So, as you may know, I've been working on catching up on Bleach. I'm making my way through this massive manga slowly but surely.

One thing I found interesting is the way the shinigami refer to their zanpakutou. Instead of using "kore," which means "this thing," they use "koitsu," which means "this person." It reinforces the idea that a zanpakutou ( Read more... )

Finally got back to reading Bleach. It's been months since I've read any of it. Volume 34 has been sitting on my desk for I don't know how long. Geh. I hope I keep up on it. The series is now up to 57 books, and I just now read #34. I have some serious catching up to do.

I was at Kinokuniya the other day, and I saw some Minekura Kazuya artbooks, so ( Read more... )

Valentine's Day has come and gone again. Still single. Although, this year, I didn't get quite so depressed about it. Apparently the new meds my doctor prescribed are working. Yay.

I am kinda depressed, though, that I've rediscovered my love for Saiyuki but don't really have anyone to talk to about it. *sigh*

I need to catch up on the manga. I have ( Read more... )

I've made a list to help me with my New Year's resolution to catch up on all the movies, books, etc. that I've been neglecting for the past few years. The following is a list of all the titles that I have (for whatever length of time), but have yet to watch, read, etc. I'm not going to do this in any particular order. I've just arranged everything ( Read more... )

Guh. The year is half over already. Where is the time going? Before we know it, it'll be Christmas again. >_<

I forgot to mention that on my last trip to Kinokuniya, I bought a book called Darth Vader and Son. It's a little book with colored-pencil drawings of Darth Vader and four-year-old Luke doing father-son things like going to the zoo and ( Read more... )

1. I've been ignoring my LJ for the past month, except for the weekly language posts. However, said language posts have gotten a few comments recently, so at least I know people are reading them. Yay.

2. My sister and I went to the Rammstein concert at the Tacoma Dome on the 14th. It was awwwwwsooooome. I might write a detailed review of it like I ( Read more... )

It's the middle of the night and I'm wide awake. Yar.

I recently got some teeth-clenching spoilers about recent chapters of Bleach, and I'm torn. I don't know if I want to wait until I read that far (which is waaaaay ahead of where I am currently) or if I want to find scanslations/chapter summaries. My spoiler allergy isn't as severe as it used to ( Read more... )

Not much has happened since I disappeared for a few weeks, so I'll update in list form.

--Stabbed myself at work. Someone left a broken glass jar in a cart of abandons and didn't tell me about it, so I found it the hard way. It hurt like hell.

--Been replaying Dissidia lately. (I don't have the new one yet, but I will soon.) If you're playing as ( Read more... )

Just recently read five volumes of Bleach (#8-#12). Some thoughts:

1. I'm finding I prefer the shinigami characters to the human characters. They're much more interesting to me.

2. Ichigo is way overpowered. This 15-year-old kid accidentally acquires a shinigami's powers, and then all of a sudden he's way more powerful than the shinigami whose ( Read more... )

I had a rather successful trip to Chinatown yesterday. This is what I got:

--Fullmetal Alchemist #12
--Saiyuki Reload #10
--DNAngel #15
--Bleach #8, #9, #11, & #12
--Maneki neko figurine
--Maneki neko chopsticks
--Maneki neko chopstick rest
--Four boxes of Hello Panda cookies

The people at Kinokuniya special ordered DNA #14 and Bleach #10 for me, 'cause ( Read more... )
