Talking Soup

I've kind of sucked lately at doing reviews, so I figured it was high time to get back in the habit. Especially since this weekend you can expect a very detailed account of The Golden Compass. Very. Detailed.

SPOILER WARNING on all of these.

First and foremost, Avatar had it's kinda-sorta mid-season finale on Friday. The date of its return is still up in the air, though the episodes are written, so they're unaffected by the writer's strike. We're thinking sometime in January. We had Amanda, Michelle, a guy friend of theirs, and Sophia over to watch it, and even Molly, who doesn't usually watch Avatar, joined in.

Last weekend was the first ASIC marathon of the year. Twelve hours. We watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is probably one of the most famous animes ever, though I had never seen it. To finish it off, we watched the infamous Eva movie, appropriately titled "The End of Evangelion."

And last but not least, the Heroes kinds-sorta-maybe season finale.

Long entry.

In the meantime, I'm thinking of writing a letter of recommendation for my professor's tenure portfolio. Just need to figure out how exactly I go about doing that. And I'm pretty sure that I'm going to exchange my Soc major for a minor. Not entirely because of what's been going on with Margo, though it was a catalyst--but frankly, if I switch to a minor, it frees me up to take classes I actually want to take. There are so many awesome-looking classes, but I wouldn't be able to take any of them because I still need a shitload of credits for my major. I would already have had to take a summer class. I think Ithaca College has sucked enough money from my poor parents.

And in other news, Motley Crew is on a downhill slope toward the end. FINALLY.

I have next to nothing to report. Gonna go see HP tomorrow with my Mom since she wants to see it. Worked today--next workday is Tuesday--and I'm almost finished with my training. I even did a few things on the registers today, though I suxored at it.

You guys. I keep finding this amazing ice cream. Haagen Dazs--they have--they have Amazon Chocolate. And Belgian Chocolate. Haagen Dazs...it's so expensive but it's so worth it. Oh my god, Amazon Chocolate is the closest I've come to Friendly's Forbidden Chocolate ice cream, which in my opinion is the best ice cream in the entire world. No, I'm not even kidding. I don't know what it is about it--it's just so fucking good.

I did a little bit for Penta last night! Woo!

Oh, and to clear up something in my last post--the Cthulu rumor has been debunked. The websites that gave "hints" about it turned out to be fakes. No one knows anything about this movie. And I went over and joined the group 011808.

And for any Avatar fans out there, I've heard tidbits saying that Avatar overall is slated for at least three more seasons, though there's still no word on what's happening with the third season. Apparently the production company/creators have kept up with working on it, but Nickelodeon's been incredibly slow with getting things in order. A bad habit of theirs. The general consensus at this point is that the next season is coming "Septemberish." Rumor, though.

God I'm tired. I was up till 4 looking over Penta last night. I haven't actually been doing any real writing for it; I've been reading it over, fixing problems when I find them. I don't want to continue with the rewrite until I hear back from my First Reader. Fortunately reading it is a good way to occupy myself away from this Mot mess and the damn fic chapter which has hit a wall. Penta brings back some good memories--and some bad. I love this story to death. It was the first story that I really truly considered for publication, and of course I still want to get it published. I don't know why I drag my feet on the everything from rewriting onward. I guess I just like the thrill of the first draft, you know? But I've gotta get past that if I want to be a real writer. I just really want people read this story and meet the characters so I can find out if people like them as much as I do.

Anyway.
