Everything
Jul. 22nd, 2009 10:15 pmIt's going to be another fifty-hour week. Pretty sure it's going to be like this until the end of August.
I got a new computer, though! It's so exciting; I can turn it on and go to the restroom and when I come back, it's booted up. Also, I can't hear the fan from my bedroom, and the mouse buttons aren't mushy and sticky from having orange juice spilled on them. At least, the keyboard smelled like oranges around the same time I noticed that the buttons were wonky, even though I never did recall spilling anything on that laptop. Anyway, it's going to be awhile before I've got everything downloaded and installed, what with pretty much living at work on the weekdays and then spending the weekends running errands and trying to catch up on sleep, but I did get The Sims 3 (yay for a computer that can actually run it!), so I must not value free time that much.
As I mentioned earlier, I saw Half-Blood Prince last weekend. ( Approval! )
Oh, and! FMA: Brotherhood has been so good lately.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clodia_risa told me that episode 15 was everything and more that I would have wanted in an adaptation of those chapters, and she was so right. The voices were perfect, the animation was great, the lines were well-timed, and the story was endearing. A total turnaround from most of the earlier episodes, really. One of you said that you would have liked to see Roy's reaction to...the scene from the end of chapter 30, which I agree would have made the episode even better, but I'm not going to complain. I hope not too many people were driven away by the production values of the first 14 episodes (well, besides the first one, I guess), although maybe some were like me and kept watching it every week for the opening theme. Which has now been replaced. Oh well.
