State of the Nena.
Grad school applications: 2.5 out of four complete and submitted. The .5 would be the NKU app, which unfortunately is a two-part process. Yes, that's two steps in paper submission before you even get to the interview stage. Thank goodness they have a final application deadline in freakin' June for the fall semester.

Even with your insistence on revolving entire storylines aroundSparklepunk Mary Sue Layla Miller, you're still so, so good.
Linky-links: Derek Kim on the Avatar movie. Read it. NOW. Derek Kim is an amazing writer, and if his words can't convince you that "racist" is exactly the right word for this shit, then nothing can. Also: It just keeps getting worse. However, there may be a way to make lemonade from all those lemons.

I wonder what would happen if a publication such as Entertainment were to publish Mr. Kim's essay, complete with pictures? So far, it seems like it's only fans making a stink about this. It seems like the complaints really need to be made more mainstream. What if someone were to point this story out to the people who make shows like Access Hollywood? It seems like it would be a juicy enough story.
Isn't there some equivalent of the Anti-Defamation League or NAACP for fighting racism against people of Asian descent? If there is, why haven't I heard anything about them getting involved? Because really, if this were about whitewashing black characters, you know activists would be all over this like white on rice.
Hollywood! UR DOIN IT WRONG! I BITE MY THUMB AT YOU, SIR! (╬ ಠ益ಠ)
