And the rain, like once, is the same; I am too …

I spent most of today dealing with unbelievable bureaucracy which will probably drive me crazy one day. In between I had these 10 -15 minute windows of time and I shamelessly wasted them searching the internet. I am going to share few things that entertained me in the process.

Right now, one Czech and one Slovak TV Channel cooperate on a program called Czechoslovak Superstar. It is basically American Idol only obviously not American. I do not watch it but it is all over the tabloids and news and radios and I got intrigued by one girl singing Lásko voníš deštěm this weekend. It is a Czech “cover” of Black Sabbath´s She´s gone. New lyrics were written for Czech singer Marie Rottrová and I frankly like them and her version of the song better than the original (it only means it is awesome, not that Black Sabbath´s version sucks).

But this girl!!! This is the best version ever!!! I was going to translate the lyrics but gave up. Czech language is tricky, very pretty and complicated and my translation sounded completely shallow. Just “Oh, Love, you smell of rain/you have a scant of rain”, sounds so wrong whereas in Czech it is beautiful. Here is the video, you have to wait for the commercial to pass since it is from the official site, but I think it is worth it. The song is only like first 3 minutes. The rest is the jury ranting.

The Czech Press Photo 2009 announced the winners today and this is a picture (Joe Klamar, Agence France Presse (AFP), President Barack Obama in Prague) that won the main prize. It might seem plain, but it has a great message. The statue is of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.

Fandom now:

NEWS/Kanjani∞, Nishikido Ryo
To Ninomiya-kun.
I went to Arashi’s live show, and you said “Let’s go eat together” to me there. But every time I call you, you reject me. What’s going on here? Also, Jun-kun too. Arashi’s full of liars (laughs)!! And so, the three of us should go eat together next time. Will you be awkward with each other~? (Taken from enshinge ´s translation of Dengonban - Wink up - November 2009)
LOL RYO!!! But seriously that is one dinner I would like to eat! Also I have no clue why I find this message so amusing, but I do. One of many thoughts was, Ryo, you poor rejected attention whore! No idea why.

And one more, I have no idea where, but I think today somewhere I read that Kanjani8 will be guests on November´s SCP. At first I thought, oh great they will sing there again! I love every performance they did there (and that I saw). But the more I think of it, the more it is suspicious and now I suspect that maybe they will be guests for the talk show, which would be freaking amazing. You know a talk similar to one that Arashi did at the beginning of this year. Taichi and K8!!! YES PLEASE!!!

( cutting my anger )

Tomorrow I am leaving for Brno (after yet another dentist visit). YAY! Today I felt like I wanted to go for a drive. I was contemplating on just taking the car and getting on the road for some time. It would work like this:

“Hi parents! May I borrow a car for about 4 hours? Without a reason.”
“Sure, go ahead. Here are the keys, the gas tank is full (*actually right now I could afford to fill the tank myself*). Have your fun.”
“Thank you.”
(And I take the car, drive for about hour and a half, have a coffee somewhere and drive back, while listening to some good music.)
“Here are the keys, the car is intact thank you very much.”
“You are welcome. It was a pleasure, feel free to ask anytime you feel like getting away from us. The car´s always here for you.”

OR NOT! I know I can be a spoiled brat sometimes. That´s all for now, “Oh Love, You were here, and you still are; only you are hiding … “
