Hey, shrift. You're an FMA junkie, right?

Yes, I am!

Are the DVDs set up funny?

I don't think so -- FMA does a lot of narrative time-jumping, and I'm pretty sure that's how the episodes aired. (Edit: I'll have to check my fan-subtitled Japanese eps at home to be sure.) In the first couple of episodes, Ed and Al are in the desert, and it's basically present day. And then they jump back in time to show how Ed and Al lost their mother and various body parts, traveled to Central City, and how Ed became an alchemist. After that, it sort of eases back into present day again. Eventually the show fills in all the time gaps.

Did that make sense? I hope it made sense. I'll be over here making out with Roy Mustang.

Operation Egg Roll is a success.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks shrift. I missed where they cued that jump back. I'm crushing on the guy who's just had the baby, but only when he's all business.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay! Our new furniture is here! Guess we'll be spending part of this weekend rearranging and putting away stuff..

On the down side, I seem to have a bit of a cold.(Probably the same cold that my nephlets had when we were in Florida)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm obsessed with Google SMS.

And I think msbelle is looking for [link]

I don't know from dating more than one person at a time. My impression is that usually you just drift away after a couple dates if it's not going anywhere, though.

Colds aren't fun, but at least it's not the flu. According to the radio, there's been a nasty stomach virus floating around the Chicago area for the past couple of weeks--it'll keep you in the bathroom for 6-8 hours, leave you weak for a day or two, and then you're all right again. I had a similar bug Thanksgiving weekend ten years ago, and it was not a fun holiday.

You know, I used to think that site was Cute Overlord. Not that I've ever visited it, though.

My impression is that usually you just drift away after a couple dates if it's not going anywhere, though.

How does one person just drift away though? I'm so clueless about this stuff. It just seems that once you've gone on real dates, if one of you is presented with a reason to call it off that the other person doesn't know about, you have to make some excuse. It's not just that it's not going anywhere -- it's that you'd rather go there with the other person.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You can tell someone things aren't working for you, without saying why.
