2008年3月19日 SHIBUYA-AXより発売開始

I hunted around the Web for more news, and according to one site, this single is “exclusively sold at [Versailles’] 3/19 Shibuya AX event.”

Does that mean it won’t be available in stores???

Also, a new rock omnibus, CROSS GATE 2008 -chaotic sorrow-, will be released on the 26th of March. The only reason millions of fans are salivating over this release is because it happens to contain a new, hitherto unreleased song by Versailles called “SFORZANDO,” a beautiful and outstanding example of the symphonic/neo-classical metal genre. (Some zealous fan uploaded the song to YouTube, where it’s available for your listening pleasure.)

Music annoys me sometimes, but I don’t think Versailles ever will.

Other news: I added a streaming music player to this blog, accessible through the “Currently Playing” link in the horizontal navigation menu above. As of this writing, my playlist features the aristocratic stylings of Versailles — their 2007 mini-album, Lyrical Sympathy.

| “Innocent sorrow”?*

My deepest apologies to Misaki-san for my insensitivity. I seem to be abusing everyone I know lately.

I’m not sure whether I want to continue writing this blog… I’ve been feeling anti-blogging for several months now, and the upkeep of this site is beginning to feel like an unpleasant chore. Perhaps if I’m actually capable of producing good/original writing… well, perhaps. Perhaps I’ll convert this blog into a writing journal. But I’m not sure yet. The story still has yet to be written.

* Is that something like when you find an injured bird and it dies, and you weep and naively think that it’s gone to a better place? *coughs disbelievingly*

| Hey, it’s a new theme…

And hey, there’s a week left before spring break…*

I am spending way too much time at the public library.

Homework… must work…

Haha, this is pretty sad.

Note: The aesthetically flawless WordPress theme before you was designed completely by myself. On the downside… I think I just reduced my lifespan by five years.

* Actually, that’s more like, “GODDAMMIT!!!!! THERE’S STILL AN ENTIRE WEEK LEFT!!!!!!!!”

| Fighting on

The state primaries of Ohio, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island yesterday has brought Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton a surprising turnaround — among her victories… Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island!

Election results here and here.

Samples from the comments left on Clinton’s blog:

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY WON OHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh happy day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!

——————————

HILLARY WINS OH

HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY
F O R P R E S I D E T

——————————

YES WE DID!

HILLARY = SUPERWOMAN

MY PRESIDENT — OUR PRESIDENT —– YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

——————————

Hillary’s speech was brilliant. I love that she reminded everyone of Ohio’s historical significance. No one has lost the OH primary and won the Whitehouse. I am so excited and inspired right now, and the confetti and deafening cheers were so exciting! I am alone at home, and I was cheering along with the crowd (my neighbors might think I am crazy lol). Thank you OH and RI, and I am optimistic about TX!

——————————

This…..

IS THE HAPPINEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

HILLARY I LOVE YOU AND I AM GLAD YOU DID NOT ANYONE KNOCK YOU DOWN!!

Ahem… that was a very selective offering, since the vast majority contained exclamations of “Praise the Lord!” and “God bless America!” and that kind of nonsense…

At any rate… very reinvigorating night for the Clinton campaign. Hopefully, the rest of America will realize that experience does matter…

[Edit] HAHAHAHAHAHAHA—!!! [/Edit]

| 2 bags for freshness!

“Life Cereal, made with whole grain Quaker oats, tastes good and is a nutritious choice for you and your family!”

Unfortunately, it tastes so fucking good that I usually consume half the bag at one sitting… and I think it ceased to be nutritious a long time ago…

Rehabilitation…? Yes, that would be nice…

Quiet, stupid shoulder demon!!!

Hey, did anyone happen to catch NBC Nightly News (with Brian Williams) last night? He was reporting from Cleveland, Ohio, and right before he signed off, he mentioned something about Northeast Ohioans expecting eight to ten inches of snow later in the evening. (Tim White and Romona Robinson of the local Channel 3 News later refuted that claim, forecasting a meager one to three inches instead: “Eight to ten inches? What was that all about? He obviously didn’t listen to our Betsy Kling!”)

Haha… well, it certainly wasn’t eight to ten inches, but for all intents and purposes, Brian Williams was right.

Which is sort of tragically funny at the same time, since I was earnestly planning to play hooky today.

Daddy: Hey, Jenny, you don’t want to go to school today? The high school’s closed!
Fa: … what? GODDAMMIT. *thoughts turn to the local school district* Wusses!

At which I threw open the window blinds, and realized that there actually was quite a lot of snow outside.

I devoured half a bag of Life cereal later that day.

Debate at CSU

In other news, the last Democratic debate of our national primary season is TONIGHT!

Cleveland State University is hosting the event at 9:00 pm this evening, and both Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be in attendance. Moderators will be Brian Williams and Tim Russert of NBC News.

Reportedly, since there was so much interest in volunteering at the debate, two separate lotteries were held to divvy up the slots!

Americans and Earthlings, prepare yourselves! History is in the making!
