Changing settings

I reverted my account back to the basic account. While having the extra benefits of the upper level accounts were nice, I was hardly using them anyway, and the advertisement was getting on my nerves somewhat.

It seems that I prefer simple things on my blog. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, just simple monotone colors and writings. Not even pictures are necessary, and if I really want something moving or colorful I find it much better to link to it or embed it within the blog page itself. The cell-phone SMS support is something I'd miss, but then again, I never used it (only planned to).

I've been watching the anime series Monster, based on the manga of the same name created by Naoki Urasawa. He is possibly the greatest manga creator of our age. I've already read through the entirety of the Monster manga series and his other major work the 20th century boys (which isn't complete yet), and I have yet to find a single flaw within any of them. Beautiful art, tight storyline, deep introspection into the depth of the author's and the reader's souls characterize his works. Despite the depth his manga never come off as preachy or pretentious as some of the 'deep' manga out there, instead opting for identifiable, normal characters with normal traits, each with a gentle understanding of life that goes beyond the preset notions of what life should be.

My study on plasma is coming on nicely. I might be able to see something interesting in a few days.
