Sickle Cell Disease Research symposium. It is remarkable how something can be both so interesting and so utterly boring at once. Finished .hack//AI buster. Alberio and Watarai... once you find out the kicker it's like "oh... I should have gotten that on like part three." I love Balmung. I thought Orca was a girl (and by that I mean I thought Orca was a female character when he was mentioned briefly in .hack//Twilight 3).
Then I read 2-7 of Tokyo Babylon. Shit. Totally unsurprised by the ending, though (the fact I knew everything in advanced entirely irrelevent).

“And this special for our special customer!”

Rukia endured the fluttery shopkeeper torment of the week. “Any thing you want to give me for free, I don’t want.”

“Oh, fair lady—”

“Don’t you ‘fair lady’ me. You’re just trying to push off something defective… or a new model of Kon.”

Urahara hid his smile behind a wave of his fan. “I would never give defective products to such a valued customer.”

“I don’t believe that.”

Urahara feigned hurt. “Take it as a guarantee that you were provide accommodations for Abarai-kun when he comes to do his survey this weekend.”

Rukia was satisfied enough with that answer. She was not so pleased to discover the “special” package was full of condoms.
