Hidarime Tantei Eye Drama - Thoughts
Out of curiosity, I started watching Hidarime Tantei Eye (I'm so late, I know). Not going to lie--I love Yoko, so I was watching it mainly for eye candy XD. For some reason, Yoko tends to have the villain role in a lot of his dramas (not that I mind...he looks amazing in black XD)...

KonMari
Recently picked up Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing...
I do have to say, it's quite an interesting read. Granted, the book isn't that hard to get through--it's a compilation of all her advice, and meant to demonstrate her tidying and decluttering methods. Furthermore, it's not like any of this is new--Kondo seems to advocate quite a bit of purging and overall, minimalism in her book. (As a bit of a hoarder myself, I can attest that I probably hold too many things in storage for my own good...)

When knowing Chinese is actually useful...
Now resorting to youku to watch Arashi shows subbed in Chinese.
What has my life come to =.=
(Although granted, I'm quite glad I kept up with Chinese for the past 10 or so years. I can't write, but at least I can recognize enough characters to make sense of subs, and type pinyin to actually communicate. *_*)

Random dramblings/ponderings
It's been a while since I used LJ...quite honestly, I was such a Tumblr fan for the past 3-4 years that I completely forgot what it felt like to have clean lines and actual content rather than just jumping gifs/colorful pictures while scrolling through my browser @@
Maybe it's an age thing? You learn to appreciate many things that your younger self didn't.
Thinking about it, I'm quite surprised to find myself revisiting a lot of old fandoms that I was a part of a couple years back. There's a joke that many fangirls can relate to, which would be that we could probably all classify our lives into stages of fandom XD In fact, here's mine:
Elementary years: Anime/Manga
Junior high: J-pop (particularly Arashi, Ayumi Hamasaki, w-inds)
High school/college: K-pop (the most ridiculous years of my life)
After college: Somehow jumping back into J-pop/anime?? My Arashi craze lately has spiked enormously compared to my K-pop interests...o_o
