I really should be more concerned about finishing my knowledge portfolio, but I can't seem to convince myself to work on it at all. -_-;; And the thing is due tomorrow. Well. It's not like I have a lot to finish, just a few odd bits, but I'd still like it to be done.

*sigh* And I do not want to go to accounting today. He's going to be handing the tests back. ._. *did horribly*


Am dying to bleach my hair... so bored with the black. Have he bleach... but I think I'm going to wait for winter break to actually do it. As much fun as coming in to school the exact opposite of how I was the day before is... I want to have the safety bubble in there for myself in case the bleach doesn't kill the black dye enough. (Have never bleached straight from black before - no idea how it will take.)

In some ways, it's a little depressing how Secret Letters (the English version) is suddenly becoming very popular ever since the PV was released. I mean, that used to be a song I could call 'my song' because it wasn't terribly popular as only people who had bought the English/Overseas version of Roentgen had even heard it, for the most part. But now... I don't know.

Damn my non-conformist tendancies. It's good that the song is getting appreciated. It deserves it.


Mind most of the people jumping on and liking it now are more liking it for the "haunting video" than for the 6/8 rhythm, the subtle underlying meanings of the lyrics or the use of accordion that gives it such a European flavour. (I could give more reasons if I were to stop and listen to the song, but anyway...)



Why can't people just appreciate the music without the need for eye candy as well??? :(

Earlier this year, we highlighted Domino Pizza's scooters honking to a corporate tune, and wondered why Coca Cola hadn't jumped on board of corporate jingle casting. Well, seems like the Coke folks in Japan got the message: the Wall Street Journal reported that Coca-Cola promotes its vending machines in Japan with wireless text offers (sms/mail), offering customers a free ringtone download of a Coke jingle with the purchase of a can of Coke from a vending machine. Sales were boosted by 50 percent among receivers of the message. Not bad! It's part of a wider (and true and tested) partnership between Coca Cola Japan, NTT DoCoMo and Itochu Corp., who jointly offer the 'Cmode' service.

The things you find when a website doesn't have a goddamned search feature... still. Imagine that. In just a few years we'll all be getting ads on our cellphones. How disgusting is that?
