Sugar free jelly beans are the work of the devil.

I should have known that no Jelly Belly jellybean could really be sugar free, tasty, and without consequence. I should have realized that 35 jelly beans for 80 calories was too good to be true without a hideous, hideous catch.

I was a fool.

I ate 35 jelly beans last night. They were really chewy and without much flavor other than sugar. But that was okay. They were okay. This morning, I had 35 more before church. Bad move. I realized afterwards that those 80 calories must all be from fiber. These jelly beans actually had more fiber than a serving of baked beans. Within a half hour, my already slightly bloated (from soup yesterday) self had inflated like a balloon. Excuse the nastiness, but I have done nothing but fart all day. I looked almost pregnant at the worst of it. My thighs are swollen and jiggly, rubbing together sometimes when I walk (which makes me PANIC and I’m not sure why). I am riddled with awful stomach pains.

Gah. As for these deceptive little beans,

I’ll take the real stuff next time, thanks.

Kamui does not approve!

God, that was awful.

The ending of the X anime, I mean. The manag has no ending, but the pile of steaming sugar coated crap I just sat through… It makes me feel ill. Spoiler warning.

There was so little development of Kamui. I wouldn’t have cared at all if not for the manga, and honestly his long melodramatic death speech sapped my enthusiasm for his character. Manga Kamui would kick his ass. Then Tsubasa Kamui would disembowel him and use his inards to festoon a Christmas tree or something. Seriously. He was just annoying and angsty. And Subaru… wow, he was almost as bad. At least in the manag he continued to be badass, as opposed to “Oh gee golly, a cherry blossom. I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep now.” Gah.

So in honor of this hideous ending, I hereby introduce Kamui’s seal of approval/disapproval. In this case,

KAMUI DOES NOT APPROVE

Beware Kamui’s disapproval and relish in his esteem.
