keeping the ice storm away from here? What? Won't work? Ain't risking it.

Did manage to run out of sugar pills and guess who needs them now? Yeah. at least i have oranges.

Got home and the landlord was waiting with that filter he went to get a week ago...then informs me that on friday they're coming into my place to put a molding around the living room ceiling....Um WHAT? Oh it looks great. takes about two hours. WHAT??? Do I have to move things? thinking i'd have to take off work to accomplish this. Nah, we can work around it. Oh lord... I'm going to move some things any how.

Kanda now insists on being held constantly. I'm not sure if he's afraid he's next (as I mentioned last night), lonely or enjoying being my only son at the moment. I suspect the latter.

I finally got to see the Ishval arc on FMA:B. I think I had failed to follow it in Japanese online by this point. Wow. way to rewrite it and completely condense it into one episode. They managed to totally miss some of the most important points. Riza always seeing her father die (In the library dudes, not his deathbed), Riza asking Roy to burn her back. Kimbley got some nice parts, Roy and Maes too. The haunted eyes thing worked well...almost too well. I'm sorry. I know I have Vic M. fans on my flist but I am NOT one of them. The man has very little skill other than to scream out his lines to show emotions which was so utterly inappropriate for half of Ed's lines here. (for that matter, ditto for Yoshimori on Kekeishi (sp?) which is annoying enough without him). Very disappointing episode really. I would rather have lost the boring clip show with Hoho and gotten TWO episodes with this.


I'm also reminded today that British and American mysteries are SO VERY different. It's not uncommon for British mysteries to take 100 pages to get moving. American mysteries someone better be dead in a page or two or else. The weird thing is, British mysteries are still highly popular here (not so sure if the reverse is true) so why are American publishers so loathed to give an author a little time to set the stage (though arguably the British ones take too long to get to the point)

My Ling/Lan Fan/Al Springkink just took a weird bounce into a conversation totally not conducive to sex.

That man has got to be in the closet, and no one can convince me otherwise. I mean - come on. Really. Who does he think he's kidding?

British lit in general moves veeeeery slowly pace-wise. Example - Dickens. Enough said.

I was going to say that I think he protests too loudly.

also, most of his young men have voices that alternate between screechy, or teh stereotypical 'gay man' voice. All that's missing is the stereotypical 'gay accent'.
