Hmmm... Since Apple did sell that millionth Ipod or whatever-

[grassangel]

I might as well treat all of you OL friends with a rant by me. 
Really this is a post to say I'm alive and not doing much and there hasn't been anything interesting going on in my life. Well, except for the fact I'm procrastinating over posting icons because OHGOD I have something like two hundred. 
I think I'll go sort out my Photobucket before I do anything....

Anyway, my lovely rant about small things handed out in paper tubes and ipods follow. Plus my commentary on Bleach episodes 118 and 119. If you want those screencaps I took, just tell me. I'll upload 'em somewhere and tell you where.

Sometimes, people in large crowds seem EXTREMELY dumb and stupid.

Today at the train station as I was walking up to the bus stop, some people were giving out things. FAST. As in about one every two seconds. Anyway they were small paper covered rolls. I saw that they were Quick-eze, a heart-burn treatment and wondered why they were giving them out.
I didn't get one, although I was tempted as my dad does sometimes use them. However, continuing up the steps and at the actual bus stop, I was amazed at the fact people thought they were mints. They were eating them and were amazed by the fact they didn't taste nice.
I don't even think they read the label….

Moral of the story: Anything that is sold in small rolled paper tubes, that are white compressed tablets is not always a mint.

Or…

People are stupid in large groups, especially with free stuff.

Next thing.

I hate iTunes. I HATE it. Apple is conspiring to take over your life and computer with iPods and iTunes. iPods because they're everywhere and make you want to buy them because everyone else has one. (I don't ever want one. Except maybe for the new shuffles because they're cute and colourful, but they're only shuffles and not useful at all)

PLUS they have a stupid format which means you need something secondary like Winamp or RealPlayer or VLC or CCCP or even Irfanview to play those weird files. (Hey look! Five programs which run them! 3 of which a person should have one of!) If you even managed to get the files on your iPod off in the first place. (Just switch on viewing hidden files and go into your precious iPod. They're sneaky like that. Even if you do have to figure out what song is which because iTunes changes the file names so they're 4 letter combinations.)
But you don't have to use iTunes to put stuff on your iPod. Winamp can do it and they make it easier to get files off. No encryption with titles (If I recall correctly) and they're not hidden. (Even though they're in a hidden folder)
So you can live without both an iPod and iTunes. (There is always the other brand MP3 players which allow you to have assorted file types and allow you to record stuff and so on. Plus some plug straight into your computer)

However, if you are the unfortunate owner of a laptop with iTunes automatically installed before you even bought it, you have a problem.
THERE IS NO UNINSTALL FILE.
Unless somehow I've deleted it, there is none. And it irritates me. Apple is obviously forcing this unwanted program onto me and leaving it there like a… trojan or something. (OMG it's bad and probably sueable if said like that)
No, I don't want to delete it, because that may cause system instability. But there is no other way to uninstall it.
And I shall reiterate: THIS IRRITATES ME TO NO END. APPLE IS STUPID. (Although really really smart for worming it's way into pop culture)

 So yeah, I don't like the iPod or anything i. Except for that cool icon that says iZen. And anything that would go like: i-LikePie.
I like g stuff instead. Even though gmail is acting stupid on my laptop. (Google is cool. Gaia's kinda lame cool. But I'm really talking about the former anyway.)
Oh and iTunes is even stupider for taking something like 4 years to bring a iTunes store to NZ. Yay for four years of alternative music sources. We can live without you. Vee ken lif widout joo!
Sorry iTunes but werule. We rule so hard.

Oh and the iPhone is even stupider. Just buy a smartphone.

Okay… So we're up to episode 118 of Bleach, 'Course this doesn't really make sense, because I haven't done previous episodes but eh. I needed to catch up and what better incentive than to than writing a commentary.
Okay same old intro, Rolling Star, we're due another one soon. If anyone has looked closely at the the dining scene you can see two bottle things, and Urahara through the door.I still love the GinRan moment….

Guh. A long introduction.
But this is one of the cool episodes in the middle of the fights.

Keigo! He looks so miserable. Now, is that name thing an eleventh thing or just a shinigami? He does feel pride in being 11th. He introduced himself as part of Zaraki corps.
Oooh.. Cool music. AWESOME. We are SO due another OST.

Second strongest MAN.
Oooh, Yumi's so cold. I think he's purposefully dettaching himself… It's somewhat cold. But at least Keigo understands now.
Oh, we love you ambidextrous Ikkaku. Of course he messed up, he's an eleventh. Ugh, do we need a long mental talk? Even though we get to see him pull out a few of his teeth and talk about seeing Akon to get new ones?

I wonder if 'attacks' are like Irish dancing 'steps'…. No, he figures out how much you like to battle. .

Yay! Spanishy music! And can I just say the transformation is COOL. And then we switch to Ichigo and Grimmy. This would've been good to do a commerical break as it has a weird break.

I want to see Wanderweiss.

THE HAND THING! He does a hand stab! (Grimmjow)
From Edorad's explanation… It seems as if Hitsu's bankai is very much like that of Arrancar's.
Cost of buildings. So cold…. Yumi just made his call.

But but… he startled when Keigo said So that means he's going to die? <--- More evidence for those IkkaYumi shippers.
Oooh, I LOVE the lip synching on him them. That was lovely on Edorad's seiyuu. OOOHH..
I have to say, if I didn't know better, I would say yes to Keigo's question.
This is an episode for pyros. Lotsa flame.
Wow. Just wow. Ikkaku! Bankai! Yay! *squeals in happy general Bleach fangirl way* Sparking powerlines! Oooh! Pretty eye! *goes off to screen cap*

I don't even want to know what he's got.. He's got like twelve metric tones of reiatsu. And an anklet. Oooh, his is on a chain… His bankai I mean. Similar to… Ukitake's I think. Somewhat.
All the blood has half-rubbed off. He's berserking. Houzukimaru seems rather… unlike Ikkaku, but you can tell he's been having long talks with it. *nods and approves*
Same old end. I still find it funny that Isshin and Ryuuken appear on the line "We met in middle school and shared a hundred year love" *cracks up*The supervision team still annoys me.

YAY! Flashback! And random Ichigo asking about fifteen in Spanish.

OMAKE: Byakuya wants to go to Women's association meetings? And he smiled! *flails and wails*

You know… I think the place where the people are dining, glomping and just standing around are all the same place. Koibito! As Hichigo is flashing by. Ah.. People were bugging them about the next episode.

Yay! Flashback! And people are scared of Ikkaku. But pretty music. Yumi's got pretty hair. "It isn't beautiful" Oh, how love that. But he actually obeyed that… And.. Gah. <-- more evidence.
*is fangirling over long haired Yumi still* He's a bishy here. Not so much now, but long hair he fills the definition.
Yay! Yachiru. She's SO CUTE! OH MY GOD. That's freaking awesome Ken-chan. And he looks girly standing like that… Where as we can see that Yumi's got muscles. Wel… Kind of. His yukata isn't a wide open as Kenpachi's or Ikkaku's. What's this? Yumi has kind of choppy hair. And I get the feeling that Yumi and Yachiru will be the bestest of friends. Oooh… Ouch.

Ohh, flashforward. Yachiru, this is a life lesson, if someone looses, they do not have to die. I am sure you will hold this with you for the rest of your life.
Ohh random babble about life and luck and loosing and death. Yachiru could stand. And she's wearing a winter robe. <--- Indication of how much Kenpachi cares for her?
Seems to me Kenpachi has this thing about inspiring people to Live and to Fight and to Come try and kill him.

Ooh new music. And Yumi has a sword. Plus a hair tie. And BANGS! Oooh I love this music.
I think I love Yumi before way too much. But I blame the music. . But he ties his kimono like a girl. 

Yachiru is so graceful.

OH MY GOD. I LOVE THIS scene. Hehe. I was right. Yachiru and Yumi are the best of friends. Yachiru is so freaking adorable. Oooh Hydra. I want to see Yachiru fight!
They do all love Yachiru. Punishment for getting into fight? Psh. It's funny hearing Renji being so formal.

Red and yellow shikai. Oooh bankai talk.
He and Yumi have somewhat similar styles. Deception. Renji looks drunk. There are THREE women in there as he's walking past.
But what if you defeated Zaraki what about then?
Zaraki has bright yellow aura. So much thug love this episode. So much, it's freaking awesome.

Fall…And that is some ass-kick.
And AGAIN, we see that Ikkaku and Yumi are the bestest for friends because they have no honorifics when reffering to each other. Oh GODS what the hell was that. *shudders*

So my thoughts in general. There are pretty musics, which make me drool. I love the 11th and their quirks. Yumi looks weird without the feathers and orange thing. His look should either be long, or what we know.

Yachiru's cute. And elegant. But she needs to fight. Zaraki looks humane with loose hair. There ARE women in the eleventh. Or at least I think so. There is ass kick.

It's kinda funny... you have reminisces on a train, I have musings from a bus window... And quickeze taste nice.

[grass-angel.livejournal.com]

Well, 'Reminisces on a train' is simply the continuation of Morning After.
I actually do have something similar though. 'Life, the Universe and Everything on a train ride'
There's no way I'm going to write all that down though.

"I wonder if 'attacks' are like Irish dancing 'steps'…. No, he figures out how much you like to battle. ."
lol

[grass-angel.livejournal.com]

What? Ikkaku said it'd take only three more attacks and the Edorad went on about how Ikkaku likes to battle.
