InsomniacMandie's Journal

I saw the finale of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' today. I'm not really a fan of the show, I've only ever seen a few episodes on TV during those friday nights I had nothing better to do, so I was able to grasp the basic pretence, but I did get very confused at points(eg; multiple "Who the hell is that!?"s). Anyway, here are my thoughts on the finale... because I have nothing better to do. Even if you have no idea what I'm talking about, read it anyway, You might just get a laugh or two out of the ridiculousness.

As far as animation goes, some of the battles were pretty spectacular... for a cartoon. It's stuff like this that gets me really interested in animation. Being the nerd I am, I couldn't help thinking about things I would've done differently as an animator. I really wish I could do that stuff with fire, oh that would be so sweet. I did like the fact that Azula completely lost her mind for no adequately explored reason at the end, I didn't like her. Though her thrashing, crying, and fire breathing did make me feel a little sorry for her, but she got what she deserved. Ahh irony. At the beginning of the final battle between Aang and... that macho fire lord guy, I couldn't help thinking, 'Oh, Of course he has to take his shirt off.' Dude, completely unnecessary nudity in a kid's show. Also, I understand it's a kid's show, but couldn't Aang have killed the machofirelordguy? Of course not. It's a kid's show. Bad Mandie. Keep your horrible thoughts to yourself. (But all my thoughts are horrible!) Shush. The whole bit with freaky rays of light coming out of their eyes and mouth was... different. I laughed quite hard at it actually. And Go Katara and her awesome ice skillz, plus I would've been pissed if she let Zuko die. I like his hair. One thing that was sort of annoying, my favorite character and my least favorite character(yes, I had time to form detailed opinions about everyone) end up making out! >;o !?!? It totally ruined the moment of him becoming new mister machofirelordguy, after they 'humanely' disposed of old mister machofirelordguy. Oh yeah, he's a total idiot, but I finally approve of Sokka. Nice airship skills. Horrible pun skills. Also, Why the hell did they bring up the whole new issue of Zuko's mother? This is the finale is it not? Don't bring up new questions and just leave them be, answer something!! Jeez. Thus concludes my rant. Don't try to understand it, not even I do.  

I'm really not doing well with my 'think less' goal. I simply have to much to think about. So much, that I'm pretty sure my brain is beginning to liquefy and ooze out of my ears.

Lately, I feel like I've been talking to myself. I have been, but it's still not a good feeling.-

I was thinking about my favorite movie from when I was a kid. When I was really little, It was Sleeping Beauty. I hated all the mushy gushy crap("Nice to meet you. You're hot. Let's get married!"), I just liked the dragon. When I was a little older, it was Treasure Planet. My grandpa(the one who taught me how use a chainsaw) rented it when it first came out. I thought it was awesome. I think I'm going to rent it again, haven't seen it for years :P If it's anything like 'Blake Holsey High', I'm going to watch it and think, "I can't believe I used to think this crapola was cool! *convulses*"

-Like right now! I'm totally talking to no one.-

I'm eating a 7-layer dip. BLASPHEHY. I counted, there are only 4 layers.

Been checking out books from my favorite guy for damn near the thousandth time. Too bad there are so few of them. Pretty much the only author who clearly addresses my twisted sense of humor. Also learned that he has a twitter.com account, filled with more of that   incomparable ridiculousness I live for. Checked it out, laughed for a while, then realized the most painfully obvious thing on the planet, the guy has friends! Well duh, someone as cool and talented as that would, of course, have friends. Now, I'm not one of those people who go to conventions and stalk their favorite authors, yelling, "-but we have a deep spiritual bond, I can tell!!! I LOVE YOU! Please! Sign my breast!!!". Dude, no. That's just creepy. I guess he always seemed more like some... divine entity brimming with aweomejuice, much more than he seemed like a human being. Keep this in mind when you find yourself in a talent-envy induced crush. Meeting your idols and having them realize that they love you and want to move in with you the next day, is the least likely thing ever to happen.

...Who am I telling this to? I'm talking to no one!

I'm still sceptical about posting the song I wrote. Pretty sure no good can come of it. 

Whoever composed the music for High School Musical deserves to be smacked multiple times over the head, and once on the butt for good measure.
