So, the wedding went off without a hitch - it was freakin' fantastic! I'll have more details later, as we're currently IN HAWAII!!!!

The weather is gorgeous here... Can't wait to hit the beach!

yukinoomoni just made the best three-part post ever on why the ATLA episode 'The Beach' is full of win and Mai/Zuko is awesome, complete with screenshots and witty commentary. I just had to link it.

Excellent.

Cody and I finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood last week.

( Thoughts )

This is hilarious.

And better than the Last Airbender movie. I was more entertained watching these guys, anyway. I liked how they interpreted that Earthbender move-one-rock dance (that seriously has become my favorite lolworthy moment of the movie).

So I saw the Last Airbender movie last night.

...

Yeah. It sucked just as much as everyone said it did. Possibly more. I can't get over the level of suckage of this movie. If I wasn't already a fan of the series, I still would've thought the movie was bad. As a fan of the series, though, it's worse than bad - it's hideous.

I don't even have words for just HOW bad this movie was.

( Oh, wait - yes, I do )

I hope to god the next two movies aren't made. I don't even want to contemplate what they might do to Toph, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee.

My news from last week: dustwing is allowing me to help judge a fanfic contest! I hope we get a lot of entries. It ends on July 15th. I'm pretty confidant I can handle it; it'll be a nice break from wedding stuff.

I'm psyched! I've never judged a contest before; this will be fun!

Comment on this post and I will name a lady in the realm of fiction. Give at least 5 reasons why she is awesome on your own journal and spread the love.

I need to see the rest of this series so I can tell if I'm actually right with these (they're just my impressions based on the first 11 episodes). Stupid Cody and his refusing to watch the rest of the anime until he's finished the game... I should just watch the rest without him and not let him know.

So yesterday I was playing some of the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood opening videos (I haven't actually watched most of the series yet, I just love opening videos) and Cody commented that since the anime is just about finished now, maybe we should watch it.

Cody never got all the way through the first FMA anime. He lost interest somewhere in there (not sure where, and he doesn't even remember). He was interested in the new one because it moves quicker and has more humor (although coming from the guy who re-watched Dragonball Z all the way through, I find the 'it moves quicker' part ironic). I like it because it follows the manga. I liked the first one too (that's kind of obvious, seeing as how I own all the DVDs). But I'm glad this one exists because I get to see Ling animated. Ling is highly amusing.

We got as far as episode 15 last night (started with episode 4, since we'd watched the first three a while back). That means Ling and May made their first appearance. Hee!

I'm looking forward to more.

So, I recently finished reading the five-book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Which was pretty good.

All in all, this series was very fun to read. I'm glad I picked them up, and I recommend anyone who hasn't done so to... well... do so.

I know we never took pictures of our house ('cause I'm lazy), but Cody did take pictures of our entertainment centre and the "library" - so here they are.

Awesome, huh?

On an unrelated note, my ATLA artbook came in two days ago! I have gone through it all and it is AWESOME. I recommend all fans pick up a copy, because it was so worth the money and the wait!
