Hump Day

1. I got a card from oracne! I love getting mail. :)

2. We are about halfway done with the last season of Avatar and still loving it.

So far, the only thing I haven't cared for on this rewatch is Toph and Katara arguing. Their arguing makes sense, but I don't like that the girls in the group are the ones doing the petty squabbling.

I had forgotten that it takes until almost the end for Zuko to team up with the Aang Gang. I absolutely adore that the show takes a brief detour into "Dawson's Creek" in that beach resort episode. LOL It was a nice way to humanize the Fire Nation Kids, even Azula (although it doesn't redeem her for me). I love the revelation that the Avatar is Zuko's maternal great grandparent; that's just lovely all the way down (and also makes the episode where he turns into a Victorian maiden with the vapors because of his "internal struggle" make a little more sense retrospectively; it's his magic avatar DNA or something LOL).

I just love Iroh more and more. From within a jail cell where he Sarah Connors it up on the sly, he is still reaching out to his son Zuko in the hopes that he can show him a better path.

I've been thinking about what some people have said about liking and not liking various ships for the show. To be clear, I am totally live and let live for shipping. Give me a good story, and I'll happily read about any ship. I neither OTP nor NOTP. I was thinking about what someone said about not liking Aang/Katara because she behaves motherly towards him (I think it was musesfool, maybe?), which is a totally valid interpretation! But I realized in one of the last episodes we watched (the one where she and Toph fight because of the pranks) that her being in a maternal role doesn't bother me as far as shipping. I am also an extremely bossy person who could be accused of mothering the people in her life, including her husband, which is probably why that doesn't preclude shipping for me. I am fighting the good fight against my inner bossy bessy, but it is a daily struggle, my friends. I keep hoping the lyrics of that song ("I'm a bitch. I'm a Boss. I'm a bitch, I'm a Boss, and I shine like gloss") will redeem me. I'm not bossy! I'm the Boss! LOL

3. Emma got fed up, and I buzzed her hair for her. It looks cute. Very KStew.

4. I've got a hair appt scheduled for the end of July. My mom has made us all a couple of masks apiece that will be great for when we go back to work, but I don't want to mess any of them up with hair dye. Anybody have any suggestions for something I might be able to rig together just for going to the salon?

5. Fiona's birthday is today. I have a 7 year old. *boggles*

I took a friend to the salon and while there were only 2 beauticians working wearing masks the clients were not wearing masks and the clients were very far apart. You shouldn't have to wear it but if you do, buy some of those ones they have at the hospital (they are blue) so you can just throw it away after.

My salon is requiring them.

Josh said he has seen disposable masks in the store again, so I'm just going to get him to get me one.

Hey, do you want those? My corner store, run by a very nice Pakistani family, is not doing that great financially. I could buy an extra box of 20 and send it to you. They're supposed to be thrown away after one use but I extend them by stapling a coffee filter inside then changing the coffee filter.

[lunabee34]

Oh wow. Yes. I will definitely take you up on that very generous offer.

*hugs*

'K! I'm on the case! I was going to put on MY mask, and pop around the corner to the store for a can of Coke Zero. Now I'll make it a can of Coke Zero and a box of masks!

Thank you so much.
