This weekend: FAFSA, and meeting with a very nice person of thus far indeterminate gender about new Korean class. And more sleeping. And maybe Sherlock Holmes if Em's feeling up to it. Also some writing will probably go up on the Fifth House filter tonight, so stay tuned!

SO my Christmas was good. I got a lot of awesome practical things that I now don't have to buy myself (HOT WATER BOTTLE♥) and an awesome plate set and really my whole Christmas was so adult I can hear my younger self's horror from here. I LOVED IT. ...I also got a whoopie cushion, but that's pretty standard stoking fare.

I saw Avatar also, which as I said to graymary was very fun to look at and not fun* at all to think about. I enjoyed the visuals a lot but got caught up somewhat not only on the racial/colonial issues but also on things like why, if this alien race is so incredibly different from us, does it express its affection with mouth kissing when there are a number of civilizations on this planet who thought that was weird until very recently or who still do, why pleasing events warrant laughter and smiling from these same aliens when again, this isn't even global on our own planet, and so on. I mean argument can be made for "the aliens had to be fuckablerelatable!" but after all the wankery about how much sensitive detail had gone into how OMG DIFFERENT they are, it was a little jarring for me. Other people are probsbly discussing the racial issues better than I would, but suffice to say, there are many, and they are unpleasant. Ah, well. Hollywood.

*Pretty obviously not meant in the "why are you ruining my fun with your over sensitivity" fashion, guys.

Holiday was good! I am really not happy about having to go back to work for various reasons that I may go into later. But! At least this year is ending, woooo.
