OUAT Season 3 wOOt!

Before I get started, here is that article I mentioned in the previous comments.

But what I *really* want to know is were you guys(Arekino and Co.)all like this or this?  ;P

Okay then!  Last night the season premiere of OUAT probably saved me from having permanent damage done to my right hand.  I called it quits outside because there was a special season recap on before the season premiere and I wanted to get my recording device all set up for both and then take a quick shower before the show got started.

I hadn't looked at any OUAT fan sites or spoilers in the previous week because I didn't want to be tainted, but I did remember some bets taking place about who was going to get heart-ripped and who would be doing the ripping.  All the peeps who said that Regina would be getting her rip on within the first 30 minutes were DEAD WRONG.  That honor went to someone else.  The rip-ee richly deserved it, though.  I cheered that one.  ;D  Also, someone else who deserved it got something ripped but I'm not going to spoil for those who are across the pond and a season behind.

Regina *did* get her fireball flinging on.  Hey, I can't blame her.  When annoying idiots are being indecisive, *someone* has to make some executive decisions.  And what better way to take care of shit than to start flingin' the fireballs?  She also had a bit of an MMA throw-down with Snow, but not enough in my opinion.  ;P

Anyhoo, not really too much happened as it was only the first episode, but I think this Neverland themed season is going to be chock full of WTF?  And the best line of the episode(without really spoiling anything)was from Henry when he said that his mom was coming for him...BOTH of them!  LOL  Yeah, take *that* bitches!  I guess now he's kinda glad that one of his moms is the Evil Queen who's a badass sorceress.  ;D

Sail Boat, Canal Barge, or Shipping Container

I have been entertaining the idea of what it would be like to live in each of these and which one I would like best.  Each has its merits and disadvantages.

Discuss.

Aaaaarrrrrr!!!

Five minutes left to get yerrr pirate on!  (Or just carry on tomorrow in the comments!  ;P )

Maiden!!!

Monday night about an hour before I had planned to go to bed, I was transported via magical Xul powers to the Roxy Theater in L.A. to see one of the most enjoyable concerts that I have ever seen.  The band was called The Iron Maidens.  I had never heard of them before.  They are an all female Iron Maiden tribute band.

Generally, I don't care for tribute bands.  They are usually too cheesy for my tastes.  But these ladies were different.  Their musicianship was absolutely superb.  They played with such skill that if you closed your eyes you would think that you were listening to the real Iron Maiden(except for the lady singer, of course).  And the singer was awesome, too.  Usually I don't care for female metal singers--too screechy.  But this chick had such a rich tonal quality to her voice.  She had great control of her voice and sounded as though she had operatic training.  I will have to do further research on this band.

Anyway, the point is they fucking killed!  They played all the classic Maiden songs and just totally rocked them all.  The final song was Run To The Hills(one of my favorites)and it was so cool to see the whole audience singing along.  Fabulous show.  I highly recommend this band.  If these ladies ever come to your town and you have an opportunity to see them live you should totally do so! 

I strongly dislike shopping with a certain person

Ugh.  I was out for most of the day Tuesday(dealing with the old woman's glasses). The eyeglass shop was in a mall.  I have not been in a mall in ages. The wait for the glasses was 1 hour 15 minutes, so what the hell! Might as well see what other shops were there!

I went in a Spencer's.  I think the last time I was in one of those was maybe 10 years ago. They always had a "naughty" section, but now the whole store seems to be the naughty section.  It used to just be naughty birthday cards and beer glasses and things, but now they are selling vibrators and such right out in the open. I guess kids these days need their vibrators. And bongs. They have bongs now.

Luckily for me, I popped in there while the old woman was still in the eyeglass shop and I popped out before she came in. I don't want to have to explain that store to her.  ;P

We ended up walking the length of the mall and back.  Didn't buy anything, but went in a couple shops and looked around.  Afterward, we went to the nearest Sam's for a few things and then a Publix and then came home.  Six hours in total. That is waaaaaay too much one on one time with the old woman.

In other news, I got a thing for Thursday!  Someone croaked so my services are required.  ;D

Sigh, I really wanted to do a new post that was positive and not a bitchy one.  It seems I'm always bitching about something.  I had a really great experience last night and I'd like to share it and give credit where credit is due, but I'm too tired to write that post right now.  So someone remind me later, okay!  ;P

I don't just want to punch her in the face,...

...now I want to smash her face in with many palm strikes and elbows.

I watched the premiere of the latest The Ultimate Fighter show last night.  The two coaches are Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey for this series.  The show started off with Rousey finding out that Tate was going to be the other coach instead of Cat Zingano because Zingano blew out her knee and was having surgery and would not be able to coach.  Immediately, Rousey started throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child because she hates Tate.  It was all so ridiculous.  She needs to grow the hell up already because she doesn't look cool or tough when doing that.  She just looks like what she is--an insufferable spoiled child throwing a tantrum when she isn't getting her way.  All the more reason for me to dislike her.

It was a two hour long show and it seemed like every time you got to see five minutes of it there was a commercial break for another five minutes.  It was getting on my nerves.  Also, while Dana White was sitting with the two coaches to evaluate the fighters, Rousey was just sitting there pouting and not saying a thing.  She's such a fucking cunt.  I really wish Zingano didn't get injured because I think that she could at least have delivered a well deserved beating to Rousey.  I just don't think Tate is very tough.  She gets on my nerves, too, with her annoying "girly" personality.

All in all, it was not a very entertaining show.  There were a few fighters that had potential.  The female fighters were definitely more interesting than the males.  For the most part, I didn't see many skilled fighters to keep my interests.  I'm not sure if I'm going to watch much more of this series.  They keep showing Rousey's childish antics in the promos and that is not something that would get me to tune in.  It just makes me wish that I was 15 years younger because I'd like to beat her ass myself.

Ninja!

Before I get into the meat of this post, I'd just like to tell ya about something funny that I saw today.  I had to take the old woman for a doc appointment and then afterward it is customary to go to Walmart.  The old woman wanted to go look at some things on the vitamin aisle just before we were about to leave.  That's when I noticed this:

At first I thought it was some sort of wiener pill, but upon further inspection, it's mostly B vitamins.  Hmmm, I seem to recall telling someone that he could take a supplement and forget about any injections.  ;P

Seriously, though...just take some B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium and that should give you the boost ya need.

Okay, now for the ninjas!

Much to my chagrin, American Ninja Warrior has been picked up by a stupid major American network and has now been ruined by the PC police.  Instead of the rules being you have to complete the course to move to the next stage like in Japan, the bar had to be lowered so that we can be "inclusive" and not hurt anyone's sensitive widdle feewings.  So now peeps who FAILED and did NOT finish the course are allowed to come back as alternates.  Also, women who did NOT complete the course were allowed back for the FINALS of all things.  No women even came close to completing the qualifying course.  Why the hell should they be allowed a shot at the finals for Christ's sake?

If you want to have women be able to compete, just make a Kunoichi show like they have in Japan.  That way the course will be tailored for a woman's strengths like balance and lower body strength and not like the men's course which is mostly geared toward upper body strength.  Also, the taller one is, the better one will do on the regular course since there is a lot of jumping and reaching involved.

The other thing that has completely ruined it for me is the two stupid color commentary idiots babbling annoyingly and incessantly.  The one is extremely negative and always has something negative to say while someone is trying to complete the course as if he has a clue on what should be done.  I doubt that the idiot could make it past the first obstacle let alone finish the course.  He should just shut the fuck up already.  But since neither of them will shut the fuck up and stop being annoying, I am forced to put the TV on mute so that I can watch the show without being annoyed by their moronic jabbering.

At least a bunch of the peeps who qualified at the Miami event completed stage one of the final.  Yay, Floridians!  Let's do something awesome for once!  ;P
