Bleach Episode 4 – Bankai no more

Episode 4 already starts out with a recap of the first three episodes. I think that might be better than recapping just the previous episode. Speaking of which, remember how that one ended? Things got pretty hectic in Soul Society and Kira got murdered. It is an almost three minute recap though. Are we back … Continue reading Bleach Episode 4 – Bankai no more →

NaNoWriMo Round 2: What’s the plan?

Good evening folks. I’ll be keeping it short and sweet today, since I’ve got to take all the time I have left to mentally prepare for this month of writing way too many words. For those unfamiliar with the concept; NaNoWriMo is a yearly challenge where writers challenge themselves to try and write 50.000 words … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Round 2: What’s the plan? →

Wake up Mr. West

Wake up Mr. West, Mr West, Mr Fresh Mr. by-his-self-he-so-impressed. Let’s go back to 2007. Kanye West releases his third studio album; Graduation. In case you’re not super familiar with his music, this is the album that has songs like; Stronger, Good Morning, Homecoming, and Good Life (Featuring T-Pain). All of these songs are fantastic, … Continue reading Wake up Mr. West →

Bleach Episode 3 – Soul Society Invaded

It seems like getting access to new Bleach episodes on Monday is going to be tough, especially to then also review them. So instead we’ll move this show to Tuesday. With that said, back to Hueco Mundo where Kurosaki Ichigo and Nel confront Quilge and his men. Ichigo also instantly recognizes his teleporting techniques as … Continue reading Bleach Episode 3 – Soul Society Invaded →

Likeable characters

Maybe I’m getting old. Maybe I’m just going soft. But as of late I find myself enjoying more laidback shows a lot, as opposed to the more intense shows. I really felt this sentiment when I just watched two shows back to back. I started by watching Beast Tamer and followed it by watching Blue … Continue reading Likeable characters →

Mental health, exhaustion and trying your best

It’s the fall holiday right now and it’s officially been about 2 months since I started my (hopefully) final internship as a teacher. I’ve started properly teaching at this point and I’m getting decently used to my new environment. Which is good because the first essays and exams are getting awfully close. Early November I’m … Continue reading Mental health, exhaustion and trying your best →

Bleach Episode 2 – Hueco Mundo in Turmoil

I can’t believe it’s once again time for a weekly Bleach episode. It’s been so long since I experienced that weekly that it feels strange. We see Ywach talking to one of his subordinates who’s on the ground writhing in pain. From there we jump into the opening theme which is very pink. Not that … Continue reading Bleach Episode 2 – Hueco Mundo in Turmoil →

Bleach Recap #12: The End of Aizen Part 2

We’re in the final stretch of it all now. If Bleach ended with this arc I would have probably rated it a lot higher than I currently do. Like many though, I still have hope that Kubo makes some serious improvements to the final arc. A lot of the issues people had with the Thousand … Continue reading Bleach Recap #12: The End of Aizen Part 2 →

Now you feel like number 1! Bleach Episode 1

It’s sure been a while, hasn’t it? The final episode of Bleach dropped in March 2012. Over a decade ago. I was still studying business economics at uni, not even the slightest hint of an idea that I would one day become a teacher. At that point in time I knew about my autism for … Continue reading Now you feel like number 1! Bleach Episode 1 →

Some thoughts on writing The Hesitant Hero

I have a lot to say about the Hesitant Hero. Some of which I've already said, most of which I'll probably talk about twelve more times before I finally realize no one else is interested in this information. As a teacher, I've learned that reflecting on the work you've done is crucial in growing, so … Continue reading Some thoughts on writing The Hesitant Hero →
