Another music


   After some time of lack of music here, few new bites^^
I never know what to do with Gavy NJ. Some songs I love and still play, and some are simply mediocre. Anyway, nice voice and some really nice projects. 
I found also one jazz single, for those who like jazz (I have always on my mind Sugar from Some Like It Hot saying on the beach: "Yeah, jaaazzz", every time I hear this word). And I promised to keep an eye on any release by Bubble Sisters. And here we have.

Why history is a b*tch


An interesting article (albeit a bit on the US ground):

Japanese or Korean?

   
    Some people think, when they are able to understand 5 words in a drama/movie/song, that they probably should share their wisdom with everyone else. Either that "everyone else" wants it or not. And they base their opinion on "what I think". Sorry to disappoint you but "what I think" methodology is wrong. Of course, in scientific research this approach is very appropriate under one condition - one needs to have the background for it. And background is not "cause I think so". The background is - getting familiar with the whole methodology. I hated this word during my MA studies, but now, when facing PhD, I feel like I'm in a deep hole because I lack the methodology. Fear not, I'm finding it slowly (some hawt guys don't make it any easier, but whatever). But to develop one's own approach, finding out more about the background - this is what's most important. You can't write a thesis about the dark matter (astron.) basing on your own thoughts. You need to read the results of someone else's research. Every great idea in the world comes exactly from this point. One is either against it (and proposes one's own interpretation of the matter), or agrees on it (and proposes the developped and deepened version of it).
This is why I'm annoyed, and probably not only me, of those who claim to know everything on some topic, basing on their own limited knowledge. You don't need to read all books in your library, that's not the point, but do some research on the matter that interests you the most.

Entertainment in you

A treat for band members in US?

   There was this song by Depeche Mode , and I feel exactly like it. Because some men turn me into damn sinner.
Well, some gender-confused as well. Because I sin against my own gender for not looking as pretty as them. Plus, cursing also counts.
Yes, I did some cuts from Entertainment Weekly last episode.
Yucheon sweety, Ha Jung Woo, and Ga... I mean The Diva. Yes, you read that right. Because the rankings in EW is just becoming weirder by the day. This time topic: Kkotboda Namja. That is... hell, I think everyone knows what's coming. And everyone can guess the winner.

Gutter


I was about to write some meaningful and moving post, but Ori guttered me out with those below.
Well, thank you, chingu. Thank you very much.

Musical Awards nominees


The Musical Awards, Korea’s version of the Tonys, enters its fifth year in the first week of June and is hoping that two major changes to this year’s ceremony will bring it greater prestige.

Twenty-six musicals will vie for awards in 21 categories this year, including best creative musical, best small theater creative musical, best foreign licensed musical and best revival, as well as awards for best director, actress and actor.

Awards are given to musicals performed from May 1, 2010, to April 30, 2011, in theaters with a capacity of 400 or more. There are also various technical awards for best lighting and sound, best stage setting and best costumes.

47th Baeksang Awards



47th Baeksang Awards 2011
Yucheon got 2, and Ha Jungwoo got 1. I'm heppey, yess...
Oh, and just to bitch over the "Best Drama" category. Personally I couldn't finish, and probably never will Secret Garden. 2010 had few better drama than this, and I seriously don't understand the hype. It wasn't bad drama, no, but you see, I'm on 36th episode of Gisaeng... and waiting impatiently for another episode, and it took me a month to move from episode 10 to 12 in SG. Gumiho: Tale of the Fox Child was by far better than this, Life Is Beautiful was better, hell, SKKS was better. Just don't get it.
Now you can throw rocks.

My poor heart


 Oh Gods, one year...
Withdrawal syndrom is terrible. Kids, don't do that at home.

Several Things That Make Us...


   A new drama from the famous writer No Sense and highly acclaimed director Ai Screwyoo! Unbelievable! Unpredictable! Moves you to ... ee... pharmacy for another anti-puking drug.
A friend of mine once said that sometimes I post a half of dozen posts here (hey, my lof, I know you are reading this!). Sometimes I don't post at all. I don't post only in two times in my life - extremely drunk ( I call it Star Trek times) and depression times (I call it Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas times). The former is the cure for the latter.
Anyway, real life drama.

Ripley teaser


   I just melted down while watching the interview yesterday. Partly this boy's fault, but partly Kim Seungwu's fault as well. I like how he takes care of Yucheon, kind of reminds me Kim Gabsu in it.
This will be a long summer...
