I have a routine when it comes to my nights. 10 - 11:30, I watch The Simpsons and South Park. 11:30 - 12:00 I watch Family Guy. 12:00 to 12:15 I wash up for bed, and make it back to the TV in time for Aqua Team Hunger Force and Shin Chan.

Last night I was running late. I was feeling crappy, so I had tea out on the deck, hoping the combination of tea and fresh air would settle my stomach. I came inside a little after 12:30, and plopped down to watc Shin Chan. Only Shin Chan wasn't on. I found myself staring at a rather generic looking anime scene, and immediately was upset. Changes in my routine do not please me.

But then I looked a little closer and thought 'whatever this is, it's familiar'. Which is remarkably unhelpful, because I've seen so much damn anime that there's a good chance whatever I tune in to is familiar. But, a couple more very bizarre landscape scenes and I started to get suspicious.

My suspicions were right. Adult Swim is now playing, from the very first episode, Bleach every weekday night. So I can actually watch it. Technically I've seen 25 episodes, but damned if I remember much of it at all. I think I can remember maybe five or six scenes altogether from everything I've seen. So now I can actually finally see it. Huzzah!

And it clearly influenced my dreams, because Rukia and Ichigo were both in them. I was staying at a hotel in some city, and Ichigo was staying in the room next door, and a Hollow attacked and I remember trying to hide in a mall, and then we had to fight ninjas, but they were dinosaur ninjas. And somehow we ended up lost at sea, and we couldn't find edible fish, and then it shifted and I was in a golf tournament with Simon (why he is the Firefly character I consistently dream about, I will never know) and we were playing against porn stars and I was in my Lust cosplay, but it split open and I had to borrow a robe from
