Groundhogs!

WE SAW A GROUNDHOG <3 <3 <3. It looked like a dwarf bear with an oversize tail and an adorable snuffly nose.

Also I introduced Slavena (my college roommate) and Emma (my high school friend), and we all got along like a HOUSE ON FIRE. We spent the evening discussing Obernewtyn (we want the last book!) and Sabriel (MOVIE VERSION YES PLEASE) and Austen (they do not like Mansfield Park, which makes me sadface), and many many other things. and we all came out of it with a list of books we MUST MUST read.

In fact I borrowed a stack of books from Emma. Stella Gibbons' Nightingale Wood! She wrote Cold Comfort Farm, and Nightingale Wood is apparently even better.

Also, Emma and Slavena wrote little stars all around Avatar: The Last Airbender on my list. I...guess I will be watching that soon?

She actually forced me to sit down and watch the first two episodes. So...clearly I'm going to have to keep going.

IT GETS EVEN BETTER. The first season is good, but the other two are GREAT.

I highly second this statement! It's an awesome show. :) I'd like to see The Legend of Korra too which is the sequel to the original series. I'll have to check it out once it's released on Netflix. :)

So happy to hear that everything went so well during your visit with Slavena and Emma! Sounds like all of you had a blast! Can't wait to hear more about it! :)

LJ seems to be resoundingly in favor of my continued viewing of ATLA. Well, once I'm settled in grad school, I'll have to get cracking!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it! :)
