Who are you calling a pipsqueak?
by Denise Sawicki on April 23, 2011

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.

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 »

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.
