So bored, Avatar downloads, dub Bleach #18, and whatever

This is a first where I'm like totally bored out of my mind. Not much has been going on aside from this shitty weather. I took off work Mon and Wed thinking that the roads were really bad. By the time late afternoon hit, the roads were pretty dry and there went 16hrs worth of vacation time wasted on nothing. Though the other guy I work with who lives closer to work said that roughly 80% of the employees never showed up on Monday and not many showed up yesterday either. I don't mind the 30'ish degree weather cause it IS winter but I could do without all the wet stuff. If it wants to do it, it should wait till the weekend when I don't have to be out in it, damn it!!

I want to write but the stuff I either need to complete or start anew just isn't flowing through my noggin like I want it to. I guess it would be a good time to catch up on some anime that's still on the laptop.

~*~

Since it seemed like this past holiday was an Avatar spree of ppl receiving the show, talked about the show, and the ones I had burnt on disc for ppl as well, I'm thinking of uploading Season 1 and 2 for the taking like I did with Dexter. I'll probably start working on uploading the eps this weekend so I have enough on hand for you peeps to download. Might as well get it ready since I do believe Feb. is when the new season starts(?)

Speaking of Dexter, those who dl'ed the eps, I still want to hear from you guys on what you thought of the ending or just how much it made you think who was really the killer and what you thought when it was revealed overall.

~*~

ARGH! I finally got around to watching dub #18 of Bleach today. To me, the dub is nothing but a HUGE disappointment and it won't get better. And even the FEW characters who have okay voices, don't make up for the shittyness elsewhere. The conversation with Renji & Rukia in her cell annoyed me to no end. WHY is she calling him "MR.LIEUTENANT?" "MR.OFFICER?" WTF is with the whole mister bullshit??!! (I don't quite recall what she called him in the sub) I kinda liked Rikichi's voice but even his dialouge was changed in regards to the Hell Butterfly. In BOTH the sub and in the manga, he calls his fake butterfly Jennifer. WHY change anything??!! And when Renji is heading to the cell and those girls greeted him, he sounded nicer when he's like "Yo" (or something to that extent) not "at ease" and the dub sounded so pissy when he said it. *headsmash* Yeah, yeah, I keep torturing myself on watching this shitty dub and constantly bitching about it but maybe I'm just a masochist that way.

~*~

And to end it cause I will warn my flist now, you'll now doubt get sick of me posting the banners or talking about it but I don't care.

That sucks about the weather not being as bad as you thought it would be and using up two vacation days. I know what you mean about wanting to write but your brain not cooperating with you.

I haven't watched Avatar yet but thanks again for sending it to me. When I start the series I'll definitely let you know what I think.

Your post on the Bleach dub make me want to hear how bad it is (you aren't the only masochist.) *lol*

About Dexter, I didn't want to say too much in my comments because someone who hadn't seen the series yet might've gotten spoiled and send me tons of hate emails. One thing I want to do is sit down and make a post about the show because it is so good.

Some of the people on IMDb had me rolling because they said that Michael C. Hall looked like the son from the Bernstein Bears. I can't find that post anymore but man that had me cracking up because at first I wanted to call BS because he's so hot but then someone put links to pictures of the two and he kinda does.

The thing about the weather is that it was icy late Sun night into Mon morning. But with me having to drive 60 miles, cross over umpteen bridges and overpasses just to get to work and knowing how Texans drive in this kind of weather, you just don't want to take that chance. For Wed., by the time 4:00 came around, the roads looked dry and bubba said they weren't bad when he came home from work. I was thinking about going into work but like the other dude said, who knows how the roads might be at night if they have enough moisture to re-freeze. But it didn't matter about going into work cause he said they barely had any work to print all day/evening.

I'm really weird when it comes to my vacation time. I carried over nearly 3 weeks worth from last yr into this yr. I think we can only earn 215hrs before it quits building up. (the hrs pends on how long you've been working there) I'm cautious like that cause I want to make sure I have enough for the times that I AM doing something (though that's much later into the yr like late July and late Aug) and still have something there in case something comes up. They kept picking on me at work about all that time I have saved up and that I should just take a day or two off just to get away from work. It's hard to say where I'd rather be bored at; work or home. *lol*

I think you'll really like Avatar. Good animation and good voices too!

I'll upload Bleach dub #18 for you tonight and give ya a link. The first half is when Renji visit's Rukia's cell, the rest of the show after that is when Urahara is starting to train Ichigo.

OMG! I totally know what ya mean about not saying too much in comments. It was so hard for me not to say much when I posted the links for the show. The reason I mentioned it again in this post is that I've been DYING to discuss OMFGWTF'eryCANYOUBELIEVETHAT?! anything within the show. The only person I've been able to do that with is my older sister. You should totally do a write up soon on you lj about it and maybe get some of your flist to get into it as well.

That's just fucking funny reading that even though I never seen the pic either.

Whoa, a sixty mile commute is no joke. I don't blame you for being cautious especially since you have to go over several bridges.

I want to make sure I have enough for the times that I AM doing something (though that's much later into the yr like late July and late Aug) and still have something there in case something comes up.

I understand that. You want to have those days in reserve.

It's hard to say where I'd rather be bored at; work or home. *lol*

*cracks up!* It's something how you can be so bored at home that you wish you couldn've been at work. That doesn't happen to me often but it has happened.

I know!!! This show is so good that you just have to talk about it and try your best not to blurt out important details. Whenever I do my write up I'll try to have the spoilers marked off so anybody that runs across them asked for it!

That's just fucking funny reading that even though I never seen the pic either.

When I first read that person's comment I couldn't believe it. I wish I could find that post because I haven't been able to come across the pic of the Brother Bear character that person used but for sake of comparison I found these. They aren't as good as the one the original poster had.

Comparison 1:
Brother Bear and Dexter

Comparison 2:
Brother Bear and Dexter

The scene the second Dexter pic came from cracks me up. It's one of my favorites. The way he smirked when Rudy said, "Jiminy-fucking-cricket" was great.

Sad but true. And it's even sadder that I feel more inspired to write fics at work than at home.

Brother Bear and Dexter

OMFG! I can't stop laughing at the comparisons. Someone must have a pretty good eye if they compared Dexter to Brother Bear.

And yeah, Dexter makes some pretty good expressions that has me cracking up.

I hope your keeping as warm as you can since I heard it's hella cold there.

HAHAHAHA! That has happened to me too! And it sucks because you can't really write anything at work. I can see my supervisor saying, "That's a long memo you're working on!"

OMFG! I can't stop laughing at the comparisons. Someone must have a pretty good eye if they compared Dexter to Brother Bear.

That comparison cracked me up too much after I realized it was definitely true. People are always talking shit on the internet, it just worked out this time that it was hilarious. *snickers*

Oh man, it's been pretty damn cold. You should have seen me yesterday. I had on two shirts, a sweater, two pairs of pants, and two pairs of socks. And I could STILL feel the cold.

The building was freezing at work. Every one put in work orders for the heat to be checked. The engineers weren't much help. They were just like, "Your windows are shot because the heat is coming out 82 degrees." *sighs*

Wow, I'm usually one of the people that are fine with dubs but that was pretty damn bad. Not just the voice acting but why did they feel the need to change lines around like that? *shakes head* Poor Renji.

Keigo and Chizuru sound pretty decent. I was hoping for something different for Urahara. :(

And that's the fucked up part about it all. If it weren't for Renji's voice being ripped to shreds, I could've cared less how the others sound. But since they ruined my fav character, I really can't stomach the dub. Even the very few voices I like doesn't make the pain go away. I'm actually surprised they haven't fucked up Bya's voice since you know his would be sooo hard to mangle *lol*. I fear for the rest of the SS peeps.
