I love their face make-up. And the random props and clown-like set decoration, contrasted with the whole bridge portion. And I *love* her eyebrows. Because they totally work on her and would never work on me or anyone else.

I get great amusement out of reading the Adult Swim board (when I can tolerate the obnoxiously childish netspeak, anyway), since FMA has aired.

Just reading people's reactions. And knowing that they have no idea what's about to hit them. They're all, "Oh, it's pretty good so far but it'l never beat Cowboy Bebop/FLCL/etc."

I'm in the corner, snickering and laughing my butt off. Because they have no idea.

Fun links

What are the religious afilliations of U. S. Supreme Court Justices, past and present? ... very straight-forward page, with categorical (by denomination and percentage) listings. The sort of thing you might have wondered about and never knew. For instance, there was one Quaker-practicing Justice, but there have never been any Mormons, and Rhenquist is the first Luthren on the court. Neat, huh?

DBZ DIVX - this page hosts the most recent episodes of a few different anime series, including Nartuo, Bleach, Samurai 7, and Samurai Champloo, for direct download. It used to feature FMA when that was running, but has stopped since the series ended. While sometimes slow to update, I've found this site to be a life-saver given that I don't have bittorrent anymore, and I need my crack Naruto. You have to be up to date with the 1 or 2 latest episodes though, because they don't have an archive of older ones. (although, right now they have an odd exception and are currently hostings eps 107-112 of Naruto.)

http://asfdotcom.net/ - an archive of all the episode opening themes, closing themes, promos, and commercials for the "Adult Swim" programming block on the Cartoon Network. Includes media for anime series (FMA, Inu Yasha) and comedy cartoons (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Futurama).

"Coin-Operated Boy" music video by The Dresden Dolls - I wish I could have eyebrows like that and still look that good.

Lunabean - my favorite website for PS2 game walk-throughs. Has saved me in a pinch more than once, particularly when I just can't find one stupid little item in Kingdom Hearts, or remember how to get around.

http://fullmetal-alchemist.com/ - the ultimate fancy-pants high-brow FMA fan website. I love these guys. They have manga, they have music, they have episode summaries, they have excellent FMA news updates, and their site is so organized. And easy to read. And never gives me headaches like other fansites.

Fullmetallist LJ Community - of which I am the chief community pusher. We're a small but industrious community, just starting out and figuring what we want to be. FMA fans and those curious about FMA are welcome, welcome, welcome.

And BEST OF ALL!...
