You know that thing that pleased kids do when standing more or less still? Where they go up onto the balls of their feet, then back down, then up again, over and over? I'm doing that now. Figuratively. Literally, I'm lying on my back with atop a folded comforter, my head on a deflated beanbag chair, typing rapidly on the laptop that's pressing its lower edge into one hipbone, the rest of it propped against my bent legs so that I can see both the keyboard and the screen. But that doesn't convey much, does it.
There was some hinting today that we - my family and I - were going to see Wall-E, but that looks like it's postponed until tomorrow. Instead, on the way back from dropping my sister off at a friend's house - something that happens far more often now that The Stranger is living here - we stopped briefly at GameStop so my brother could trade in some games and reserve another. Then, we went to the bookstore.
And since it was recommended so highly at
scans_daily, particularly today, I picked up the TPB of "Iron Man: Hypervelocity". Holy hells! Worth the money. I don't really like it when the "cognitive clockspeed" thing goes into overdrive - really, really don't like it when robots think and communicate and move so very much faster than humans - it's a mini, after all. My other thoughts are up there, at the link.
Also, the last episodes of "Avatar: the Last Airbender" are airing. Finally! "The Southern Raiders" was the first one that hadn't already been spread via the Internet; this was yesterday. Very, very nice. I don't ship, but either way - Katara x Aang(which is, I know, what's going to happen) or Katara x Zuko(which will not. Not with Mai. Sigh), shippers are going to be in a froth. They are now, actually. They've been a froth for months. "The Ember Island Players" is next, tonight. If I miss it, I can find it online. (Ooooh, illegal! Seriously, that's the only way I can get at any of this without paying through the nose for DVDs. Nickelodeon does not treasure Avatar and is loathe to show it.)
And, fine, I'll gank the picture from that scans_daily post. Because it is made of snark and win.
