Mini Haul

:D I haven't had a haul in a looooong time. So yesterday, I went out with my mom to return some shirts and ended up getting a few things myself.

I got a blazer from Nordstrom, an adorable red dress from Forever 21 that's not up on the site yet so I can't link to it... :( and a reeeeally pretty MAC eye makeup kit in Tartan Tale. Then, last night I went out to dinner last night with my grandma, mom, dad, and sis. The pizza we had was SO GOOD. ^^

And now I have a cold. :P

ARW: Fullmetal Alchemist & Update

Another anime review of the week! This week I'm reviewing Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. 


Fullmetal Alchemist is about a fifteen year old boy, Edward Elric, and his fourteen year old brother, Alphonse Elric, who go to find a sorcerer's stone to get their bodies back. In the process of attempting human transmutation, which is a taboo in alchemy, Edward lost his right leg, and Alphonse lost his whole body. Edward then sacrifices his arm to bond his brother's soul to a suit of armor. A few years later, they join the military as state dogs to go on as alchemists to get their bodies back.

I personally liked this anime, and I know a lot of other people do too... but it's kinda mature and pretty gory. (Don't watch it if you don't like seeing half-dead people turned inside out and backwards.) Ed does have a cussing issue, and then some of the homunculus are kinda gross (I'm mostly referring to Wrath, Envy, and Gluttony) so I really would not recommend watching this if you have a weak stomach.

Out of ten stars, I give this anime six stars. It wasn't my favorite anime, but it also wasn't the worst. And sorry to say, but Vic Mignogna made Ed sound too squeaky. I liked the sub better.

*********************************

My update... well...

Let's start with this: Paris is canceled due to lack of people signing up. We needed eighty, and we got fifty, and half of the fifty was "maybes." Bummer.

Four day weekend! Whoooo! But I don't get out of allergy treatments or piano class. :P Darn. Oh well, I'm getting pretty far along with piano... I'm playing Jacob's Theme from Eclipse, Where are you Christmas from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Greensleves. I love all of these songs very much. And then with NAET... I'm not getting very far. I'm the actual mystery. They can't figure out why I still can't taste or smell anything (It's been over a year since I last tasted or smelled anything) so it's been a little hard... :(

That's it for now. Not much has been happening lately...

ARW Kuroshitsuji

AR=Anime Review of the Week! Yuppers, I've got my own special thing that I'll do weekly. ;D This week I'm doing one on my own favorite anime, Kuroshitsuji.

Kuroshitsuji (or Black Butler) is about a 12 year old boy (Ciel Phantomhive) who makes a contract with a demon butler (Sebastian Michaelis) so he can avenge his parent's deaths.

*Complete Plot:*
12-year-old (13-year-old as of chapter 14) Ciel Phantomhive is the current head of the English Phantomhive noble family and the Funtom toy and confectionery company. Under his lead, the company grew into a major corporation. Ciel is tasked with solving problems plaguing London under Queen Victoria's orders. He is helped by Sebastian Michaelis, a demon bound to Ciel's will by a contract. Sebastian serves as the Phantomhive butler. Until the terms of their contract are met, Sebastian must keep Ciel alive.

So out of ten stars, I rate this anime 9.99 stars. Why only 9.99? Because nothing is perfect, not even anime. Or really hot demon butlers. I would definitely recommend this anime to anyone who needs something to watch. (I didn't know this, but they made a musical out of it!!! 8D) Right now it's only an English dub, but they're already making it into a sub.
