Elevator Music?

Avatar the Last Airbender has ended and I also finished reading Sophie's World. (A real book! I am so deliriously happy that I have a book that doesn't invovle chemicals or intestines)

A double whammy basically because both left a lot of space for contemplation. At the same time, it leaves a strange feeling of emptiness ,contributed mainly by the former.

Well, this one is a geek out post. -hopes for LJ cut. Doesn't happen-

A Memento for Atla

Amidst my mother's dark mutterings about how I could only appreciate Chinese culture through a western medium and a slightly cramped upper deck bed, I watched "The Boy in the Iceberg" on a small laptop. Thus began one of the most exhilarating journeys ever.


Yesterday, it was over. 2 1/2 years spent with wonderment at what Nickelodeon got on their hands and a wonderful community of people who exist only as user names. It was the Finale, Sozin's Comet, on wide screen TV because I had gotten that much better at ripping things off the Internet.


I don't think I have ever wanted to cry, laugh and burble insanely at the same time before.

So these are what real endings feel like.

Generally, when something as incredible as this ends, I don't quite know what to do with myself. All you can truly say is 'Wow' or you could spazz out.

Avatar may not be the most thought-provoking or intellectual show out there but I think the sheer combination of animation, sound (voice-acting and music) and great character development(which is really, something I have not seen in the fantasy genre in a long time) has led it to deserve the words :EPIC WIN.

I feel immensely privileged to have chanced upon this show and the work of Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. The Track Team has also produced a soundtrack on par with the movies. Last but not least, the entire avatar community who has proven to me that for a million idiots abusing their rights on the keyboard,there are another million who actually have a nervous system attached to their brains.

I still think people should watch the show even though the experience may not be the same.

As the hippies said, "Dude, you just weren't there". Or was it Robbie Williams.

Okay, I think I will go curl up in a corner and cry now.

P.S. Sophie's World was a philosophy book trying to disguise it self as ficition. Oh well,I'm glad it did though.More on that later.

P.S.S Oh, I have felt like laughing, crying and burbling at the same time before. After CAP. Funny.I hope not all goodbyes are that hard to say.

P.S.S.S I cannot believe it's over. Furthermore, there is a plane geometry test tomorrow. I do not find the idea of proving equal sides appealing. Oh and I am a little put out that this finale had to air the same time as the Dark Knight was showing. My schedule got completly tipsy because of this. Stupid marketing.

P.S.S.S Okay this is just because I think there is no such thing as quadruple post-scripts but it's fun to do anyway.Updated links?
