Christmas in May

[ewein2412]

Tim's back from his week in California at the big games trade fair, E3. And this is what he brought home for me: Saiyuki vols. 1-7, Angel Sanctuary 5-7, Descendants of Darkness 3 and 4, Fullmetal Alchemist 1, and the FMA DVDS 1 and 2. WOW. Good bye brain cells E Wein!

He went flying while he was there (at a quarter the hourly rate it is here)--got checked out and hired a Cessna 172 and took off for Catalina. I just saw the pictures and I am SO impressed... How can this man fly over sea fog, talk to ten different ATCs, and TAKE PICTURES AT THE SAME TIME??? He had this bizarre picture of a sort of whirlpool in the fog, a hole in the cloud below him with clear blue water below that. And of course, pictures directly overhead LAX, because it's uncontrolled airspace if you fly straight overhead at 3000 feet (or something like that... don't quote me).

Meanwhile, I discovered he'd installed some WWII combat flight simulator on the upstairs computer, and I'm so clueless at the controls that I can't even fly straight and level ("Your right wing has been strafed. You have lost your rudder. You have taken a direct hit on your engine." etc). I managed to turn on the oxygen before the screen went black, however.

Wow-- no one's ever called me bewitching and sexually ambiguous before! Scarysmart, yes...

By the way Saiyuki # 8, which has some of the best moments of the entire series, just came out.

In the case of both FMA and Descendants of Darkness, I prefer the anime to the manga.

PS. Have you read Clover yet?

[ewein2412]

I got that impression re the anime/manga from coffee_and_ink, too. Haven't read Clover yet.

Argh, I need to see a lot more FMA...have only seen a few episodes, but they haunt my brain.

I remain, at the time of this posting, an FMA virgin.
