Ben's favorites are Sokka, Iroh, and Aang. I have no idea what he's talking about, but he seems thrilled there are so many other fans out there.

Hee! When I rewatched the first season, I remembered how much I love Aang. He's just such a kid. In the beginning. He grows up some as the show progresses.

Now I want to watch.

You shoooooooould! It's so fucking good. Unbelievably good. I swear. I marvel about how fucking good it is, the same way I marveled about VM during the first season. (Caveat: Avatar only becomes truly marvelous in the second season, not that the first season isn't wonderful. I was watching part of the second season and catching up at the same time, so it was hard for me to judge the show properly, but I just inducted some newbies, and they agreed that the second season is significantly better.)

We're getting a ton of snow. City, state and federal workers have been told to stagger dismissals, so that not everyone is on the snowy, crappy road at once. What this means for me, a walker? I get to stay to the end of the day!! Actually, I don't really mind, and sometimes those who stay late get to take time off later, which would rock.

I think we really might hit 22 inches.

I will heartily second all of this.

(My favorite is Sokka, closely followed by Iroh, by-the-by)

That's craziness, libkitty! Stay warm and safe.

I've read some of your posts about it. I just ... I don't really like anime. And Ben just told me airily I would never understand it if I hadn't watched from the beginning.

Like I need more TV in my life, you know? And now, dinner calls.

I will heartily second all of this.

I will also say that I believe this show has brought me close to tears more often than any other show. And I don't think I tear up easily, although maybe I tear up more now that I'm older, or something. Life is pain. Life is beauty.

Don't let this stop you, honestly. If you don't like animation at all, then, well, I suppose that's a large hurdle, but I'm not a big anime person either. One of my newbies is, however, and she remarked that "it's like anime, but with a coherent storyline!" The anime title comes from the Chinese/Japanese-style setting/names/character design (although they borrow from a lot of Eastern traditions and philosophies) and the general focus on nature and spirituality. Also, there are wacky animals.

And Ben just told me airily I would never understand it if I hadn't watched from the beginning.

This is rather true because the show is very continuity-heavy. It's one big long story that's been extremely well planned out. My first episode was in the middle of season two, though, and while I didn't really understand all of what was going on, I was sufficiently entertained to keep watching.

See, this seems backasswards to me. If you've got to walk in it, they should let you walk when there are only a few inches to slog through, not 22. Especially because they'll clear roads before sidewalks.

Are you planning your snow fort?

I'm missing snow a bit now.

I'm getting annoyed by my cube-neighbor arguing with her mother about her wedding (the neighbor's). It's better than her fighting with her fiance, I suppose.

But really? I want Tim Horton's, like, NOW. Must... have... Timbits....

Are you planning your snow fort?

I'm planning sitting inside curled up with my kitties and a cup of tea. I have a sneaking suspicion that after walking home in the snow, I may not feel like playing in it.

Also, there are wacky animals.

Not like Pokemon, though, right?

And being kind to your poor frozen feet, I hope. That sucks, libkitty.
