Right, so...

After a sleepless night with the laptop being a bitch, and doing a fifth attempt this morning, now Soel has been upgraded to Ubuntu 6.06! Hey, look, and I had no need to twist things up for the graphics card to work!

So Dapper Drake has been pwned... sort of. I still can't get Linux to do things like I'd like it to since all the software and codecs and stuff can only be gotten from repositories. And since there's no wi-fi connection here, I don't even know if the laptop can even access the Internet, let along downloading upgrades.

Same old same old. Let us play mahjong solitaire, then.

Meanwhile, considering the manga keeps it going about characters I don't give a fuck about, and the anime fillers seem to be too cracktacular for me, I'm pulling the plug for Bleach. Well, not *entirely*, but I've defriended all Bleach comms and took my Bleach icons off. The series is boring me too much right now.

It's amazing, but not even Urahara can save it (this week's chapter, I skimmed through the summary, and seeing Urahara in there did nothing for me.)

Heck, I think not even the Ishidas returning permanently won't make me like that testosterone mess Kubo is making.

I agree on the Bleach thing. It became so boring and there were so many new characters that I just couldn't continue on reading . There are a lot of new chapters I haven't read, and I doubt I will, really.

The only thing I hate/d is/was seeing it everywhere, on layouts, icons, communities, whatever. Jesus, it's irritating. Dunno if the Bleachmania is still so big than before, I left the fandom ages ago and I don't care about it anymore. With Naruto happened the same. Both are so bleh.

I don't understand the fascination with the new characters and the awful shounen-cliche plot devices. Even the characterization of the regular cast is so blah now.

The series was so good until the Soul Society arc ended. Hell, I'm not even buying the manga now because I don't want to stop the collection in half the story. And that makes me sad.

So true. If the manga is like that now, I can imagine the trash the anime is with all the fillers. I personally don't like the new characters too. They are omgsocool for me.

For me, the series ended with the Soul Society arc. Good plot, nice characters, it even had me waiting anxiously for the Wednesday to arrive because it's more or less the day the raws are out. It would have been great if Tite just stopped the manga after SS, but the fans would have gone insane and then, disaster would have happened. My brother is buying the manga, and I told him that personally I wouldn't buy it for the same reason as you. and well, also because NANA and Ouran are published and I want to spend my money better on those two.

I think he could've killed Aizen and make a closure after the SS arc. Shounen manga tends to get bad if it's too long.

Ooh, will you lend me Ouran some day? I'm too broke to buy it D:

True. Besides, I don't like Aizen. I think he's pretty boring. Look at me, now I'm evil and a bishounen! Buu.

Oh my, House icon ♥. And also I forgot telling you, but your Kyon icon rocks. Suzumiya Haruhi is with Ouran, the best series of this season.

But of course woman! No need to ask ^^

He doesn't even scare me. You know who scares me? Mayuri. Now THAT would be a creepy and sly antagonist.

I find Suzumiya a little bit too overrated, but I enjoy it greatly. Not as a cult thing, but as a cracky thing. And I lust for Kyon.

Thank you X33333
