Life: Updated.

So, news in the world of Tyler. (If you've befriended me on Twitter, Facebook, or Formspring, you might already know a lot of this.)..

I GOT A JOB AT WALMART! :] Orientation was the 10th, did computer work the 12th, and had my first official shift last night! Have today off and then I go back Tuesday.. o.O Training for these next two weeks, then I don't know.

I was supposed to have a second job at Steak 'n Shake, but today I got a phone call saying that they no longer needed me since I couldn't work night shift for them =/ which is total BS! Now I'm looking for a possible second job.. which I might already have lined up :D I got a call from Za's today about my application.. so I have to call them back tomorrow ^_^

My biggest problem with these jobs: I have no car. Well.. I have one. It just doesn't have a tire on, and there's some issues under the hood >.> My mom "stole" my tire about 2 or 3 months ago, and I'm just now needing the use of my car, and when we got to put the tire back on, the lugnuts are missing!?!?!?! So, we have to do something about that >___<

Lastly, I will be moving the first of February to Champaign (about 40 minutes from where I live now), to apartments with Sean's cousin, her boyfriend, and two other people. Should be interesting.. o.O I've found that I don't have enough boxes for our stuff ^~^ ugh oh..

So, that's about it :] Hopefully things keep going good(ish) for me =)

The New Year!

We are six days into 2012. And I have neglected to wish the Blogger world a Happy New Year... sooo... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! =)

The biggest thing I'm trying to do right now is get a job! I had two interviews Tuesday, Jan 3rd at Walmart and Cracker Barrel. I got a job offer at Walmart, had a drug test yesterday, and now I'm just waiting for a phone call about orientation. I think my Cracker Barrel interview went great, and I'm supposed to hear back from them sometime next week. Then I have an interview at the Steak 'n Shake where my brother works. I'd rather work at the Steak 'n Shake, than the Cracker Barrel, but whatever I get, I'll be happy.

Hopefully between two part time jobs, I'll get the type of money I need to pay for 1/4 of an apartment, pay for food, and save up for college in the fall.

Then I've set a New Year's Resolution to feel better about myself. I have this amazing life, and amazing boyfriend, and yet, I'm always feeling depressed and down in the dumps. I want that to change. Going to be doing more physical activities, hopefully eating a little better, and just try and get myself into a better psychological state!

Again, Happy New Year to all, and I wish you all the best in this New Year! <3

Black Panther!

This is a show that I had never heard of, but just came across randomly during one of my surfs of the web. It seemed interesting, so I got it. And it's actually pretty awesome. It's not your typical superhero show at all, though there are many cameos my Captain America and the X-Men. Storm especially plays a big part in the show. It was pretty awesome seeing some of my favorite characters mixed with brand new ones that I had never heard of before.

The show is about a man named T'Challa, who becomes the new Black Panther in the pilot. The Black Panther is the leader of the country of Wakanda, and protects all their land, people, and secrets in advancements. The show revolves around T'Challa's desire to get revenge on the man that killed his father. That man, Klaw, along with Batroc the Leaper, Juggernaut(a familiar face from X-Men: The Last Stand), the Vatican Black Knight, and the Russian Radioactive man, are aiming at taking over Wakanda for its technology and resources.

The ENTIRE SERIES is only six episodes long. If you want a quick show to watch, I definitely recommend this one! This animated series is the first motion comic show I've seen. I loved this different take on animation. The action in this is great, there's TONS of blood, and the story is rather great.

X-Men: Worst Class

When X-Men: First Class first came out this past June, I went straight to theaters to see it. I absolutely love any and all superhero movies, and I personally own all four previous X-Men movies AND the original animated series. So yeah, I went opening weekend to see it. And I thought it was the absolute worst X-Men movie of the franchise. And tonight, I watched it again, this time in the comfort of my own home, thinking maybe I missed something the first time around that everyone else apparently fell in love with. But nope. 

I was very disappointed that the only original cast members in this were Rebecca Romijn and Hugh Jackman, and they only had ten second cameos, without those cameos, I would never had watched this movie a second time. And my favorite X-Men (Storm) didn't have the screen time she deserved.

My biggest question: Why did the James McAvoy-version of Professor X constantly have the need to touch his head when using his ability? I do not recall the Patrick Stewart-version of Professor X ever doing that.. and James McAvoy didn't do it just once in awhile, he did it ALL THE FREAKING TIME! =/ Why? It seemed like James McAvoy was waaaay overacting on his part. 

With this film, James McAvoy has climbed the latter to becoming one of my least favorite actors. He's just horrible. 

I do not see how this movie is having such good reviews. Hopefully the sequel to this will impress me more.. they won't have to do much to do that. 


(Even the poster for the film is poorly made.. Photoshop at its worst!)
