Okay! Fine! I'm a hypocrite!

But that's so old news anyway!

Yes, so I said I would not go on MSN tonight.

I went on MSN for like 5 mins, so that doesn't count!

Yeah, there's a really really good movie on right now. Every Saturday, at 9:00 PM Omni 2 has a chinese movie for like two hours, usually it's made by Chinese and not dubbed, but there was this couple of weeks that it was all Korean movies that were being dubbed. They were pretty good actually.

It's called "Sounds of color" and here's the premise.

There is a girl named Hoi Yuek. She's blind, lives with her father and works at a library for the blind. One day, she gets a little paphlet in the mail, so she gets one of her colleagues at the library to read it to her. It's basically a dating service, run by a guy named Yuk Ming.

At the business, Yuk Ming is confronted by a bunch of men...who demand their money back. Apparently, Yuk Ming attempted to con an old man of his money by setting him up with some chick named Fiona, who he later saw in the magazine.

In trouble, she calls some random number and leaves a message.

At the same time, Hoi Yuek decides to give the service a try. She calls in, and helps Yuk Ming out by pretending to be Fiona.

Well that's the last they hear from each other.

Sometime later (I don't know, a few days?) Hoi Yuek's father brings her to Yuk Ming's dating service, in hopes that he can find someone for her.

Yuk Ming wants money, so of course he accepts, but really when the time comes, he goes in the supposed "client's" place, in order to trick Hoi Yuek. Of course, Hoi Yuek being blind and having a freakish keen senses, knows that it's Yuk Ming. He says that his client will be late, and volunteers to go with Hoi Yuek as a replacement.

At the end of the date, Yuk Ming starts to feel pretty guilty...since you know, he DOES have a heart. But whatever, let's move on.

(There are actually two stories in the movie, one with Hoi Yuek and another with a heart-broken girl, completely unrelated)

So this guy at this office, sends this letter to a girl (he has her business card), but accidently it gets sent to the wrong person. Unexpectedly, he receives a reply, from a girl whose heart was broken by a guy.

So he goes to Hong Kong, in an effort to find this girl who he mistakenly sent the letter to, eventually he meets her and the two kick it off.

Meanwhile, time continues onward, Yuk Ming gets a large quantity of "Sliming" drink, which he hears can strengthen his...well let's just say his groin area will be glowing too.

Unfortunately, he goes blind.

Thus he struggles to be able to live with his new self, however with the help from Hoi Yuek, he learns how to cope with his blindness.

It's a love story, so of course there's a really touching ending (or a really bad one...you know love stories), and since I'm SUCH a good person, I won't tell you guys the ending. (Quite frankly, last time I watched it, I missed the ending...so...*cough*)


Of course in real life, such a thing can never happen, or it can happen but very rarely. Personally, I still found the movie to be very sweet, and it still tears me up inside.

Well, actually earlier I lied, the two stories connect in the end, though the connection is really the ending...and the fact that they're both love stories.

So the movie is called "Sounds of Color" and personally, I love it to bits.

And if you have mIRC, or a friend with tons and tons of manga, I suggest trying to get "Never Give Up," it was recommended by a very dear friend of mine and now I recommend it to you, my beloved readers. Unless you're that friend...then I say thank you! (Though quite frankly, that's one cruel mother...referring to Minase Kiri's mother, the one who owns the supermodel business...."become a man right now.")

And it turns out that KKM the manga, is based off of the anime! And the first chapter just goes up to the part till Yuuri is lifted by the skeleton, then it ends. Then it ends...

Oh man..now I can't sleep tonight! This always happens when I watch something that tugs at my heart strings! I end up lying in bed, shifting about, staring into empty space. Or at least a wall. Usually staring into a wall, not space.

Damnit!

And that is why I went on the computer even when I said I wasn't going to...that and to print out the script for "Yah! (or without the h)" teaser, just sets up the situation for the guys to move in with the girls, well, move in one floor above.

Thanks for everything Yuy-sama! You're the best!

And to my friends working on "Yah! (or without the h)" thank you as well! I still think it works with the h....



On a COMPLETELY different topic, the GameFAQs "character battles" are always so rigged. Here is what to watch out for.

1. Nintendo characters ALWAYS pwn everyone else.

2. Final Fantasy characters pwn the rest.

3. Nintendo always pwns Fianl Fantasy, unless it's Cloud or Sephiroth...

Case in point, let's examine a past battle.

Donkey Kong (Nintendo) vs. Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell)

Now according to the rules above, DK should win by a landslide...

According to yesterday's results, he did.

Ah..."Sounds of Color" is really good, I really recommend it to anyone and everyone.
