You are all wildly jealous of me

[akujunkan]

Or at least some of you will be, when you learn that I had 5th row seats Tuesday night to see Onmyoji's own Abe no Seimei performing kyogen. Man, he's beautiful. He was the lead act in Chidori, followed by his father and uncle in Kogarakasa, which I'd actually seen performed two years ago as an opening act to some actual noh Noh. Needless to say, Tuesday night's performance was much more interesting, for obvious reasons.

* Other random observations:
* He absolutely looks like a fox (NPI) even when he isn't trying.
* They must have white face-powdered the heck out of him for Onmyoji, cause he's got one of the ruddiest complexions of any Japanese person I've ever seen.
*Proper outdoor Noh stages are much better than indoor ones, but it can be hard to hear the lines over all the bullfrogs.
* His uncle has a smile like ODB. Flouride, where were you in Japan's hour of need?
* I may actually have understood more of the dialogue than many of the Japanese guests I knew, and I owe it all to you, racy period novels!
* If you attempt to SKWW (see kyogen while white) people will want to know why you are there. Urgently.

That will be all.

I... I HATE YOU. Oh and here was me thinking you were unlucky! *cries sulks and rips out hair with jealousy yo* (I love you really.)

See, I just did the canny thing and saved up all my good luck credits to cash in at this lucky moment.

And I know you love me. All people of discriminating tastes do;)

In other words, your assumption as to my state of mind on reading this was utterly correct.

Hee! We did have a few Onmyoji conversations in Shiga, non? (Or am I just losing my mind.) Would you belive I actually made my parents watch it too?

Maybe a little bit jealous, but I've got the dude on DVD x 2 in a permanent way, y'know.

Who doesn't, these days?

Ahaha! I ♥ you.

[akujunkan.livejournal.com]

In my hour of need, too. I had $3,000 worth of dental work done on my over xmas. And yes, that is indeed in USD.

Anyway, right back atcha with the ♥.

Ah yes. I remember you mentioning that. Something about Japanese toothpaste using, what was it? Sugar? Ouch.

:D

He's shockingly skinny when you see him in Western clothing though. Blech. (Yes, I'm still jealous.)

[akujunkan.livejournal.com]

He is also shockingly hawt in Western clothing. Cause he's not skinny so much as sinewy, which is one of my kinks like woah.
