Gene Luen Yang, author of Animal Crackers and American Born Chinese, explains why he (like legions of us) will be boycotting Avatar: The Last Airbender movie.



But wait, there's more:


DC Movie Girl's review of the film explains why you should save your money.



Oh and Mr. Shyamalan, we've read your response to the movie's racism. And much like myself and legions of others:




ETA: By request:





I have to admit, I have a grudge against Shymalan just because I think he's turned into an ego-centric hack who spends more time on his "cameos" for his movies, rather than the actual movies. So I wasn't planning on seeing this anyway but all this crap has been a very real issue since the movie came about and has been ignored by him to a ridiculous degree so I hope it tanks hugely.

Going to be a busy week! Looking forward to the Eclipse premiere on Wednesday, for sure, even though I have to work both jobs that night. I'm going to be SO tired. Thank god for Canada day!

It's a gorgeous day. I ate my breakfast while reading the paper on the front deck. It's not done but there's a roof, plywood for a floor and chairs. Good enough. Just had a storm start up really quickly, had about a minute of hail while it was still sunny, with some thunder and then it was over.

Been watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip for the past week or so. I watched it when it first started but I lost interest quickly. I still liked it but I didn't care enough about it to keep watching. Now that I'm watching everything that aired I remember why I liked it but I can see why it was cancelled. It was very disjointed and there wasn't and there wasn't a solid, overall coherant storyline to link everything together. Just bits and pieces here and there.

Know what's one of the worst things in the world? The hiccups. Especially the ones that last for more than a couple minutes and then you start to fear they'll never go away and you'll end up in the Guiness Book of World Records as having the longest hiccups ever.

The roofing fucked up our satellite dishes (for some reason we have two?) so now my feed keeps cutting out in sound and it's really pixelated. So I've watched the Rifftrax for Twilight and New Moon twice now. Thankfully it's Sunday and there's nothing on. Well, True Blood.

Someone has posted something on my flist that is streeeeeetccchhhiiinnnnnggggg it but I can't ID what or who it is. Often times someone has posted something like EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE only stretched a bazillion times longer and my layout just accomodates shit like that like it's an every day thing. Not cool, layout. Not cool. So I have to wait for whatever post it was to move its way down and onto the next page.

Eating and weight issues aside I've been beseiged with feelings lately. I've been very emotional, up and down, and it's been so draining. I'm not sure why or what's causing it. Usually I can say, "okay, I'm tired and I'm stressed and that's why I'm reacting the way I am" or whatever, I cry or give myself a stern talking to and I'm over it.

I've been very stressed this week with work and just.... other things and I've been kind of on the verge of being able to cry but I haven't gotten there yet. I'm avoiding that, as well, to a point and I don't know. It'll make me feel better but I think part of me is resisting for when I really, really need it. Because I don't think the worst has come just yet. Part of me thinks that I'm falling into a bit of depression again and that scares me.

I think my whole life right now is tired. I don't feel very much like I fit in anywhere, I don't particularly like my job right now, I'm stuck in a bit of a rut creatively and in pretty much every other way. There are lots of things I want to do right now but when it comes time to do it I'm very unmotivated.

I'm excited for New York but at the same time some of the excitement feels a bit forced.

I don't even know anymore. I need a change, for sure, but I'm not sure when it's coming or what it is. It's coming but I need to push through this crap in my head first.

So, in conclusion, please stop stretching out my layout, random post on my flist.

Question!

Tomorrow it's supposed to be 26 degrees and I am SO EXCITED. Today it was very warm and I didn't take advantage of it. Partly because there were so many weird people in and around the house that I preferred to hide in my room, partly because I was being a hermit and partly because I was lazy. But I walked on Saturday night so that's something. And I'll walk tomorrow, I think. Maybe. We'll see.

I finished watching season 1 of Sports Night on dvd. I miss that show but I can see why it was cancelled, unfortunately. Now I'm started on the complete series of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. God Matthew Perry is hot. I don't know how well his new series will do this fall (Lucky man or something? Something with luck in it, I think) but I'll watch at least a couple eps to see how it goes. I enjoy him.

All right. So it's been about five days since I admitted to myself and other people that I'm a food addict. I was surprised at how many comments I got on the post, especially from people I don't think I've ever talked to. I'm happy about that and I really feel it'll help keep me accountable. Here's hoping it'll keep going like this!

It's a gorgeous day here, finally. There are menfolk on the roof, putting down new shingles and I finally have a window again. It's weird how quickly you gets used ot change without realizing it. Now that I have the window back it's a little weird but I love it. I can finally see out. I missed the leaves growing fuller on the trees over the past few weeks and it's now almost totally summer.

It is SO frustrating how long it takes for my caps to upload on a Saturday.

Saw the A-Team last night --no really big spoilers )

I watched and capped "Vincent and the Doctor" last week but I didn't have time to sort and upload them as I was having people over. It's been a week so I won't cut my reactions to it.

LOVED IT. It was a gorgeous episode that made me cry and from the few episode reactions I saw afterwards I gather that was the general concensus from most viewers.

The story was awesome and I felt bad for the monster, as well as Van Gogh. The ending was simply wonderful and all the characters were fun and light and melancholy. The colouring on the episode was also wonderful. The graphics I've seen come out of the episode have been lovely.

At first I was going to filter this, and then I was just going to post it to my friends list but I don't know if that's the best way to enter this new part of my life and health so here it is. The most public private post I might ever make.

I haven't always struggled with my weight. I mean, when I was younger I was a little chubby and thought I was bigger than every one else, of course, but this is the biggest I've ever been in my life so I'd give anything to have the body I had in HS or early university. I started getting out of control in my 1st year, when I gained the frosh THIRTY. But I lost a lot of weight in the next couple of years thanks to meals prepared at the caf and a free gym (oh, to be a full time student again).

This post is about where I am with my weight, my health, my mental view of everything and some revelations I've made on the issue. I want to take this seriously. I want to do something about this because I hate feeling like this.

Read if you want, comments are appreciated. I'd like to be as open as possible in this forum where I've spoken about my life over the past seven years.

Long post under the cut, a bit disjointed at first )

I'm unsure of where to go next as far as how to approach this. I have made resolutions to myself in the past that I won't eat any more junk and I would exercise and do this and that but this time I HAVE to do it. I have to finally grab hold of myself and snap the fuck out of it. I would like to say I'm going to post often with updates but I don't know if I will commit to that. I will try, though, because I think there are other people on my flist that would be supportive and have awesome advice. If I'm going to give this a good go I have to be accountable for myself. So I will try.

The time of day has no meaning when you have no light coming through your non-existant window. It's 3:30pm but for all I know it's midnight because that's what it feels like in my room. Ugh. I hope the windows come sooner, rather than later. If they're delayed I'll grumble profusely. I'm in an annoyed-at-family mood today. Wonderful. I tried to not be but it's a futile effort.

I did get my eyebrow pierced yesterday. [livejournal.com profile] pipry23 came with me (well, tbh. she didn't have much of a choice, LOL) and then we had AMAZING Mexican food and watched movies and fun times were had by all. I want to go have Mexican again today, it was so good. Damn.

--> I finally have my splint for my jaw from my accident(s) that happened over a year and a little under a year. It's weird. It's what I imagine one of those football things is like so the players don't lose their teeth, except not.

--> I have left [livejournal.com profile] spnnewsletter after almost four and a half years. It feels weird. But since I'm not in the fandom it was the right thing to do.

--> Conversely I have posted the newest edition at [livejournal.com profile] tvdnewsletter. I also joined [livejournal.com profile] cw_land. First time I've ever done one of those challenges. We'll see. We'll see.

--> I have plywood for windows right now. 'Tis very dark. The apocalypse could happen outside and I'd never know. Until I went to pee or something. But STILL. It's the principle of the matter!

--> Might get my eyebrow pierced again tomorrow? We'll see. We'll see.

--> New York grows ever closer. EVER FUCKING CLOSER.

--> I'm in love with Wakey! Wakey! right now. His album is the first I've bought in.... two years? Three?

--> Time for bed. So happy it's the end of the week, even though this week has actually gone by relatively painlessly.

--> There are two attractive young men helping my uncle tear the siding off the house. They have been working for a few days now. Today I came home to hear music coming from upstairs, where only I reside. In my room is now a GIANT hole where my window and wall WAS and instead was scaffolding, my uncle and the two aforementioned attractive young men. In my room/window/just outside. My room where I have a life-size standee of Bella, Jacob and Edward from new moon, a full garbage can and dirty underwear in the clothes basket.

*sigh*

Oh, and? I'm going to have plywood over the giant hole for possibly a few weeks. UGH.

--> Y'know, if you're going to crosspost icons and then not post teasers because of spoilers but half of your icons are facial close ups and completely unidentifiable from any other episode of the show... just don't. Post teasers.

--> We had a couple young people pass away so their obits were in our paper. They prompted my supervisor to ask us today what we thought we would look like in heaven. I said people would probably look like how they did when they were happiest in their lives. Which made me think about the concept of heaven and afterlife and I realized when I think about "after" it's a rather murky place. Not in feeling or to prompt fear but more as a waiting area. Not purgatory, just... kind of like waiting in line at some government office. Boring and tedious, than anything. And then I'll come back. I don't want to say be reincarnated because I'm not spiritual like that but I truly believe that I'll come back in my next life, and the next and etc, etc.

I can't say why I think this because I really don't know. It's just a feeling I have. And it pisses me off because, to be honest, I don't WANT to come back. I don't want to fade into non-existance or anything but the idea that I'm going to come back and have to relive things at this point seems so tiring.

There's no reason for writing this, I just wanted to record it for my own thoughts since it was a bit of a realization today. I believe that whatever people believe in is exactly what will happen for them in life/after life, so yeah.

--> Had some weirdness today over an email from a friend. It's something I've been trying to figure out how to deal with for a few months now but didn't realize I was still SO bothered by until he sent me a slap-dash email today. It brought all my kinda-anger back up so now I have to think about what I'm going to say to explain why I'm angry and how to do it in a way that doesn't make me seem crazy. Boys.

--> Started watching Community on Sunday night and finished first season Monday evening. LOVED IT! It was so funny! I lawled numerous times and enjoyed myself a lot. I'm also an episode into Modern Family, too, and I would be continuing it tonight if, like, I could go into my room and all.

What a far cry from last week. It's been pretty nice all week, up into the almost-30's, but today is cold and rainy, and I think we even had some snow mixed in with the wet. Ugh. As a result the dining room is leaking. AGAIN. But it can't be fixed until the roof is re-done and we can't re-do the roof until we get the trusses for the new deck? And the siding can't be done until the windows come in and so forth. So right now we're waiting while the fucking house damn-near disintegrates around us. Pleasant.

ANYWAY. LONG WEEKEND! Woo! Very excited about that. It hasn't been a bad day at work but because it's been so nice I just want to do dick all, which is going to catch up with us quickly, seeing as how we're slacking on some of our work. Eh. BUT BUT BUT! In two months I'll be in NYC, so I don't give a fuck right now! WOO!

I noticed some people a while ago commenting about how dead lj was buy I chalked it up to the site being slow bc of the ontd switch over & stuff. But I've been noticing how quiet my flist has been of late as well. In fact, I've only had two updates in almost 2 hours.

But I've noticed myself posting less lately, too, and spending more time on Twitter or tumblr. Anyone else finding that?

I did quite a cull on my facebook, going from 72 people to 40. I deleted a lot of people from hs/college who I haven't talked to since before I moved. My life and theirs are in different places and, I don't know, it's just not that interesting to me. I'm also kind of toying with the idea of deleting my facebook since I haven't used it since February or something. Couple that with the increasingly alarming security issues wirht the site and it's not really something I want to be part of.

However, when I was deleting people I saw a friend of a friend who I hated through school and who I got stuck with as a roomie in 1st year for a couple weeks (the proctors in years after used our example as a training exercise!! Great! My legacy lives on!). Anyway. I checked out her page to see if hers was locked down a z whattya know, it wasn't. So I saw photos of the baby she had a few months ago and the man I presume is her fiancé. Who looks about 55. I found this highly amusing for many reasons that would take too long to get into but boils down to being somewhat appropriate but at the same time so fucking weird since I figured she'd never leave our town or her parents.

It also served as a reminder to lock that shit down on my own fb.

Getting more and more excited for NYC. Realized last night that ny based shows, like gossip girl might very well be filming when we get there and almost plotzed. JAZZED!!!

Anyway. Typing on the phone is annoying and I have to sleep.

Gorgeous, gorgeous day. And I've done pretty much nothing for all of it so far. We to brunch with a friend, then came home and watched the ep. Love it.

The family is working on the deck for the front which involves removing all the siding so they can re-side the house (as well as re-roof) and the sound of the drill and whatnot is making me sleeeeeeepy. I might take a nap! [ETA] Well, I would have if the uploads hadn't taken an eternity.
