Episode 13 of FMA is on Adult Swim tonight.

MUST WATCH.

MUST SEE ENGLISH ACTOR DO DORKY!ROY VOICE. MUST DIG THE ANGST. MUST WATCH HAWKEYE SHOOT THINGS.


... Today I made 110 bucks helping my dad move stuff from his apartment to the house my parents are now renting for the next six months or so, until they find a permanent house down here in Orange County. I actually made more like $150, but 110 was all my dad had on him, so we're going to work out the difference later. One of my housemates helped, which really sped up the process considerably, since he was, like, much taller than me and as broad-shouldered as my dad, but less than half as old. It's a good thing he was there and we had a dolly, because that stuff was freaking heavy. Especially the 7-something piece desk set.

I'll be doing a lot of homework tomorrow, and enjoying the little superbowl party our house is having. I won't be enjoying the superbowl of course (couldn't care a whit about it), but I'll be enjoying the snacks and all the people getting together.

In celebration of psychodragon82 finally watching Esca (aka the best anime ever until FMA)...

A Vid Rec List for The Vision of Escaflowne

1. Believe in Me
song: Tonight, Tonight
artist:The Smashing Pumpkins
spoilers: episode 26
comments: So very very pretty. It's my favorite Esca video. And what a wonderful, soaring song to go with a wonderful, soaring anime.


2. I Just Can't Wait to be King
song: I Just Can't Wait to be King
artist: Disney, The Lion King OST
spoilers: er...early/middlish of the anime. No major plot points spoiled.
comments: Van, Van, Van...someone needs to give that boy a whap to the head with a walking stick.

3. Devotion
song: #1 Crush
artist: Garbage
spoilers: episode 26
comments: I swear, you could make 3 bajillion romance vids for this show, and it'd NEVER get dull. This is a very, very good one. As are the others I will be mentioning. But this one has that really cool song.

4. Gunning Down Romance
song: Gunning Down Romance
artist: Savage Garden
spoilers: episode 26
comments: It's angst. Live it, breathe it, romanticize it.

5. Glory of Love
song: Glory of Love
artist: Peter Cetera
spoilers: episode 26
comments: This is one of the top 10% downloaded videos on AMV.org. Because it's perfect. I mean, it's disgusting how perfect this video is. Although, the Tonight Tonight video mentioned above (by the same vidder) is my personal favorite.

side note: supposedly this song is by Peter Cetera, but I could have sworn it was by Chicago. Unless Peter Cetera is the lead singer of Chicago? Who knows. EDIT: Turns out he is.


mock movie trailers:

6. Escadune
movie: Dune
spoilers: episode 26
comments: Surprisingly good choice for an Esca trailer. Really goes with the whole mythic quality of the show.

7. Escaflowne: Zone of Absolute Fortune
movie: The Mummy Returns
spoilers: I'm just gonna say episode 26 to be safe, though it's vague on actual events.
comments: War sucks.



NOTE: For a few other good videos, check out the extras on the first Escaflowne DVD; you'll find 3 music videos to music from the series; my favorite is "Into The Light". All are spoilery.

FMA funnyness

From the Adult Swim Board....on the question of Roy Mustang being one of "the Sins"...


Gluttony: Could Roy be...Pride?

Metatronda: Man, all he does is sit behind a desk. And he can't even be bothered enough to really get into his alchemy. I mean, he just snaps his fingers. How much more Sloth-ful can you get?

Battousai908: yano sitting behind a desk all day everyday could make a person become very Wrath-ful to others.

samaside: Or, even... The way he manipulates things... He wants everything to go HIS way. He wants everything to go exactly as planned.
Possibly he could be Greed?

Battousai908:Yes he could but I'm betting alot of people Envy him cuz he can pick up the chicks.

The funny thing here is that three of these four people have seen the whole series, and are just totally messing around with the other guy. Ahh... what it was like to be unspoiled and new, so long, long ago...
