I haven't been really paying much attention to the Olympics past the opening ceremony, but this afternoon I've got the women's hurdles or sprinting or whatever on in the background. Sometimes I look over at the tv and see their leg and stomach muscles pumping and I think, "Oh. So that's what exercise is. Looks hard."

I just thought of a funny FB icon.

Shigure, Ayame, and Hatori together pic with some smutty caption... then Tohru saying, "Um.. aren't you cousins?" And Arisa saying, "Yeah isn't that, like, triple incest?"... and then a pic of Hana infront of that crowd of screaming fangirls from episode 13 or whatever, saying something witty to the effect of "It doesn't count."

I think I'll make that next week.

Naruto vid rec

Naruto's World by Einhänder
song: My World
artist: SR-71

I am very picky about Naruto videos, and when I find one that is pretty good, even better one that is not a strict action video, I like to reccomend it because such vids are few and far between. This video is interesting because it focuses on the Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke relationship and explores that theme pretty thoroughly. It made me go "Awwwww..." in a sad kind of way, and want to comfort something. A big part of the reason the video works for me is that the song was very well chosen in terms of lyrics-- it wasn't just any cool song slapped onto a cool show. The words are practically a Hallmark card to Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke angst.

While at times the video tries too hard with special effects, overall the timing is good and the clips chosen all emphasize the character themes of the video. I especially liked the occasional shot of the butterflies from the 1st season ending credits-- it added to the video's emotional-artistic-rather-than-action-artistic ambitions. It also got 31 reviews which makes it hot snot on amv.org, and it turned out to be worth the look I gave it.

I never get tired of this Spike icon, you know? It sums up my one true fandom so well.

On other news...

octopedingenue, do not despair my love. FMA does not end in 8 episodes as we have been led to believe.

Indeed not. For there is...

THE MOVIE.

Mwahahahaaaaa... MWAHAHAHAAAHAAAAAA.

MWAHAHAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAA!


Note: Trailer does not contain spoilers, only announces itself as coming soon. I don't even know if it is during the series or after it. For that matter, I don't want to know and won't until I see how the series ends. Also, I didn't really understand the words, so if you speak Japanese then you might indeed find the trailer spoilery after all.
