Hiiii, I'm still alive... :P

[no_apologies]

There's quite a bit to mention over the past week. Prepare yourself... for summarizing... No, this does not involve Ludacris Speed, and going plaid. (I should watch SpaceBalls again. It's been a long while since I last watched that movie. It's one of my favorite Mel Brooks films.)

- My cold has been almost all gone, still. All that's left is a bit of a cough. It's so annoying... I've had to cough up a bit of yuck today. I think my dad has caught what I had. His immune system's not as great as mine, and I send him speedy recovery wishes as I update.

-For the most part online for over the past week, I've read some of the lengthy and well written Avatar: The Last Airbender fan fictions. Happy Endings, Book 1! That one...! The writer blends the action and the psychological content of a teenaged girl who's been a victim of domestic violence well! It inspires me for my two Avatar stories. (It's a second interesting one in case the first story idea gets to be a pain.)

-My Easter was kinda nice. My mom and I had free Starz and HBO On Demand. Finally got to see Guardians of the Galaxy. We want that on DVD. It's so awesome. (Rocket, Peter Quill, and Groot, those three are my favorite characters.) Alexander's Horrible No Good Very Bad Day is hilarious. We want that one too! Also, we've had a bunch of Peeps, and some Starburst jelly beans. :D The jelly beans happen to be nearby where I'm sitting, and I just snagged some. I love the Starburst kind just as much as the gourmet kind!

-Earlier, as I was watching AFV, I saw this hilariously cute video of a Chihuahua trying again and again to get the ball in the mirror. The real ball was behind that adorable dog the whole time. Oh, and there was this other amazing dog who was barking parts of Beethoven's 5th. I've never seen anything like that. One smart pooch! I think the Beethoven dog was a pit bull...

-I finally, FINALLY gotten around to starting over again on the Darius Twin Boss Theme remix. I don't remember mentioning this on my blog, but a while back I found out that almost all my files were encrypted. Some idiot thought I would be swayed into doing their bidding for this Bit Coin thing. I've had to refresh the laptop, and pretty much I got all my apps back... Today, I put together a few beat loops and they're really good. I've felt very accomplished. I've gotten so much better at making custom drum loops! Tonight, after TV shows are over, I'm going to do a bit of recording off my VST. (After that, I hope to get into some RP stuff. I am breaking away from fan fic tonight.)

-There's a hilarious Avatar series I've seen on YouTube called Avatar: The Last Airbender Abridged. Whiny Zuko. Enough said. Of course as whole it's funny but the guy's voice for Zuko is what I love most. XD

I spent the longest time thinking that Guardians of the Galaxy was the name of some Pixar movie. (It sounds like a 3d kids movie!) Then my dad rented it, I watched it, and thought it probably would've worked well as a 3d kids movie. XD It's like the lovechild of Shrek and Star Wars.

(I've always been a tad terrified of the ATLA fandom. It seems ... prone to conflict of the shipping variety. Are you going to watch Korra next? I need to finish ATLA myself.)

Glad you're feeling better, and well wishes to your dad!

LOL, that's funny Guardians of the Galaxy being Pixar. XD Yeah it would've been great as a 3-D movie, probably just as awesome.

Well I'm not one of those hardcore shippers. I've seen season 1 of Korra so far and have yet to watch the rest of the sequel series.

[adraekh]

How does Korra compare so far with ATLA, in your opinion?

[no_apologies]

Well, the Gaang don't get as much screen time as they age. Also, the world has technology stuff, and motor vehicles.

I liked what I watched though. Korra, Mako, and Bolin (and the adorable Pabu) are all cool characters. Oh, and Amon was a blood-bending bad guy.

There are some similarities between the two. Amon is a combination of that old lady and Ty Lee from ATLA. The bending gladiators reminded me a little of Earth Rumble Six.

I hope the cough goes completely soon and that you're dad gets better quickly.

I got Guardians of the Galaxy for Christmas and still haven't watched it though I really want to. Part of the delay is that every time I see one particular friend of mine he asks if I've watched it yet cos he wants to borrow it. I just find that really annoying for some reason so I've subconsciously been putting it off. Hey ho.

[no_apologies]

The cough's pretty much gone. Still didn't have to cough up any yuck lately, yaaay!

Why can't your friend and you just watch the movie together sometime?

[prunesquallormd]

That's good to hear!

That's a very reasonable question. Next time he's round maybe I'll suggest that :)
