Also I don't know if anybody's filed taxes yet but I did and I am freaking annoyed. Probably going to have to talk to payroll about holding out more of my check for federal taxes because I wound up having to pay in the low triple digits this year and my state tax return was only like less than 20 bucks

So who else is seen the Borderlands trailer? I have some mixed feelings about it, on one hand I feel like I'll probably enjoy it well enough. I'm not exactly expecting High art or anything as long as it's something I can turn my brain off for and just kind of relax and enjoy it I'll be fine but on the other hand the casting decisions seem a little off. like Kevin Hart as Roland just doesn't feel like it fits at all and Tina feels a little toned down/ less manic than in the games
I'm sure Jack Black is going to be fine as claptrap I just wish he changed his voice up a little because when claptrap is talking all I hear is Jack Black. I do question why they couldn't get a sound alike for claptrap from the games cuz I'm pretty sure the original voice actor either passed away or is somehow unable to do it right now I can't remember right off top but I'm sure there's someone out there who can do a solid impression.

Wow, been a while. I did watch Hazbin, I loved it. Some of the voicesd weren't as great as Pilot, but who doesn't love Stephanie Beatriz? Aka Rosa Diaz! Some things could have been better sure, like a few more episodes xD
I did see the Borderlands trailer, looks trash, sadly, like all hollywood video game movies. I love Cate Blanchett but just no... I guess it shows the younger actresses didn't want to be apart of it, so they had to get the oldies in to play chars 3 times their younger. The OG Claptrap VA fell out with some higher ups I think? But the replacement was okay. Could have got either, but Jack Black is the *in* guy right now, even though he only has 1 voice, which is a cool voice, love me some Jack Black, his Bowser was great, but not feeling it.
I replayed Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core last week, gave me chills again, replaying Final Fantasy VII Remake, it's so good, loving it again. All for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth coming tomorrow! Holy fuck I cannot wait!

Holy fuck I cannot wait! yeah it's been a while I hope you're doing really well Yeah I wish they would have had more episodes too but apparently Eight Episodes is the current industry standard or at least the standard for a lot of new shows I forget the names of them but I saw a list where they were several eight different shows that had eight episodes starting seasons Maybe if it gets two or three more they might have more episodes. Yeah the Borderlands movie really doesn't look that great in the trailers and I keep kind of flip-flopping on my opinion of it I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it well enough it'll honestly be like maybe a movie rental or something I pick up for like $5 or something

Oh so far nothing much interesting has happened lately. We had a meeting Friday at work that covered a bunch of new procedure changes. Different ways they want us to handle situations and a rundown of what chemicals we can and can't use. I'll say this not a lot of my teachers are thrilled about it, especially the ones on the Pre-K side they are very very opinionated on the topic of our procedure changes and how much they are not a fan of them.

I know it's been like a day or two but I'm still mad at one of the teachers at school. The woman's a freaking sadist and I'm pretty sure she hates the children she teaches. She had me watch her class for a few minutes at the end of the day day before yesterday so she could run to the restroom and that's when I saw that apparently about half a dozen kids or so we're being punished for failing their AR test.... She was making them stand up in front of the whole class and hold a freaking t-pose with their arms out for I don't know how long at that point I know at least one of them was crying. Honestly I'm hoping she freaking goes ahead and retires because I can't see her being there another year

In more positive news I finally collected extended Editions for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I've slowly been collecting classic DVDs and stuff for a while now and I know I could have probably just found them online but I don't know there's just something exciting about finding a random thing I've been looking for in Walmart because they just so happened to release it. Kind of like how I picked up a copy of Tombstone from the $5 bill after years of searching

Things have been going pretty decent lately. My half sister just had a birthday and it was pretty fun. At one point we got on four player split screen on Star Wars Battlefront II classic and did like half a galactic Conquest campaign and before we had to head out.
Aside from that works going okay though the new boss running the place for the last few months is I guess finally starting to be comfortable enough to make his own policy changes and stuff because he's been a little bit more nitpicky than he used to be nothing too severe but always feel like I'm about to be in trouble for one thing or another because he kind of has RBF and I can barely tell what movies in half the time even when he's seemingly happy and joking with you it almost sounds forced.

So I hope finally getting around to watching the Lord of the Rings extended Editions I've only ever seen the theatrical version. Did some quick math and added all the runtimes together and apparently if you watch all three of these back to back it takes a little over 12 hours.... That'll make for one hell of a fun watch party

I tell you what I'm glad I decided to go to the doctor I mean not that I had much of a choice my boss told me I needed a work release before I could come back to work but still. Short version is I've been dealing with a severe sinus issue for days now and apparently the pressure built up so much it was messing with my equilibrium in the inner ear and stuff caused me to have a busy spell at work than it freaked everybody out. Feeling better now though probably going to keep taking the stuff the doctor gave me for the next few days to make sure but probably by the end of the week I should be better

I hope all of you are doing well and had a great Easter holiday weekend. I'm currently right in the middle of spring break I only had to work one day this week so I got the rest of the holiday off until next Monday at least. Going back to work is going to be a little bittersweet because I know my boss is planning on moving me to a different hallway in the school.
Which kind of sucks because I spent the last 2 years working pre-K and first grade and he said he's going to be moving me up to 5th and 6th grade. On one hand it's probably going to be easier to keep clean but I'm going to miss some of my teacher friends and it's going to be really really annoying to move all of my personal stuff upstairs because I spent two years getting my closet just the way I want it and that includes the whole bunch of extra storage stuff that doesn't normally go in there. Oh well c'est la vie.

Well spring break is officially over. It's been fun but I'll be happy to get back in the routine of work. Didn't really do much nothing but I guess that's kind of the point of a vacation. Hope everybody is still doing well and maybe I'll hear from y'all soon.

That'll make for one hell of a fun watch party My dude, I used to make it a yearly thing, watching the extended editions back to back. Oh what a wonderful time it always was. I need to do it again at some point, as I got older. there just never seems to be enough time anymore... Boy, are you a trooper, I keep saying it, keeping this place alive xD How are you? work going alright?

Boy, are you a trooper, I keep saying it, keeping this place alive xD How are you? work going alright? hey welcome back! Yeah work is going good. So far the boss man hasn't shuffled us to different Halls so he might be waiting until the summertime after school lets out which would be preferred. Also yeah I know we've had one or two of the theatrical Editions but I've always been looking for the extended editions and Walmart finally have them. I'm just glad I was able to get my brother into them. He watched each movie with me and enjoyed all of them even said he would consider watching them again which if you knew him was definitely High praise. Aside from that I got some happy news, it was looking like one of our older cats was going to pass away or something over this weekend but she seems to be doing better we think the reason her throat and stuff swell up was because she got like an abscess in her mouth or something but I guess it popped because the swelling is going down and she's drinking again. I was also able to get over a stomach virus in what feels like record time compared to my family. they all had it for like 2 or 3 days and were basically incapacitated not wanting to get up or do anything. I ended up getting it for like an afternoon and last night woke up this morning and was starting to feel better by this afternoon I was fine again. But yeah I do what I can to keep the lights on around here just in case y'all decide to pop back in and say hi.

So I decided to start replying the Resident Evil 2 remake. Apparently I didn't get very far only like 30 minutes in my first time playing before taking a four-year break according to the save file. Running through again today I realized why I decide to play it smaller chunks because that game is stressful as all hell definitely going to try and finish it this time
