Before anyone says anything, let me answer the burning question on everyone's mind.

IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE RUSSIA FROM SARAH PALIN'S HOUSE.

However, it is possible to see Russia from other areas of Alaska. (I did not actually see Russia since we mostly stayed in the middle of the state, but, as told by an Alaskan native, from some of the small islands surrounding the state, it is very easy to see the country.)

I got back ridiculously early this morning. The plane landed at 5:20 AM. I am a college student. My body was not built to function any time before noon. Therefore, I'm cranky, feel like I haven't showered for days, and would seriously murder someone for some Starbucks right about now.

Other than that, the trip was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of wildlife and really great views. Alaska kinda looks like Switzerland, so I was able to compare the two places because of my trip to Europe last summer. I might have some photos for you all, but my mom is overly protective of her camera these days. D8

Ugh, sorry, I don't feel much like talking about my vacation right now. I'd rather talk about manga. 8D

Naruto Chapter 455

-Last chapter, we met the other Kages. Tsuchikage makes me LOL. Mizukage is the Boa Hancock of "Naruto." Raikage is too badass to use a door, that bitchmaster. Kazekage is sexy. Hokage is a bastard.
-This is so sad. The main village of this manga is the most uncool of the five. D8
-Naruto got the shit beat outta him by a Karui. THIS BITCH IS TOO COOL TO BE IN THIS MANGA.
-Danzou is looking to assassinate Anko. F*** YOU, DANZOU. Jessica Rabbit will have to smack a bitch.
GETTING TO THIS WEEK'S CHAPTER NOW...
-The two ROOT members acting as Danzou's bodyguards are creepy. I don't like them. Sai's hotter.
-You don't think Sai will betray you, Danzou? Yeah, that's what Alice thought about the Cheshire Cat. *shakes head*
-Danzou wants to put a collar and leash on Naruto *COUGH*because he's a kinky bastard*COUGH* so the Nine-Tailed Fox won't leave the village now that the seal has been broken.
-Ugh, Karui really did a number on Naruto.
-Sai stops her punches on Naruto. Do I really need to say how much squealed?
-PAGE 6. OH, FOR THE LOVE OF JASHIN, PAGE F***ING SIX. Oh God, Sai, your expression nearly made me orgasm, seriously. THAT'S BOYFRIEND PROTECTING FOR YOU. 8D
-Sai: Sasuke has done nothing but hurt you. That's why you should devote yourself entirely to me. I'll protect you, cherish you, and love you...even if you lack penis. That's no big deal anymore. *Inner Sai: Haha..."no big deal." OMG, I crack myself up."*
-Karui thinks she's going to hit Sai, too, but Omoi stops her. (Seriously, Karui, I totally adore you, but I gotta draw the line at you punching Sai. Sakura did that...ONCE.)
-Omoi is a Naruto fanboy.
-Samui is a classy bitch.
-Village people think Naruto should be the Hokage! I APPROVE OF THIS IDEA.
-Naruto demands to see the Raikage. Somehow, I see more beatings in this boy's future...
-Sai wraps Naruto's bandages. MALE BONDING, D'AWW.
-I feel bad for the guy though. It must be tough to be him. He was meant to be nothing more than a spy for Danzou's dirty work in the beginning, and now he's acting as Sasuke's replacement. Yet again, I think that, deep down, Sai knows he can never replace Sasuke, and it hurts him to realize that. See how he was in the flashback on Page 11? I think that, while he says he'll do anything to help Naruto and Sakura, he's secretly trying to sever their bond. That would make things so much easier for everyone, like it would be so easy to say, "Get rid of Sasuke!" No one would object. Poor Sai wants to be part of the group with Naruto and Sakura, I know it. He really wants to stay with them and be friends forever. Guh, I love this guy more and more with every passing chapter. *cuddles Sai plushie*
-Naruto explains why he needs to see the Raikage. Oh yeah, because convincing the bitchmaster whose little brother was taken away by your ex-boyfriend to forgive said ex-boyfriend is a great plan.
-Naruto reveals that he met Yondy-Daddy.
-Tobi was behind the Fox attack 16 years ago.
-Tobi: JUST AS PLANNED. >8D
-I still haven't given up on the idea that Madara is possessing Obito's body. Just sayin'...
-Kakashi is determined to help because he had a near-death talk with his daddy, too.
-Page 16 makes me very happy.
-So Hokage Bastard is walking along all happily until some fodder nins try to kill him. I'm for the fodder nins on this one.
-Blah, blah, blah, I'll fight, blah, blah, blah.
-Wait a second...
-DANZOU. SHARINGAN. MINDF***.

Soul Eater 63

-D'aww, Kim and Jackie are so cute.
-And they're FLYING~!! 8D
-Wait a second, we don't even get to see Soul become a Death Scythe? WHAT. THE. HELL. D8
-Arachne was good for something at least. ^^
-Maka's gonna be an angel!! Soul is skeptical.
-I really love Soul and all, but that headband is very distracting.
-Maka wants Soul, not Spirit, to call her an angel. THESE TWO ARE SO DAMN CANON.
-Controlling soul wavelengths and women. That's a resume for you.
-God, I love the poses for characters during dramatic moments in this manga. Between making an entrance and starting up an attack, other manga-ka should take notes from Atsushi-sensei.
-Looks like Soul's weapon form got a little makeover~
-Soul and Maka start to synchronize and actually lift up off the ground! Cool!
-Spirit then tells Soul to image Maka as an angel, and the cool guy starts thinking of Maka during that time of the month. Stupid. No wonder it didn't work.
-IT'S ALWAYS YOUR FAULT, SOUL. >D
-Maka wishes she was partnered with Ox? Oh, that's saying something...
-Soul needs lessons on being romantic.
-Stein/Star sparring! *sells tickets*
-But it would be better if the two were shirtless.
-PATTY IS A HOMICIDAL NUTCASE. But that's exactly why we love her.
-Meanwhile, Tsubaki babysits at the Daycare Edition of Shibusen.
-Shinigami-sama!
-Tracking Justin is serious business.
-I don't understand why Shinigami-sama isn't a little bit more worried about Kid. Last time I checked, Kid was his only child. *shrugs*
-Ooooo, pretty stained glass.
-PAGE 25, PANEL 1. SEXY KID ALERT.
-While inside the Book of Eibon, Kid wasn't trying to steal information, spy on the group, or figure out a way to escape. No, he was ARRANGING THE BOOKMARKS. *facepalm* Kid...oh, Kid, you know I adore you the way Sai adores Naruto, but this is too much...
-Gopher is Noah's bitch.
-Justin/Giriko. I can feel the UST through the Interwebs.
-I want Justin's headphones, too, Kid. They're cool.
-Gopher goes off to "make plans..."
-AND THE KID/MAKA FANS GO WILD!! *boos in the background*
-Spirit has some important information for his daughter and future son-in-law. Dunno what it is. *shrugs*
-Told you Gopher was Noah's bitch.


No "One Piece" this week. Don't feel like reporting on "Bleach" again.
