bleach eureka seven

Rather than going to bed immediately after work yesterday morning, I spent some time on the couch watching some anime.  On my DVR list of recorded programs, I had three episodes of Bleach and two episodes of Eureka 7 as viewing options.  I decided to start with Bleach and move on to Eureka afterwards if I did not get too tired.

Now having seen some more of Bleach, I have to admit that it is starting to grow on me.  Then again I probably should not have jumped to a conclusion about a series that has over a hundred episodes after seeing merely two of them.  Yes, there are long fight sequences in Bleach, but there does seem to more story and characterization than what I saw in the other two episodes.

Lately I have been contemplating canceling my Netflix subscription.  I like the service and the new unlimited streaming option is nice, but at the same time, I have to realize that I can watch a large quantity of anime online for free.  Anime makes up a third of my viewing queue.  The other two thirds are foreign films and documentaries.  So with that in mind, I start to ask myself are foreign films and documentaries enough to keep the subscription?  Maybe I am coming at it from the wrong angle.

February has gotten off to a great start on the exercise front and I want that trend to continue for the remainder of the month.

The Killers are still in heavy rotation for me and I think to myself why I always seem to be a few years behind the wave of what is good when it comes to music.  I guess that that is another sign of me getting old.  Plus I no longer feel the need to buy as music as I did when I was in my twenties.  What I also find interesting is that when I look at the music portion of my Amazon wish list, half of what is there is classical music.  With a mere two years of piano lessons twenty years ago, I can not say that I fully understand music, but I find the lure of classical music to be more than soothing.
