Back home!

Safely back home!

... wow. I forgot how humid it was here. It's not that hot (yet), but everything is oh so sticky and clammy to the touch. Also, I think I've only been out of the plane for an hour or two, and I may already have my first mosquito bite.

On the other hand, my dad has an Asus EEE PC! The world taunts me with tiny laptops! Maybe I will look at the older models here and see if they're cheaper, since Asus is a Taiwan company. Before leaving, I didn't do anything save logistical stuff (packing, cleaning out fridge, etc.) and mainline Avatar and some Princess Tutu. Then I watched eps. 1-13 of Avatar S3 on the plane! I love my iPod so much. Its battery held up through all of that, and possibly could have gone for a few more episodes as well. Spoilers for S3: One bad thing about watching Avatar on the plane is having to suppress my desire to laugh out loud multiple times, particularly after Zuko switches sides. Also, I had forgotten how bad-tempered he was in S1! Oh Zuko. I did not like you that much as a character back then because I was too busy laughing over your emo angst about your honor, but now that you are attempting to do good poorly and having embarrassing geek moments, I sort of want to hug you and muss up your hair.

It was also good to catch up, as this time around I was actually paying attention. I had forgotten Toph learned earth bending from badger moles! And about the brainwashing in Ba Sing Se! I've also noticed that they seem to be pairing Zuko off with individuals in the Gaang so far -- first Aang, then Sokka. I hope a Zuko + Toph episode and a juicy Zuko + Katara one come next (am not a shipper, but will enjoy watching them snipe at each other).

They are taking over the world!

It's the older model, but the box has pictures of ones in pink and light blue and spring green! I am entranced by the colors and now want one even more.

Did you deliberately make your laptop pose w/a Concourse mug? Because every time I see the icon, I'm all, squee, tiny laptop! And then the WisCon-ness of it is an added bonus. So it's the perfect happy-making icon!

It is for the virtual coffee to go with the laptop's virtual ink.

[littlebutfierce]

Ohhhhhhh. I get it now. Heh. Well, for me it is a bonus that it is WisCon-located virtual coffee. :)

Season 3 started out rushed to me, but is it ever so good.

My requests for future episodes are: More Toph, more Katara, and more Iroh.

Also- is it me or did they just decide to have half a dozen characters they don't know what to do with for the last few episodes?

[oyceter]

Want new episodes now!

OMG I cannot wait until Iroh comes back. Especially now that Zuko has joined the gang!

And yeah, they don't seem to know what to do with all the extra kids they acquired, which may be why the last three eps or so involved Zuko + someone going off on an adventure outside the Western Air Temple.

Yay! I'm glad you made it there safely.

Man, I really want the S3 box set when it's available.

[oyceter]

Me too! Even though there aren't lots of extras I like on the S2 ones (I listened to all the commentaries! They are sort of dorky but don't have tons of annotated information on history and culture like I wanted them to).

I loved those last few episodes SO MUCH.

"My last girlfriend turned into the moon."

"PRISON RIOT!"

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

"I'm never happy." *snrk* Oh, Zuko.

(Cracking up again over the "girlfriend turned into the moon" line.)

[oyceter]

Bwahahaha yes! And while I was rewatching, I forgot about Toph's glee at leaving Ba Sing Se, which still cracks me up. I hope they explain a little how she can bend metal now! And why she can bend asteroid metal but not Katara's gold bracelets or something.

"Why am I so bad at being good?!"
