I Need To Lay Off The Hooligans!

He's young* but I like him.



That's right, he's another ugly Brit. Uh, not that Matt's an ugly Brit. That's not what I meant! Nor is Alex, really! He's a cutie.

*note: I swear I'm not pulling an MC.

Currently listening to: "Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts" by Arctic Monkeys. I hope I don't get screwed over in May because I'm really excited right now. TD5! A.M. in NYC May (I'm guessing) and MUSE @ WS in June! Saweeet! Oh yeah, I meant to tell you that LCD Soundsystem will be here sometime too. April, I think it was. But who cares about that?

A Whole Lotta Asses

Got your attention, yes? Well, ha! Foiled! 90% of you will not be interested at all in this post but I'm not really doing it for you.

This here, is the Bleach Fanatical Post of Our Favourite Characters ("our" being Beetchie and Or 2! - we've discussed the categories and how we'd break it down. This is going to tough to decide...so tough)!!!! Oh and Gen, contribute! If you want me to post it on here, e-mail it to me or you can leave it in the comment section if you so desire.

Everyone's an ass in this show but they all have certain degrees of assiness.

Or 2's List of the "Asses" -

Top 5 Asses

1. Hitsugaya Toshiro, The 10th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13. Ahh, my favourite. What's there for me to not love about a bitchy, silver spikey-headed kid?

2. Rukia - I said it before and I'll say it again...Shinigami and their bunnies.

3. Byakuya Kuchiki, The 6th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13. Those clips are hotness. Don't deny, people. Don't deny.

4. Ichigo Kurosaki- his name is not Bleach, HOchie 1!

5. Jushiro Utikate - he's quiet, got white hair and sickly. As Beetchie put it, if I were to be a Captain, I'd be him.

Honourable mentions: Zaraki Kenpachi, The 11th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13 - Yeah. He runs around looking for fights but he's clever and cool in his own right. Truth be told, he probably made this list thanks to the bells.

Ishida Uryu - so I like the nerd with the glasses who keeps talking about Quincy pride. Sue me.

Top 5 Evil AssHats - Two Cheeks, Was It?

They're cute, they're funny, they're crazy motherchuckers. And I've paired them because I realize they shine when together, not to mention it makes it easier for me to cheat. Heh Heh Heh.

1. Ikkaku Madarame & Yumichika Ayasegawa - from afro hair to wigs, shiny bald heads, crazy dancing, crazy chanting, wooden sword weilding, air sniffing and onigiri - these two are the best.

2. Ichigo Kurosaki & Rukia Kuchiki. I love Rukia! But I love her more when she's ragging on her boy.

3. Rangiku Matsumoto - so she isn't in a pair but she's got enough to stand on her own. Yes. I said it. And meant it. She 'molests' everybody. This B. is crazy. Love her!

4. Yourichi and Urahara Kisuke - they show up to 'help' after everything is done. You can't get any more asshattish than that. And look, one of them is referred to as "Sandle-Hat"! It's fitting, it really is.

5. Shunsui Kyoraku, The 8th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13. He's another stand alone asshat. His chasing after women, sake drinking, pink clad self is hilarious.

Honourary Mention: Isshin Kurosaki - it's hard to find a place for him now that he's so freakin' awesome! Creepy, 'old' man turned kick ass, still creepy 'old' man!

Top 5 Bad-Asses

1. Aizen Sosuke, the former 5th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13 - He messed with EVERYBODY. Oh what a bitch and I certainly didn't see it coming. He's evil to the core and I love him for it. After Toshiro, he's my second favourite captain.

2. Shinji Hirako - okay, so maybe he isn't truly bad. But he's cool and I'll leave him here for now since he's not exactly on the side of the Shinigami (though quite frankly, them Soul Society bitches are messed up). He has Vash The Stampede's voice (Masaya Onosaka), of course I love him.

3. Ichigo's Hollow - what an asshole. But a bad-assed asshole!

4. Ichimaru Gin, former 3rd Squad Captain of the Gotei 13 - that smirk! Damned fox face!

5. Ulquiorra - he's quiet and knows his limits. But I really like him because his eyes are green and his hair is jet black, and no, not because he can actually pull his eyeball out.

*This list could change because that whole Arrancar thing just started and goodness knows I expect some more bad-asses to show up.

Supporting Asses

1. Kon - Kon! Kon! Kon! I love his stupid ass. I love when he's in plushie form and I love him when he's in Ichigo's body. It's impossible to not love him. Seriously. He's a mascot for the show and he knows it. It's a blatant plug if ever we did see one but that's what makes it even cooler.

2. Asano Keigo - I feel bad that Ikkaku roughed him up but his constant whining about how he's being ignored and soon to be friendless cracks me up. There's also his stupidity about seeing things that shouldn't be. No, Asano, it's not a filming of a movie. Ha, what a great guy.

3. Hanataro - awww. He's so lame it's painful to watch sometimes but he's a sweetie. No, Beetchie, I am not a member of the 4th Squad!

4. Nova - he's so quiet and sweet. I love when he gets all shy and zips up his mask. I know we probably won't see much of him anymore but I'll have my memories.

5. Tsubaki - Any asshole who bitch slaps Orihime around and tells her like it is (you know, that she's a stupid bitch) deserves to be applauded.

Assbacks

This is the list of my most hated characters.

1. Orihime. Useless bitch.
2. Tousen. Useless, boring asshole.
3. Mayuri. He scares me.
4. Yamamoto. The 1st Squad Captain is kind of boring, yeah?
5. Yami. Of the Arrancar, he's the worst thus far.

S6 Probably Sucks Because There's No More Tony A.

S6 24 HC continues and again, I've not much to say other than,

4 PM to 5 PM:

1. Alright, so that guy made that bomb like nobody's buisness. Security should have suspected him though 'cause any highlighter not bearing the sharpie name should be suspected as housing dangerous chemicals to recreate bombs!

2. That "thing" the Russians had in the crate, looked just like a toilet to me. Kind of like a toilet one would find on the Enterprise. Nuclear device, was it? Yeah, probably.

Head Count: Unsure. Could be 1. But speaking of the Enterprise, please, please, please don't let Dr. Bashir be dead. =,(

Currently listening to: "Red Rabbits" by The Shins. I'm not sure how I feel about these The Shins. They're good to listen to sometimes but I'm sure, like Modest Mouse, if I ever ended up at a concert of their's for whatever reason, I'd be added to some sort of Head Count from the coma.

What's Up With Bands and Their Love of The Ocean?

And pirates? And ships?

I saw three videos tonight and one a few days ago that all had similiar themes. Three of those were all those indie type alternative bands: Blue Monday, Modest Mouse and The Shins. I can't say I really cared for Blue Monday but the other two videos were pretty good.

As for the 4th, that was just MUSE being lazy by being on that ship. Far Away. Taking Me...far away.

He Looks Awfully Familiar, That Marv...

I love Marv. He reminds me of someone else but I can't...quite...place...it...

The Hooligan face...



The crazy hair...



The keyboard...



Oh. Right.

Ugly in Life, Ugly as a Hollow, Ugly as an Arrancar

It's the Bleach Weekly Photo Post that *sort of contains spoilers*! Episode 116!

Some of those Arrancar are kind of hideous.

There's Shawlong:



Edorad (or Edward as it sounded like to me):



and Nakim (the ugliest of them all! Thug!):



But for every ugly Arrancar, there's a good-looking one (thank goodness 'cause my eyes were startin' to hurt). So I guess things even out.

Droy (what a stupid ass name):



Ilforte:



and of course, Grimmjow



But let it be known that I hate that freakin' Grimmjow because he called my Ulqiu. stupid! So what if he can do that freaky eye thing I don't like to think about or that Grimmjow is right about just killing them one time because we all know Ichigo's going to be problems later. Stop proving your point!

Hmmm, I think I need to start doing Kon abuse counts for the week. So here goes! Kon Abuse Sighting: 1 scene.



Dearest Gen,

Have no fear! The really fantastic pictures are all captured even if not in this post. Expect the good stuff posted on your space soon...heh heh heh.

Oh and does anyone else think it really cute that Yumi sniffed out that Hollow?

I Failed...Again.

I couldn't say anything to my kid. (Yes, HOchie 1, the side profile works out for me but the front not so much. He might just be an HK). I do have one thing to say about my kid though: he's as skinny as that twix he was eating.

Itunes - Some The Times Coolness

I happened upon it a few weeks ago but Itunes now carries almost the entire Final Fantasy Discography. How awesome is that?! I mean, I already have the stuff after years of collecting (all thanks to Bughie J.!) but still, that's pretty sweet. I'll have to see if they carry anime soundtracks as well, and of course, other video game soundtracks.

Nerd Rant Ends Now.

Currently listening to: "Dancing Mad" from the Final Fantasy VI Soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu

FFXII Is Distracting Me

The 24 HC is not going to be a long post tonight:

3 PM to 4 PM:

All I have to say is, UK cats love their whiskey.

Chad Lowe is a mess.

and Logan no longer looks like Nixon or is that how Nixon would look with a beard?

Head Count - 2.

It is no longer "SF". It is now "SAF".

The word 'ass' is in there somewhere. Figure it out.

To HOchie 1:

The music of MUSE is not the kind that kills people.

Currently listening to: "Survivalism" by Nine Inch Nails. Ignore the song title! Stupid NIN for working against me.

There's Something Very Wrong with USA

Maybe it's just me but any television channel that tries to pass of Patch Adams as a romantic comedy seems rather...wrong.

Currently listening to: X with classic quotes such as "Maybe you didn't stick that swab (Zycam) far enough up your nose?" and "I don't know, I would have totall shot him in the leg." and

Or 2: I think it's disturbing they mixed that classical piece.
X: I think it's great, 'oh yeah! get down!' You know some rappers are gonna be all over that!
Or 2: Yeah, my fear is that they're going to start remixing every damned piece of classical music they're going to get their hands on.
X: Well they are running out of things to remix.

Bleach Post - Episode 115

**Spoilers, kind of***

For Gen!

I've decided to post a weekly fan-girl Bleach blog full of the memorable and/or cute scenes from our favourite anime.

This week: ALL HAIL FRIENDS!



Even though they do enjoy kicking us in the face... (Rukia, why do you always have to be a little bitch?!)

It's all about the kind of friends who are 'suspect' at best:



Honestly, though, if you know they're suspect, why would you mess with them? You deserve whatever you get, Stupids!



And Ichigo...



seriously, you're right...is it some sort of a picnic?

Now for the picture post on Frenemies!



Just leave my Captain alone!



What a cutie.

Finally, a picture post on enemies, of the animated hotness variety -





Damnable hot, traitor!

"Go and Save Yourself...

Chris Cornell to Leave Audioslave

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chris Cornell is leaving rock group Audioslave, citing "irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences."

"I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavors," Cornell said Thursday in a statement.

An after-hours call to Audioslave's music label was not immediately returned.

Cornell, 42, a former singer and guitarist with Seattle grunge band Soundgarden, said he'll release a solo album May 1 called "Carry On." He also co-owns a restaurant in Paris, where he splits his time.

Audioslave was formed in 2001 and comprised of Cornell and three former members of Rage Against the Machine. The group recorded three albums and performed in Havana in 2005.

Meanwhile, Rage Against the Machine planned to reunite to perform at this year's Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival, which runs April 27 through 29. Tom Morello, the lead guitarist of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, has said the concert is a one-shot deal.

...And take it out on me."

Needless to say, The HOchieS are in mourning.

We knew that something was up when there was no tour for the last album. We're thankful that we did see them in concert (goodness knows that was one of the best - way better than Matisyahu)

Or 2 is placing the blame on Chris, while HOchie 1 is citing Sweet D as the cause of the break up. I had to correct her and tell her that it's Vicki.

*Editors' Note: Now H1 is citing TomOno as the cause of the breakup.

Whatever the case may be, they'll all be alright. Chris is an awesome vocalist, awesome being an understatement. My Rage boys are fantastic, fantastic being an understatement.

Our only hope is that this means there might be the second coming or RATM. The HOchies can dream...

Quotes & Conversations of the day, on Audioslave -

Bughie J., "at least they weren't one of those bands that sticks together forever and just rehashes old songs onto "new" albums, also they can disperse their talents into a largely talentless music industry and maybe make it a little better!"

Or 2: Call me!

Battler: Wow you never want me to call you. you must be broken-hearted over Tom. I'll try to give you a ring later.

Or 2: nah, just wanted to say hi

Battler: Aw, now i feel really touched. You must be sick.

Currently listening to: "Getaway Car" - Audioslave. ...sniff... R.I.P.

It's the Quote of the Day

"Stupid Aim!" - Or 2.

"Laim?" - Bughie J.

Random Music Related Post

1. The Arctic Monkeys have killed not only my Ipod, but Beetchie's as well. And some random dude we found on the internet.

But I still want to see them when they come to NY.

Again with the assholeness of mcr.

Beetchie and I saw the cover of this month's Spin Magazine the other night and noticed a quote pulled from an interview with my chemical romance (out of sheer disgust and disrespect for this 'band', I will no longer address them with capital letters) plastered on the cover. It read the following,

"Kids were killing themselves until they heard our music."

I am not lying. That is what we saw.

Beetchie's description of them as arrogant assholes is nothing short of fitting.

My response ...

I want to kill myself BECAUSE I heard your music.

Fuck you, mcr.

S6 HC Continues

Yay! Two episodes tonight. It almost feels like old times...

The "Jack Snack" tonight - pork baos.

1 PM to 2 PM:

Let's start a "Morris is the Man! (and not a cat)" Fan Club.

Is it just us or does Jack seem to be losing his jumping skills? That did not look cool when he jumped off the truck.

Umm, that McCarthy's not very smart. 7 million dollars? The HOchieS would do this job for no less than 500 million dollars.

Quote of the night: Once again, C.T.U. Sucks!

Head Count: updated & confirmed - 1 dead. Ah, baldie. You lasted not that long and your crazy ass deserved it.

9. Oohh! That kill was the hardcore, you blonde bitch! but of course, like all blonde bitches on this show - not smart. 7 million dollars?! The HOchieS do that job for no less than 500 million dollars.

2 PM to 3 PM:

OMG! Chloe and Jack are having a moment...awww. I love my bitches. ::sniff:: I love them.







Awww, Chloe and Morris are having a moment...awww. I love my bitches. And this right after Jack and Chloe had their moment. Chloe, you hoey. Scandalous.



Poor Morris. NOW he wishes he had a drill in the head. Tch. That's right, Chloe. You be snarky and bitch slap him!

Ah, this show. It's all about putting the blame on the Muslims and the Russians. Wrong!

Nooo, Milo's out in the field. In the words of Eric Balfour, "it's going to be rough."

The Bauer Family Love Photo Post IV:



I know. That picture is terribly wrong.

And now for a confession - Or 2 has loved Assad...


(ugh, unfortunately, the best picture I got was of him in the split screen with Frankenstein)

...ever since he was Dr. Bashir:



Not to be confused with Texas A&M University Kingsville's Assistant Professor Dr. Bashir, pictured below:



Source: tamuk.edu, on the web

Head Count: oh man, I missed how many went in the damned house! I think it was about 7. Kaboom!

Matisyahu....STILL The Worst Concert Eva'!

Yes, MC. Matisyahu will remain the worst concert. And yes, you still owe me. Big time.

Despite the freezing cold that almost gave our little toes frost bite, we managed to survive long enough to get into Webster Hall to enjoy the show put on by UK down-to-earth, bad-assed cutie Lily Allen.

And even though they were banned and our memory card lives were threatened, I did the Or 2 thing and took pictures with the trust L.O. anyway. Oh, one day I'm going to regret it.

Lily was quite personable. From her Love and Peace session:



to stories of shepherd's pie and burp covering up, 'starlight' sessions?



From the "Heys!!!":



to the "Hos!!!"



and the yager bombs, cigarettes and thunder-thighs:



It was good times. Beetchie had fun times and that's all that mattered. But how could she not? It wasn't Matisyahu! Ha.

Song Quizzie Thingie

Alright, so again, the HOchies have pilfered something off another blog site. heh. heh. Anyway, it looked like fun...sooooo, here it is!

The object of this game is to guess the song names and artists using just the first few lines of the song which I'll give to you. I randomed my playlist and the first 21 songs that came up (with lyrics, obviously, duh) are listed here (21's a lot, yeah. I went a little bit out of control).

Oh and there are no duplicate artists, nor did I put any Japanese or tracks from anime or games (sorry Bughie J.).

My predictions - TD5, you will get most of these unless Battler beats you to it. Gen, you may be the only one to get number 3.

Alright then! All, please post your answers in the comments section!

*And bitches, no googling of lyrics or using any other search engines! Honestly, I thought these were pretty hard but you guys are awesome. I've faith.


1. We don't need no education says a young man,
Sitting in class (sitting in class)

He had beef with some kids and he got shot

2. We were at a party, His ear lobe fell in the deep

3. I'm wearing thin, wearing out becoming weak

21. The mongrel cat came home, holding half a head

Yeah, I can see this could be quite annoying... good luck, guys!

Currently listening to: "Forced In" by Muse. Here's a hint - Muse didn't come up on the playlist so you can rule them out.

Outraged

Muse as a special guest on a My Chemical Romance tour?!

...

This Better Pick Up Soon...

The S6 24 HC again. And there's no excuse for this show to not be going like goo' times because it already had its bad season. Each show is allowed only one bad season and 24's was Season 3!

*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS******SPOILERS*******SPOILERS****** Yep, MC. That means stay away!

12 PM to 1 PM:

"Your words sound hollow"?! Hollows, where?! Man, I need to lay off the Bleach

No wonder Graem's an asshole. His father loves Jack more!

That Josh - he's another ugly blonde kid. Kim's brother, maybe?
Because you know...if it's blonde, ugly and useless - it's gotta be the idiot spawn of Jack Bauer.

I wonder how many takes it took for them to film that scene with Jack before they realized Kiefer wasn't going to get any better at it. Award for worst acting - Kiefer and the "I know hard this is for you to be-lie-ve."

Oh! And the truth comes out! Oh why did I have to hear those names again...sniff.. Palmer...sniff...Almeida..sniff...Dessler.

That's right, Jack. It's okay to cry for your bffs. We understand.

You know this episode was going good until SGDP II showed up. And what's she doing with a cellphone in ICU?! See, another reason for her to be added to the Head Count. She disregards hospital policies!

Ummm, who is this frankenstein of a VP? Scary!



Oh no! Morris!!!!!! I hope next week there'll be so much snark from his mouth, it'll be fantastic.

OMG! Why?! Jack isn't the most loved! Aaaaahhhhhhhhh. Nooooooooo... noooo. Or maybe he is? Oh, confusion!

And now for the "Bauer Family Love Photo Post III":

Here we are, with 'Jack and Phillip off to be executed by goons hired by Graem' -



And here we have Jack pointing a gun at his father (unintentionally...for now!) -



Ah, the second "interrogation of G.B. by J.B." but this time, with a little bit of kindness -



With kindness quickly being forgotten after the confession of the S5 incidents involving bffs (for the picture of the cry session in between, please see further up the blog and yes, there's a difference in the face!)-



And finally, the love a father has for his bald-headed son, who he may have killed, with love (he swears it) -



Head Count: 2 + all members of the back up team (I have no clue how many)

Matisyahu - Still Worse Than Rock Star Supernova

The HOchies concert year ended on a lowlamp in 2006 thanks to MC and Matisyahu.

2007 began with Or 2 going to see Supernova. The very same Supernova made popular by the reality tv series, "Rock Star". Before you all pass judgment, let it be known that this was not Or 2's choice.

Still, it wasn't a horrible show. At least the opening acts were not horrid. Dilana and Magni (and some dude from Dilana's band, whose name I forget) performed an acoustic set which was decent times.

Australian band, Juke Kartel featuring Toby (a contestant on "Rock Star Supernova" performed as well. Although I cannot remember any song that stood out, Toby himself was hilarious, so that was forgiveable.

The Panic Channel were better than anticipated. Although, I'm still fairly unimpressed (and far from being crazy over them like that Aims, and Steve's no where near as cool as Trent Reznor - yes, you can totally gather this from the picture I've taken), it's good to see a good guitarist put down some riffs like nobody's buisness. I mean, he's no Tom Morello but Dave's pretty good...

It was really late once Supernova took the stage. I could have done without the repetitive 'heartfelt' speech Lucas kept giving about how he was nothing and he thanks his fans for making his dreams come true, but I did rather enjoy Sandy Cheeks' gushing over her boy and her jubilant calls of "Luuuuccaaaasss" from the side.

As a whole, I don't think they were fantastic and quite frankly the least entertaining of those who performed that night (because you know, damned Jason Newsted had to go hurt himself and was unable to tour...curse you! Sorry Gilby, Tommy and Black Crowes bassist, but you just weren't) but the light show did blind me a great deal.



That and Tommy Lee with pink tie sans shirt.



Sadly, we had to leave during Tommy's solo set because it was just too damned late and I had a train to catch but I'll say it again -

MC, you owe me.

Matisyahu: still the worst concert ever.

Powerful Logic

HOchie 1: I don't like Ice T. because he's married to CoCo. CoCo is ridiculous. And any man who married CoCo must be ridiculous too. Nick Lachey was also ridiculous for a while there.

Or 2: The streets in London are so clean, that the pigeons are thin.
HOchie 1: I don't know how they manage to keep the streets so clean if the bins are all hidden.

The Power of Advertising

And Ipod Commercials have struck again!

First there was "Jerk It Out" by the Caesars. Cool song but I can't say I loved the album. TD5, you crazy. However, because of the commercial we all went scurrying off to find that track, yeah?

And well, I don't know if TD5 has heard it yet but there's the new commercial featuring the song "Flathead" by the Fratellis. I like it even though I shouldn't because it sounds a lot like that damned "Horse and the Cherry Tree" song (which I hate big time) but faster and with better/fun lyrics.

I'm sure the album might suck too (as far as I can tell, only an EP is out now). Buuuut, I'll just wait on TD5 to get it for me like he did before. Har Har.

Currently listening to: "Flathead" by The Fratellis
