I’ve been sucked into the Fullmetal Alchemist anime series. Basically it’s full of magic that they call science (i.e., “alchemy”) which predictably annoys me, but it’s so cute I can’t resist! Also it is full of war, genocide, torment and despair. So there’s that.
Between my allergies, my stomach pain and my mood disorder(s), I’m taking five different medications at various times of the day. But my allergies are mostly under control, my stomach is mostly pain-free and my moods have mostly improved, so I guess I shouldn’t complain. (I just hate swallowing pills is the thing.)
I’m afraid to watch the movie adaptation of The Hunger Games because I liked each of the books significantly less than the previous one to the point where I just put down the third and final book, and I’m afraid I’ll get sucked back in with the movies and be forced to finally finish the awful, grim, misery-filled third installment.
When I wrote the phrase “it’s full of magic that they call science which predictably annoys me” above, I was thinking of a specific TV series that did the same thing, but I can’t remember what it was called or what it was about. This is really bothering me.
Maybe I’m thinking of Star Trek: Voyager and its hilarious “science-speak” like
“Narrow the confinement beam!”
“I tried that!”
“Well, narrow it some more!”
That would fit.
