The Skeleton Exploded
Nov. 9th, 2006 10:39 amSenate too! Senate too! Eeeeeeeee!! And Rumsfeld is gone! Much as I hate the bastard, I would have rather seen Karl Rove be the one to take the guillotine. Oh well. Rumsfeld is good enough.
Kate has gotten Julie and I into Avatar: The Last Airbender. Which is the kind of show that reminds you of the good old days of kid's programming. The show is cute, fun, and actually has a storyline, which is the only non-anime cartoon that comes to mind that has one. It borrows a lot from Japanese animation, but at the same time it's got its roots in the West. It's definitely geared toward kids, but you think about cartoons, right--Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Loony Toons, all the rest of them. None of them exactly had a storyline that continued from one episode to the next. That's Japanese influence right there, continued storylines in animation. Woot! Plus the storyline is actually interesting, complex and the setting/world is also very rich. The writers really put their time into it.
Plus, like I said, it's fun and cute. It's got a giant fluffy flying bison, how can it be bad??
And, in other news, Lost. Yesterday was the mid-season ender, and ( holy shit )
Meanwhile, I'm actually working on the next chapter of the fic, and ideas and tidbits are spinning around my head for Desert, Spirits and Mot. I also want to keep going with the Penta rewrite. Plot bunnies are breeding in my head!
Oh, and dude. In Fiction today we had to bring in a bit of writing in which the theme was violent. So one kid who read today went totally over the top and it was actually a short thing about Mortal Kombat. I was laughing the whole time. I mean, you want over-the-top violence, MK is the place to look for it. He had lines like "buckets of blood gushed from the opponent" and "the skeleton seemed to hesitate before it exploded" which was so fucking brilliant. I remember the Fatalities in that game, oh man, so fun.
Julie wants me to bring back Secret of Mana after break. Fuck yes.
