we love Halloween. and we love Boardwalk Empire.
Kevin was Richard Harrow. and i was his (period appropriate) nurse.
(his mask hand-made by him with clay and such.)
so many people recognized him and were sooo excited.
was happy to see that happen. :)

some billboards i wouldnt mind seeing everyday.
like this one. Akari Hayami.早見あかり.
(photograph taken by Kenshu Shintsubo)
Akari was in a idol group called Momoiro Clover,
but recently withdrew, after much doubt and feeling like she didnt quit fit in with them.
i think she's beautiful. i like the curl at the corner of her lips. i like her hint of mystery.

Kev showed me this last week.
usually, I am not into just cutsie typical idol girls/groups.
but this one is an exception.
later half of the video gets quirky trippy and its great!
but beware, its super catchy. |

these days are such extremes.
extreme work and extreme play
and not much in-betweens of calm.
it feels like im rushing running charging through
while at a complete stand still.
in a few months
itll be better.
がんばろう。 |

gawd! this is so good.
its been playing on repeat.
first heard on Assassins Creed Revelations trailer:
(which is beautifully made. and should be watched in HD)
the power of sound and images.
so intense. such drama and tragedy.
i want to sink into it. and let it engulf me. |

recent days are of work and solitude.
i need to finish these pieces within the week.
feels like ive been staring at them and struggling with them for too long. much too long.
but i suppose it is ok to have different phases and relationships with them.
nothing should ever be too smooth and easy.
but still..
it is time for them to be completed.
and move on to the next. |

i see Kevin for a few days every 2 or 3 weeks.
which is considered often for a long distance relationship.
but still. it never seems quite enough.
i should take more photos. and keep record here more often. |

last night i watched "Kokuhaku (Confessions)".
throughout the film i couldn't understand it's purpose.
i thought "my gosh. why would anyone make this!? what good will this do!?"
it touched on the unbelievably dark and sinister nature of some of these teenagers.
the bullying and complete lack of respect for others, made me feel repulsed and frightened.
though i wanted to look away, i couldnt.
the opening scene with Takako Matsu's speech was brilliant.
the whole film was beautifully shot. (and well worth a second watch just for this)
and with the ending, i realized the directors/writer's intentions.
i still feel haunted by it though.
a strange chill still lingers.. |

currently liking Javier Bardem.
i find him quite sexy, even in "No Country for Old Men".
Watched "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" last night, and seeing his encounters with women is titillating.
usually i am visually drawn to slender androgynous boys, so this is a bit different and exctiting. |

strange old photos. more here.
this sleep schedule is strange.
falling asleep at 6am and waking up in the early afternoon.
i am doing better though.
things dont feel quite real.
like a thick bubble. or like floating.
myself but not myself.
like fiction. pretend. make believe.
which somehow works for me.
letting my thoughts stray off on its own is dangerous sometimes.
it ends up stuck in a peculiar dark place. and spirals down. on repeat.
and so,
its much better to find a way control it. and stick with it.
seems like its working for now.
i sigh less. giggle more.
we'll see where this goes... |

am reading The Walking Dead graphic novel,
and am listening to The Stand audio book while working.
(after finishing World War Z)
and was now listening to a podcast about the black plague (on SYSK).
apparently obsessed with apocalyptic scenarios. |
