Dreamer Easy

A classy and well-shot performance gives a lift to SHINee's Love Like Oxygen, a pleasing but unremarkable song.

Looking at Taemin in this - well, here's what he looks like these days (GIF not mine):



By coming in late I've missed years of mushroom-headed baby!Taemin, instead discovering him as "the young man poised on the brink of maturity, a time that the Greeks saw as the apex of masculine perfection." Even now, with only Taemin-ah still in his teens, the band will switch confusingly between sexeh namjas and non-threatening boys as required. But as a dirty old woman, I have an advantage over the fangirls in their teens and twenties: I know how handsome Taemin is going to be at forty. And seventy.

And so, in conclusion (GIF not mine):

THE INCIDENT has just been repeated - like, about five minutes ago. I know this because of fans tweeting from the concert. What a way to experience porn - in the form of brief text messages in multiple languages. GIFS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

ETA: Literally seconds later: http://twitpic.com/akwr29

ETA: OMFG http://preciousontae.tumblr.com/post/29687079015

ETA: Tumblr is flooded with delicious snaps. I'm storing them here: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/aegyopoisoned http://aegyopoisoned.tumblr.com/

It turns out that I went so crazy over THE INCIDENT that I almost blew our Internet quota for the month...



... I REGRET NOTHING

SHINee's concert last night included such a raunchy number that people in the audience were tweeting the details live. The reactions on Tumblr have been hilarious - in the best possible fannish way. Remember that delightful video of the two young women reacting to Professor Yana's stopwatch? Like that, but with more porn, funny animated GIFs, and dead bodies. (Even the dissent is largely polite and/or cheeky.)

This sort of thing.



(By a happy coincidence, these are the two members of the band I personally find the most sexually attractive. That's Taemin at right, who has just now turned 19 in Western reckoning, and Jonghyun at left with the tattoos - the names of his online fan clubs! - and the handcuffs.)

Having now absorbed sufficient "fancams" of my favourite K-pop band performing their latest single, "Sherlock", live, I believe I can now accurately render for you the audience reaction. Thusly:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SHINEE'S BACK! SHINEE'S BACK! BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
LEE TAEMIN! LEE JINKI! KIM JONGHYUN! KIM KIBUM! CHOI MINHO! SHERLOCK! BITNANEUN SHINEE!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ALL STOP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH TOE JOE BABY
OH I'M CURIOUS YEAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M SO CURIOUS YEAH SHINEE I'M SO CURIOUS YEAH

OH I'M CURIOUS YEAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BITNADA SARAJYEO BITNANEUN SHINEE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH ***THUD***
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH TOE JOE BABY
OH I'M CURIOUS YEAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M SO CURIOUS YEAH SHINEE I'M SO CURIOUS YEAH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHINEE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHINEE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

(The THUD is me. It occurs when Jonghyun does THE THING with his hips.)

ETA: Key imitates THE THING at about 11.35 here, making me suspect it's a wholly intentional piece of terpsichorean showoffery. :) THE THING itself can be viewed at about 2.34 here, or more clearly here at about 2.55. Teojyeo, baby!

lol, XAMFM is accidentally playing the Japanese version of "Sherlock" for the second time in ten minutes. Not that I'm complaining (or obsessed, or anything :).



Nope, nope, not at all obsessed!

I only meant to describe a character's hat, but have gone off into a lengthy meditation on the conquest of space (or rather, one of my characters has). Still have not described hat. Not to worry, it's all word count. Now for lunch and more Korean jailbait of the reality show to which I have assigned the personal title Five Clots and a Baby.

PS I jest, they're legal. And frankly too young to turn me on. But very pretty nonetheless. ETA: ho ho ho, that innocent little phase didn't last long, did it?
PPS Fansubbers get an automatic entry pass to heaven. :x

PPPS



A question we all ask ourselves at times. ETA: And one which turns out to be a catchphrase of the show and of the fandom. :)

I borrowed Luke Rhinehart's The Dice Man today because Gareth-David Lloyd said he liked it in an interview.

(I'd also like to note that Frankus is sitting on my desk in such a way that it's very difficult to type most vowels without flicking him in the nose.)
