I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hee. I just saw the episode with the Avatar play (put on by a Fire nation troop) and it mentioned a surprisingly well-informed cabbage merchant.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Netflix re-uploaded ATLA in HD this week (Who knows why they didn't just do that in the first place...)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ltc wanted to watch a new show tonight when TCG left for his meeting. So, we're watching the Star Trek cartoon, which I don't think I've ever seen before. So far so good.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The musical score from those cartoons just started playing in my head unbidden, and I haven't seen them since the early 1980s!

It was too talky for ltc with not enough female characters to hold her attention. So, we've switched back to the Muppet Show.

I remember enjoying the animated Star Trek when I was a kid (I think Nickelodeon showed it on weekends.) I believe that series was the first appearance of the holodeck.

Neat! I don't remember even knowing about it until recently.

I've reached Toph in my Avatar rewatch. TOPH.

Before starting that, I watched She-Ra. SHE-RA. (and Catra and Scorpia and Entrapta.)
