dark_agenda, particularly after seeing the big old Last Airbender display in the cinema the other day. I don't know if I have the energy to write any fic at the moment, though, which is bleh.
Also, I don't have a whole post in me about this, but the 'South African' intertitles and voiceovers and drumming as background music on the World Cup coverage here are starting to make me twitch. As is the whole 'yay rainbow nation' media coverage; I realize that no, most MSM outlets can't really do hard-hitting journalism during a global sporting event, but...seriously. This is not to say I know loads about the politics and situation, and certainly not on a personal level; I'm a white American and my interest in the history and politics of the countries of Southern Africa is only academic, but ffs, the lack of depth makes me cringe.
As you do, of course.
