Random randomness...

[gnine]

First off, officially confirmed, we get David Tennant as the Doctor past fourth season!!. Hazaah! No fifth season in 2009, just specials, but at least those specials will still have ten and RTD at the helm, which makes me ridiculously happy. I can't help it, Who is love! *nimbly dodges utopiantrunks's wrath*

Secondly, this vid started up a YT phenomenon two months ago and probably most people have already seen it, but the entire idea of dance seeming to work as an incredibly effective prison reform method is just to awe-inspiring! Considering the acclaim it's getting, I hope more prisons give it a go.

Thirdly, I do so love the abundance of massage parlors in Japan. Mmm, my shoulders are sooo much happier.

And last but not least, getting locked out of one's apartment sucks! Thankfully my landlord is a very accommodating fellow or I would have been stuck waiting almost five hours till neechan returned from work. In un-air-conditioned halls. (Anyone who's been to Kyoto in the summer will understand the true gravity of such a situation, I guarantee!)

And thus concludes the random ramblings for today (hey, at least I'm posting, ne?)

w00t for Ten continuing on! I wonder why the gap year, though? :( That's gonna be a bit of a bummer... But the guarantee of not losing our Doctor is definitely comforting. ^^

I hadn't seen that video. Pretty cool to see so many people dancing in unison! I kinda worry for that dude who was dressed up as the chick, though. O_o

Also... *noogies*

Gap year because, get this, he's doing Hamlet with the RSC...and guess who's playing Claudius...PATRICK STEWART!! OMG I sooo wanna be in England next Fall!!

Also, your icon amuses me...

Any word on when you'll be coming?

o_O GAAAHHHH, I wanna see it!!!! I wonder if I'll be here, though. >_>;

Also, your icon amuses me...

Whaaaaaat? I didn't gay the movie up... it totally did that on its own.

Uhm, it looks like I should be there in October? Sometime. Ish. I think. o_O

Just discussing it below with naye. So not joking about wanting to go...hmm, would your mom mind if we crashed there? I bet she'd be interested in coming as well. And neechan has never been to England...

It does sound like a cool expedition... We'd have to look into it and figure out when it'd be, 'cause MAK isn't sure of her plans that far ahead... but it's worth looking into...

Who IS love! *grin*

And that is good news. Hey, how about some Hamlet in London next year? We've done seiyuu in Tokyo, I think fine British (and Scottish!) actors in London should be next. XD

J & I have been considering this, seriously. (hey, for you it's only a hop across the water XD) Wonder how quickly the tix will sell out?? DT will make such a fine Hamlet, and then, well, Patrick Stewart!!! Even if you're not a Trekkie you must understand a little... ;)

[naye]

Exactly! London is CLOSE (says the person used to Japan, now). Patrick Stewart! Ooooooh~! Totally don't have to be a Trekkie to get that! :D

So if you all are going to meet in England to see David and Patrick in Hamlet, you won't mind if I join you, will you? I should be familiar with Who and David by then, and you already know I share the passion for Patrick. And meeting in England? Sounds good to me!

By the way... massage parlors? ... Do they actually call any place that isn't only-semi-secretly a brothel a massage parlor? DAMMIT WOMAN, WHAT ARE YOU GETTING UP TO IN JAPAN?!?!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Err...I don't know what else to call them! Fancy places...that give massages. Feels very new age, low lighting, pleasant scents, and very modern. They're all over the place in Japan...

[utopiantrunks.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm.... so you're not getting the "happy ending"? Reeeeeeally?

[stitcher2ficcer.livejournal.com]

Nice to hear what you're up to. The prison dance vid is interesting; great concept!

Just out of curiosity, was your masseuse male or female? What's most common in Japan in that regard?
