Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

++ HOT DAMN SENDHIL RAMAMURTHY. He should do photoshoots more often. Seriously, for someone that ridiculously gorgeous it's kind of difficult to not consider making an entire editorial magazine dedicated to him. Just, boo to the watermarks and non-hi-res. I want to see the pretty, dammit!

Also, NBC has FINALLY released the S3 Mohinder Suresh wallpaper. About frakking time.

++ I'm absolutely obsessed with BoA's "Eat You Up" even though I have yet to actually hear the entire song. It hasn't been released yet, but I've been rewatching the teaser commercials for it, along with the "making of" which OMG, her English is too adorable for words! It's just so addictive and I'm just waiting for the entire song to be released so I can put it on repeat over and over and over. Same with Kuu's new single "TABOO" (which BTW, the PV is drop-dead sexy featuring girl/girl and guy/guy moments which involve Kumi as well, something that the U.S. should probably consider for their music videos Y/Y?). Super hot and sexy, both songs are in fact.

So, this Sunday isn't as excitingly eventful as I wished it would be, nevertheless I got some chores done around the house so that part feelings accomplished. I have to finish some Anatomy homework but otherwise, it's all about lounging about. Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, and I hoped all those that celebrated had a nice time. Most of my afternoon and evening was spent overhearing the loud music some of our neighors were playing in celebration. Most people would've found it frustrating and a distraction, however I liked it. It added a little livelihood and spice to an otherwise quiet neighborhood, sans the lawnmowers and bitching crazy neighbors I have to deal with daily. It would've been annoying if they went deep into the night when I wasnted to sleep, but thankfully they didn't.

Time for a belated Friday Five meme, from fridayfiver:

( Life is a precious gift hidden in disguise... )

Rec of the Day: Someone (mei_yanohi) created a Koda Kumi fanvideo: Want To Be Her (Kumi Mix). Set to the Peaches song, basically a compilation video of Kuu's sexiest moments of her PVs and, really, questioning and/or explaining why eveyone is infactuated with the gorgeous songstress. And really, who doesn't want to be her? Hee. it's a very nicely done fanvid, too.

To feed my cravings of music addiction, I've been having an overload of Kuu this passed week.

The lovely Koda Kumi has recently released two new PVs, from her latest album Black Cherry and from her latest single BUT/Aishou. This will be a total of three videos in the passed two weeks. "Aishou" is almost like a acoustic soft-rock ballad, and she sings very powerful at certain points. In the video itself she's dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono; there's been some discussion on whether she's being a maiko or geisha, though one of the most respectable answers of speculation I've read is that Kumi's portraying an Oiran, which were the highest class of courtesans. It's slow-sexy and seductive, and Kuu looks amazingly beautiful and elegant.

"Get Up&Move!!" is her brand new PV that has just been released (there hasn't even been a decent download link yet). Other have complained that she hasn't come out with a dance-oriented video in her wave of recent releases. Well, this kind of fulfills that wish, consider the appropriateness with the title of the song. Aside from the dancing, it's a simple video really. All it features is her and her backup dancers with a black background, then a white background, and some interchangeable images of different outfits. Not as creative as her passed PVs have been, but it's better than nothing and besides, it's Kuu for goodness sakes! She's pretty hot in it regardless, and that compliments with the song as well, and there's amazing dance moves, too. I use this, along with her other song "BUT", as part of my practice routines for dance.

I've placed the PVs underneath the cut for those interested in viewing them:

( So get up & move your body, shake up yourself it's party! )

For some strange reason, I'm interested in seeing Black Snake Moan, partially due to curiosity over what it's all about and partially because it has Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci, two particular actors you can never go wrong with, at least in my opinion. Justin Timberlake appears in it too, though I don't much care about that. Every time I see the previews for the movie I keep wondering, "why is Christina Ricci chained up by the waist?" After researching what it's about, my curiosity has increased. Though I'm betting some have doubts about it doing well, I might give it a chance; from some reviews I've read from others, they were pleasantly surprised of the outcome. Though I know opinions differ with each individual and their expectations, but this sounds like something I'm willing to try out for myself. Oh, and the trailer is hilarious, too. Especially when SLJ says, "Get yo' ass back in my house!" Hee, don't piss off motherfucking Samuel L. Jackson, fo'shizzle.

Rec of the Day: The Wreckoning, Niki/Jessica FanVid. I highly recommend this particular fanvideo because not only does it focus more on the Jessica personality than anything, but also because it's wonderfully edited, matching the clips with the music, the effects are beautifully timed and everything just...works. Jessica is lethal, psychotic and badass to the bone, and that's why I love her, and this video captures that aspect of that character perfectly.

February 25th, another edition of Fandomosity news. It's hard to believe that it's almost March already. Anyway, also a reminder that the new NBC drama The Black Donnellys will be premiering tomorrow after Heroes. So keep an eye out for that, it looks to be amazing according to many who have already previewed it.

-♠- Kaylee Travels Through The Stargate: You heard it right, Jewel Staite returns as a reoccurring character for 8-episodes of Stargate Atlantis. Her first appearance on the show she played a Wraith girl, completely unrecognizable unless you heard her voice. This time she's playing a completely different character.

-♠- Horror Island Massacre: In other Jewel Staite news, the official trailer for her upcoming horror flick, The Tribe, is now available. She just can't escape those cannibalistic Reavers, can she?

-♠- Lamb For The Win!: Michael Muhney talks about his thoughts of the latest VMars episode and other things, an yes, following the link there are BIG SPOILERS unless you haven't seen the "Mars, Bars" yet. You have been warned. For those who have seen it, ( come inside while I share the spoilerific thoughts ) Michael Muhney is made of awesome, especially after being named an honorary Browncoat and admitting to wanting to become a Cylon. Hee.

-♠- Queen Namie Sparkles & Shines: At first it was rumored but now it's confirmed, Namie Amuro will be featured with an "m-flo loves Namie Amuro" song on m-flo's new album, COSMICOLOR, as reported here. Other artists featured on their album will be Koda Kumi, Bonnie Pink, and melody. Also, Namie's BEST Tour ~Live Style 2006~ DVD is already out, which I'll probably soon purchase in the near future.

-♠- For The Love of Kuu: In a recent commercial, Koda Kumi is talking about her new single "BUT", which will be released on the same date as her new album, BEST: ~Bounce & Lovers~ (which isn't really a "new" album really, it's just the best of her ballads and only has a few new songs; but that's AVEX TRAX for you). It's also the promotional song for the film Step Up. You can hear the entire song with this YouTube preview; I really love this song, it's powerful, upbeat and danceable. Probably going to be the best new song of hers so far this year.

1. Holiday Love Meme, Secret Santa Style. So, here's my thread. I think this is a wonderful and excellent idea, given it's the holiday season. Plus as the end of the semester and finals are approaching and other hectic things happening around this time of the year for all of us, the appreciation and love is much needed.

2. Because it's December lots of my fandoms are going on a hiatus until the new year, which is somewhat depressing especially when getting into a fandom, but expected. So I'll be anxiously waiting and anticipating the new episodes for those, like Heroes which will be returning in late January. There will be one more episode of Criminal Minds and Medium before the new year, though I hear that Veronica Mars is going to be delayed some months before having new episodes. Oh, and let's not forget the return of Psych! I also have the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show of 2006 that aired on Tuesday to watch, there's always fun with that. But I will be dealing with other things like last-minute holiday preparations and studying for finals while waiting for the return of my shows.

3. Why does LiveJournal continue to make things difficult? The frequent malfunctions are getting ridiculous. *gives death glare*

4. Koda Kumi has another gorgeous commercial that was recently released, not only promoting the GemCerey necklace, but her song from her upcoming album, "Tsuki to Taiyou". The necklace can be seen on the GemCerey official website, and believe me that would be the ultimate present because it is just so damn beautiful, and very elegant.
