single knick-knack that comes my way before I dispose of it. I am doing a better job today, cutting loose things that are simply unnecessary. It’s been an adventure as I have already jammed, and unjammed, a paper shredder. And of course, I vacuumed up the paper clip that I used to unjam the paper shredder.

What does this have to do with Japanese music?

I have to stay motivated to clean! Otherwise, I’ll slack off and spend the day reminiscing, reading lousy undergrad papers and old birthday cards. I need so music that isn’t boring (Aya Matsuura ballads need not apply) to keep me awake. So here’s my playlist for the job:

the brilliant green

• Bye Bye Mr.Mug
• Ai no Ai no Hoshi
• Stand by me
• Tsumetai Hana
• You and I
• Mister Moon
• Falling Star In Your Eyes
• That Boy Waits For me
• Kuroi Tsubasa
• Day After Day
• Sono Speed de
• Rainy Days Never Stay

Do As Infinity

• Another
• Kuusou Ryodan
• Good For You
• Wadachi
• Kagaku no Yoru
• Oasis
• Tangerine Dream
• Tooku Made

GOING UNDER GROUND

• Train
• Twister
• Sentiment Express
• MIRAGE
• RUMBLE

BoA

• Shine We Are!
• DO THE MOTION
• Sparkling

Namie Amuro

• WoWa
• GIRL TALK
• NEW LOOK
• ROCK STEADY
• WHAT A FEELING
• Never Shoulda

I’m also listening to Arcade Fire, not that it really applies to anything else here.

I am going to keep telling people to go to #wotachat. I once ruled over the chatroom with an iron fist, instilling fear into the hearts of all. No longer. This entry from H!P Fangirling like Nobody’s Business was linked. Second Blossoming decided that this was the most appropriate response:

<SecondBlossoming> “Perphaps Kanna reads Broomhead’s blog?”
<SecondBlossoming> I think its Broomhead reads Kanna’s chest

I know what you are thinking. It is pretty obvious what is wrong with this picture…

That’s Chinami Tokunaga!

But this is responding to CK’s H!P Blog. He asked for it!

Question 1: What were you doing 10 years ago:

I was 12 years old…

Question 2: Five (non working) things on my to do list today:

1) Hang out with my dad for a bit.
2) Go for a walk.
3) Continue reading Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris.
4) That’s pretty much it.
5) I’m relaxing today.

Question 3: Snacks I enjoy:

Food’s food.

Question 4: Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Honestly, that is more money than I’d spend. I’d give a lot to my family and watch money ruin their lives. Then, I’d sit in my office and hear people plea for money.

Question 5: Places I have lived:

Boston

Question 6: Jobs I have had:

Secretary, city worker and technically (one job’s a job) computer repair and website design.
