You know i'm feeling really sick now.

I've been on MC for the past 2 days, but unfortunately i didn't manage to wangle a day 3, so here i am, freezing my ass off, sniffing away in the office.

BUT HEY! ITS AWWWRIGHT.

Tomorrow is Deepavali so i get another day off. WOO WOO AHWOOGA CHICKY CHICKY YEAAAAH.

So, what have i been doing for the past 2 days?

I've been watching a cartoon called Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Its supposedly a very highly acclaimed cartoon in the US now, thats become super popular. So i took it upon myself to find out why.

2 Seasons, 40 episodes, completed in 2 days.

You are doing the math now aint cha. 1/2 an hour an episode, 20 episodes= 10 hours.

Anyway it is a pretty good cartoon, considering it is american and i mostly go for anime.

At first i was like SHITSUX, but the plot has multiple twists and pretty solid action sequences. The characters i found whiny and stupid at the start somehow grew on me.

Do you have any idea what its like to be addicted to a TV show? I mean, to spend EVERY WAKING SECOND thinking about it? Wondering whats gonna happen next episode (I didn't get this, because i watched them all immediately after the next. No time for speculation) and over analyzing EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER?

"Prince Zuko is such a troubled character, but he seems to have an indomitable inner strength which he just can't seem to grasp because of his traumatic past."

"Aang is a whiny fuck." (Ok not much analysis there)


The show is about people from different countries who can manipulate the elements of fire, wind, water and earth. The avatar is a super pumped steroids character who can manipulate all four.

So.. i was thinking if i could control any one of the four elements, which would it be.

Fire would be the coolest looking i guess (yl will vouch for me there) but almost everyone if given a choice would pick fire. Therefore the most logical step would be to choose water, right? I could create giant statues in my likeness made of ice. JAWWWSOME.

If you don't know what JAWWWWSOME means, go kill yourself. that is all.
