I doodled this after we finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, a surprisingly good Nickelodeon cartoon, last weekend. This is one of the few animes where there was a great story and almost no filler. We highly recommend it.
I'm off to NYC tomorrow through Tuesday morning. I won't be posting for the next two days, so you'll have to enjoy this one for a bit. I almost forgot to post today. I guess late is better than never.
We watched Avatar on Christmas Eve after we participated in the rest of a traditional Jewish Christmas by eating at a (vegetarian) Chinese restaurant. I ended up getting sick probably from a cold virus mixed with the 3D effects and a very nasty Avocado milkshake. Thinking about Chinese food now makes me nauseous, which is hard on the Julies.
Avatar is a beautifully rendered movie. I wish I could say the same for its characters and story. There will one day be a movie about a benevolent corporation that is trying to save the Earth from runaway Nature and the do-gooders who try to protect her by deifying her. Oh and there will be military people who are, like, real people who don’t want to fight just because they can, but actually care about their soldiers and civilians. And there won’t be any giant robots in this movie. Or flying blue people.
Otherwise the weekend was nice and long. We finally took the dogs out of the house thanks to the sun and mild temperature.
