Tiger & Bunny

OMFG I love Tiger & Bunny! It's an awesome mix of anime and CG in my opinion. If you haven't watched it then I have one thing to say, go do it -__-
If you're wondering if it's a Yaoi or something the answer is No. It's just a show about hero's and a bond between partners.

 

 And if that isn't a perfect partnership relationship I don't know what is XD Oh Kotetsu I love you. *fangirlmoment*

Also, I finally created my own character for the anime. See! Her name is Kokora Bestel, her Hero Name is Glimmer Phase, and her Next ability is Manipulating Energy to Phase through walls and create attacking orbs of light! Sorry for the watermark, but people out there are assholes.

I also found a club on Deviantart.com to join with her ^^ I'm so excited! It was only made about a month ago and it only has 14 members as of right now. I hope she's accepted!

I'm also going to start writing a story when I find some other characters I can write with. So the story just isn't about her.

I'm also going to write one with Kyde in it. More for personal enjoyment ;)

Anime Review: Bleach Part 1

Anime Reviews

First Off: Bleach

I got board so I decided to blab on about Bleach's first season. I left out a good part of the story, but meh.

Bleach is currently an ongoing anime and manga. While the anime has Arcs to fill in the gaps for the writers to get ahead (in my opinion) the manga is far ahead of where the anime is today. Especially if you are only watching the English ones that come out on TV with programs like Adult Swim.

Anyway, let me start from the beginning. The story picked up quickly, and didn’t leave you with what sometimes happens with animes/mangas. Getting past the first episode or chapter, which is sometimes why some people skip what could actually be a good story. For example The Hobbit written by JRR Tolken; it’s harder than hell to get past the first part of the book in my opinion, but the rest of the way is highly entertaining.

The pace is a bit slow, but the story is good. Soon it begins to rip at your heart strings when one of the main characters (Rukia) gets taken back to Soul Society and the main character (Ichigo) has his powers stripped from him, and almost his life along with it. Ichigo, who is determined to save Rukia from her impending death in Soul Society, goes through the harsh and brutal training of gaining his powers back. He eventually gets them back, but at a price.

Ichigo, three of his friends (Ishida, Chad/Shado, and Orihime), and a cat are then ready to go into Soul Society. Basically what heaven is to this world, aka not what I hope heaven is like. Though I would be happy with it. The group forces their way into the center of Soul Society where the Shinigami reside. They are split up and forced to fight some of the 13 Captains of the Gotei 13. Simply put, the strongest people you could have the misfortune of running into while trespassing. Meanwhile one of the 13 Captains, Captain of the 5^th Squad Aizen, is found dead. With the mysterious death of a Captain and the invasion of Ichigo and Company Soul Society is in a tail spin trying to keep things together.

Ishida and Chad get gunned down the Captains. Ishida manages to defeat the 12^th Squad Captain Mayuri but is easily defeated when he comes across the 9^th Squad Captain Tosen. Chad is easily taken out by the Captain of the 8^th Squad Shunsui. Orihime gets captured along with them, as well as the comrade that got them into the center of Soul Society Ganju. Ganju had been taken out by Byakuya, Rukia’s older brother and Captain of the 6^th Squad, when Ichigo and him got oh so close to rescuing her. Ichigo would have been gunned down as well if it hadn’t been for the cat that went with them, aka Yoruichi, who got him away. But not before informing Byakuya that she would bring him back stronger than him in just 3 days.

In those three days Ichigo trained hard with his Zanpactou (a sword all Shinigami have) to obtain Bankai. Bankai is extremely hard to learn and can take not only decades but hundreds of years for a Shinigami (who is usually dead to begin with) to obtain. Though in three days time Rukia’s execution was to commence, and luckily thanks to Ukitake Captain of the 13^th Squad it was stalled with enough time for Ichigo to get there, stop the execution and save Rukia. Now he had to fight Byakuya, where he did prove that he had obtained a very powerful Bankai. In the battle Ichigo’s Hollow Side came out, the price he had to pay for his powers, but was able to force it aside and defeat Byakuya.

Things seem great now right? Not at all. There is still the case of the mysteriously murdered Captain Aizen. On the execution grounds Aizen shows up, no he is not actually dead, and uses a device to extract something from inside of Rukia’s body. This is what he was after all along, and why she was scheduled to be executed for such a petty crime; giving Shinigami powers to a human (Ichigo). Now realizing what was really going on, the rest of the Captains and their Vice-Captains tried to stop Aizen from getting away. Though two of the other Captains stand by his side as highly powerful Hollows (Menos) take them into Hueco Mundo, the Hollows Realm. These two Captains are 9^th Squad Captain Tosen and 3^rd Squad Captain Gin.

In the end of this season Aizen and Company got away. Ichigo and his friends were forgiven, Rukia’s life was spared. Now Ichigo and Company go back to their home town in the Living World without Rukia to live their lives… until the threat of Aizen’s return comes forth in one years time.

All in all it was very good. I couldn't stop reading and watching at the same time. They're both wonderful and Tite Kubo is a wonderful storyteller! Gives you just enough to try and figure it out, but leaves you hanging so you keep going.

I'll do the next part, the Bounto Arc, later.

There are days I wish I could just yell as a response.

I should have gone to church today. Even though I was tired, hadn’t slept all night or very well in days, and though I didn’t feel good I should have went. Why? Well it would have been one less thing my brother-in-law would have come down on me with.

I am Mormon, and he’s not really with organized churches and so I haven’t gone to church sense I’ve been living with him and my sister because I didn’t want to hear it. So I used that as an excuse for a very long time.

My Sunday didn’t go well. They were off at the Bar watching football, which is ok. I’m glad that they go out and do things. So I was at home alone for a good part of the day. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my own company. Other than just feeling like I was worthless all day my brother-in-law brought up the subject of how he was upset about me not telling him that I lost my job. I didn’t want to tell him because I was ashamed. Sure he would have been cool with it, because it happens to everyone, but it was a defeat that I didn’t want to admit.

I haven’t told him anything about how I’ve been feeling about it and things that have been going on in my life in the past few days and how much everything has been bothering me. I don’t tell him because he’s never freakin home. Like, ever. He used to come home and stay home more often, but now he goes straight to the bar, comes home to get changed to go running-runs-comes back to shower-and then goes to the bar, and sometimes comes home just to drop off his things and goes to the bar. I haven’t said anything to him on how much that bothers me and to ask him if it was my fault that he’s never home. I figured it wasn’t my place, because I live here for free.

He told me that I have to go back to Wyoming if by January 1^st nothing’s changed. By that he means me not getting out of the house more often, getting a job, getting friends, and not doing what I enjoy which is my own company. Ok, yes I do need to get out more, but the way he just doesn’t give a fuck hurts a great deal. He even said he didn’t give a fuck.

So I’m in a mess right now. Trying not to cry because of my Ulcer and that they would hear me. I mean what the hell do I have to do to please this guy? I know he loves me, and I’m just pissed beyond saying right now. It’s hard, really, really hard.

Recovering

So that 5 Hour Energy Drink had me down the whole damn day yesterday. Today I feel exhausted. I feel as though I ran a mile flat out, save for the muscle aches that I would have from such an activity. Like I said, I'm really tired and I'm just taking it easy today. It'll probably last through tomorrow but by Monday I'll be back to normal.

For those of you that might be wondering what kind of heart condition I have it's called POTS. I have another blog that I just started which I'll be telling my story on.

Energy Drinks are the Devil

5 Hour Energy Drinks hate me. Curse you heart condition; you have proved once again that any type of energy drink is evil. Other than feeling extremely weak and dizzy I’ve managed to stop my heart from pounding. Though typing this is really hard. I’m going to go take a Xanex and see if that helps. I’m drinking a lot of water and snacking so I don’t pass out or something. Sometimes I hate my life… A lot.

Well lately I haven’t played Oblivion. I have until October 1^st to finish an OCT (Original Character Tournament) entry for the first round. I’m writing the rest of it sense I’m up against both writers and artist, so I found this to be the best option. I’m sure I’ll get it done in time. It’s just not going to be today. At least until this stuff wears off… which could take 5 fucking hours.

What possessed you to drink it?

Well I knew that other energy drinks did this to me, but I thought this would be different. I tested it on a day I knew I wouldn’t be doing anything, Good thing too. I’m going to die. Gotta go, think I'm going to faint.

Oblivion

Last night I stayed up way to late playing Oblivion. How late? Well I had to be up at 5 am to get ready to go to work with Jenny so I could go to Human Resources and apply for another job and I finished playing around 4 am. Yup. Won’t do that again. I told Jenny that I was up late posting on my blog (this blog) and that I was in bed before her perceived 2 am… Technically I was ‘in bed’ but let’s face it: she’ll kill me if she ever reads this. I pray that if she does she will not be angry, for I will not be doing that again. She thought I was up until 2 am playing because my computer was in my room. Trust me; she was dead on the couch much sooner than 11 pm.

Moving on, Oblivion. Damn that game. It’s so freakin addicting! The first time I played it I was at my Brother’s house in Idaho. I was living there with him and his manly wife (yes, she hates my guts and the feeling is mutual) at the time. That’s a long story I do not wish to delve into right now. I was successful in becoming the Gray Fox himself! Well, herself. I had done very little of the main story line quests and had just started the quests in the Dark Brotherhood. In which I tried a couple days as a Vampire, found it boring, and restarted at the save spot that I created just in case I thought it would be bad. Good thing too, otherwise I would have been in trouble. NOT! I moved out. Another long story I do not wish to tell right now.

Sometime later I contacted my Older Brother and asked him if he could save the file from his PS3 onto a flash drive and mail it to me. He informed me that he had erased it. Pissed was I. So I went to FYE’s to try and look for it on PS3 (not that I had one at the time) or Computer. They didn’t. Ridiculous I know. So I went without it for a year and a half, but never stopped thinking about what I wanted to do when I got it for myself one day.

It wasn’t until I was in college this last year, fall of 2011, that Alanna (an amazing person who’s so freakin smart it’s scary) taught me how to torrent it. Sure it took like 3 hours or more, but it was so worth it! Though I didn’t play it until I had pulled out of that semester due to medical reasons; I didn’t want to have it interfere with my school work, which was lacking at the time as it was.

It wasn’t until I got to my Dad’s place in Riverton that I played it. I had to start packing to go to California again, but I was so freakin sick I lost my voice! I mean I had never lost my voice before, and it totally sucked! So what did I do? I had no internet, and the local library didn’t have wifi. So I played Oblivion! Even after my Dad remembered the internet password to his wifi and I finally got internet I still played it. Though I used the net to look up cheats because I was a dumbass and at level 11.

I ended up putting it down once I got to California. I had other things to do. A job, get my health on track, and basically my life back on track. Some things happened and about a week ago I started playing again when I was in my Sisters office with no wifi, yet again, and nothing to do. So I started another game, which would make my third, and played. It’s been about 5 days today sense I started playing it again and I’ve only used cheat codes for money, hammers, lock picks, and to revive Mezoga the Orc because she died protecting me as I fled the castle after I stole back the Countess’ ring. Big ‘OOPS’ on my part. I couldn’t finish that quest without her. That’s what I was doing last night until 4 am. Trying to figure out how the ‘revive’ code worked! Then I just used the ‘Place Player At Me’ code and suddenly there were two Mezogas. One dead one and one live one. If I took something from the dead one she’d yell at me sense the computer thought I was taking it from her. XD Ahhhhh awesome.

So far I’ve gotten pretty far in the Mage’s Guild. The Necromancy stuff is kinda awesome. I’m halfway through the Thieves Guild, gotta go look for the book next. Just entered the Dark Brotherhood, like haven’t even opened the dark door yet. Done several jobs for the Fighters Guild, and I don’t know how far that one goes or where it leads. Nothing for the ‘Holy Relics’ of the Nine Divines, kinda hard to do when you’re killing people in the Dark Brotherhood. Last, but not least, I just got the 3^rd book of the Deadric worshipers for the main story quest. Plus a lot of side quests because I enjoy it. XD

The next time I play the game I’m going to write the story down and post it somewhere. Don’t know when, and don’t know where. Though it’ll take me FOREVER to finish the game like that, but it’ll be totally worth it won’t it! Won’t it? Oh well. I’m looking forward to it.

More for you guys later!

A Day of Rest... Kinda

Today I awoke at 5: 30 am. If you could call it awake. I could see that it was time to get up but my body did not register it as such and so I fell back asleep. I then awoke at 11 pm to find that I was indeed in my bed and not at Camp Pendleton where I should be to start the application process for another job. Jenny was also not thinking correctly this morning and failed to wake me, and thus left me. -__-

Why do I need to find another job? Well because I got let go of my last one on Friday.

Why so soon? You were only there for a month?! 

Well it’s because I wasn’t physically fit for the job and it was a mutual agreement between me and the boss. Sure I’m a bit upset about it, but I can’t deny how much I hated the job. How much I hated not having time to do what I wanted. How exhausted I was everyday and how it was making me physically ill to the point that I missed an entire week. I missed that week because I had the beginnings of an ulcer due to my worrying so much. That was a week ago and it still hurts from time to time. Especially when I eat acidic foods like oranges and things that give me heartburn like pizza T^T Oh how I love both of those. Even though I ate half of a Pizza Hut Pizzon (pepperoni) last night. Yes I’m still paying for it a bit.

So I got up and vacuumed, did some of the laundry, and went over to Vons (which is right outside my gate) and asked if they were hiring. I had already sent in an application before I got my last job, but I didn’t get a position. I wasn’t going to try again but Jenny informed me that the staff is going on strike soon and that they would be hiring. I didn’t want to go and join Vons when such drama was going down, but hell I need a job. So I bit my cheeks and drove over to Vons. 

Why did you drive? You said it was right outside of the gate.

Because Jenny took my gate key and it’s a really long fucking walk in the hot sun through the front gate and around to Vons. So I drove my lazy ass. When I got there they told me they weren’t hiring because of the strike and so I just went and did some shopping. Though Jenny did the basic shopping yesterday, getting milk, creamer for her coffee, and the like. She also got me the one pop tart that I despise. I tried eating one before I went and managed to force it down. Nasty shit. Blech!

So I got some snacks (no pop tarts, I forgot), some Abba Zabbas (the most amazing candy in the world), and some Halloween cards with a few other things. Some of my friends will be getting a card with a surprise inside. No, not candy. 

I was also afraid this morning when I woke up because I realized that Stef, my sister’s husband, had to have seen me in bed and realized I wasn’t going to work. I hadn’t told him I got let go. I was afraid to. Though it seems that Jenny had told him and explained it to him. He wasn’t mad, but he does think that I’m just waiting on a phone call from Human Recourses on Camp Pendleton. Great right? -__- When I haven’t even reapplied yet.*sigh* Oh well.

Well here’s to a restful day when I can just sit and relax. Good thing too. My hips are killing me and I don’t want to go get adjusted… I guess I better get up and go.

I got lots more to talk about, but I’ll leave this for now. I’ll post more tomorrow or the next day.

Welcome All

Well I blame my friend Jordin for this. I realize that I didn't really have a place that I could rant, lament, spaz out, and just whatever. So here goes to an opening to a spot that people can see what's happening in my life. Not like my Deviantart, not like Facebook, just something where I can just be.
