It has come to my attention that I haven't done much in the way of fangirling for awhile now, and this is sort of disappointing from someone who consumes a lots of entertainment. So, I have decided to make up for the lack of excited fangirling with a pimp post for As the World Turns, an American soap opera that has been going for approx 50 years or so. More specifically I'm pimpin' the Luke & Noah storyline, whose love story is like watching a BoyLove manga series.

Luke and Noah's story is a simple story of boy meets boy and falling in love - except this is soap opera, and nothing happens without massive amount of angst and trauma. Luke is openly gay, Noah is so in denial that the closet doesn't even exist for him, to make matters worse Noah dates one of Luke's close friend. There is flirtation (wet, semi-naked flirtation), a kiss that Noah vehemently denies, jealousy, and Noah's psycho homophobic father whom is all about getting rid of Luke because he's obviously turning Noah gay. And I'm not even going to go into the hospital stay and the physical therapy. So, it is like BL manga with real people.

Furthermore, Luke and Noah are just stupidly cute.

The whole Luke & Noah storyline on youtube.

Some wiki entries to assist with the visual information. All about Luke, and all about Luke and Noah.

And that's my fannish contribution for the, oh next year or so.

perseid, I'm not sure if you have seen this yet but below is a clip of Epik High's performance of Fan at this year's KM 2007 Golden Disk Award. I think it is their best live performance of the song, ever. They used the gayageum for the song, and it just add layers to it.



Also, I know you don't have much of an interest in SuJu outside of their appearances on variety shows, but check out their performaces at the KM 2007 Golden Disk Award. K.R.Y. plus Kangin, Sungmin and Siwon did a Jazz rendition of Marry You (this is awesome in ways that make use of their individual strong points). They also performed Don't Don (insane as usual, I tend to forget just how good they really are during their fast songs). However, it is A Man In Love that gets to me. It has one of the most bizarre dance choreography that's really hard to describe, and I can't tell you why I like it so much. The following clip has all 3 performances.
