not looking for God, only for myself

Well, I watched the first volume of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. And, well, I have some thoughts!

( Pros and cons... )

Final Thoughts: So, yeah, it's great! I'm a little nit-picky about it, but I loved it, and so did my sister, and I can't wait to watch the rest of it.

Hahahaha. This is going to be very graphic heavy, just so you know. Time to make up for lost time! I'll get to those Top 5 prompts later. For now, have the rest of these.

Spoilers! Don't say I didn't warn you.

(More non-spoiler icon and mood. I'll fix this in a few days when I'll safely assume everyone whose a fan on my flist has read it and is no longer worried about spoilers.)

( Chapter 108, the final chapter. )

So the last chapter of the Full Metal Alchemist chapter is coming out extremely soon! I have a humble request for the readers on my flist, if there's anyone else other than escalove: Please don't spoil anything if you look at the raws or even read the scans. If you have to post, please put it behind an LJ-cut. I really want to be surprised when I read the final chapter, and spoilers tend to ruin my enjoyment in a fandom. Damn you, Harry Potter fandom!

Music meme because I kept forgetting about it. It was a busy week. (Technically it isn't over for me, OH GOD.)

Day 01 - Your favourite song
Day 02 - A song that makes you happy
Day 03 - A song that makes you sad
Day 04 - A song that reminds you of someone
Day 05 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Day 06 - A song that reminds you of a certain event
Day 07 - A song that you can dance to
Day 08 - A song that makes you fall asleep
Day 09 - A song from your favourite band
Day 10 - A song that no one would expect you to love
Day 11 - A song that describes you
Day 12 - A song from your favourite album
Day 13 - A song that you listen to when you're angry
Day 14 - A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Day 15 - A song that you listen to when you’re sad
Day 16 - A song that you want to play at your wedding
Day 17 - A song that you want to play at your funeral
Day 18 - A song that makes you laugh

Um, because I'm such a dumbass, I listen to music that depresses me whenever I'm sad. I'm a masochist that way; I tend to sulk around for awhile when I'm in a mood. But there's one, uplifting song that reminds me of issues I've worked through and still trying to work through, yet it's optimistic enough to cheer me up whenever I listen to it. ("It's okay by me // It was a long time ago" has plenty of double meanings for me.)

Chapter 80.

( SPOILERS? )

I did some baking today. I made Mini Chip Snowball Cookies for my little sister's class tomorrow; I just left out the nuts. Her teacher decided to give them some dumb assignment where everyone needed to bake homemade cookies for thirty kids and bring them to class - never mind that this is a Catholic school with expensive tuition and not everybody can afford to make cookies for an entire class. Alas, I made five dozen cookies, and thirty-five of them are for the school and that leaves thirteen for us. */headdesk.* But the cookies were a success, so I can't complain.

By the way, I'm reading the Full Metal Alchemist manga to catch up. Right now I'm on chapter 57, so I'm halfway there!
