Ah Saturday

Spending my last free days as I please. Sleeping unusually late - as I stayed up unusually late talking to Chu - eating breakfast together and then heading to town to do some shopping. As planned, I bought some shoes: first a pair was Josef Seibel's "European comfort shoes", a pair of extremely comfortable red leather mules. Second pair was from John Fluevog, a Vancouverite shoe company - they make extremely innovative and sometimes outright strange shoes.

Then it was back home to the couch to watch the rest of the Fullmetal Alchemist, as the final DVD arrived at last. The last eight episodes were as good as the rest of the series, and even offered some unexpected surprises. Only the subs in the last episode were atrocious, and I mean absolutely unbelievably bad. Not only was the English almost totally incomprehensible, this guy hadn't even bothered to check even the names of the central characters - instead he had tried to guess the names and ended up getting every single one increbily wrong (like "Anne" instead "Al" jeez!). I then downloaded the episode with fan-subs and we watched it again, this time getting some sense out of it. But I'll let the fanboy write more about the series later.
