The past few weeks K-Pop fandom has been one sad news after another. So, when good news like these come up all in one day? Well, I just have to fangirl over them.

The preview of DBSK upcoming japan single has been leaked AND AVEX just stated that despite the dispute with their Korean agency, SM Ent. there would be no change with DBSK japanese activities. Which is a big YAY for the whole fandom after all the legal drama. I'm not gonna say anything about the preview song, I'm just glad I could see them together again after such a long time. Please to put the disbandment issue to rest, bb(s), thank you.Oh, and, AVEX? Could you please maybe perform major acquisition on SM, so the boys could be forever taken care of by you only, kthx.

Moving on. Jaebum shouting, 'What time is it now?' through Seattle-Seoul international phone call as an encouragement during 2PM rehearsal on Music Bank is just so PRECIOUS. Bring him back soon, JYP. We know they've been doing a good job holding up the fort without him but clearly they miss their leader something fierce, too.

Lastly, this clip is what really made my day today with its awesomeness. It's a music video of Mighty Mouth featuring Insooni in their song, Laugh. I always love Insooni and her gorgeous voice. The lady would be having her second Carnegie Hall concert on February 5th, 2010. Wish I could be there. But back to the PV, what makes this PV so squeeze-able is the laughters-a-day-keep-the-doctor-away theme and the number of major win cameos that appear in it, like Epik High, Kim Tae Woo, and 2AM to name a few. *loves*

Yeah, to sum it all up, my reaction today couldn't be better expressed other than,

'Dear, K-fandom? Thanks for being so fabulously grope-able today, I just want to do this to you in return. No, I'm not a creeper.'

A/N: Just a...thing I threw in together in respond to takarai_karin prompt while stressing in the middle of writing my international civil law paper. Obviously I was crazy. Title and few lines stolen from Plushgun's A Crush to Pass the Time, cause it was on loop in my player while writing this.

Humm... I dunno, I guess if I have to pick it on the spot, it would be The Zuton's Valerie? Valerie being 'my life in general' and I'm Dave McCabe here. Cause sometimes I feel like my life is one big improvisation; things thrown at me and I have to react. We're in a love/hate relationship here 'my life' and I XP  I think if someone made a movie of my life, it'd make a great comedy. One that wouldn't sell, being produced in low budget standard, and chock full with obscure references that makes the viewers have the justifiable urge to brain the maker for the lack of funny factor.
...Okay, fine, so it wouldn't be a great comedy. One can only hope.

Anywayy..., here have some lovely tunes with squeezable lyrics:

The Zutons - Valerie

Ahahaha... ohhh seriously? No, no, reaaallyyy... Seriously?? *is drunk and therefore incoherent*

Oh, and also? Kelsen please don't be breaking my head, pleasee... Trying to make sense of your book feels like watching one of those magic shows in television, where you know you're just being tricked right under your nose but seriously have no idea how. And, Austin? Shaddap. Okay? You're wrong. No, no, no. You're wrong. Kelsen prove it (even though he ended up getting kind of lost himself). So stop making me chasing around my tail in circle, cause you so don't want to see me break down and cry.

...Okay. You probably want to, cause of what I've said to you. But, really, man you deserve it.

Right. I'll just... uhh go back to my fangirling corner. It's prettier there with all the bishies. *makes grabby hand*

So, after last Saturday finishing the written test, tomorrow will be the interview day for graduate school entrance. Excited? Duh. Nervous? Heh, this is me putting my attitude game face on, buuut... to answer that question, yeah, definitely nervous and as jittery as a severely caffeine addict on a painful withdrawal. (points to self)

On that note, how come nobody ever told me about this ridiculously adorable fact that both Jaejoong and Junsu used to wear girls jeans? XP And, whoa, JJ wore girls jeans size 24? That's... uhm, are you sure you're not actually a girl, boy? I mean, I don't think I know any girl within their age range who actually wears size 24... But hey to each his own. Also, Junsu's comment about how men's pants are a bit too baggy for him seriously cracks me up, considering the fact that he has the exact build as Brendon Urie, right to a certain particular body part. It reminds me of this interview where Brendon used the same reason to defend his wearing girls jeans fact by saying that he likes to wear jeans that fit and only girls jeans that fit him. Oh, fandommm... *g*

Um, this?

This is why you guys are fabulous, YooSu. At times like this I can almost forgive your Konglish-dandyboy-sekuhara persona, Yoochun. Ignore the naysayers, YooSu is REUL, people.

These kind of articles should be circulated more, cause people around the world are smart enough to see that it all boils down to war crime and human rights violation there. But that also shouldn't be used as an excuse to start hating on the Jewish people indiscriminately. The Zionist group in control of Israel does not represent the Jewish people as a whole. It's politics and many Jewish people are against the war as much as the non-Jewish people.

Rather than pointing fingers and speculating on who's to blame, it's better to try to pitch in what little we can give/do to help the Gazans.


International Jewish Groups Protest Gaza Violence

Gideon Levy / An open response to A.B. Yehoshua

The real damage in Gaza: Israel believes it has struck a blow against Hamas, but the true casualty of this war is its own moral legitimacy

Juan Cole has asked that we post this article on all the blogs, so I am doing my small part here:


"ISRAEL has sought to justify its military attacks on Gaza by stating that it amounts to an act of "self-defence" as recognised by Article 51, United Nations Charter. We categorically reject this contention.

The rocket attacks on Israel by Hamas deplorable as they are, do not, in terms of scale and effect amount to an armed attack entitling Israel to rely on self-defence. Under international law self-defence is an act of last resort and is subject to the customary rules of proportionality and necessity.

The killing of almost 800 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and more than 3,000 injuries, accompanied by the destruction of schools, mosques, houses, UN compounds and government buildings, which Israel has a responsibility to protect under the Fourth Geneva Convention, is not commensurate to the deaths caused by Hamas rocket fire.

For 18 months Israel had imposed an unlawful blockade on the coastal strip that brought Gazan society to the brink of collapse. In the three years after Israel's redeployment from Gaza, 11 Israelis were killed by rocket fire. And yet in 2005-8, according to the UN, the Israeli army killed about 1,250 Palestinians in Gaza, including 222 children. Throughout this time the Gaza Strip remained occupied territory under international law because Israel maintained effective control over it.
