The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Review

Last week (it might have been the week before, I just happened to notice last week), Walmart released Volumes 1-4 of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on DVD. And for ten bucks each, I couldn't pass on them =)

In just a couple days, I have concluded watching all twenty-six season one episodes. I thought all the heroes were portrayed perfectly. Especially how stealthy they made the Black Panther out to be, most of the time I forgot he was there, and when he did appear it was a "whoa" moment. Haha! Only problem I had was how BORING The Wasp was. The only time she seemed really bad-ass, was when she took her gigantic form.. which was once. Most of the time she seemed really petty, and was just a damsel in distress. She should not have had as much screen time as she did.

What made me the happiest, was that Iron Man wasn't made out to be the most important character in the show, which is what happened with the live action Avengers film. I'm probably the only person who will admit to this, but I hate Iron Man. I find his character annoying, in both live-action and animation.

The cameos by the Fantastic Four made me really wish they'd get a new animated series! Seriously, somebody make this happen.

What's great about me finishing all of season one today.. is that the first thirteen episodes of season 2 come out in a Volume 5 DVD set tomorrow (as does the live-action movie!)! I'll get that after work tomorrow, and let ya'll know what I think.

You all should watch this show. It's awesome.

Aaahhh!!! Real Monsters!!

After almost a decade and a half of being off the air, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters finally comes to DVD thanks to Shout! Factory. I've made it a goal of mine to get all the DVD releases of the old Nickelodeon shows Shout! releases on DVD, and I was doing very well. Until all of a sudden, the stores in my area, Walmart, Target, even Best Buy, stopped selling these releases, old and new. I have no clue what happened there, but it made it very difficult to get the DVDs, as I wished to get them on the day they were released. Most recently, Walmart isn't even selling newer releases online. I don't know how Shout! is expecting to make money off these with such limited releases.

Today I ordered the newest releases of The Angry Beavers, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Danny Phantom, and Hey Arnold all online.

Also finished season 2 of Real Monsters today. It has become one of my favorite older cartoons, and I had never even heard of the show before Shout! started releasing it on DVD last October. The only thing I really don't like about these releases, is that there are no special features! >:(

For those who don't know, it's a pretty dark show, like Invader Zim, that centers around a trio of monsters that are in school for the art of scaring humans. The show takes events and obstacles that happen in our every day lives, and twists them to what they might be like if monsters truly did exist. This is a show I'd recommend to any cartoon lover like myself! :)

Life: Updated!.. Again!

I havn't been on since January (So to the two people that might read this: I'm sorry.) I just wanted to say heyyyy :) And say that I'm going to try and be on more like in the beginning :)

Will just say that I've been put up to full time at work, Sean and I just celebrated our one year three days ago :3 we're moving at the end of May to a new apartment (maybe in the same apartment complex, but hopefully not), and I'm (fingers crossed) starting Parkland in June =)

I THOUGHT that I only had to get a letter from work saying that I've worked 35+ hours per week in the past 30 days to be listed as in-district (thus, saving me $1200), HOWEVER >.< I found out that I have to do that PLUS get a notarized letter from my mom saying she no longer claims me as a dependent, a letter from my roommates saying I've lived here since January, and a voter registration card and my driver's license listed as me living in this area >.> fml. I got the work letter, and yesterday got the letter from my mom and the roommates.. now for the DL and VR part :o ugh

So that's all folks ;)

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
