Personal Note: Things are looking up!

We survived the first Triduum service yesterday evening, and this morning I woke up to episode 1 of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, legally available in the U.S. practically on top of its Japanese release. If this is the future, I like it. ( Some opinions under the cut ... )

Of course, the very next thing I encountered was a weather report, confirming that we're going to have rain this afternoon. Rats. We've got a leak in the choir loft that drips ugly, sticky, reddish glop in wet weather; also a window that won't shut and blows damp breezes right down my neck. I guess we'll just have to offer it up, as my mother would say.
