Hurry Xmas! Two words I think most everyone is thinking these days. After all, Christmas is such a great time of year. Spending time with family and friends, playing the snow (well that hasn't happened in a long time, dueto the lack of snow surprisingly) and of course the dozens of gifts under the Christmas Tree. However, Christmas has a habit of coming early at times. Bringing with it some neat gifts that seem to lead to even more excitement of the already long anticipated morning of December 25th. This is one of those years but what did I get exactly?

Well to begin, this past Wednesday I finallygot my hands onthe Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 1 manga, along with Vol. 11. Finally! Finally, I can read the Fullmetal Alchemist manga from beginning to end! Of course, Vol. 12 onwards I'll buy when I can or when I finish reading. Which might take me a while since I'm in the middle of reading the first FMA novel and The Joy Luck Club for school. But that doesn't matter much because I finally have Volume 1. As for the two novels, so far both have been good to say the least but there's much more besdies books

Today will be my first full day as new leader of The Legend of Zelda Union! I cannot wait to get started on everything I have planned, which isn't a great deal but I will make sure the Legend of Zelda Union will continue its greatness under my wing. I'd like to thank Gary for his decision to promote me. So in other words, Edward Elric is leader of The Legend of Zelda Union. Kind of an interestingcombination there, no? And in other Gamespot news, November 19th, the launch day of the Wii makred my one year anniversery here on GameSpot.

Moving on, I have obtained L'Arc~en~Ciel's new album, titled "KISS" and it's absolutely fantastic! I'm a huge fan of L'Arc~en~Ciel and have heard many of their songs and have several albums. "My Heart Draws a Dream", "Daybreak's Bell" - of Gundam 00, "Link -KISS mix-" - it's a slight remix of "Link", the opening theme for Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa, and the slight change makes it slightly better than the original are some of my favourites. Then there's their latest single... which was also the last song on the album. It's called "Hurry Xmas". It's an awesome song that is much different from a typical J-Rock song and is instead more of a Christmas theme.

Thanks to YouTube.com, you can check it out HERE! I hope you like the song as much as I do. And even if you don't we can at least agree on one thing; for Christmas to come as quickly as possible! As you can see from the picture above, Haruhi's got the right idea! It's too bad she isn't the one breaking into my house, taking away my precious cookies and milk. Hmmm, I wonder if she has my copies of Phantom Hourglass and Mario Galaxy in that bag. ^_^
