Wow RWBY love it

Ok lots of things to say;
Firstly loving Monty Oum's monster-slaying academy series RWBY which is on the Rooster Teeth YouTube channel.
Look up RWBY there are aprox 6 episodes at least, and look up the full trailers of each main character, there are 4.
The episodes are short but eventful so watch and enjoy!
I love it already.
As usual, my fave characters are the teachers so far and maybe the big sister.
I tend to prefer characters who aren't main characters for some reason...
Pretty sure I'm not the only one though.
Love the music and stuff, am hoping that the girl with black hair is in fact a member of the White Fang with maybe animal powers or something, I am hoping to see more of what she can do.
She's the most mysterious one in terms of ability being revealed by the trailer.
I do like the main character, she is quite endearing.

Watch the first ep here.
It's soo good and I love the theme song (which is at the end of ep 1).

...
Uh anyway, ok so I just wanted to mention two things in case someone else reads this and is like, 'Hey, yeah!'
Firstly, I was playing Platinum the other day and the male Team Galactic grunt looks a LOT like the Ace Trainer in BnW. Changed his clothes but otherwise awfully similar.
It's not a big deal but it's kinda like, 'Hmmm... I wonder why?'
Maybe they liked the hairstyle and colour and wanted to use it again.
Yes Nintendo, we noticed.
Secondly, notice how in BnW Cheren wears glasses but in B2nW2, Bianca is wearing glasses all of a sudden and Cheren is NOT? Did she steal his glasses? I wonder... Anyway, they both look sweet with glasses so who cares, I just noticed it was interesting.

ALSO!!!!
I didn't know that if I wanted the three shiny legends from DP and P for my BnW games, I have to pre-order X or Y.
I did it of course.
I wanted them shinies! And Pkmn X.
But I'm annoyed because that is not stated clearly anywhere.
Even the flyer you get at Jb HiFi is a bit ambiguous.
It has a little thing at the bottom saying to pre-order, but it doesn't say that getting the shinies is conditional upon pre-order, WHICH SUCKS!
What if some kid can't get their parents to pre-order X or Y?
No shinies for them!
UNFAIR, NINTENDO, or Game Freak or WHOEVER!!!!!
Way to alienate and frustrate your customers.
And don't bother posting to tell me where it says all this junk.
It is UNCLEAR.
If they want this to be known, they need to spell it out very clearly from the get-go, so that everyone knows it and nobody can say it is ambiguous, which I am now stating that it IS ambiguous.
Just hoping this isn't a thing that only Jb HiFi in NZ is doing, to force more ppl to pre-order games... if they are, then my apologies to Nintendo and the rest.
:(
Ok let's end this on a happy note.
:D

Singing.

I like to sing, all types of songs but especially opera.
People tell me I have a nice voice, one person said it was like the voice of an angel.
I can't hear that of course, because it is my voice.
I can only tell if I go off pitch or whatever it's called.
They tell me I should be doing something with it.
I am.
I use it to sing with!
But people seem to think that if you have something and you don't want to show it off on television or on a stage, or exhibit it somehow, that you are wasting your talent.
It isn't wasted if the people I choose to sing for enjoy hearing it.
Just saying.
Besides, I am untrained and can't afford lessons.
So I don't see any way to develop my voice further.
I like the feeling I get when I can hit the perfect note and it rings out clear.
That makes me happy.
I don't need anything else.
Although it would be nice if I could make a comfortable living by singing.
But hey!
That's life!
We can't all be professional singers, right?
Also... I had to sing with my eyes shut when I performed for people last time.
I didn't want to see them looking at me.
I'm shy!
Well, I know being shy is unpopular.
But I am shy and that's that.
:)
I wish I could sing for whoever is reading this so they can hear me and then this post would seem to have more depth.
But never mind!

Fishy-tasting tea?

Happy 201st post to me!
Anyway, this post is about a problem I have noticed from time to time, but thankfully, not often.
Sometimes when I have a cup of tea,  it smells and/or tastes slightly or strongly fishy and stale.

I always forget about looking it up.
So I finally looked it up.
I found a couple of great websites to explain why it could be.
Basically they said (and they were all forums so no official tea expert's verdict given), that it would be due to improper storage or perhaps even the tea was improperly processed in the first place.
I believe hard water or stale water was also suggested.

I have had an experience with fishiness both with green and black teas, and milk makes no difference.
So if it's fishy, try tossing the liquor and re-steeping the bag/leaves.
If that doesn't work, it's a bad bag or bad leaves. Sorry!
Be sure to tell the company you got the tea from.
They shouldn't be allowing that to happen.
There is one other thing mentioned, that age is good for tea, so if the tea is left for months or years, it may improve in flavour.
However I don't know if that applies to tea bags, or leaves only.
I also thought that if you don't keep your tea in a cool dry place, it will possibly get damp and maybe that could cause fishiness?
Just a little ponder that I was pondering.

Pu-erh tea is also often said to be fishy. I have experienced it myself too.
In answer to that problem, the verdict seemed to be that if it is a very good quality Pu-erh, it will not taste or smell fishy.
Also remember with Pu-erh, you can usually re-steep it several times if the leaves are good.
Steep them for only about 10-15 seconds each time, then take them out.
If the fishiness is there, rinse the leaves before re-steeping.
That should fix it.
However, I promise nothing and I am not a professional at all.
So, give it a go!
Don't give up on tea, ok?
Here's a link to a great page about Pu-erh.
