I bought a daily calender featuring cat cartoons. This one baffled me. Can anyone tell me what's going on?



I borrowed the first box set of Avatar: The Last Airbender from the library and watched the first disc (three or four episodes). Wow, I can truly see where the fan anger about the movie casting is coming from. It's one thing to see random screen captures, it's a whole 'nother thing to see the cultures in action and think that this has nothing to do with white people. In any case, it's fairly entertaining but not captivating so far. By far the best character at this point is Katara. It's nice to see a strong, nice, sympathetic female character. I found the boys far more annoying. Aang I could forgive because he's obviously really just a kid. Sokka in general is okay, he just needs to shut up with his sexist crap. Zuko is truly annoying. I'm know sooner or later we'll see what made him the way he is and all, but at this point I just want to see as little as possible of him. :P

I was highly amused reading seperis's post reacting to the article "Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time to Die" by Patton Oswalt in Wired. I'd heard about this article and didn't think I needed to read it, and her reaction doubles that down.

I bought a new camera. It is very awesome. I've been taking waaaay too many pics of my cat with it. ♥

Avatar definitely gets better as it goes along. Not that it starts out badly, but I definitely didn't get what all the fuss was about until somewhere in the second season. Zuko, especially, is just plain irritating until his character starts to change, and then he's awesome!

(Yeah, I didn't get the cartoon either. I think the interpretation of "what a cat sees" must be correct.)

I'm definitely going to watch a bunch of episodes to give it a chance. I've already watched some more and am getting less irritated. I think the first four didn't do any favors for the characters.
