Not quite better yet, but...
I was hoping some of my 中国／中文说的朋友 could help. I'm trying to do a really quick translation of Gackt's few lines in Chinese on Chubo yesterday. Have a listen, then see if you can fix/complete my partial transcription? Between the poor audio and Gackt's hit-or-miss Chinese (sometimes it's impeccable, other times, not so much...), there are a few bits I just can't get. ( Cut for embedded video + partial transcription ) |

Membership~
*cheers* 9 days short of the theoretical 2 month waiting period... I'm officially a Dear. Whoot! xD (I don't have the card/etc physically yet, but Muku's given me the details so I can still log-on while it's on the way here.) Anyone on my list in Dears Mansion? I need a tour guide lol, and I'd like to have some friends on there if I can. ( ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) talene309, this includes you~ xP) |

现在要睡觉吗。。。？
It's... 4:13am. I stopped work at two, and stopped language study about 30 seconds ago. This is reaching the G level of S. Though... I'm not even particularly tired. Maybe I'll just rest my eyes... for a minute... (My alarm's going to go off in 2hr 15min. ( >_>); Goodnight everyone! ^^; ) |

Why Gackt gave the world his email address...
Maybe they want to test the new server. "Hey, Gackt. Do you think this new server could handle 10,000 emails in one day?" "...I don't know. Um, let me try something... *ammends post with email address* *gets 20,000 emails instantly* Hey, it -can- handle that many! ... ... ... *looks at inbox* Oh, crap." |

O_O
Gackt revealed his real age? But... That takes so much of the mystique away... *pout* *** He'll always be a 1540 child to me. |

fitness...
45 minutes of DDR. I win. (I used to do 45 minutes semi-regularly, but for the last year or so 25's been about my limit.) ((I'll reply to comments and such soon, everyone. Things have been hectic in my head.)) |

You like Hi-Res?
So do I.  (I might upload the set later if there's any interest. (And for note, this is a screencap preview /of/ a hi-res photo, not the photo itself.) ) |

Okay. So I'm a hoarder. I just went into my Sent Messages folder to clear it out, after migrating to my OMGNEWMACBOOKPRO. I have THREE THOUSAND AND FIFTY SEVEN SENT MESSAGES. The earliest is a narky reply I sent to my brother after he forwarded me yet another hoax email about how the world was ending because of somethingorother. Sent 20th October, 2008. And this isn't even my archives... I still have the backups of emails from my LAST major update. Which was.... um... Well, I probably have emails from when I first got my last mac. Like, 2006. *prepares to rape the delete key* |

AAAHHH~
Why is there no-one online for me to talk tooooo? I just got a notification that my credit limit has been increased. As of right now, I'm officially getting a MacBook Pro. (My current MacBook is falling apart xDD I use it ~9-14 hours a day, so..... xD) YAY. YAY YAY YAY. (Excuse the childish post, but there is NOONE awake in my real life, and none of my foreign friends are even on skype/aim/whatever... So, random LJ post it is. FUCKING YAY. XDDDDD XD This totally made my night/morning. Best 1am email ever. xD (That, and the fact I just re-discovered the Labyrinth OST. I'm so happy right now. Happier than I've been in a long time. Thankyou, world... I needed a big smile. ^_____^ 多谢，多谢。どうもありがとうねえ〜 本当、真的、really~ 现在我觉得《非常》好的～！哈哈，我太快乐了， 要用普通话吗？ 呵呵。。。 とてもハッピだよ〜 |

Even after all these years, I still can't stop my heart beating a little faster when I watch the Vanilla PV. ~(I don't even know why, though... It's not my favourite PV, I don't find the dancing especially attractive (笑）, and Vanilla isn't my favourite song. I guess, maybe there's an element of that PV which is just so innately -Gackt-, that it reminds me why I love him. Hm. Maybe.)~ |

Where the heck does one buy an interesting postcard around here? All I can find is freaking 'Native Animal' photograph-style ones. >_ |

A thought process... And a question.
( Random question which has been answered, which is still here because I don't feel like deleting the whole thing. )Okay, so after a decent night's sleep and a few well-written replies from friends, I realised just how ridiculous a question I posed. Of /course/ it's not a valid idea. I never really thought it was (and certainly didn't count myself as being in some group of people born in the wrong coloured skin), but I felt like asking anyway. Endless curiosity, that's me. Thanks to everyone who wrote their thoughts on this. I'll leave comments open, but I really don't think there's much to discuss, seeing as upon re-reading, I don't even think the -question- is valid, let alone a positive response. Thanks again! |

A preview...
A popular Japanese celebrity has revealed the inside story - that Gackt used to be a Midnight Cowboy.(NB: Midnight Cowboy is a Chinese term for a male prostitute. I just really like the term 'midnight cowboy'.) I'm currently working on translating a Chinese tabloid article I rediscovered, after losing it for months. It will take me a -long- time to get this finished, so don't expect it in a week. This is my first proper attempt at translating more than a paragraph in proper writing, most of my translations are rather... loose. This is (hopefully) going to be a proper translation. ((The article's actually from January 2005, but I want to translate it anyway. It's hardly a new story, but still.)) ((And yes, this is taking a front seat to the video-clip one. I listened to it again after a month or so's break, and... I still struggle to understand a word. And now I'm starting to doubt the portions I -do- have figured out, because I fear (though don't actually think so) that I've filled in so many gaps in my understanding of his (!@$#%$&%) pronunciation, that my 'translation' won't actually be anything close to what he said. I said I'd prefer text, so, here we go. xD )) |

Fuck. Yes.
I've been translating a Gackt interview from Chinese to English. I started... hm, six months ago? Obviously this has been very on-and-off. But, here's the thing. It's only spoken, and there are no subtitles or transcripts. And his Chinese is good, but... Well, I'm used to native speakers. And I'm certainly not used to non-native speakers with non-english-based accents. TODAY, I FOUND A FUCKING CHINESE TRANSCRIPT. Well, sort of. There are only three lines in the whole interview I've never understood properly. One of them, he's said in the exact same words in a different interview. I found a transcript of that second interview. Thus, the missing sentence. And, in the end, the reason I couldn't understand it - He said 新郎的网友们。 Now, '的网友们' I understand. But his pronunciation of 新郎 (xin1 lang4) sounds more like xin4 ren4 or xin4 lin4。 And to make it worse? 新郎? It's （for reasons I don't understand...) the native pronunciation of Sina. As in Sina.com. As in the Chinese TV network both interviews took place on. I was right, though. I actually had it in my notes from the first few listens that it might have been "sina people" or something. ”Sina's net friends." Now I can rest easy. And also revel in the fact that my approximation was right. If only I could find a transcript for the rest, to check that too... xP |

LOL.
I'm watching Angel. Wesley's trying to translate an 'ancient scripture' tattooed on someone's body. He's using a magnifying glass etc to see the symbols clearly. BUT IT'S SIMPLIFIED CHINESE. He's had conversations in it before. He's apparently written and read letters in Chinese as well. Yet, he needs a magnifying glass to 'see' the hanzi, and then has to study it carefully to get an idea of what it says? Also, his approximations of the 'unknown' demon name wasn't Chinese. Like, there is no chinese word which could ever be pronounced like that. (Also, the 'ancient scripture' was in a standard serif font.) |

An observation.
In the wake of Gackt's friend's death, I've noticed something. (This is in no way meant to take away from the incredible sadness of the event.) So many people are saying, "He always seems to lose people close to him.". Well, duh. He knows a lot of people. A hell of a lot of people. Some of them are going to die. And he's hardly going to blog about it when someone he -isn't- close to dies. 'The other day, someone I met twice at business functions died'. Not going to happen. He didn't even mention it (as far as I know) when one of the models from the Koakuma cover died, only a week or so after the photos were revealed. So yes, everyone he blogs about dying was close to him. Otherwise there'd be a neverending stream of 'xxx-san died today' posts. Again, this isn't meant to take away from how incredibly hard this must be for him, and the family of the man who died. It's the same kind of thing, I guess, to "It's always in the last place you look". Duh. Because once you've found it, you stop looking. Ipso facto. (Disregard this if you think it's incredibly bitchy, I just have issues with language. In my head, they operate a certain way, and when things are said which go against that, it really bothers me.) |

Ego Boost~
LAWL. I was looking at photos of beautiful women, which I'm rather apt at by now. I was looking at this girl's blog, and stopped on this picture for a minute: http://b.blog.xuite.net/b/1/6/0/22823634/blog_1681107/txt/27109146/16.jpgMy daughter saw it. "That looks like you." "...Huh?" "It's a girl. But it looks like you." "Really?" "Uh huh." Now, I'm not even a -little- bit asian, and I daresay I weigh a lot more than that girl. But nevertheless, I'll totally take the compliment. xD I love having a three year old. Sure, she insults me accidentally sometimes, but the compliments are awesome xDD Current Mood: Pepped. |
