(no subject)

Well, I was finally ready to take the plunge and reserve my spot on the PJT  "Endless Summer" tour.  Had my vacation time all approved, plenty of room on the credit card to handle the fees, went to the website to make my reservation.... and suddenly the company is "on hiatus".  

*Sigh.*

In other news - it was a pretty good anime meetup the other night.  Had a good turnout, and I actually stayed awake for this one.  The last couple before that caught me on cranky, tired days and I wasn't really in the mood for hours and hours of anime fun.  

The Bleach episodes this time didn't even make me want to gouge my eyes out, so that's a tremendous improvement.  :)  But I still don't get what people see in this show.  I'm not anti-shonen by any means.  One Piece is my own true love, and I can even fathom some of Naruto's insane popularity.  But Bleach just feels so hollow and paint-by-numbers to me.  There's no real spark behind any of the characters.  Blah.   (errrr... that "hollow" thing wasn't originally intentional, but I confess to being amused at my own funny when I noticed it.  ;-) )

(Speaking of One Piece, big smooches to Funimation for the licensing news!)
