The local laundromat here closed a couple weeks ago and the next closest laundromat is a 20-30 minute drive away. x_x Well, this finally motivated us to get a washing machine. We always held off on getting one because of the hard water here and the fact that the house we rent has no washing machine hookup/drain. But seeing as the prices at the other laundromats are .50 cents to $2 more a load than what we are used to paying, plus the gas needed to drive to the laundromats, we figure as long as a washing machine lasts us 6 months it will pay for itself. Long story short, we got a washing machine! Yay! Bad news, landlord wouldn't come out for over a week to hook it up. Boo! chelle's dad came over this past weekend and we got it all set up and going. Yatta! We can now wash our clothes in our own home. ^__^ This will be the first weekend in 8 years in which I have not had to drive to a laundromat.

I found this link but I don't know if its accurate or not. http://family.go.com/blog/mom_pop_culture/disney-announces-tons-of-new-movies-----and-johnny-depp-is-in-lots-of--em--674165/ Beowulf styled Alice in Wonderland. *edit* looks like that movie will be a 3-D styled one: http://movies.about.com/od/deppjohnny/a/disneydepp92308.htm

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=47152 Has anyone seen the footage yet? I tried looking around for it, but I couldn't find it. I'm surprised they didn't get Johnny Depp to somehow star in this. He seems to be disney's favorite actor lately.

I bet this won't affect their campaign at all... but! If McCain doesn't win and she doesn't become vice-president, McCain and all the other republicans will just dump her ass right back in alaska where she will have to face the consequences of her now nationally recognized crime. That first debate with mccain and obama... mccain didn't even look at obama. How can you not look at someone who is only a couple yards away? It was offending, like mccain was too smug to even look at his opponent.

bwah! *is already behind* Who is the best sub group at the moment?

I think Luffy has the basis for Haki already. He just needs to know how to harness it. Remember when that guy named "Head" was attacking them... (the guy that looked like sanji's wanted poster for anyone who can't remember), and that head guy was riding that bull. In the manga, Luffy walked right up to the guy about to beat his ass and when Luffy looked at that monster bull it passed out foaming at the mouth. Everyone had a kind of shocked look on their face like... "Luffy didn't even touch, wth!?" Once Luffy can pick up on Haki skills, you know Zoro will figure it out. Hell, Zoro has probably been using basic haki skills all along with his sword moves, sending cutting waves of force or impact hits from a distance. Imagine the power Zoro could have with full haki power! The two of them would be unstoppable! It reminds me of the first time they met Aokiji on that one island. Aokiji said he was going to kill them because they scare the shit out him. They obviously never stood a chance against him at the time.. but I figure Aokiji could see their full potential of how badass they could become.

I'm glad the pace is still moving fast. At least something is actually happening with the plot for a change. But damn, Naruto finished his sage training in just a few days and then Tsunade is like "Call back Naruto" like hes the trump card of the village. wtf.

Thanks for the update. I didn't even bother watching the fillers. It was more school crap and an annoying girl. blah. At least a couple interesting fights will come up in the HM fights. I say that because a fight that lasted 14 chapters should actually be at the right pace in the anime.

yeah, they need to keep the animation style more consistent.

I wonder what was on her back! I bet Sanji could have survived being turned to stone... His lust would be more powerful than any other mans and he would probably turn into a moving rock golem. X'D I bet Luffy will learn the ways of Haki and start seriously owning. I bet the full power of haki allows people to negate DF powers. Like how Rayleigh was able to fight Kizaru. And maybe with that power they'll be able to negate Kuma's teleport/launch attack.

I lurk there often but I'm hesitant to share my views lest you beat me. j/k. *signs a petition*

My exhaust pipe broke again. While that goop is good for holes and cracks, it wasn't strong enough to hold a rusted, broken pipe together. I took my car into the local shop and they replaced the flex pipe for me. $100. Not that bad compared to Midas or one of these other places that would say I'd have replace the entire pipe with the cadillitic converter attached for over $300 just for the part. Oh well. The quicksteel on the support bracket is holding fine tho. If that brakes again I'll just replace the bracket all together.

"V" for Victory! X'D Maybe they'll remake it as good as the BSG remake.

I'll sign it. Fucking bastards. They probably don't care what anyone thinks of them or if they even get sued. Once Bush is about to leave office he'll give everyone involved presidential pardons to cover everyone's asses.

Prowler? I remember that name. Welcome back. Its been years.

Well, the quicksteel failed. I forgot its only good for up to 500 degrees. So the exhaust pipe broke on my way to work monday. I remember yelling "BITCH!" in the car and then turned back home. So I went to Nappa and I picked up this stuff from Napa: http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPages/NOLMaster.aspx?PageId=470&LineCode=BK&PartNumber=7651516&Description=Muffler+%26+Exhaust+Sealer+%26+Repair+Kit And unlike quicksteel, I didn't need to knead it. Its just a goop and was easy to spreed around the break. Its a good thing I was able to get the pipe to line up and stay put with a clamp while the goop dried, because it takes 2-4 hours to set. I ended up using an entire tube on this break, I went balls nuts and whiped the stuff all around the break to reinforce it. I let it set for over 24 hours because it was an entire tube. I don't think it needed that long, but it apears to be holding. But to top it all off I picked up a couple packs of muffler bandage tape and wrapped the entire damn thing up to re-inforce it. I think its holding because I drove it all day yesterday and it was fine. But just this afternoon the car started sounding loud again. If the pipe fully broke again I would know, but I do have a strong feeling another crack might have started up or it possibly broke all over again and the muffler tape is holding it in place. This car hates me. x_x Its one thing to nickel and dime someone to death, but when all the nickel and dime jobs run $300 a shot, it really forces you to cob-job things to make them work. I just hope this crap will hold up in the long run. I'm going to check out the pipe tomorrow in the daylight and see what kind of damage might be going on now.

I think most of the slowness I experience is from the anti-phising feature that came out with IE7.

As I was driving home from work last monday I noticed my saturn kept getting louder and louder. And then, right on the last couple streets to get to my house, my car started screaming at me. The car drove fine, felt fine, but the f*cking thing sounded like a drag racer. I got home and checked my exhaust and sure as hell, the joint where the exhaust pipe connects at broke. A car with no exhaust connected to it is so friggin loud you almost need earplugs. The joint was pretty rusted, but the reason it broke is because another support piece further down the exhaust pipe broke and that caused the pipe to have enough back/forth and up/down movement to finish off the joint. I don't have any pictures of it or my repair job. But it should be all fine now since I quicksteeled the support and main joint back together again. Thank goodness for quicksteel. Aside from duct tape, this epoxy steel is versitile as all hell. *rubs my sore fingers from all the kneeding* x_x

Over the past couple years cartoon network's toonami and adult swim has all turn to shit in regards to anime. They always seemed to favor humor over anime. And when they did play anime they moved it to rediculous time slots if the ratings dipped in the slightest. I remember when gundam seed got moved to a 5 am slot and Inuyasha (maybe I'm thinking of another show I watched) was moved to 2 am. I have to work in the mornings which means I have to sleep at a decent time, so in my opinion, I'd rather watch subtitled downloaded anime on my own time as opposed to forcing myself to stay awake to read assinine black text boxes from the adult swim staff. Even if I had dvr, I'd rather not waste my time watching all their edited crap anyway. Poor toonami turned to shit ever since they moved most of the anime to adult swim. Come to think of it, the only anime on adult swim now is Naruto. They cut back anime on adult swim to one hour or something like that. I read it in another article, but I don't feel like looking it up now. *listens to White Reflection for the old memories of good days*

Firefox 3 works pretty good with the latest updates now. IE7 constantly loads slow as shit for me.

*merges topic* I didn't realize this topic was about the same thing.
