A Tentative Tangling of Tendrils

Is it bad that the full trailer for The Last Airbender has completely killed the little ember of interest that the Super Bowl teaser had sparked? Ah, well. At least I am now convinced I will be in wise in choosing to save my money.

Edit: The Katara action figure... I mourn.

(11) Pheonix Wright (misc, and actually decent!)
(01) Avatar (zutara)
(04) Naruto (that Kakashi sleeping image and Team Yondy pic)
(04) Bleach (Ichigo & Orihime running)

( Edgie's got a gun. )

If they say the entire East Coast will be able to see the rocket launch, the entire East Coast should be able to see the rocket launch...in stead of standing out in the freezing cold and withstanding the mocking comments of ones family to see nothing. (I blame the casinos; Damn you, Donald Trump!! *shakes fist*) On the plus side, I did see a shooting star...only I messed up the wording of my wish, and we all know that whatever divine entity is granting wishes, it is very particular in regard to our wordings and is always looking for mistake/loop-hole through which it can screw us over. *is both superstitious AND paranoid*

Apparently if a recipe says it makes 5-8 dozen cookies, you should be prepared to make a lot of cookies. (I can do this math...that's...6...0 to 8 times 2 is...16, carry the one, that's 96...? 60 to 96 cookies? And I sprinkled and iced 'em all! Go me.)

TV:
House: Oh, House. Oh, Wilson. And Cameron, please shut-up. I never really got the hate some people have for her character, and I've never really minded her before, but she was definitely pissing me off this past episode.

The Office: <3; I wonder what it means that my biggest squee of the episode was the Pam/Toby moment? Must be my affection for Toby. Aww, and Dwight and Angela were cute in a non-creepy way. lol @ the commercial break "Which will Stanley choose?" cliffhanger. (I thought he was just going to leave.) Poor Phyllis. Where was Bob Vance? And, last but no least, Oscaaar!

Avatar: I just realized why the possiblity of HeadofHair!Aang excites me. He can be ruffled now; his hair can be ruffled. If ever there was a non-existent cartoon kid whose [hypothetical] hair I wanted to ruffle, it's Aang. I will now be holding out the entire season for someone (I nominate you, Katara!) to ruffle his [hypothetical] hair and most likely am fated to write an angry letter when no one does. Ruffle!

The last finale was better. (...if only because it had a kick ass musical score...) (...and a giant fish thing wrecking havoc...)

( When there's good on the outside... )

So, having slept and immersed myself in horrifically boring things like term papers this morning, I believe I have finally calmed down enough to be some what coherent...

( Smooth sailing from here on out. ...Riiiiiight, Sokka... )

Really, I hate it when things like this happen but...new Avatar on Turbonick!

( He's lying. )

Of course, the bitch of it all is now I have to wait until the 17th to find out what happens next. ...It's harder waiting two weeks than yay new Avatar no new Avatar but next week...yay new Avatar! (I'm still kinda used to the very other week thing season one did... And, yes, I am a whiny brat...and very little of the above makes sense.)

And I totally would have missed that pun had Ty Lee not pointed it out...

Is it bad that I enjoyed this episode more than the last? Like A LOT more? Like I really kind of loved this episode and the last one not so much? It succeeded at providing a wider glimpse of the Avatar world where Tales failed. (Ironically, I'd been looking forward to ToBS, thinking it would do just that, and had little interest in the adventures of Appa...)

And what is up with Nick and the lack of previews! I want previews, dammit!

( I want a lil' bison! And Appa needs a hug! )

And, while I'm on Avatar, some random things that have crossed my mind:
Katara has bad luck when it comes to trees. She was tied to one. (Ep. 09) She's been knocked out by one. (Ep. 19) She's been pinned to one. (Ep. 28) And there might be more. ...She needs to stay away from wooded areas...

Zuko and Katara both suck at coming up with names for their partners in alias-ing. (Mushi? Dung/Dum/whatever name she gave to Toph?)

...And, yes, this was very random...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that is what I call an episode!

But where the hell is my freaking preview! Damn you, Nickelodian!

**waits for it be put up on iTunes...even though she recorded it...likes to waste money**

...Incidentaly, my Iroh icon is kinda freaking me out now...when put with in the context of this episode...

( The last utopia on earth... )

...and the total disappointment of this fan. All right, so the "Avatar movie" was a bit of let down--to me, anyway. Maybe it's just the result of waiting over a month for new episodes and the knowledge that there's no use getting excited as it will be two more month before the episodes continue. Maybe it's the total anticlimatic feel of the ending, or what I feel was wasted potential. I don't know. All I know is I'm feeling pretty dissatisfied at the moment.

( Some more griping and a look at some of the episodes' bright spots below the cut. )
