Mysterious Cartoon Reappears Mysteriously
I can't help but notice LJ keeps recommending communities/journals about fashion and dieting/health to me. Gee, wonder if this is due to my listed gender...
Anyhow. Stuff. Continues!
Have friends trying to help me see deadlines for art shows without exploding by helping out with some image editing and things. Thanks friends!
Am back to about 4 hours of sleep a day. Holy hell this makes getting things done difficult, especially getting things done without HUGE ERRORS. Or me at least becoming convinced that whatever I just did is horrible.
But mostly am posting because, any fellow children of the 80's (or even late 70's!):
NETFLIX HAS STREAMING "MYSTERIOUS CITIES OF GOLD" YOU GUYS!
Which I've tweeted and stuff about, and so far most of my friends have responded with "..whut?" but SURELY there are a few more out there who saw this series as kids and stuff. Right? RIGHT?
Because I was totally in love with this show when it aired on Nickelodeon. It was right up there with Mr. Wizard for shows I did not ever ever want to miss.
Even though in fact I never did see the ending.
Anyhow, I have gone 7 eps in so far, and it's held up well. It's clearly a kid show, but it has less fails than I semi-expected, and while it's not RIVETING to me at age 31, I've been enjoying it more than most modern cartoons/kid shows I've had inflicted on me while waiting in lobbies and things.
The little history lessons/documentaries at the end of each episode, I had not remembered, but they're also not terrible over all, and I think that those, with their images of Incan artifacts/gold did for South American Art and History what Disney's animated Robin Hood did for foxes for me-- left a HUGE impression on kid-mind and started some near obsessions. Hm.
I actually also always thought Esteban's sun ability thing was awesome and have actually made some OC's that are vaguely like him from time to time through the decades.
