So let's talk about the final FMA episode

And also: score!!

Tuesdays are time service days at the local grocery, which means that the prices on the food I'd most like to eat are marked down to levels approaching what one would pay in the west on a bad day. As such, I try to do all my grocery shopping on Tuesdays. If one spends enough money, one can spin the lottery wheel at the checkout and win such desirable prizes as tissues or promotional Kirin glasses too small to take a shot out of.

Last Tuesday I spun the lottery wheel and walked away with something very much worthwhile - a Howl's Moving Castle shitajiki. I was just tickled, and the lottery ladies were highly amused by my reaction. (It's one of my favorite books in English, I told them. They smiled.)

Yesterday I happened to wander into my neighborhood Lawsons, where I discovered that they are handing out Howl's Moving Castle promotional posters. These things are big - they're actually three posters in one, depending on how one unfolds the eight A4-size panels. Needless to say, I grabbed several like the rabid DWJ/Ghibli fangirl I am and they are currently adorning the walls in my apartment. I am quite pleased.

Incidentally, the movie opens on the 20th of next month; I can't wait.

In small ways, life is very good.
