Fall 2016 Update

Well everyone,  I am back with another update of my life.

My health:

In my last post I said I have cancer. Since then I have had an MRI done that showed no signs of cancer in me. That didn't mean it wasn't there, it just showed there were no signs. And there was a possibility of it coming back. To prevent that, I had radiation treatments done during July and August. I am going to be having a follow up MRI on my birthday to see if there are any signs returning or anything of that nature. And I will be having a CT Scan of my chest too.

Due to all of these health issues I have been having this year, I applied and have been approved for disability payments. And because of the nature of my disability, I can also work full time while drawing disability. And I also got me a job. Now whether or not it will be full time I don't know. I will know more abut that next week. But it is a relief to know that I am going to be getting some income very soon. The only downside to this is the travel but hopefully I will get the morning shift and will still be able to travel during daylight hours.

Season Premiers:

Okay, I am going to be lumping all the premiers together into this one post. Really it is going to be a review of the season up to date for each show rather than just the premieres themselves because each show will have aired two to three or more episodes by the date of this post. And I am starting with the shows according to the day of the week the air.

Once Upon a Time:

This show continues to amaze me. I was thinking that it was close to time for it to just end that they could not tell anymore story but that is exactly what has happen this season with the introduction of the "Aladdin" story. And they have gone back and did some more backstory for Cinderella which was nice. And they also did Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. And where they are going with the main cast is interesting as well. I think they are even following the pattern of the first season by showing the end of events of the past first and then everything that will lead up to that point. But then again maybe not.

Supergirl:

This show had been good so far too. The introduction of Superman was excellent. I was glad to see a TV Superman once again. That is something that has not happen since "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman". Yes, there was "Smalleville" but "Clark" never put on the suit in that series until the end and it was just CGI and not really him. In this show it was Superman. Yes, he was "Clark" too but the actor's portrayal of Superman was excellent. I don't really know where they are going with the plot this season other than it deals with "Cadmus" in some regard. I am patiently waiting for that each week.

Flash:

This show is a "mess" and I mean that in a good way if there is one. Barry screws up the timeline by changing it and then restoring it. Now considering this show is in the same universe  as two others how are they affected. I don't know about "Legends yet" but one minor thing was screwed up on "Arrow". A character's baby girl was turned into a baby boy. And the main villain is attempting to restore powers to people that had them in another timeline. It will be interesting how that develops considering episode 4 is tonight.

Arrow:

This is show is good as well and has been my most anticipated season since season 1 because the flashbacks are from the "fifth year" away from civilization. This season's flashbacks should end with how the first season began. I can't wait for that. And Green Arrow also has a team he is working with. I guess I should say it is a new team because his old one left. And it has a big bad I can't wait to see play out.

Legends of Tomorrow:

This show has been good too after only two episodes. The introduction of the JSA has been brilliant. This  has never been done in live action form. Again Smalleville did have something about the JSA. They did a two-hour episode on it. But they had only a few characters in it and some hints of others but not much to go on. In this show it was a full blown-out team that could kick butt and worked well as a team. I am looking forward to what happens on this show.

Best Friends Whenever:

This show started again in a week of premiers then aired another such week earlier this month. I have watched 9 of the 10 episodes because somehow I missed that last episode but I am recording it and will be watching it later this week. The plot this time is very interesting in that it deals with the past and not the future. And a character that comes from said past is now in the present. And I have a feeling she's not what she claims to be but we'll see.

Well that ends my series of reviews. I have tried real hard to limit my TV viewing to just one show a night and that is basically what I have done. Now I am going to talk about my writing plans.

From Witch to Witness:

This story is still a long way from being done and in my word document I am close to 1000 pages. I stopped working on it because my concentration needed to be on looking for a job and now that is taking care of I can go back to this only the job will limit my time to writing so at this point I don't know when I will go back to this but it will happen soon.

The Adventures of Alpha and Omega:

This is a story idea that came to me when I was of all things was playing with my PS3 and was creating a female character that looked like an angel and I called her "Alpha". And then I created a female character that looked like a demon and called her "Omega". And as I was doing this a story idea came to me and thus the title above this paragraph. And to go further, I even reverence something from this story in "From Witch to Witness" when it hasn't even been written yet. Isn't that something? Well I don't know when I will get to writing this or even if I will because I want to finish the other one first. But hopefully someday I can write it.

The Girl who loved Dracula:

I don't know what the copyrights to "Dracula" are. But you see him in some many things now a days leads me to believe he is open domain but I don't know but this story idea came to me recently and when I get everything down that I want to do about this story I will begin working on it but that may not be until after the above two stories are done.

So that is everything I have to say. I hope everyone enjoys what I have written in this post. I look forward to reading any comments on it and I hope to get some this time but no pressure.

Until next time,

Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice The Ultimate Edition

Okay, so today I picked up and purchased this movie. And I watched the original version scene in theaters (I actually wanted to see the extended edition but I put the wrong disk in my PS3 and watched this instead).

I have to say I actually love this movie. I don't understand the hate on this movie just because of "Man of Steel". I did a review of that movie too. It's somewhere in my archives and was one of my first posts in this blog.

Does this movie have some bad parts?" Maybe, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I am not going to criticize anyone for hating this movie. It has been said that if you loved "Man of Steel" you will love this one. If you hated it then you will hate this one.

Well I don't remember how I felt about the first one. I understand the problems people have about it but I didn't really think it was that bad. This one however is definitely better than the first if you were to compare the two.

I will say this. The trailers did not do this movie justice. I thought Wonder Woman shows up when the two in title superheroes begin fighting Doomsday and they had no idea who she was and why she was there. But after watching the movie I find out that is not the case and that Batman actually knows who she is before this final battle.

And let's talk about their confrontation with each other. It was a good fight. It was understandable why they had to fight and they did work together in the end which was another thing I wasn't sure was going to happen because of the trailer. I thought they just stop their fight just to fight Doomsday but that is not what happen.

If wondering why I haven't stated what actually  happen but just what I thought and finding out different is because I don't want to give out spoilers. If you want to know what happens watch the movie. That is my advice, watch the movie. Judge this movie by its content and not by its predecessor. Because it is better than the first and I enjoyed it.

I am not planning on watching the Suicide Squad movie because I have no interest. But I do want to see Wonder Woman when it comes out and Justice League Part 1. That is all I have to say. I hope you enjoy this review of the movie.

A little bit of everything

Well it has been a long time since my last post and I have a lot of stuff to cover. So that is why the title is what it is. And this will be long.

A review of Dallas Season 6:

I finished this season long after my last post. It was a good season with Bobby and J.R. going head to head with each other over the company. And the finale was one of the most popular in the series where the house catches on fire. I have yet to find a copy of season 7 so I can purchase and watch it. Maybe someday. But it was a good season.

Season Finales:

Okay, I have seen the finales for the following shows:

Once Upon of Time:

This was good and I enjoyed it and can't wait for next season. The introductions of new characters was neat and original.

Supergirl:

This was also good and I enjoyed it as well and can't wait for the second season which will air on a new network which is okay because it joins three other D.C. shows making it a family of four that all share the same producers and writers.

Agents of Shield:

I watch the remaining eleven episodes of this program in one day (It had a two-hour finale). And although it was good perhaps I shouldn't have watched it the way I did but I wanted to get it over with. It was okay but the ending, well I just don't know. But I will still watch season 4.

Flash:

I did not like the ending at first but after reading other thoughts and opinions on it and speculations of what it means I don't dislike it much anymore. You see the timeline as it was introduced in Season One is not the original timeline. There are two flashes in the first season finale. We saw what the flash did that saved little Barry's life. The one we saw in this season finale was the one that told the first season flash just to grab the boy and he stopped the Reverse Flash in the second season finale. I think that when the third season starts we'll see things the way they should be to begin with before the Reverse Flash goes back in time. But I don't know.

Arrow:

The only thing I can say about this finale is I can't wait to see the flashbacks for the fifth year away from civilization.

Best Friends Whenever:

This is a cute little sitcom on the Disney Channel that I watch. And everything from the season was resolved in a good way and the set-up for next season was really good.

Girl Meets World:

This ended a while back and the third season starts this Friday Night. The finale sets things up for the third season really well and I can't wait to see the premiere.

To wrap things up about finales, I will try to post about the premieres when they happen if I can.

From Witch to Witness:

This is a story I am writing at the moment. I have completed 28 chapters of it and will some day start writing chapter 29. I am at the moment planning on posting the chapters here. But I have to put this warning to my readers. The main character makes a decision to do something that a lot of you may not agree with. And I will have this character go deep into what she has decided to do. The good thing to know is she will come back from making that decision and make the right one. That being said, I want to state that my faith is in Jesus Christ. And I am asking for his guidance and protection in writing this story because I believe it needs to be told. And I am throwing in "Fantasy Elements" into the story to really drive home the decision this character is making. I have no intention of offending anyone. The ideas introduced in this story are my own. I have had very little influence from other ideas about witchcraft and the occult.

And now the biggie:

I have cancer. It is Sarcoma of the right neck and it is in stage 3. I am supposed to soon be getting radiation treatments for it. Where they will be is to be determined soon. But this all started last summer when a knot began growing on my neck. I didn't do anything about it until January and it led to surgery in April. Plus I lost my job in the same month. They found the cancer in the knot they removed and believe I still have the cancer in me and it could spread if not dealt with soon. When my financial situation is taken care of I am hoping to start the treatments soon and get rid of this thing. If any big happens concerning this I will try to make an update about it.

That is all I have to say for now.
