Started looking at hotels for ai-kon (July 24-26) and so far, the Delta is the forerunner for the winner. It's connected to the convention center, has a sushi bar and a Japanese garden in addition to all those other hotel things like pool, hot tub, sauna, gym, etc. Puts me in good spirits at least.
Bleh, breakfast time. Hopefully I'll update this a bit later but don't count on it. Sorry :(
I turn up the trouble 'till it gets real loud I feel so much better that way I'm gonna mess with your mind, cause I know that I can See how much I can mess with you, yeaaaaaah!
I'm gonna rock, gonna roll, gonna go toe to toe Drop like a clock, now I'm out of control Step a little closer, close to my fire Trouble's my drug, takes me higher and higher Turn up the music, light up the crowd Turn up the gas, cause it can't be too loud You know it's religion, and I'll show you the way Drop to your knees and join when I say...

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here, but I still choose to believe in its principle, that all things do come at a price, that there's an ebb and a flow, a cycle, that the pain we went through did have a reward, and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me. A promise that, someday, we'll see each other again.
