So now we have moved on to watching Fullmetal Alchemist. We borrowed season 1 from the library. I quite like it. I never got tired of the main recurring joke yet :P. And Ed's a cutie. I know, you all were dyingt to hear more about my bizarro taste in, er, "men"... haha :) We will probably wind up buying season 2, since it is not at the library and is quite cheap at Walmart. Yeah for some reason Walmart seems to be a lot lower than Amazon on some of these items.

Sorry to Lori and any other fans if I've sounded overly negative about anime. I'm just an overly negative person I guess.I like all we've seen. That's why it's all I've been writing about!

Also to Lori, you did a marvelous job on the Fullmetal military uniform. I didn't even remember that that was the show, but when I saw the uniforms I remembered seeing the photos (a lot of years ago, probably!) of Ray in the costume you made. It's quite accurate.

For what it's worth, you don't come across as negative about anime. You wouldn't still watch it if you didn't like it. :-)  I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.

Adventures with Free Desserts

Four recent adventures with free desserts: 1. We had not much to do on Saturday morning so, against our better judgement, we decided to go to the furniture store, who had sent us a coupon offering free breakfast and a free gift to "preferred customers". Breakfast turned out to be doughnuts. Go »

Free stuff bandits

So we discovered that the limited edition "holiday" flavors of that Swiss chocolate are secretly on sale for 90% off... so we went and bought out all the gingerbread chocolate from the Target stores in Fargo and Moorhead, haha. We are so evil. Go »

Insecurity, North Dakota weather

Does my insecurity have no end? Will I ever stop embarrassing myself and annoying others by putting myself down? Is there some drug I can take to make myself stop? Go »

Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?

Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. Go »

Our dog is smart

Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »

Nothing much

Well I figured I should mention my health thingy is OK and I don't have to get any more tests for another year... :P The weeks are going by really fast, it's quite alarming. and alcohol is fun. Go »
