I think that my web access has returned to some form of stability again. I have no idea why it was failing and getting a busy signal when I called the 1-800 number for tech support was not encouraging. Watching my cable modem seemingly reboot itself was the definition of frustration for more than a few days. I am hoping that that is behind me now.
I watched another episode of the anime series Bleach and I am not sure if I want to see more of it or not. I am sensing a trend of one fight after another. There may have been fighting in Full Metal Alchemist, but I cared more about what happened to Ed and Al than seeing them fight someone. The two of them grew as people and came to understand their father better. I need character development otherwise I feel as though I am wasting my time.
For the first time in fifteen years, I played chess last night. Actually I played two different games against different people at the same time. I lost one match, but the other was a draw. Both of them taught me something about the game and I might start to play on more of a regular basis.
