Drive-By Post Before I Vanish To Do Laundry

Someone online mentioned a Beauty & The Beast Castle that I need to go see while I'm in France. Is this ringing anyone's bells?

Also...

-What does Gojyo's shampoo smell like? I assume, with his hair, he probably using something fairly quality, but I can't think of what. I'm tempted to go with Tea Tree Oil Shampoo, which smells minty and green and tingles pleasantly, but since that's what I use, I'm not sure it's allowed.

-During the summer

pzb, my mother, possibly

renegadekitsuneand I had a conversation about the ikkou's musical taste, which is notable for the way every single person said immediately, 'Gojyo listens to rock.' Which is kind of a gimme, but still, aren't we sympathico? So my question is, what are the ikkou's musical guilty pleasures? What is the music that Gojyo plays that Hakkai actually likes? For Gojyo himself, I think he wouldn't admit to liking Ray Lamontagne, but would because that artist has this wonderful sense of romance combined with the doubt that love even exists. (Go listen to "Jolene" - it's gorgeous and totally on my 'Forget Me Not' playlist, and only

smillaraaqis going to know what that means.)

Also, I went to Giverny today, which is where Monet painted and it was utterly gorgeous and so, so peaceful, I just wanted to stay there listening to music and looking at the flowers, in this lovely, hazy misty morning, with a truly lovely dove-gray sky and the birds chirping.

What was less fun was that while I was walking to Monet's house I had my head turned and walked straight into the lamp post that was for some unfathomable reason in the middle of the sidewalk. Seriously, it was a total slap-stick moment; I expected to see Charlie Chaplan hanging around. Almost as painful as it was embarrassing.

I figured Gojyo just used the little complimentary bottles of shampoo in the hotels.

Ow. Hope you didn't bruise anything.

See, I've known enough guys with really pretty long hair that they took really horrible care of, that I can sort of see Gojyo just grabbing whatever stuff was the cheapest, or the first thing he saw on the shelf, and maybe not being so fussy about what it smells like since he does smoke a lot. If he were to be fussy about shampoo I can see it maybe being after he notices that the scent of a particular brand really gets him a lot of compliments from the bargirls -- but at the same time, I can sort of see him being a little conflicted about that sort of attention, given all of his ISSUES about his hair?

Along with really loud, crunchy rock, I can almost see Gojyo being a bit into dance music -- maybe not collecting it or listening to it outside of the clubs, but he's so graceful and confident in movement that it seems like he'd be a natural on the dancefloor...ESPECIALLY once he figured out how much women tend to like a man who's a good dancer!

Goku, I'm not so sure about. Sanzo, I think I can mostly tell what he WOULDN'T like -- anything that annoys him, which would probably be anything too loud, or too catchy, or too popular so it's hard to avoid (that goes double for anything Gojyo likes.) I have a feeling that getting earworms would make him really, really grumpy, and he hardly needs any assistance there!

Hakkai strikes me as the classical sort, maybe even an opera lover: all those heightened over-the-top passions and doomed lovers might strike a chord with him, it's a way of wallowing in those intense emotions he doesn't generally let show.

(Oh hey, speaking of music, did you already get the last batch of stuff I uploaded for you last week?)

Hi! I miss hanging out with you. How is France? Are your classes going well? School just started here.

The castle they are mentioning is in the middle of france. I think they mean Neuschwanstein castle, but that is in Germany. I have always wanted to go there. Looking on the internet I found The Castle of Sleeping Beauty (Chateau d'Usse). I believe it is in the Loir Valley.

Miss you,
Kristina

Yeah, I said the stuff about Usse! It's totally the Sleeping Beauty castle. Go check it out.

And I think Gojyo and Queen go hand in hand...PZB and I had a chat about this.....As it were, I think Gojyo's guilty pleasure would be Jazz.

Herm. I imagine Gojyo would prefer better quality shampoo, but he's probably forced to go with whatever he can afford. I'm not sure what brands are available in China and Japan. Anywho, I've had a great deal of success with Fructis Long & Strong - around 5 bucks a bottle and it does the job. As for scents, I think he'd go for vanilla or coconut which can be had in most affordable brands. I can see him getting Suave in a pinch.

Woo music. I would guess they would like whatever matches their overall personalities.

Genjyo: jazz, classical, ambient, folk, rhythm & blues, blues, rock & pop (nothing overwhelmingly popular of course)

Gojyo: hard rock, bluegrass, country & western, glam metal

Hakkai: jazz, classical, opera, showtunes

Goku: pop, rap, death metal, maybe goth, any contemporary music you can dance to.

Yeah. I think they would like some of the same genres, but would differ about which musicians and sub-genres they prefer.

Oooo... what a fun question! Okay, here's kinda what I think:

Gojyo~ Music, obviously rock. Probably something classic or leaning toward metal. Guilty pleasure... techno. With heavy bass lines and lots of dark, sensual undertones. Think a little along the lines of Aphix Twins.

Hakkai~ Music, something soothing, like Nora Jones or Pete Yash. As a guilty pleasure, hard core, borderline emo punk. I'm thinking My Chemical Romance on this one, and maybe even The Used.

Goku~ Happy punk, aka Fallout Boy and Panic! At the disco. Guilty pleasure: I could see Goku liking classical music, if only because it's so beautiful that it allows you to imagine things. *nods* Light classical though, like maybe Mozart... or, if we were going a little more contemporary, maybe include Cirque du Soleil in this category. Not that he would EVER go and get it himself. Gojyo would tease him horribly for it. That's why he begs Hakkai to, pretty pleeeeeease, go get it for him?

Sanzo~ Doesn't listen to music. Why would he want to? His guilty pleasure... he's got a collection of music hidden inside the temple that's insane and covers everything from AC/DC to Tchaikovsky. The three talking heads keep cutting off the Best Buy card that mysteriously was assigned to the temple... and somehow it keeps opening back up again. Does Sanzo care? No. He wants the new Maroon 5 cd, damn it!

*grins* Of course, that's all mostly just playing around. Ahhh... fun!

The Beauty and the Beast castle... Are you talking about the one used in the original black and white movie, La Belle et le Bete? Or are you referring to a historical place for the REAL story? And I'm sorry about your slapstick moment! I swear to God I wasn't laughing. Not at all. Are you okay though?

I am sorry your classmates are not the greatest (are they international students too?), but still, France YAY!

It is harder to meet up with people by not living in the dorm, and none of us are sure what happened to Sand3. I still am able to meet up with people by going up to Ridgeway or bumping into people in the library.

My apartment is fantastic, minus no internet and having to cook. My roommate this year is very nice. She is not in the fandoms I am, but on our third day there she made me curry for dinner so that's alright.

Senior homework is horrible, full of confusion and really long chapters. I do like my classes though. I am currently in two accounting and one management class. What are your classes like?
