soc_puppetBriefly!
* We have a Wii; my brother called in to Best Buy this afternoon and found out they had eight left (of fourteen), so we hopped down there and got one for ourselves ♥ Also Zelda. His attention will likely be focused on that for the time being.
* Our zucchini crop has been destroyed by boring bugs of some sort. I guess that's what we get for not using pesticides, but that still makes for a sad LAZOYNFP Night. Peaches are all gone too; Dad suspects squirrels.
* ...I kinda went to K-mart and bought three more Avatar action figures last night. Don't give me that look! I'd been thinking about them for three hours before hand, I had to go and at least look at them, and then they had Jet in stock and and and! Well. A girl can only take so much, yanno? Thankfully, I am applying them to productive things: Avatar Action Figure Theater!
See, this is the reason to buy action figures: to make snarky image sequences without going to all the trouble of drawing them. Also, Robot Chicken-esque parodies. Would these be Robot Artctic Hen, or Robot Opossum Chicken? Also also to play out soap operas with the dolls.
Season One! Where have all the girls gone?
Episode One: Aang and Sokka
Episode Two: Sokka and Jet
Notes: Planning to produce a Jet-and-Zuko one shortly, in which Zuko and Jet can't figure out anything else to do since half the population seems to be missing, so they go make out. Yes, there will be fourth wall breakage in that as well.
I also can't say that these are as funny as I would like them to be, but comedy is tricky? Iunno, just failure me, I guess.
The scenic backdrop was provided by my kitchen.
Remember! Help enable the next season of AAFT to have female characters in it, and write and/or call Nickelodeon!

Date: 2007-08-05 04:31 am (UTC)Wii-having is awesome! I am glad for you and now I feel guilty because I have the Avatar Wii game and haven't played it yet f-fail is me.
Action Figure Theater is awesome! It's totally Robot Opossum-Chicken. I eagerly await the one where Jet and Zuko make out but uh. You know me, that's just how I am. ¦D;
The third count is the Jet figure, which is only maybe awesome because I want it, but I am flat broke. Seriously, not a dollar. CURSE YOU COUNTY FAIR AND YOUR HIGH PRICES AND TASTY, TASTY FOODSTUFFS.

Date: 2007-08-05 07:36 pm (UTC)♥♥♥ XD I thought it might be. XD Yeah, well, I expected as much. And I eagerly await making it. Which may take a little time, as my schedule seems to be filling up a bit.
He's actually kinda ugly in person DD: Kinda really ugly. B-but I had to get him and Zuko because yeah. AAFT with Jet and Zuko. Who could say no.

That makes me sad. ;-; No one, that's who.

Date: 2007-08-05 07:59 pm (UTC)Mine is mostly because of Anime Iowa being just around the corner, but school is also starting soon for me, so.
Me too DD: On the plus side, he looks really fantastic on the "collectible cut-out card" provided on the back of his packaging. And, well. Die-hard sailors of other ships could probably say no, but they'd be too busy trying to buy their own ships. Except there's the lack of girls. Srsly, I am completely baffled how they did not realize the sheer number of young girls who would like to play house with their own Zuko and Katara figures. I mean, it's not my ship, but it is a powerful force in fandom, so!

Date: 2007-08-05 08:09 pm (UTC)I will never figure out why I thought it was a good idea to take hard classes my senior year. I've got Pre-Calculus, US Government (technically this one's required, so not my fault), and IB Music; which, if you don't know what that is, it's a really advanced music class, where we have to do huge research papers on music history. @_@;
Well, at least there's that, then. And maybe they'll come out with a better version later? They might pull a Banpresto!Iruka-plushie deal. The first Iruka-sensei plushie from Banpresto was HORRENDOUS, but then about a year later, they released a new one that was much, much better. (Although, for some reason, on the site I ordered him from, they called him Shikamaru. Go figure.) Honestly! It makes absolutely no sense. It's like they're DENYING themselves money. They have to know how many girls watch Avatar, or how else can you explain the Valentine's Day Shipping Short? I just don't get it.

Yup. Well, maybe; one can kinda hope. I guess. I KNOW. Which was one of my big points in the letter. That was Mike and Brian having fun? :D;;; I am fully of the opinion that they tailored the Season Two Finale commercials just to bait the Zutara fans. Which is actually kinda terrible of me/them, but it still doesn't stop being hilarious in a small, dark part of my soul.

Date: 2007-08-05 08:26 pm (UTC)Side note, there are Appa and Momo plushies available via the Nick.com store. Exclusively. Which might be something I would be willing to draft a new letter for. "Y cant i buy a Appa plushe @ mai stoer? Its nto faaaair!"
...Also, what is your icon from.

Date: 2007-08-05 08:42 pm (UTC)...I want. Why are they not at Walmart. ATTENTION NICK: NEEDS MOAR BUSINESS SKILLZ.
...Did I not rec you to
no subject
Date: 2007-08-05 09:18 pm (UTC)Because Nickelodeon doesn't think like that enough? I APPROVE OF THIS.
You did, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet :D;;; PDF files would be awesome, since then I could read them at home, and also for the arts.
no subject
Date: 2007-08-05 09:30 pm (UTC)Goodness knows Walmart sells everything else Nick produces, I don't see why those plushies (which would be a total HIT with the youngsters who watch it) should be the exception.
Ta-da~an! (http://www.mediafire.com/?9yutj2edlzz) Prepare yourself for ~25 chapters of UST, amazing characterization, lovely art, wacky hijinks, and General Awesomeness. (FYI? This icon is also from SBP. The keywords are, in fact, a quote. ...It will make more sense when you read it. Maybe.)

Date: 2007-08-05 09:35 pm (UTC)Nonsense! Writing letters of protest about lack of toys is far more legitimate than homewor- I mean. Yes, do your English homework first, definitely.I haven't actually checked to see if these are just claims made by the site yet, so I don't know.
Hartz four u! I shall do the downloading dance shortly ♥

Date: 2007-08-05 09:40 pm (UTC)Hmm. Point. The site could be BSing us.
...You know what I'm almost surprised hasn't picked up on Avatar yet? Hot Topic. I mean, they've gone crazy with Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends recently, and they do all the anime and Adult Swim stuff, so Avatar almost seems like it's right up their alley.
Yay! Downloading dance! :Db

Date: 2007-08-05 09:44 pm (UTC)Very true. Mayhap I should look into this, some time in the near future. Though the thought of giving Wal*Mart more money does gall me.
XD Really? Do they do other Nickelodeon things, or just Cartoon Network?
*downloading~♥* *daaaance~! ♥♥*
no subject
Date: 2007-08-05 09:51 pm (UTC)Ummm. They have a lot of Invader Zim stuff. I'm not sure if they've done anything else Nick.
*woooo~!* *dances too! ♥*
