Now watching the Blu-ray that came with "Giant"

First up is the jacket-making video, which is pretty boys in gorgeous outfits posing for photos. No talking in this one, just music.

There's an adorable #2Min bit where #Seungmin is too happy and #LeeKnow can't bear it. He has to avert his eyes and look at the floor, but his fondness is so loud.

I think I will try to figure out if I can connect my Blu-ray player to my computer in order to grab some screenshots at least.

Paused right now on an image of #BangChan with two of his #ChromeHearts bracelets displayed with incredible clarity. #skzSignificantJewellery

I'm so used to trying to grab captures off YouTube videos that turn into a smeary low-res mess whenever paused.

I don't think I've ever watched Blu-rays before, and didn't know that the image quality would still be so incredibly high when paused.

It feels weird that I can't save this as a still image to share here, or even to hoard away selfishly.

I have even tried taking photos of the TV, but they don't come out right. Maybe something to do with the encoding?? It looks perfectly fine on the TV, but the phone camera colours are all off and there are bands of green or blue across it. I guess it could be a DRM thing??

#skzGiant

Um. Whoops.

I bravely did not buy *every* new #skz thing that arrived at #IHeartKpop yesterday.

But I have definitely overspent on #skzMerch this month.

(Not all of it was from I Heart Kpop. Maybe about two thirds??)

Recent acquisitions:

* A #skzLightStick pin to go on my handmade replica of one of #Felix's Louis Vuitton beanies (in place of the LV badge that's on the genuine version)

* #PuppyM beanie (I think this was part of the range sold at the Japanese concerts last year??)

* PuppyM Tamagotchi, that came with a set of 8 photocards

* Red version of HOP album (I already had the blue version)

* Giant version A (with Blu-ray)

* The Sound version A (with Blu-ray)

* Maniac Seoul concert Blu-ray

* Bonus photo cards with purchases from I Heart Kpop (today the person noticed that #Seungmin is my bias, so they picked out 4 Seungmin cards for me ๐Ÿ’•)

* A second album for my photocards, because the first one is overflowing

* A pack of photocard sleeves

* A fucking multi-region combo Blu-ray and DVD player (because I legit expected that I wouldn't ever again watch videos stored on physical media when I could just stream things, oh god why can't I just *stream things*)

I was deeply tempted to buy some of the member-designed Japanese merch, including #I_N's green knit balaclava and Seungmin's I LOVE MY SHOES packing cube. Please praise my restraint.

I don't know if I want to open all these items at once, or spread them out over time, but I think it will probably be more enjoyable to spread them out.

(It was a mistake to open all those Nacific photocards at once. I wish I'd only opened one pack a day instead.)

what the fuck

what the fucking fuck

i thought this was some kinda augmented reality thing at the #skzDominateSaoPaulo show

but it's ... an inflatable??

the way it writhes as it inflates. this is amazing and creepy and i love it so much

(also noting the heavy emphasis on red and blue, with the blue costumes and the strong red lighting. it's like the combination of the red and the blue is what creates the giant)

(at some point I will get back to the red and blue analysis because it's still simmering in my brain)

Back in #skz's rookie year, when #I_N was first getting a bit obsessed with accessories, there was a particular oval glass pendant necklace that he bought in a bunch of different colours. The other members used to borrow (or steal) them quite often.

At some point I'd like to figure out how many of them there actually were, and see if the colours match up at all with the egg colours from Giant.

Seems unlikely, but not impossible

I know he had black, purple, and red for sure. I'm going to keep an eye out for more

Every reaction is precious, but his reaction to #Seungmin's photos is perfect

(in Japanese without English subtitles, but he's saying stuff like: Amazing! Cute!)
