There's not much new going on in Laramie. Gordon is in his last week of a three week class. It has been crammed, but not hard. Good thing too! Because I've been leaving him with Miranda A LOT! I've been stuck at work for hours and hours after close everyday. We are SUPER busy. It's driving me crazy! Anyway, Gordon said I should make a post about my new obsession, so I decided to!
A friend of ours let us borrow this japanimation series called Fullmetal Alchemist. At first I thought it was just kinda cute, but now I'm hooked. There are only two seasons and a movie (and I've already seen them ALL), but apparently it is still an ongoing comic in Japan. I told Gordon I will learn Japanese just to read more! LOL It really is a cute story.
Fullmetal Alchemist:
Edward and Alphonse Elric are brothers living in the village of Resembool in the country of Amestris. Their father Hohenheim left home when Edward and Alphonse were still very young. Years later, their mother, Trisha Elric, dies of a terminal illness. After their mother's death, Edward becomes determined to bring her back through the use of alchemy. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are fitted with two sets of automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb.
Edward sets out to become a State Alchemist, enabling him to use the resources available to State Alchemists to discover a way to restore what he and Alphonse had lost. The brothers eventually learn of the Philosopher's Stone and set off in search of it as a means to restore their bodies. Along the way they discover secrets about the Philosopher's Stone they never wanted to know, and find others who seek it as well, doing almost whatever they can to get their hands on it.
