Listening to: "Twelve Days of Christmas" stuck in my head

Whew! Looks like things are finally settling down around here -- and about dang time, I say! XD Just a couple finals to study up for (Western Civ this weekend, Biology next Tuesday), and one of them I'm more worried about than the other (*tentatively points to the former subject*). But otherwise...the semester's just about wrapped up. YAY, free time!

In other news (and more relevant to the above title)...it seems as though I've been recently bit by the Fullmetal Alchemist bug. BADLY. Heh. Which is kinda odd, since I'm not that much of an anime fan otherwise (with the exception of Miyazaki's work). But FMA...honestly, it's hard for me to pin down any one reason. There's just something so intrinsically compelling to me about it that I've grown to absolutely adore, and...well, I find that I can no longer resist. I've only seen a handful of episodes, but so far, so very, VERY good. A nice sense of humor, well-done drama/angst, fully fleshed-out secondary characters, a wonderful brotherly relationship at the center...yup. I'm definitely, inequivocally hooked.

Edward and Alphonse? They rock. Especially Edward. And, yeah, I've got some FMA fanart on the way. *swipes at muse* Bah. Making me tinker with Photoshop when I was supposed to be studying/completing projects... *grumblegrumble*

Anywho...how is everyone? I hope things are going well.

And in case I don't get the chance to say this later: Happy Holidays, all!

P.S. My mom just got a jury summons in the mail. o_____O;; It's only a matter of time before my first one turns up...
