Blog is back! Re: AVATAR.
I finally got around to getting everything back to how it used to be — the only difference is that I’m too lazy to import all the old entries and comments, so I’ll just start everything over again :p
Winter break has only begun (as of this Sunday, it’ll only have been ~5 days), but I have to yet again prepare for round two of the MCAT. I didn’t get the score I was hoping to get (in fact, I got 2 points below my average — test anxiety??), and the score that I did receive I think aren’t good enough to make me feel safe about my chances at a medical school acceptance. Bah. Shit’s expensive and hard. And my GPA dropped even further this semester, all thanks to the +/- system my university newly introduced (halfway through my college career, mind you). WOE.
But school talk is boring. On Saturday, I went to go see Avatar with my mom and sister at the movies, and I have to say I was really pleased. I am in complete love with the graphics. I mean, seriously –

If you can’t appreciate that kind of intricate detail, then you’re just blind. The storyline, as cliché and predictable as it was, was a plot I thoroughly enjoyed (people who disagree with this statement should probably know that I’m a sucker for romantic storylines). I got a Pocahontas/Ferngully/Tarzan type feeling from the movie (Jake Sully = John Smith, Neytiri = Pocahontas, Tsutey = Kocoum) and still enjoyed the movie (which is weird because those 3 movies aren’t exactly my favorites). And awkward sex scene was awkward. But despite it all, I guess the endpoint I want to get across is that thanks to James Cameron, I WANT TO BE AN AWESOME 10′ FEMALE BLUE ALIEN WHO RIDES ON DRAGON-LIKE THINGS AND SCREAMS WARCRIES LIKE XENA THE WARRIOR PRINCESS.
No joke.
