Dear readers, if I may bring your attention to the bottom of the left panel of this blog, I now have a message box up. So, if you don't feel like registering with Vox, you can still leave your comments and other related/unrelated messages on Cbox. Feel free to use it to yell at me for slacking off updating this blog. I don't do it on purpose, seriously.
Hopefully, this Cbox can make the blog more interactive. I'd love to get inputs from you all.
I wish I can move the entire panel up so you guys don't have to scroll down. But Vox doesn't have this functionality right now. >_>
And on an unrelated note, the domain auralcandy.com now points to this blog. If you're too lazy to type the "vox" part of auralcandy.vox.com, feel free to use the domain instead.
I'm really not dead!
Real life has taken priority and I'm in the process of sorting everything out. My 2.5-month-stay in New York City has ended and I'm now home. Though, it's (highly) likely that I'll be returning to NYC next year, this time for taking up a job offer.
Now, I'm trying to figure out how to get an apartment in Midtown Manhattan or Upper East Side without going bankrupt from the outrageous rent. Even though I won't move until around summer of next year, I still need to begin research on how to land an apartment for under $1500 a month. Is it even possible for Midtown and Upper East Side, two of the highest cost areas of NYC? How about with southern exposure, laundry, (elevator), doorman thrown in? Should I put up an looking-for-roommate ad? >_<
I swear I'll get back to blogging about beloved J-Rock soon. Just... let me figure out my life right now. ^_^;;
I'm leaving tomorrow for NYC. Not sure how often I'll be able to update this blog from next Monday on. I can either be struck down by work and be dead throughout most of the upcoming weeks. Or, work won't be too bad and I can continue to write in here regularly. Or, maybe I'll be so distracted with hanging out with old friends and going out that I won't give an arse about updating here. We'll have to see.
Though, I'll try to write during the weekends.
Wish me a safe flight.
As for that Dir en grey live in NYC, I've no idea if I can make it. If I do, you can expect a live report from me. Again, we'll see.
Yep, like the title says, I'll be compiling the J-Rock Festival live reports I come across in the upcoming days. I'm subscribed to a lot of J-Rock fandom communities/journals and I've already seen 2 reports pop up. I'll also be combing through the usual forums as well.
Stay tuned.
And by the way, Kagrra, was back in traditional kimono outfits on Friday night!!! And I'm so holding Isshi to his promise of returning to the US.
Oh, and Shin wrote a lovely message in his blog:
LA Live is over.
I am very thankful for a passionate welcome. It was such a short time but I never forget this first Live in LA.
We flight back to JAPAN tomorrow morning. I can't believe it's over . and hope for the next time. So we can came back.Then again thank you very much for coming tonight.
This is a response to an incident a few weeks earlier at this blog. Someone apparently had some issues with what I wrote in a review entry and left a few comments that didn't sit too well with me.
To address this matter and hopefully prevent any future unpleasantness, I'm going to get the following out of the way now:
I don't appreciate people commenting on my music review posts attacking me personally for not liking certain releases. My reviews are solely my opinions. I'd like to respectfully remind everyone that this is my own blog and I'm entitled to express my opinions here in any way or form. If you don't like what I write, there's no stopping you from hitting that "back" button. But, you're welcome to disagree with me as long as you do so civilly and intelligently. I'll respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. Once you start the personal attack, however, don't blame me if I use that delete comment function to my advantage.
And by the way, just because I like certain artists doesn't mean I must enjoy their every single release.
Thank you and let's move on.
(And thus concludes the polite version of how I feel. If you want the not-so-polite version, read it in the comments to this entry.)
