I don't care what people say: I love M. Night movies (for the most part, I don't think the few bad ones outweigh the awesomeness of the good ones) and I loved the Avatar cartoon. I'll be seeing this movie opening weekend. Nor do I care about boycotting it due to the lack of ethnicity. I agree, there could be more, but eh, crap happens.



This will be airing during the superbowl aparently.

And excuse me as I fangirl over Dav Patel as Zuko. Been wanting to see him in another movie since Slumdog, and he's playing my fave character from the show. That's enough reason alone for me to see the movie, and I've been hearing awesome stuff about the guy playing Zuko's uncle.

And look look! About 10 seconds in, top left hand corner... APPA!! I can't wait for the movie merchandising to come out. I want a plush Appa dammit.

Glee ... I mean Gureeeeee!

The Japanese tv promo:


Aparently Japan is dubbing Glee for Japanese broadcast. At first I was thinking they were making a Japanese version of Glee which would demand I seriously search high and low for some downloads, but now it only seems like they're dubbing it.

... Depending on the voice actor cast, I may still download it IF I can find downloads.

Yes, I'm well aware I'm a geek with no life.

Anyone else read it? I really want that certain someone to die, but I'm really beginning to wonder if anyone of that age group really stays dies in this comic. If they do stay dead this chapter will be a great turning point for this ninja epic.  A totally unexpected turn from otherwise a boring testosterone fight in a shonen manga, but then again if it stays I'm going to dedicate a drink to the Naruto creator, Kishimoto, when I drink this weekend.  It's a rather bold move for the story.  But again, it all depends if it makes what happened final.

I do so love this ninja comic even if it does have questionable pace of inconsistencies.  I hate that it feel like it's a guilty pleasure, but then I can find so much to praise and defend I don't feel right about calling it a guilty pleasure.  Oh sure, maybe certain things contradict things in the story previous, or they've yet to address something, but I personally think people question laws of comic worlds too much.  Have fun with reading it.  Enjoy.  And then wonder in depth about the details later.

Also finally getting around to the Sai in the Naruto anime marathon I've been doing has made this anime so much better for me. Sai is awesome. I don't understand why people hate him so, and he has by far the best and most gay (in a good amusing way) ending credits for the show yet. I must cosplay him someday, but I'll really have to tie down my chest. I can't wait to get to team Hebi now if Sai alone is amusing me this much. Only 100 episodes or so to go now.

I am far from a mac geek of any sort. I and am a total PC person, love it, stand by them, really don't want a Mac computer of any sort. But this is one bit of Apple tech that has tech geek in me squeeing. I need money. I need another job even. Hell, how much am I getting back on my tax return?

Push aside all the skeptic thoughts on the applications and movie watching features they showed and ask yourself, if given the option of reading a book, a comic book, anything on this thing you can curl up anywhere with, would you?

I'm a giant bookworm who has been skeptic about ebooks for a long time. I just don't want them. Reading a book on something like Amazon's kindle just doesn't seem appealing to me in the slightest. However this iPad has a stubborn bookworm such as myself actually wanting to give it a try. Keep in mind that this is just one possibility you can do with this. Imagine scanlations, text books, school presentations/teacher power points, hell, even stupid shit like fanfiction on this thing. Anything with which you use the act of reading, this can do it and comfortably from anywhere.

I work at a bookstore and now I seriously think I may see the death of massively produced and marketed books. I don't know whether to be scared or to cheer.

And that's just in reading. Already I can see another use of this thing for me; While drawing I use my laptop for reference pictures. I'll sit there drawing with my laptop to the side with a picture on the monitor I'm somehow working into my drawing. I'm very limited of course as to where I can do this seeing as my computer is big, bulky, has a computer keyboard and mouse, and worst of all needs an outlet for the plug because the battery is a piece of shit. I would have so much more freedom with an iPad for this major part of a serious part of my life, something I live to do. For me this is a serious jump in the evolutionary scale for me.

Sign me up for an iPad. I just need to get some cash.


On a side note... yeah, that expression the doctor is making in my emotion-con? That more than likely WAS my face while watching that iPad presentation.

Been a while since I've posted hasn't it?

Well, Sunday I'm going to Sarasota (4 -5 hour drive) for the National Portfolio Review Day they're hosting which is basically most art schools in the country sent a rep to look at portfolios. I've been slowly working on mine, getting it ready, but I just did the worst thing I think a person in my position can do.

I just looked up a website with a zillion student portfolios that have been accepted in to various schools.

Now I'm freaking the frak out.

I REALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT! Now I'm feeling in the pits. I'm still going to go, but I only pray that everyone's portfolios there doesn't look likes those, otherwise I'll feel really out of place. It's been too long since I had an actual drawing/painting class.

New Skip Beat and Gakuen Alice chapter all within 24 hours. Huzzah!! And the content of the chapters...

CAPLOCK CANNOT FULLY EXPRESS MY FANGIRL JOY.

Now I shall go nuts waiting a whole month (January 20th at lest, geh...) for another 30 pages. You have no idea how much I wish for those 30 new pages of a chapter each month. Waiting a month drives me nuts I find I can't find enough of a distraction. Oh sure, finals distracted me plenty this month, but still, the yearning was there! Who would have thought I'd love Skip Beat and Gakuen Alice so much?! I was all for hating Skip Beat and never even giving it a try when I heard the premise, but I'm so glad I did. Fantastic shoujo drama (expect Aila's attempt at a non-biased review soon). Shame they ended the anime after a season. Maybe they'll make a TV drama becauase I can see an awesome tv drama out of Skip Beat, and they'd save so much money on sets, because you know, the whole backstage thing and the like.

Thank god Naruto is weekly, or I'd really go nuts and would probably give up on that one all around because the fights would piss me off. Shoujo manga at least give us story progression with every chapter! (for the most part) ... and I say that while I also wait monthly for Vinland Saga and Claymore. bah. And a new Ouran Host Club chapter won't come out until the 24th. Ugh. Seriously, I might as well mark these all out on a calendar with how much I check for updates. Then once their release date in Japan happens I'll be stalking frakking Mangafox until a scanlator posts.

I really need to find other weekly manga to enjoy. It'll make the waiting go by fater.

Hmm, just finished my last term of community college, and I find manga chapters are aparently the highlight of my life. I need to do something about this. Really thinking about getting a 3rd job. Need to save up money for moving to whatever Art school I get accepted to next fall. IF I get accepted to a school... *queue Aila going off to read more random manga in an attempt to forget about her applying to art schools worries*

Hmm, been a while since I fangirled on this thing, hasn't it?
