I had a somewhat rough day at work, but I don't want to get into it right now. I'm trying to put it behind me.

The wedding we went to was nice. The bride looked lovely. The four of us (mom and I and two friends) sat together and were basically being catty bitches the majority of the time. So it was basically the same as always.

We weren't able to leave until 9:00 in the evening. We had wanted to leave earlier, but we didn't want to be caught. We had to drive 1 1/2 hours in the dark, and mom can't handle driving at night much anymore, especially on the freeway. But we listened to Cecelia on the way home, so that was fun.

Sunday we went to church and then went to lunch with our wedding compadres and chatted more. It's too bad we can't get together more because we have such fun together. But one lives in North Carolina and the other in Bradenton.

The Emmy's were last night. Surprise surprise The Sopranos won. I was only semi-focused on the telecast since I was busy mainlining Bleach chapters.

Speaking of which:

I've been searching for the chapters that start after the Soul Society Arc (since that's where we are in the official releases). It took some searching, but I was able to find what I was looking for.

I skipped the whole "Vizards" thing and started in on the Arrancar Arc. And I must say, chapter 195 is my favorite. We see a crew of shinigami in school uniforms since they're undercover in the human world due to the Arrancars. We have Rangiku busting out of hers and Hitsugaya looking like an elementary school boy. *titters* The look of disgust on his face as he's thinking, "I can't believe I'm here with these bunch of idiots" was priceless.

And Rukia shows up again to knock some sense into Ichigo. *giggles* And he looked happy to see her, too.

I liked how they decided on the sleeping arrangements. Rangiku stays with Orihime (along with a reluctant Hitsugaya). That's a lot of mammaries in one spot. Renji goes to Urahara's in order to have "words" with him in regards to his (unintentional) role in Rukia's execution. And Rukia staying with Ichigo (which is how it should be *ahem*).

Orihime gets on my nerves sometimes though. I mean, I like her when she's acting herself pretty much, but once she starts pining over Ichigo, I get annoyed. I mean, I don't want to be the one who's known as the girl who doesn't like the sweet innocent girl. Like I said, I like her well enough the majority of the time until she gets going about her feelings for Ichigo. *eye roll* And my pairing preference has absolutely no factor in this whatsoever... *shifty eyes*

I'm glad we see Rukia at full strength now. Before, she was in the gigai that Urahara gave her that drained her powers as well as when she was held prisoner and we didn't get to see her full potential. Once we do, she kicks ass!! Whoo!!

I have a ways to go yet (like almost 100 more chapters), but I shall keep plugging away. Poor Hakuryuu's hard drive. *pets*
