I hate having to go to bed early. Mostly because whenever I know I have to be up early, and it is pretty important to have a good night's sleep, I find myself wide awake.
Right now, I know we have a huge day tomorrow. I haven't slept well this past week - not anything to do wth anything other than not changing my sleeping habits despite having to get up 2 hours earlier (I didnt even get a lie in this morning because my mechanic was coming to fix my car*). I don't have much energy because I keep forgetting to eat, so an early night to re-energise would probably be wise. It's nearly 1 am ... Yet all I want to do is watch the next episode of Devil Beside You.
One more thing.
IT'S TOMORROW.

*which he did, and then he found a load more problems to fix. Aces.

Dancing Out
I kind of wanted this post to be somewhat of a reflection of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, but now I think about it, I don't know what to say.
Was it impressive?
Yes.
Did it blow me away?
No.
I didn't like how our history started at the industrial revolutuion, rather than even hinting at the rich and influencial past we have not only nationally, but across the world. The actual production? To me, it lacked something. Precision, maybe. I have such vivid memories of the Bejing opening ceremony and how the synchronised sections were so utterly flawless that it took your breath away. In London, the timing always seemed ever so slightly off, especially in the first 'history' section, and the non-professional performers stood out like an extremely awkward sore thumb. The guys who were really getting into it were great ... the very British half hearted-ers were somewhat disappointing and a quite frankly a little embarrassing.
The Queen being delivered to the stadium by James Bond? Epic. Mr. Bean? Amazing. The British humour mixed with renowned characters is something that the majority would understand. The GOSH and NHS tributes were awesome, especially when combined with classic children's British literature, but I couldn't help but think that to an outsider, it would seem that the NHS exists to give children nightmares.Also, I'm fairly certain the commentator said 'Voldemart' and 'Chucky Chucky Bang Bang.' so I have no idea what to make of that.
Basically, it was truly British all the way through ... whether this is a good or bad thing I am unsure. I fear much of it will have completely gone over the heads of many of the visiting countries. On the plus side, at least the whole world knows how weird us Brits are now.

Sunny
Huh .... so I didn't blog last night. I can't say I have any recollection of not blogging, so I'm not sure why that happened, but it did so what can you do.
Its really hot here in the UK at the moment. Or rather it's really hot here for the UK. Part of being British is complaining about the weather regardless of what its doing. I like the nice weather, but I don't handle heat well. I sweat like a sweaty thing and that is not a good look. I would rather be too cold than too hot, yet I feel that may be something to do with having a summerless wardrobe ... its not something that is normally needed here unless you go on holiday lots.
Anyway, so naturally when its warm out, you have the windows open, allowing unwanted guests to enter freely. I mean bugs. Moths are everywhere, as are nasty little knatty fly things and even normal fly things, and they all have a tendency to fly at my face. I'm a bit bored of it to be honest.
What else can I tell you other than my insect woes? Someone keeps distracting me from doing work in the afternoons by looking at posh houses for sale. Regardless of the competition, I still feel that Hawkstone Hall is the way to go. If 6 million were to suddenly drop through my ceiling right now, I'd buy it ... maybe after I'd had my ceiling repaired.

Last Gift
It only really hit me this evening that the wedding is this Sunday. The Sunday that is only 4 days away. The Sunday where everyone will be looking at the bride in a dress that I made, and judging me accordingly.
Frankly, it terrifies me. Firstly, its a church, so I'm scared enough of breaking down in a big mess of fear and vomit as it is. Secondly, I don't want people to think she was a fool for letting a friend make the most important dress a girl will ever wear, regardless of the emotional sentiment between bride and dressmaker. People are bound to not like the dress, they always do, and many will think because it wasn't brought in a shop then it isn't good enough. I'm so afraid that the Bride won't like it on the day, or that there will be something wrong with it. I care less for the bridesmaids, but I am scared that all the above will apply to these dresses as well. What if I hemmed them wrong, what if they are all too long and we all trip over them, or too short and we all look stupid, or uneven and I look like a terrible dressmaker? What if, what if, what if ... I could go on forever and it wouldn't make me feel any better.
Mostly, I am terrified of the speeches. I do not want everyone's attention to be drawn to the fact that I did anything. I don't know how much the Bride and Groom are winding me up, but I have been told I have mentions in every speech and a freaking paragraph in the Groom's. I can't handle that. It was OK for the wedding last month, I was one of two. I can handle been part of something else, just please, don't throw me to the wolves all alone like that.
I might just hide under the table.

FACE
I finally got my proper Asian BB cream! I went for the skin79 super plus VIP gold beblesh balm.
It is 3 effects functional beblesh balm.
Intercept ultraviolet rays UVA and UVB at the same time and protect your skin exposed from the sun more thoroughly.
Phyto complex ingredient which is good for skin moisturising and soothing makes you skin always moist and healthy
Or so the box tells me. It also said "DIRECTIONS: Use it proper quantity on the area of your face." so that was useful to know.
I liked the little squat pump bottle. It meant I had to pump it on to the back of my hand which made me feel all professional. I guess its hygienic or something as well. Not that much came out in a pump, but I could use most of it over my whole face with the leftovers to concentrate on problem areas.
The coverage was OK, I still felt like I needed to conceal under my eyes and any blemishes, as well as to set with powder to get rid of excess shine, but as you can (hopefully) see below, there is no denying that it completely smooths out my skin tone to give a blank canvas. I had heard about the grey, ashy look until it oxides, although I can't say I really noticed it. It felt nice on my skin, not to heavy, and blended really well. A little really does go a long way.
Sooooo all ready for the wedding now ... scary! Time has flown by so quick, I can't believe everyone is actually growing up.
In other news, my mother and I have decided that I should be an English proof-reader for Asian companies, as they clearly need some help.

P.S. - Asian sellers are lovely! I got a free hair treatment and a personally written thank you note with the product ^^

One pump looking all swatchy. Note the burn on my thumb from my Remington pearl wand.

I look so happy. The lighting isn't great, but you can see the difference, especially under my eyes.
Straight after this I did another test of the wedding make up. It feels like a bit of a waste to put on a full face of make up just to take it all off a few minutes later, but it meant I could make sure it is still fool proof and wash my brushes and applicators.

Goong
Wow, this was a long series. I've gotten used to 16 episode series, but Goong was 24 episodes, each an hour long. That means I've spent a whole day watching Goong over the past 4 weeks. A whole day!
Chaegyung is just a normal girl, who is suddenly confronted with the obligation to enter into a political marriage with the Crown Prince of Korea, Shin, through a deal made between their grandfathers many years ago. Chaegyung agrees to solve her families financial problems, and Shin got rejected by the girl he really loved, so figured why the hell not. Right after the marriage, Yul turns up, the former crown prince who was exiled after his father died. Chaegyung falls for Shin even though he is a bit of a douche to her, and both princes fall for Chaegyung, but Yul realises long before Shin, who is still pining over Whatshername. The majority of the plot is about the relationship between these three characters, which is complicated by Whatshername deciding she does like Shin after all, and Yul's Mum wanting to take over the world.
I stick by my first impressions of this series being ridiculously similar to Hana Yori Dango / Boys Before Flowers. Shin was just as emotionally stunted as Tsukasa and exuded just as much douchebaggery. Yul was sweet and pitiful in his unrequited love, much the same as Rui, although I did feel more for Rui. Yul spent too much time crying and feeling sorry for himself, especially at the end. I either wanted him to do something about it or just be happy because she was happy. There was an older sister in both series that seemed to sort everything out, as well as a group of 3 guys loyal to the prince who also happen to be rich and attractive, although they didn't have a title in Goong like F4 did in HYD.
So basically, my point is the plot and the characters of this series were nothing new ... in fact I've seen it many times before. None the less, it was a good show, and it didn't feel as long as it did. It did get bogged down somewhat towards the end in self pity for every character involved, whereas the first two thirds of it were very amusing. Normal girl getting thrust in to traditional Korean life, where they all sit reciting poems at each other while wearing hanboks with stupid stuff on their heads*? Priceless.
I also enjoyed the teddy bear thing. Shin had a beloved Teddy, and in the scenes in his room, the teddy would always be somewhere in the background. Personal favourites were Teddy lounging on a shelf and Teddy reading a book. Trying to imagine the Prince putting his bear in these positions amused me greatly. The Teddy bear reenactments did make much more sense than in Playful Kiss.
So, to sum up, loved it but wished the 'drama' part hadn't been so melodramatic.
Next up is my first Taiwanese drama, with Devil Beside You. I have kind of gotten accustomed to the Korean language now, so I'll be intrigued to experience a new language. I think it will be Chinese ... based solely on Skip Beat being (I think) Taiwanese and in (I think) Chinese ... which I only know because Super Junior are in it.

*Imagine all your hair scraped back, a tennis ball stuck on your head, and then a giant plait around the whole thing with broaches stuck into it. Yup. Or just google 'GOONG QUEEN' and you'll get the idea.

Somebody to Love
So it's 3am, and I'm sitting in a massive room complete with desk with a squishy bed all to myself, and even though I've been at a wedding all day, I'm wide awake.
I've spent all of today in the company of strangers; half with strong South Yorkshire accents, half with strong North Eastern accents. Therefore, I spent much of today with no idea what anyone was saying. As if it wasn't awkward enough being in a room with 100 odd people you don't know, I had to struggle with the dialect barrier too.
Also, North Easterners are somewhat more proactive in achieving a personal goal that anyone else. I got forcibly carried to the bar and the dance floor on two separate occasions by two different people.
Everyone was lovely though. The friends of the Bride and Groom welcomed me into their group easily, especially the girls, and in the evening 3 guys came to talk to me one by one for a prolonged period ... It was literally one left, another one sat down. Obviously none of them leading anywhere other than them buying me drinks (free night for me), but it was nice nonetheless, although I went outside for a couple of hours and when we went back in everyone else had gone to bed.
EDIT: Apparently I sleep-publish my posts now. Maybe I wasn't as wide awake as I thought I was ...

Why are all baby animals so freaking adorable?
I mean, seriously.
Also funny .... but mostly cute.
In completely unrelated news, EATYOURKIMCHI got a kitten and its so adorable I actually think I might die from sheer cuteness. It's just like BubzBeauty with Chubbi and Domo all over again, but with CATS.

Everything's Alright
Aish, I really can't be bothered to blog tonight. I've gone over all exhausted again, and I can't stop mentally freaking out about how I have two days left to completely finish everything to do with the wedding. It's a bit of a motivation kill as well when you realise you won't even get some downtime between projects, as I've already got a huge backlog of stuff to do for the web series.
I'm half way through an episode of Goong and contemplating giving up for the night as well, so that's how 'bleh' I've come across.

Bad Boy
I got my Remington pearl curling wand today! :)
I burned myself. :(
It came in a huge box, completely disproportionate to the size of the wand, and when my dad brought it to me, he said 'Your buttons?'. Idiot.
So far I'm impressed. It seemed to hold the curl quite well and I didn't use any product. I even straightened my hair and then curled it, and a good few hours later I am left with gentle waves, so it has some staying power. Its my own fault for getting burned though. I was just mentally scoffing at the reviews by people who had burned themselves, thinking how hard must it be to not put your hand on the hot thing, when I put my hand on the hot thing. Idiot.
I also started reading 50 Shades of Grey. Maybe I'm bandwaggonning a little, but seeing as everyone is making such a huge fuss I thought I'd give it a go. In the first two chapters I couldn't help but think it was Twilight for grown ups. Clumsy, plain and inexperienced narrator, works in a family run hardware store (close enough), has an erratic, harebrained mother. Meets perfection personified and is completely consumed.
The only difference was Edward wanted to sink his teeth into Bella ... Christian wants to sink something else into Ana.
So far, not overly impressed. I can't say I have found any of the characters particularly likable or intriguing (Ana is positively Mary Jane) and the writing seems to throw in a few big words to appear more intelligent. It doesn't have the unputdownable factor for me yet, and while I get that the whole smutty thing is pretty shocking for a lot of people, it really isn't anything to write home about (odd turn of phrase in this case, I know). Right now, I think I could find something just as good on a fanfic site, let alone for free on itunes. Having said that, chronologically I am only up to chapter 3 ... although I may have skipped a head a little ... so I shouldn't judge too harshly.

Believe
Do you have any idea how hard it is blogging when you have nothing to post about?
My mother is threatening to send me to to a doctor because apparently 'I'm not eating'. She thinks it's a threat, but we've done it all before and look what happened then - two doctors and a dietician said it's fine. Just because I'm a little stressed right now and have lost my appetite somewhat doesn't make me an anorexic.
Aish!

Run to You
Again, I am utterly devoid of inspiration. So have a music video.
It's the same band that did Time's Up and Someone Met By Chance. Pretty different, right?
The start makes me think of FunnyBones.
The title on the album 'Run to You (Swing)' makes me think of Ferris Beuller.
The end.

A Day
What to blog about this evening? I'm coming up blank. Mostly because nothing has really happened in the last 24 hours. No new music videos or songs that I'm in love with, no purchases, no news, nothing.
Well, I guess a seller on eBay sending me 10 cover buttons rather than 100 can be classed as news. I wasn't much impressed, especially seen as I have 6 days in which to complete all the dresses, but it was an honest mistake and he says he's sent out the rest today.
I also ran out of purple thread and so had to buy some more, so I guess that counts as a purchase. It meant that I didn't manage to finish the bridesmaids dresses today as planned, but I'll get them done tomorrow no problem.
I did see this music video that amused me. There seems to be a main line that goes 'I can be the baby girl' so that's a little bit of a strange thing for a self confessed 'hot boy' to say, but each to their own. I'm fairly certain that at 2.40 he says 'We'll put you on the fire' which is a little murdersome. I also enjoyed the little guy getting squished under the giant shoe, and you have no idea how much the end made me laugh.

So I guess as it turns out everything I said at the start of this post is a lie. I should have said "Nothing has happened in the last 24 hours which anyone will find interesting or is worth sharing."

Don't Don
So last night I could barely type keeping my eyes open, and tonight I seem to be wide awake with a load of pent up energy. It may be because I have spent a ridiculous amount of money today.
Nearly £200 on 5 pairs of converse for the wedding. Over £100 on my Avon bill. Then, I decided that seeing as I had already spent over £300 in a less than an hour, I might as well carry on. So I brought the Remington Pearl curling wand and the Skin79 Super Plus VIP Gold BB Cream as a treat to myself.
Anyone who has read this blog at least semi regularly will know I have been wanting to try the Asian BB creams for years. You may also be aware that I have a small YouTube beauty guru obsession ... literally everything they use, I want*. So I did some research. Generally, the Skin79 Super Plus Beblesh Balm series seems to be the most universally appreciated, although it is not without its criticisms. The other brand I have heard a lot about is Lioele, and while Ingrid raves about Triple the Solution and Waterdrop, Bubz didn't seem as well impressed, so I decided it was best to stick to Skin79. Missha have always had good reviews, but I'll admit to finding their sheer number of choices intimidating.
As for the Remington Pearl wand, I had my eye on the Babyliss hot pink wand for a long time, but when I went to look at the reviews right before buying it today, all the negative comments were about how it wasn't as good as the Pearl. Also, seeing as how the last Babyliss product I got didn't particularly impress me (the glamour waves tong that works perfectly as a straightener, not so much as a curling tong) I thought I would go back to my original hair styler bias, Remington.
So yeah, I'll let you know how that goes.
It's 2.20 am and my dad's Landrover alarm just went off. The neighbours are going to love us, its the most obnoxious alarm you've ever heard. Ah well, they never liked us anyway.

*The candle thing? Ingrid. The large barrel curling tong? Bubz. The hot pink curling wand? Bubz. Got2be fat-tastic root boost? Bubz. These girls cost me a lot of money ... mostly Bubz.
Nearly £200 on 5 pairs of converse for the wedding. Over £100 on my Avon bill. Then, I decided that seeing as I had already spent over £300 in a less than an hour, I might as well carry on. So I brought the Remington Pearl curling wand and the Skin79 Super Plus VIP Gold BB Cream as a treat to myself.

Lullaby
I don't know whether it's because I am tired or because I am all nice and snuggly (electric blanket mid July? I think so!) but I literally cannot keep my eyes open right now. In fact, I keep having to go back and change my spelling in this post to something actually legible seeing as I keep typing even when my eyes are closed.
I was really disappointed in Office earlier. We went to buy converse for the bridal party, but left empty handed. What sort of shoe shop doesn't have size 5 or 7 of a shoe that is in the window? The uncommon sizes I can understand, but 5 through to 7 are super common. Both the styles that we were looking at are Office exclusives as well, so I can't even look up more competitive prices.
I can't even focus anymore ... goof night,

Love Hate
So far, I've tried to write this post three times.
The first attempt was a rant about the Yul vs Shin situation in Goong, but then I decided to leave that to the review post when I've finished the series.
Then I was going to write about how I have used two of those Sainsburies vouchers that you normally don't even look at until they are out of date in the past couple of days... until I realised that was deathly boring.
Finally I was going to link you to Nu'est's new MV and marvel about how much Ren looks like a girl.
Now I've spaced out what basically amounts to four sentences of utter waffle because I don't want to talk about anything else.
Let's just say the true meaning of this wartime poster has only just truly struck me and leave it at that.

In what world have I ever had to google this? That's maths, I can't cope with maths!

Wrong Number
I hate BT Homehub.
In the time it took it to start working again, I could make pretty patterns in the new tab thing. This was pattern combination number 792.
Then it starts working long enough for me to watch 18 seconds of video, so that was generous.

Something Wrong
So this evening, my mum and I were watching Supersize vs Superskinny. It was one of the very first episodes, when they used to test out different diets and methods of loosing weight. This particular episode concentrated on hypnosis. Incidentally, it's the only method that actually worked.
At about 5.53, they do an experiment.
You put your index finger and thumb together, and resist as another person tries to pry them apart. In the show, she put a biscuit in her other hand, and instantaneously she was unable to keep her finger and thumb together as easily as she had done previously.
So we did this test pretty much as soon as it came on the TV. Yeah, we didn't listen to the explanation, we kind of assumed that if you are holding something you like, it weakens your concentration and control, hence you are easier to break. My mum could keep her finger and thumb together no matter what she was holding, even Twilight. Not when she was holding my hand, but I suspect she was cheating seeing as I didn't have enough hands to pull hers apart. I was strong for the TV remote and the Gu dessert, less so for the Twirl Bites and even less so for the apple. So apparently I like apples more than twirls ... believe me it's as shocking to me as it would be to you.
However, one thing broke my grip completely and consistently. My iPhone.
How pathetic is that? I can't even explain it. I can maintain holding my finger and thumb together forCADBURY LIFE SUPPORTING SUSTENANCE better than I can for a lump of electronics?
Actually, yeah, that sounds about right.

Love Style
So I just upgraded to the new version of firefox, and now they have this frequently visited pages thing when you open a new tab. I know, nothing new but still.
Sites like Youtube, Blogger, Facebook and Twitter I can understand. I can even understand the several Korean drama episode pages that came up.
But the 'CANNOT CONNECT TO HOMEHUB' page is somewhat of a piss take.
In other news, I am not so impressed with the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream anymore. After wearing it for three evenings, I woke up this morning to a hot, red and delicate face. Normally, I use an exfoliating cleanser in the morning, but that didn't feel too great today. It doesn't look that bad, not enough to make it noticeable anyway, but I can feel it. I was starting to think it wasn't that amazing when I found out it retails at about £8, which seemed a bit steep for a product that doesn't really do everything that it is supposed to. Sure, it was relatively moisturising and evened out my skin tone, but I can't say it felt particularly 'fresh', and had little to no real coverage. I might use the rest of my samples if my skin doesn't complain too much, as it is a lot easier than my old method, but I probably won't buy the full product.
I still really want to try the Asian brands though, especially Skin79.
In other other news, I cannot stop playing this song right now. We'll not talk about the video (wtf with all the floral print) but it's kind of been stuck in my head over the past couple of days, even though I hadn't listened to it since it came out a couple of weeks ago, and mostly only watched it to read the hilariously appalling engrish in the info bar (its now been corrected and is not so funny anymore). Its like it snuck into my subconscious subconsciously and sat there for a while silently until it exploded without cause or warning.

Mastermind
I was just watching Simon and Martina's W.A.N.K.* and after they tried and failed to get into the Coffee Prince coffee shop, they ended up in some weird cat place full of cats.
It got me thinking, I'd go there. How awesome would a cat cafe be? Disregarding the high possibility of cat hair in anything you might purchase, going for a cup of coffee and slice of cake in a cafe filled with a shit ton of cats sounds really awesome. They could all be rescue cats, and you could adopt one if you wanted, bit if you didn't then they'd still be perfectly happy with lots of love from the cafe customers. You could play with them, they could sit on your lap, you could pet them, they could ignore you, you could feed them cat treats, they could eat your cream cake .... the possibilities are endless.
Not sure how much of a market there is for random places like this in the UK though ... I suspect it would be frequented only by spinsters and old women with facial hair.
Also, there was one cat with a bow tie on his collar. I feel a need to make this happen, I just need a catto inflict it on, and I only know one cat.
So I guess the point of this post is that I like cats? Yup, pretty much it.

Four Seasons
I need new clothes. Like literally, all my clothes need to be new.
I was getting changed to go out earlier, and threw a black vest top on top of a black pair of tights. I then realised that the black vest top wasn't so black anymore. Bearing in mind that a black vest top is pretty much a staple in my wardrobe, I really couldn't believe I hadn't noticed how much the colour had faded... but then again, if you told me that top was 6 years old I really wouldn't be surprised.
It's not like things like that are expensive or hard to get hold of, especially when I wear the same things all year round ... I don't really have a seasonal wardrobe. Many of my casual tops are from Dorothy Perkins, and I have had a few discount codes from Avon over the past few months, so I may just restock when I get one next time. It is kind of my style, to layer things, so vest tops and the like are kind of important for my wardrobe.
As such, I'm really tempted to just throw out all of my clothes over the weekend. Well, you know what I mean, not all of them, just the ones I have had for more than three years, and then buy new versions.
I was just browsing on YesStyle, and thinking how I should have more dresses. Its much easier choosing one thing to wear, rather than tops and bottoms and then making the two match. I'm still on the look out for culottes though. It seems I have to sacrifice appeal for western sized hips.

Face
For one reason or another, Laptop is being SUPER slow this evening. I suspect one reason is that it is my laptop and another is that it's my laptop. At least it's not turning off in a huff any more, so thanks to my swanky laptop tray for that.
I got some Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream samples today. I was quite impressed with it, it was light and moisturising with decent coverage, and a little went a long way. I still want to try some of the Asian brands, namely Skin79, Lioele, Missha and Etude House before I could properly judge it, especially as a BB cream, but so far I approve. It gives the same look as my normal base make up, but without the hassle of moisturising first, then mixing my foundation with moisturiser before applying, and then setting with powder. The only thing I don't like so far is that I felt my break outs weren't completwly covered and my t zone looked a bit shiny, so the coverage isn't perfect.
The reviews I have read of this product are very mixed. People who haven't used BB cream before seem to be impressed while those who have aren't. I guess I'll just have to make a yes style order of beauty products after all.

Love Yourself
I may have had a minor freak out this evening, but it is amazing how much Super Junior on repeat and a couple of episodes of Goong cheers you up.
Also a bag of fruit pastels. I decided that you have to eat two fruit pastels at a time, otherwise you would only be eating half a fruit, which is obviously pointless. Don't ask me what happens when you get a lemon ... lets just say it makes your jaw hurt.
On a completely unrelated note, kpop songs really need to stop telling us that 'it' is 'hard'. Korean music is all sweet and innocent, or at least very well censored and I have absolute faith that they have no idea what these lyrics mean to English speakers.
Supernova's Stupid Love, for example. 'Take a deep breath, cos this one is real hard.'
Block B's Nalina. 'I don't know, I don't know, I don't know but I'm hard, hard. You know what, you know what, you know what, what I mean, mean.'
And now even Super Junior in Rockstar. 'Oh. My. God. It's. So. Hard. .... I'm a rockstar!'
It just amuses me that songs with much less* get banned, and yet the connotations in these lyrics are completely acceptable. Then again, I have heard plenty of english language songs uncensored on Korean teleevision that I have never seen in British media. I guess either they think there is no point in censoring something the majority of the population wouldn't understand anyway, or the government genuinely doesn't know that words such as FUCK are swear words.
Not that I'm complaining, I find it all highly amusing. See, western popular music is no where near as fun as eastern music.

*Mirotic by TVXQ is a prime example. Apparently 'I got you under my skin' was far too sexual. They had to release a clean version.

Stand Up!
Aish! I'm so tired!
Today, I got up, sat in my car for 2 and a half hours, sat in a room with 30 other people for just over 11 hours, sat in my car for another 2 and a half hours, sat on my sofa for an hour and now I'm lying in bed. Out of the past 17 hours, I have spent 16 of them sitting down.
Holy crap.
Note to self, don't work these things out, its scary when you get the answer.
I have literally nothing else to say. It was a productive read through, for me anyway, but it wasn't very comfortable and my legs and back don't appreciate it. Actually, at the time, neither did my bum, but my lovely bed seems to have appeased it.
Right, sleep before you start talking about any other parts of your anatomy, Heather.

Sexy, Free and Single
So Super Junior released a new album today, and it is nowhere near as amusing as Mr Simple. The teaser photos were strange, sure, but not Siwon in green pants strange. You can check out the teasers here, including the title track teaser, Sexy, Free and Single.
The first time I heard it, I thought it was 'sexy, free and single, I'm ready to mingle'. Aces, how am I supposed to sing along to that without sounding like a walking personal ad? Now, the more I listen to it (yeah, I have the album already), the more I am convinced it is actually 'sexy, free and single, I'm ready to bingo'.
Sure, Leeteuk may have turned 30 today, which could easily be considered prehistoric in the kpop idol world, but still, he's about 30 years to early to be going to bingo to find a date.
So now we just wait for the MV to be released. My bets are on Super Junior dancing in a box ... just like every other video.
And there's such potential for the Super Junior members all dressed up idol-y, playing bingo surrounded by old ladies. Sigh.
In other news, I am NOT good at early nights in preperation for early mornings.
