Adult Swim tonight

FMA Ep II - Body of the Sanctioned. SPOILER ALERT. Ed and Alphonse confront Cornello, the high priest using the Philosopher's Stone to create "miracles". Ed and Alphonse need the Philosopher's Stone to fix their bodies. But how can they fight a man who can bring the dead to life? Good writing. Again, I'm impressed by the voice acting for the series. I'm used to everyone's voice being kind of the same in dubbed animé no matter what series it is, and this has been a pleasant surprise to see the voices changed up. Today's moral: walk on your own two legs. Notable lack of Major Hughes, which will eventually become a permanent lack of Major Hughes. My favorite character, but don't get too attached. Also, they seem to have gone with the second opening theme, "Ready Steady Go", by L'Arc en Ciel, not the original opening, but they're going with the first ending theme. (sigh - I would've preferred the first opening and the second closing, but whatever - Ready Steady Go is a pretty good song).

GitS:SAC Ep II - SPOILER ALERT. Batou gives his Tachikoma natural oil. This will eventually freak everyone in Public Peace Section Nine out. Also, it will wind up saving Batou's life. In the meantime, the team has to stop a tank running amok with no pilot. Or at least, no living pilot...! Skating tanks with high pitched schoolgirl voices. One honkin' huge sniper rifle. Good tunes. Glue-shooting bazookas. Aramaki rules. And once again, the lesson for today is... thou shalt not screw with "The Major".

Ah, the joys of late night Cartoon Network. I'm tired, but I've got a bunch of cookies to make for Primary in the morning. Courtney's Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mmmmmmmm. Reeta reminded me what an eventful week this has been newswise. Fallujah. Arafat. Scott Peterson. Ashcroft. Local problem situations are wrapping up nicely. Christmas shopping continues apace. Claire and I went to the Incredibles again, just as good the second time. Pokédex sitting at 94 Pokémon seen, 50 captured or owned. 4 badges. Review of law school topics is commencing. In other news, I just found out that everyone coming for Thanksgiving is planning on staying here, giving rise to some minor logistical problems. And my quest for a milk steamer continues. I don't drink coffee, but hot, steamed, vanilla milk? Bring. It. On. WIth a little whipped cream. That can't be healthy for the body, but it's sure good for the soul.

Tomorrow night, Seafood chowder, and Reeta is going all out. She got shrimp, scallops, imitation shrimp and lobster, and heavy cream. Envy Me!
