Chat With Me!

July 21st, 2008

I have said in the past to contact me through email or find me in #wotachat. However, getting IRC to work can sometimes be an issue. Therefore, I’ve added tiny chat box to TLS, which is located at the top right hand corner of the site. I hope that it is not intrusive or anything.

This will open a chat directly between you and me. If you want to tell me that I am an awful blogger without exposing yourself to anyone else, now is your chance!

So if I am online and you want to chat, this should be an incredibly easy way to do it. If you want to talk about TLS, blogging, Hello!Project, Perfume, how I am slowly falling into the Arashi trap or anything else, I’m game for it. The only thing I ask is that you introduce yourself in the first message. Something like “Hi broomhead, this is Al.” Otherwise, I will have no idea who is chatting with me.

But if you want to remain anonymous and tell me that I am awful blogger, you can do that too. If I find out who you are though, I will expose you to the Interwebs!

For the last week, I’ve been focused on Batman. It was an excellent movie, but there is the potential that Nolan & Co. made a tremendous mistake. If anyone wants to talk THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) with me, just email me.

Getting on track, this is an entry that I am going to have fun writing. TLS.com has been around for almost half a year now. I’ve had good entries in this time. However, there have been disasters. A blog that is active long enough is going to have some subpar entries. My blog has many of these.

So let’s look at the entries that didn’t live up to expectations. Entries that, in hindsight, I should not have posted. It’s time to expose these entries for the frauds that they are.

Some time has passed since the last “Was Haromoni Worth Watching?” entry on TLS. I believe the fact that I am not talking about the show anymore should give you an indication of whether or not you should be watching it.

The last Haromoni that I touched was May 25, 2008. That is a considerable backlog. That’s five episodes for the month of June. Let’s say each episode is 22 minutes long. That would be somewhere around 110 minutes.

What else could I do with that time? Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) was 102 minutes. Rear Window (1954) was 112 minutes. American Beauty (1999) was 122 minutes. All of them provide quality entertainment.

If you believe that I am going to sit down and watch every minute of all of those Haromoni episodes that I missed, you got another thing coming.

Why should I? What could I possibly have missed on those episodes of Haromoni? Nothing ever happens on this show.

And that is the theme for the latest episode.

I almost looked like a freaking imbecile. Let’s looks at a few excerpts from a post that I was about to make on TLS.

Perfume will probably finished 2nd to Aoyama Thelma.

I’ll be disappointed if they sell anything less than the 60,000-70,000 range - double what Baby cruising love/macaroni did in its first week.

Boy, I was way off.

Koharu Kusumi - Papancake

Sometimes there is just not much to say. This is one of those times.

Your damn plastic pancakes, much like your PVs, are getting stale and cold.

I am not really thrilled with this Sexy Girl. 60s70s80s was so good that perhaps that only direction Namie could go was down. Namie has better songs than this, that’s all I can really say about it.

As for the PV…In screencap #11, she looks like a crack whore. Awesome! She wears a haircut that I dislike oh so much. Terrible! For the most part, it is a lot of Namie being sexy. Maybe the PV isn’t so bad after all.

At least things will start improving in a few months.

Anyways:

I think that I’ve made it clear how much I appreciate Kanna Arihara - as well as appreciating her lust for the other members of Hello!Project. Now she her haircut is looking more and more similar to Nocchi from Perfume. That’s just not fair.

If you have already seen the PV to Bonnie Pink’s “Ring A Bell,” I am going to ask that you watch it again. I have it streamed below to make it really easy for you. So please, sit back and enjoy!

I take for granted that people will upload media to the Interwebs. Hello!Online and jpopsuki, amongst other places, have existed for a while now. I just assume that where one uploader fails to upload a piece of media, another one will step up.

When it comes to idoling!!!, I am making a mistake with that kind of assumption. That’s because nearly every single piece of idoling!!! media can seemingly be traced back to Silverbolt.
