we don't have to slow back down
Work internet was down from late yesterday afternoon til about 11:45 this morning. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS?
OH, INTERNETS, NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN!
*clings*
***
Saw Inception again last night, with R. I don't think the story I was thinking of writing would actually work, on second viewing. But maybe. I'll think on it. It would be worth it just to write a story about someone named Mal Cobb. Oh, the intertextual hilarity.

After getting home - which took nearly 3 times as long as it should have, thanks to the bus not coming and then three of them coming at once, after I'd walked halfway (and does anyone know what was going on last night that all the streets off the east side of 3rd in the 60s were blocked off with cops?), I watched most of Psych. Man, there are people who don't want to tap Gus? My whole world is askew! Also that moment where they stopped and pointed at each other in the car - I can't remember the line, just that it was perfect and hilarious - how so awesome, guys? They are like a live action cartoon sometimes, I swear.
[eta] angelgazing reminds me that it was:
"He is literally taking her to the bank!"
"What's next? The cleaners?"
And then the point.
Hee! [/eta]

After Psych, I watched the end of ATLA s2 last night.
*hearts in eyes*
I love how complicated the politics of it all is, no dumbing down for the kids. I mean, yes, obviously, it's simplified but it's still complex and layered, more than a lot of live action shows for adults, certainly.
I can totally understand why people ship Katara/Zuko, but man, she deserves way better (at least at this point in the canon). He is definitely a poster boy for poor judgment. He could be an object lesson: when making a life choice, think of what Zuko would do and DO THE OPPOSITE. Poor kid. I feel for him, and I get why he is the way he is *cough*daddy issues*cough* but I really want to shake some sense into him. Especially considering that he has Uncle Iroh trying to guide him, and just when I think he's finally internalized Iroh's lessons he... hasn't, quite. Sigh. Oh, Iroh... Nobody fucks you up like family, it's true.
I'm also finding it really fun to watch the two different types of sibling dynamics play out with Zuko/Azula and Sokka/Katara. Somehow, I don't think Zuko's going to get the kind of reception from his father if they ever reunite that Sokka got with his. I also wonder if it was Iroh's son's death that made Iroh the way he is, or if he was always different, and if he'd taken over as firelord, if the war would have ended earlier.
Also, I think I'm finally aboard the "Toph is awesome!" train, after she figured out how to bend metal. She really is the best and she's not afraid to let people know it. ♥
Since I'm already three weeks behind on Burn Notice, I imagine I'll spend tonight watching ATLA instead of catching up on that. Sigh. So much TV, so little time.
