A big bloggie update

Aside from posting little bits of info, I'm slowing down a bit on my blog. I still can't believe that it's almost December, it's like in two days! There was a little bit of snow, but nothing to make a big deal about it yet.

So, how to start?

DOGGIE: General
Went to the doctor, had a couple tests and I have to go again next Tuesday. They can't tell what's up. Up until like maybe Thursday or Friday (yesterday), the coughing had been slowing down. Yesterday I did a little bit of post-Thanksgiving cleaning but I don’t think I rested enough and felt so tired around 1, 2 or 3 p.m. And I slept through the entire Saturday morning.

Also have stupid issues with a haphazard internet connection and my printer and scanner can’t work because I can’t find the program CD for it. It’s very troublesome when there is a place or two I’ve checked where it’s required for me to print a job application.

DUMB & Youtube
I really detest dumb people. We all have dumb moments; we mess up on our math, we get lost, forget out to spell, etc. But the type of dumb people I’m thinking about those with that lack of shame and fat ego. I also hate that image being given out that Americans are just frickin stupid, and these people online (and intentional media?) are widening that stereotype.

YouTube! Needless to say, there are some annoying people on there. But, but, how could they not know that snakes have sex? That’s not what is getting to me, but it’s their comments. "OMG THEY FUK?!" Yeah! "SNAKE S@#^@!" What are you, five?! I hope they are not serious. Then others snap at each other and they fight back, and there’s no end. If you curious, I was just looking at a vid of someone’s pet snake laying eggs. It looked painful but it was impressive.

I don’t think that I could have a pet snake, lol.

Why like POKeMON?
Been playing FireRed. Got a male Pikachu, A male Charmander and a female Butterfree. It’s PKMN Red with updated races, attacks, graphics, etc.

Voice Actor - related
1.) A favorite from the "new school" although I think he's been doing this for a little over 10 years now, Jun Fukuyama finally has a blog. Haha, "Hola Amigo!" Him and his red hat. And happy belated birthday to him and Nakai Kazuya (25th).

2.) (NEW) English VOICE ACTOR AWARDS POLLING

Pretty amazing. I think it creates good marketing and I think it is very kind but is it a set-up? (lol!).. But, by the looks of the rules here, I can only pick one actor/actress? ONLY ONE?! I can only pick one? That is so difficult. It's not even split into genders? I should ask myself, which voice actor/actress from Japan has influenced me the most in the year 2008 maybe late 2007? I haven’t watched a lot. So I would have to go with songs, the miniscule amount of shows I’ve seen in 2007-2008 (or first few eps) especially if they are recent aired ones, and specific scenes that caught my attention. Or maybe I check out blogs and such.

Suzuki Chihiro: It’s very slow but I just might start liking. Appeared in Tales of Abyss, Busou Renkin

Koyama Rikiya: Appearing much in games and anime, including NARUTO, Fate/stay night, and in japanese dub of ER.

Hiroki Touchi: He appears much and I think I’m starting to like him a bit. Aside from D.grayman, there’s Gundam 00, Black Butler, ..Hack, TRINITY BLOOD, where he plays a very geeky main character.

Kazuhiko Inoue: Being introduced to LEGENDZ by Rika, where inoue plays a little dragon, that turns into a big dragon, and also plays an evil dragon. I love his evil voice. And of course there’s Hatake Kakashi. And checking out a few old shows like Machine Robo. I think Japanese fans are addicted to Romu Stohl and his line, "kisama ra ni nanoru namae wa nai！" (貴様らに名乗る名前は無い！) *mask on*. It's so corny-funny :] Wow, he’s sure played a lot of heroes. I can deal with that justice voice/yell anytime; apparently did well in DARKER THAN BLACK. Maybe he can get a Synergy award.

Kusao Takeshi: Not sure what he’s been doing lately aside from Keroro, but I like his singing. Saw a couple things on Kabutack and I did his WIKI article; there’s also Lamune but it's an old char.

Hino Satoshi and Sugiyama Noriaki: I think one of them should get a rookie award.

Yamaguchi Kappei: Did he get an award should? for L?

Nobuyuki Hiyama: Been appearing much lately, like in Gurren Lagann as Viral and in Blastritter. There's also BLEACH's Madarame Ikkaku. Annd I think he's on his 20th year in VAing.

Konishi Katsuyuki: He appears too much to be honest, but there’s Komui Lee (D.grayman) and Kamina; also made appearences in BLEACH, BLOOD+, Samurai Deepr Kyo and does a lot of pokemon.

Kuwashima Houko: [ ... ]

What should I do?

Gundam Series
Next is Gundam 00, English version and recent aired episodes. Like I said, been watching Mobile Suit Gundam 00 with high interest. Also, the ending theme "Prototype" is so depressing, especially when played after those sad scenes (like ep 6 or 7 I think?)

( Gundam 00. Sypnosis (some SPOILERS) )

And, I forgot the link to the article but I heard that Japan is making something, or along the lines of, a gundam academy?

So what...does that mean? They are trying to construct something remotely similar to a gundam? I think that’s awesome but terrifying at the same time. Armoured Core anyone? BLUE GENDER? If small robots, tanks and combat planes can be built, maybe it’s possible. I would really dig a Kyrios. I can imagine something like Turn A or the original "Amuro Gundam", with the big spiked mace.
