Got tired of looking at my old journal, but I don't have much to say.

Well... Ed and Al minus alchemy equals...uh-oh. I hope it's not permanent! And the Hohenhien double is far scarier than his counterpart Dante in the first anime.

Hooray for cliffhangers! Can't wait until next week's episode...

My friend chemisis and I watched the three Death Note movies over the last three weekends. Quite good, though I think Light was less...what's the word...sympathetic? Although that might be because I haven't finished the anime/manga yet. In the anime I can at least understand where he's coming from, even if I don't agree. Here, the end of Kira was hard to watch, `cause he pretty much snapped and lost it.

L is amazing, by the way, a perfect combination of Holmes-like deduction and idiosyncrasy. "Change the WorLd" almost, but not quite, made me cry, just because certain parts of it with L and the two kids were so sweet (no pun intended), particularly with what we know about L at that point.

*sigh*

Why do all my favorite characters meet bad ends?

Exhibit A: Nevva Winters goes from totally evil to true Traveler...then dies. Permanently.
Exhibit B: Batman defeats the Joker...then gets turned into the villain to save Gotham.
Exhibit C: Darth Vader saves Luke and comes back to the light...then dies.
Exhibit D: Maes Hughes figures out what's going on with the Homunculi...then dies.

I could go on, but do you see a theme here? It happens in Death Note too, but I don't want to give away major spoilers. Just suffice to say that I like the movie interpretation better, since Kira gets outwitted one final, fatal time.

I am now the proud owner of a blue betta fish that looks a fair bit like the Windows 7 beta betta. Same fins and all. His name is Riemann, after the mathematician that I studied last year. He's been quite happily blowing bubblenests the last few nights, which is a good sign, I'm told.

Maybe I'll take some pictures of him to post...heaven knows it's been a while since an update.

Just whistling in the dark here, folks. I'm too tired and sore from moving furniture to type...
