Gackt-sama! So beautiful… so elegant… I’m simply overcome with admiration…
(Please note: Normally I would sooner stab a fork into my forehead than follow the idiotic masses in the Web 2.0 revolution and embed a YouTube video into any of my Web pages, but I realize people are lazy and would be less likely to follow an external link… so here it is! Gackt’s god-like music video for “Vanilla.”)
A subtitled version of the video can also be accessed here, but since “Vanilla” is really a pure sex song (but one of my favorites regardless), I should warn you… the lyrics are… you know…
Other than that, my summer vacation is proceeding along quite splendidly.

The Baby V.O.X. Special Album CD that Jacky-Lin lent me was immensely enjoyable, owing to its dance/hip-hop style and the cool complementary VCD. However, I was saddened to discover that the members have long since disbanded.
The members at the time of its release:
- Kim E-Z (김이지) (the rapper of the group, my favorite)
- Lee Hee-Jin (이희진)
- Shim Eun Jin (심은진)
- Kan Mi Youn (간미연) (leader)
- Yoon Eun Hye (윤은혜)
A good Baby V.O.X. resource is beautifulvoices.net, which is where I obtained the picture.

It’s SPRING BREAK, and it’s going sw-eet. The only potential caveats are the annoying SAT/PSAT test prepping and the need to invest in a pair of ear plugs… for when I’m not outside, bike-riding, and being one with nature.
Miyavi is my hero. Such a pretty, quirky, “young and flamboyant” guy. I also enjoy hearing him scream; so far, he’s the only rock musician who’s achieved that distinction.
“Are you ready, ready to go?”
After making a few revisions this afternoon, my client’s Web site has finally been launched. Now I’m ready to go outside and greet the world… maybe frighten some Canadian geese… and perhaps visit Steffy-Lin aka K-chan. ^_^

Uhhh, I am feeling out of it. Long story short, I devoured three chocolate chip cookies, one package of Florida’s Natural fruit string, a bagel, and truckloads of graham crackers this morning. The greatly increased sugar intake, of course, caused me to feel hyperactive and strangely happy. The effect began to wear off after school, so I ate another dozen graham crackers to remedy this. Unfortunately, exhaustion set in for good around 5:00 pm in the afternoon, and I ensconced myself on the sofa until I realized that I would be in major doo-doo if I didn’t get a start on my homework.
Then, wonder of wonders, the goddess of fate deigned to smile upon me and blessed all of the beleaguered students in our school district with yet another SNOW DAY.
Ah, there is a truly a terrible but wondrous beauty in snowfall so thick and rapid that it forces responsible parents to fear for their children’s safety and to agree to not to bring them to Taekwondo class, to spend hours backed up on the freeway and to leave irate messages on the answering machine, and to spend two hours relaying the tale of their murderous return journey over the telephone, while their high schooler daughter waits impatiently for an opportunity to access the Web via a dial-up Internet connection, and watches a news special on Mormon polygamy instead.
Well, well, well.
As an extremely relevant aside, F.I.R. is perhaps the best Chinese-speaking band I’ve ever heard. Their pop/rock style is original, the production quality is first-rate, and Faye’s vocals are practically angelic. Real is also a very talented singer… and Ian! I love his sunglasses ^_^.
