My wish is coming true! <3

I´ve just learnt that "Call me by your name" will be brought to the big screen. YAY!!!!
The director is Luca Guadagnino (“A Bigger Splash”), starring Armie Hammer, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Timothée Chalamet.
The only person I know is Armie Hammer. I´m very curious how this will turn out.
Since the first time I read this novel, written by André Aciman, I immediately thought this book would make a great movie. And I want Tom Ford to direct it. :D
Nonetheless I am so happy this novel is coming to life. Thank u director Guadagnino and James Ivory for picking up this project.

For anyone who is interested, here is a short summery of the synopsis:
"Mid 1980’s. North of Italy not far from the Garda Lake. The sensitive and cultivated 17-year-old Elio, an only child of the American-Italian Perlman family, is facing another lazy summer at his parents’ villa when Oliver arrives. Oliver is an academic who comes to help Elio’s father, an eminent professor and specialist in Greek culture, with his work. The visitor will be their guest for the next six weeks during the summer. A charming 24-year-old American scholar, Oliver is breezy, spontaneous, handsome, and he’s the kind of person who charms everyone he meets. The meeting of these two young men sets in motion the danger of an unbridled adolescent passion in the setting of the beautiful and languid Italian countryside."

On a side note: I can´t see the buttons for insert links, picture and etc... Does it happen to anyone else?

Ah Life ...

Shu Qi got married! She married Hong Kong actor-director Stephen Fung, whom she has known for almost 20 years. (Bishonen is still on the list of my favourite movies). And she is 40 years old. That means I still have time! (bitter laughing) 229
Anyways, congrats to the couple! no title

On a side note: Taguchi´s comeback causes a riff between the fandom. His fans, of course, rejoice. The fans of the other three are pissed off because he said he wanted to leave the entertainment life behind and yet, he now comeback as a singer. ( Or is there any misunderstanding? 235) So it looks like he left the group to go solo. I - as a fan of them all - to be honest, don´t feel upset or betrayed. Because for me it looked like he left the group because of some disputes with the agency, not because he wanted to leave his menbers. I am rather happy to see him again. I just didn´t expect him to comeback so soon. Koki needed almost a year and Koki didn´t say he wanted to leave the entertainment world. I don´t know what Taguchi is thinking. That certain was not a good idea to promote himself now.

There goes another reason why I should stay in Johnny's fandom.

So SMAP will Be Disbanded at the end of this year but the members still remain with J&A!
I'm not a fan of SMAP's music except a few old songs, but their variety shows are really fun to watch. And I like Kimura. Honestly I don't have any feeling towards this news. After the mess with KAT-TUN I don't invest much my time and feeling in the fandom, except for Kame, Maru, Ueda's individual works and some Arashi shows. Maybe it's resignation. Or real life just caught me up. I want to watch zillion vids of my favs, but I simply don't have enough time anymore.
Still it's surely the end of an era. Probably only SMAPXSMAP will be gone, which is my most favourite SMAP's show. ~sign~
It's so frustrating not to know what really happened behind closed door. So the relationship between members went sour? Since when? Since beginning of this year? because of what happened with their general manager? I know they are not best friends like me and my best friends but they are always professional in their job. It's the same with Taguchi's departure. Only because of a maybe upcoming marriage? It's so ridiculous.
Many said some members will probably part way with the agency after that. My opinion on this is, the moment the old man bite the dust J&A will fall apart.

Trying to change the layout to suit the season

So I have had the old layout since last fall. Now it´s already summer and I need to change the layout, but it was not easy like I thought. Because I have no knowledge about creating layout, I just wanted to use one made by <lj user="layout_lounge">. Last time I just needed to copy-paste the code und saved the change. But now in their new code I had to add the header and background image myself. It took me awhile to understand how to do it. It was fun, but I still need to change the layout more to suit my liking.
Now it´s already late, I will continue again tomorrow.

There is a new movement in town.

I Recently Learnt To Know About A (for Me) New Way Of Life, Zero Waste Living. I Watched A Report On Tv About A Girl Named Lauren Singer, Who In Two Years produced Only So Much Trash that Could Fit In A Mason Jar. Yes, A Mason Jar. That Sounded For Me Unbelievable Too. But when I saw how she lived, i realised it was possible, but she had to give up on so many things. I could never do that. Let just take an example, cosmetics. once in every three months or so there is a new make-up line of every make-up company. I am not even crazy about cosmetics. I only buy what I need, but all of them have plastic packaging. Or in the supermarket, everything was in plastic too. We separated our trash in packaging waste, glasses and residual waste. Recently I started to separate biodegradable waste for composting too. I thought even if I couldn't live like Laurent, I should at least reduce my trash. I started with plastic bags. Now I use canvas totes or reuseable bags for shopping. What made this decision easy for me is the fact that many supermarkets and drugstores in Germany don't give out single-use plastic bags anymore. We have to buy reuseable bags.
The second thing I did was to stop buying yoghurt and pudding in plastic cups. Luckily there was one company selling yoghurt in big glas jars. Now there is even two companies doing it. They took back the used jars two.
About cosmetics and drugstore stuffs, I changed to the natural ones. I still can't solve the problem with the packaging though. Lauren made her own cremes and cleaning detergents. I wanted to give it a try and will probably start with a body creme first.
Apparently there is one store in my city, where they sell food in bulk, meaning no packaging. I wanted to go there but haven't found the time yet.
That's all for now. Let's See How long I can keep this up!!

Here is Lauren's blog: http://www.trashisfortossers.com/?…

Nothing last forever

I should know that by now. But it still hurt...

I don´t know what is going on behind the stage but somehow I can understand his standpoint. Everyone in KAT-TUN has a high desire for success. Except Kame, noone in KT really stands out in J-showbiz. And if J&A can´t give him the life he wants, no wonder he wants out.
I´m sad, but I´m not angry at him. I wish him luck and success for the future.
But I´m really scared for the rest of them. Who is next? Sure they will continue as three for now, but for how long?
It´s a pity that such a once successful group end up like that.
