sometimes i hate days off

[cornerofmadness]

It leaves me alone with my thoughts. I did manage to get in a long meditation session which helped.

I got the living room looking almost habitable again and less like i should be on Hoarders. It was getting so cluttered I could feel it in my head.

I have a ton of clothing to give away. I'm going to drag it home I think to a church that actually gives it to the poor. It's all in good shape but just older or not fitting right. I have so much clothes thanks to mega sales at Macy's that I'm in a position I've never been in before, too much clothing. I decided this semester to start at one end of the shirts (I don't have all that many pants) and just wear the next one down the line and if I decided I really didn't want to wear it any more, it went on the charity pile so far two sweaters, four shirts and a pair a pants I thought I donated eons ago and found stuffed in the back.

I never did get everything packed for tomorrow. it would be easier to leave on tuesday but i would probably just piss away tomorrow too. The cats are going to the kennel.

The landlord came and fixed the flapper valve on the toilet. I thought it was leaking for weeks now but this week it became obvious that it was truely broken and wasting so much water (which I don't directly pay for but offended me to waste it)

I feel sad. I just read an article on this (it's hormonal sadness) and it was really good. The one thing it suggested was what the Japanese call forest bathing. As little as five minutes in the woods/park etc makes you feel better. This is true. Granted less so now. If I were closer to the city I'd go to the conservancy.

Hey FMA people, here's a question for you so i know whether or not I have to tweak my bigbang a tiny bit. Last night's brotherhood had Ed knowing Olivia killed Raven. I didn't think he knew that in the manga. Does anyone remember if Ed and Al learned that in the manga or not? Thanks


Oddly mom told me today that she loves the idea of a year in pictures. She had one for me. Yesterday one of the neighbors' fields was muddy from all the rain. All the cows were a mess except for one enterprising one who climbed up on the hay stack and was high and dry




yes ELD you know this one. It's off of 35 on the way to Jackson. It wasn't abandoned the first few years I was here.There were lights on in this place this winter even with the hole in the roof. Um...also i need a better pic of this

I WAS GONNA SAY, 'I KNOW THAT HOUSE.'

I want to see J's picture of the cow. If she took one.

Did you see my pics of the elds yet today?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes you know this one

sadly no she had no camera

no

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Drat. I wanna see clean cow.

You'll find them eventually. The elds, that is.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

like wilderider just said you never have the camera when something cool is happening

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Unless you're like adeliedreams and carry a little camera everywhere.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i tried that then i take it out to pull the sd card out to share and forget to put it back in

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Now you're just making me laugh.

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

I just looked through the manga, and I don't think Ed and Al ever do. They leave with Kimbley before ever getting to speak with her again, unless I skipped over something.

I feel you on the "days off leaving you too much time alone in your head" thing.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. that's how i have it in the bigbang, ed NOT knowing (which is key to the whole story)

i'm exploding in my brain again tonight

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine! Enemy says Miles hints at Raven's death, but I think you can still pull it off just fine, if that's a key point.

No exploding! I haven't even looked at mine since I finished it... I wanna let it, I dunno, marinate or something, that way when I get back to it, it's with fresh eyes.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's a minor change if Ed knows.

I don't even have TIME to get back to it. too many damn projects

[enemytosleep]

Miles tells the brothers that Raven is "missing" (he says it twice and emphasizes missing) when Kimblee takes them out to capture Scar (this is right after the chimera fight and before the fake Scar/Winry kidnap). Volume 18. :)

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Ooh, sneaky Miles! Okay, so no one ever *literally* tells Ed! XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you. that's what i need (i own that)

See this is what I thought. This is how i have it written so I don't have to change a thing

[enemytosleep]

In the manga (vol 18 - just looked it up), Ed and Al are sent after Scar by kKimblee (with Winry tagging along and the Briggs men). After they take down some of Kimblee's chimeras, Ed and Al are surprised to see Briggs helping them as they had been told by Kimblee that Armstrong sided with Raven. Miles informs the brothers that "Raven is missing"

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes this sounds much more familiar than what Brotherhood had

next up, looking up whether or not Trisha was Hoho's first/only love. that really makes no sense to me

[enemytosleep]

I think Trisha may have been, though it's too late for me to begin looking that up (first love, not first lover - I can't see a man living the centuries without ever once having done the deed).I think he tried to stay detached form humanity for the most part, but fell in love with her and started a family (against his better judgement). Bob Fish will know.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the anime made it look like ed/al were his only kids, honestly i don't buy it. He surely ahd lovers along the way in time periods where birth control barely existed

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

That's one lonely looking place.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's on the way from my place to where i get my groceries
