Bahahaha! 'Stairway to Heaven'? Really?!
Nov. 24th, 2012 09:40 pmWow! Not blogged in a while … This is, of course, because of my having been (and still being) in hospital undergoing surgery. But, I will say there has definitely been one upside to all that downtime: I have caught up on all my Bleach manga! I had sort of lost interest in the series and stopped reading around Chapter 443 (‘Dirty Boots Dangers’), and I’ll put my hands up and say that it was a mixture of duty, nostalgia and boredom which brought me back, rather than anticipation or curiosity.
But, as I read, while I wouldn’t say it was like the glory days, I really enjoyed it and found myself interested and inspired by what I was reading. I had once more become truly engaged with Bleach. To more accurately describe the feeling, it was like when the heady hormonal high of a really good new relationship has worn off to be replaced by a sense of warm and comfortable companionship. It made me glad that I’d taken a break from Bleach for all that time.
So, to business, as I said, I was inspired by my reading, and therefore have decided to post one blog about Bleach every day for the next week. This might work or it might not. I mean, there’s a chance I might be going into surgery again next Saturday, and a chance that I may temporarily lose the use of my right hand (already not allowed to use my left) the day after tomorrow, which will make typing … difficult.
Anyway, let’s see how we go. I’ve split my blogs into these categories: two looks at specific plot events and two at specific chapters, one return to a favourite theme and one look at a theme which has interested me for a while. And finally, a strange comparison…
But, before I get into the blogging proper I just have to comment upon the title of chapter 517 with a massive guffaw and the link to this video:
