Fires in California
The air quality in the bay area was deemed worse than Beijing on Tuesday, October 12. My cousin couldn't notice any changes in the air. I tried to explain to her how things visually changed.
The sky not a clear blue any more. The sun casts a golden glow everywhere. It looks like the sun is rising or setting all time, despite the hour of the day.
Spoiler: Twilight Town had horrible air quality.
Jackie Chan has been promoting the Foreigner
Jackie Chan on talk shows: I want to be thought of as an actor.
Twitter questions for Jackie Chan: How do you break cinder blocks with fists?
I've been reading some posts ranting about reformulations. They seem to have legitimate concerns until they say that their skin has not changed. Because the rants come from beauty bloggers, who try different things all the time, I have a hard time believing that the issue at hand are the the products. Skin changes frequently and is not soley based on skincare. Do they eat the same thing every day?
I watched Children Who Chase Lost Voices
I agree with other people who say that it is visually stunning and has a fantastic music score. I don’t think the creators could have done better. The film was done in a similar style to a Miyazaki film.
Because those two aspects are really good, I am disappointed that the story has so many plot holes. I am not a fan of the director who created 5 centimeters per second or the film. I had to watch it sped up just to get through the film. I don’t think I finished watching it the first time because it was so boring. As someone who looks forward to well written universes, someone with poor vision, and someone with slow and expensive American internet service, attention to details in a movie is not what I look for. While it is important, I would much rather have a plot that makes sense.
Plot hole 1: Shun’s death and song
It is revealed later that quetzalcoatl sing their song when they die. They did not mention humans. Shun’s song is the one that Asuna could not forget and wanted to hear again, but Shun was never describe as someone with musical talents. Where is the character development? Shun seems to have psychic powers because he apparently wanted to meet the person who heard his last song before he died and he has always wanted Asuna to live. If this was a translation error during the english dubbing, I would be very angry.
Plot hole 2: Tainted blood
The izoku monsters come at night to take and eat those with tainted blood. The movie shows only two people with tainted blood, Asuna and Manna. Manna is mute which is supposedly the reason for being tainted. The izoku are constantly chasing Asuna at night, but the writers did not give her any strength to combat them. Her companions needed to fight for her.
Plot hole 3: Equivalent exchange
The myth that the teacher, Ryujii, speaks of in the beginning is not similar to the ending of his own quest. That is failed foreshadowing.
Not a plot hole 1: Asuna’s scarf
During the end credits, Asuna’s scarf is seen tied on Shin’s right arm, the exact same place where Shun had her scarf when he was last seen. Some people who have noticed this did not notice other things, such as the fact that the scarf was usually kept tied around her neck, under her collar. She really did get another one from her school, because she has the scarf around her neck again when she starts her journey to Agartha. Some people shipped AsunaxShun so hard that they thought Shun never died, and that Shin is actually Shun in disguise. Desperate. The scarf was probably a parting gift, since Asuna has no way of coming back to Agartha.
Not a plot hole 2: Asuna’s character
Asuna is, in my opinion, a well thought out character. Her biggest issue is that she cannot live her life fully. After her father passed, a large part of her happiness was gone, and she only has the clavis to remember him by. No details are given about his death, only that he was happy that Asuna was born. While she doesn’t seem to be stricken with grief, she is not interested in being with other people. Instead, she listens to the ethereal music on her radio and dreams of being in a different place.
After facing death multiple times, Asuna has her life flash before her eyes, reminding her of the things that she had or should have cherished. It is because of her adventure, that she is able to live her life happily, and safely, above the ground.
Creepy thing 1: Asuna’s teacher, Ryujii, acts more as a cautionary tale and glimpse into the future. Ten years after his wife’s death, he sacrifices Asuna and his eye to get his wife back. Though that is already immoral, people, namely myself, may also be revolted at the idea of him loving his wife’s soul through a young girl’s body. We only see his wife through Ryujii’s failing eye, so we don’t know if her body had transformed or if it was a trick of the eye, but it’s very possible that Asuna’s body did not change while going through possession.
Children Who Chase Lost Voices was not as melodramatic, simple, or obvious as Makoto Shinkai’s other works. That is probably the only reason why I like it more than his other works.
I don’t know if Makoto wants to become the next director of studio ghibli but this movie was basically his audition. Some ghibli films also have plot holes so I don’t think he is far off from ghibli’s trademark features.
Harry Potter and How the Scene Should Have Gone
Umbridge: Mr. Potter, do you expect to be attacked in my class?
Harry: Yes.
Umbridge: What?
Harry: Well, I mean, I'm running four for four.
Umbridge: Mr. Potter-
Harry: Quirrel tried to choke me out.
Umbridge: Mr. Potter-
Harry: And Lockhart tried to wipe my memory.
Umbridge: Mr. Potter-
Harry: Of course, Professor Lupin didn't mean it. He just forgot his potion, but still, totally went werewolf on me.
Umbridge: MR. POTTER-
Harry: And then Moody turned out to be an escaped Death Eater in disguise.
Umbridge: POTTER!
Harry: So, yeah, I figure it's 100% you'll attack me in June, 50/50 you'll try to kill me, with a 25% chance of an Unforgivable curse.
Harry: (Turns to Hermione)
Harry: Did I get the math right?
Hermione: Yes.

The White Death Note thing on netflix has me so worried
I mean. You realize you’re literally making a movie about a white boy “cleansing” american prisons right. You realize what the american prison system is right. You do realize your country already has enough problems with “lonely” white boys who think they can get away with murder without punishment for being white right.
You can’t grab a story like that and completely change the context without it turning into a huge fucking mess
You should share this for people in DC and close to you!!

In an effort to find more groups that dance like gfriend, I found oh my girl, but they are still lacking. I like their music but their choreography lacks musical focus. Choreography usually emphasizes an aspect of of the music such as lyric, beat, tempo, or bass line while being visually captivating, but the choreo of closer could have been so much better if they had taken their time on it. Oh my girl doesn't have a captivating vocalist and has too many superficial formation changes. This means that formation changes are for facial or individual focus rather than adding to the choreography. My last qualm which is probably the most atypical is that they're too skinny for me to enjoy watching them. Many people have compared oh my girl to gfriend and snsd. While I'm not a fan of snsd, I am a fan of gfriend, and these were my reasons for not becoming a fan of oh my girl.
GFRIEND Fingertip thoughts
They’ve got a new concept but similar music. If anything, the title track is more like kpop rather than their usual jpop similarities. I like the TANG TANG TANG part, but not the FINGRER FINGERTIP x2 at the end of the chorus. I like cheesy songs but not quite as cheesy as Twice’s TT. I wasn’t a fan of navillera when it first came out but I grew to love it. Side note: most lyrics write it as tang tang tang, but I hear chang chang chang. Whie the progression of chords is typical, the lyrics match the feelings the vocals and music provide and that’s always good.
Their dance style is slightly different too but the overall planning is better than previous titles. That’s a big claim to make but I can’t stop watching them. It reminds me more of boy group dancing this time because there are less flowery jazz hands. Their movements involve more shoulders and boxy rather than flowing. They also have that one move that Seventeen was famous for in Adore U. Having said that, their choreography incorporates new moves that are feminine. The dancing is incorporated well into the music video too. All of the important dance sections are shown and aren’t cut too much.
The music video itself has a lot of references to their past symbols: butterflies, marbles, clocks, flowers, moving stuffed animals. Referring to previous works shows continuity and careful planning. The result gives fans flashes of nostalgia and rewards them emotionally in the same way a tv or movies series can. I would like them to continue with the moving stuffed animals whenever possible. Their concept has changed from school girls to military styles, meaning that their classic flowing skirts wont be seen this promotion period but will likely be seen in performances later down the line. I’ve always loved Gfriend’s flowing skirts integrated into their choreography because It was never done like that in pop culture before. While the The constellation Orion can be seen at the end of the video. The entire setting for the video is interplanetary. The planets, stars, and improper military uniforms make me feel like they’re all sailor scouts. The distortion of space, surreal connection between scenes, victorian styled clothing for the single female protagonist, and slightly pleasant while jarring color scheme remind me strongly of alice in wonderland. These are some concepts that I close to my heart. The fact that I could relate to Gfriend’s concept, yet again, speaks to how and and why they are the only girl group that I like in kpop.
The plot line of the music video is said to refer to greek mythology, however, because the plot line does not closely follow the myth, I don’t associate them together. Personally, I prefer the use of fairy or folk tales over greek or roman mythology for inspiration in stories because of the relevance degree of accuracy . The idea that everything was a dream was a good conclusion because the introduction showed their ethereal selves emerging from their bodies. Instead of seeing SinB as Eunha’s twin, I see her as a rouge agent of Eunha’s consciousness. It doesn’t make much sense to follow that idea throughout the plot, especially because it was a dream, but it is an alternative interpretation. If I had a choice, music videos would not be difficult to explain. There’s a difference between making something hard to understand versus leaving space for multiple interpretations.
Gfriend’s member visuals have changed. I love Umji’s new hair. I prefer Yerin’s previous hair color. I’m open to adding highlights or dimension, but I would rather that her hair was not damaged too much from keeping it a light color. I prefer Sowon’s previous hair color. SinB’s new hair suits her personality. Yuju’s slight hair change should be easier for her to manage onstage. Eunha’s hair is the same but I’d like to share their answer to an interview question:
- Who became the prettiest since 'Glass Bead'?
Members: "Definitely Eunha. The bobbed-hair was a godsend. She also lost lots of her baby fat. Her pretty face features are now well revealed."
Eunha: "(laughs) I feel blessed thanks to everyone complimenting me with my beauty. I'm happy because everyone had an unified opinion of me."
Sowon: "We're not saying you're the prettiest of us 6, it's that you improved the most."
This post was made to keep me sane.

So I've read a little bit about net tlneutrality, which is the belief that internet providers should treat all content as equal. This concept is different from the proposed legislation. Since I haven't found the document or any reliable coverage of it, I don't know what it stipulates but there are a few important things to keep in mind. Is the legislation providing service to only low income areas? How will it affect our privacy? How will it affect pricing? How will it affect competition? I honestly don't see much competition for internet providers so it's not an actual question. Ive only seen a few areguements against net neutrality but they sound fear-laden rather than an argument against government policy.

That one time I was clever in high school
We have a new teacher and he never said his first name. His badge stated V as his first initial. He was Asian. I asked him if,his,name was victor, which was also the name of my uncle. He said no. Then I asked if his name was vincent and he was like, "how did you know?" XD I smirked Well it wasn't Vladimir. There are very few names that start with v.
