I Give it 100% Support

I've been meaning to tell y'all, anyone looking for a fantastic show to watch, or one you should watch regardless of your searching or lack thereof is Fullmetal Alchemist-Brotherhood.

Now anyone who knows me well knows I'm not a huge fan of anime shows. 
Most of them annoy me.
But this one is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

You can find all the episodes on youtube or free on Hulu.
Only the first 6 episodes are in English, the rest are subtitled, but I found it to be no loss to the show.
actually after watching a few clips of the English version, I prefer the Japanese version. 

It's an amazing story line with great characters.
I give it five stars and if it were a book series I would own it all.
As it is I still want to own the the disk versions for myself eventually. 

The episodes are about 23 minutes each, though they are short, beware.
It IS addicting.
So I wouldn't start the show unless you have a good bit of free time.

But if you want, here is the link to the show. 
I was going to post the first episode on here, but it won't let me because it's too long or something.
Dumb.
But there is the link for the youtube version and here is the link for the Hulu version. 
Seriously go watch it.

I promise you won't regret it.
Or at the very least for my sake, watch the first episode or two.
If you're not hooked there is something wrong with you.......just kidding....

It's about two young brothers that do the taboo in their magical society and try to do human transmutation to bring their mother back to life.
What happens however is not what they bargained for, losing more than just their mom.
This sets in them a quest to gain what they lost, but in the midst of their journey they meet new friends and foes as well as uncover secrets that throw them into an adventure they didn't bargain for.
At such a young age these boys experience things most adults never would forcing them to grow up and change in ways they did not expect. 

Sorry I'm not great at writing hooks, but hopefully that's enough to get you started. 
I hope you enjoy it, because I did.
It's now among my top 3 favorite shows.



ENJOY =D =D =D =D

Television

Sooo..........I'm going back and forth between American Idol and the Olympics on tv and thinking about how weird commercials are. There are a few I enjoy right now, like the one with the doctors running out on the field with fireworks. It is the coolest thing!!! Anyways commercials are either one of two things, either so cool that you go tell yours friends about the greatest toilet paper commercial or so dumb that you whine about people talking to their mops and brooms. It is strange what makes a commercial good and what makes it lame. Stick a squirrel in it, it's good. Try awesome humor, it is just flat dumb. It's the odd things that seem to catch the appeal of the viewers, such as people hitting small animals, animals playing patty cake, or old men break dancing outside of buses. Often I turn on the tv just to watch commercials, half the time they are more interesting than the reality shows where Brenda is crying b/c she made a cake for a bachelor and he didn't like her. Though there are 50 others girls trying to get him and she can't even complete a sentence....hmm.....exactly. We much rather watch the squirrels. Now occasionally a few shows could catch the eye of audiences, like where a whole episode is dedicated to splashing slushies in peoples' faces. As if every teenager in high school drinks slushies daily, but it makes you wanna try it. (Please don't try this at school). Shows are either meant to makes us feel better about our lives or laugh a lot so we burn calories and forget about our problems. But next time you are watching tv, think about why you like the show or commercials.

get up and run,
