- Avatar was just as amazing and beautiful the second time around as it was the first, and I'm pleased by how many small plot details jumped out at me this time. I still believe that the plot itself was nothing hugely original, but that isn't what makes Avatar such a fantastic experience. Walking out of the theatre tonight, I felt much the same way I did when I walked out of the theatre after seeing in the first time: a sincere desire to be kinder to the natural world in which I live, and the obvious longing to have my own shiny green ikran to jet about on. Commuting to class in the mornings would be so much more exciting if, instead of waiting on the train platform, I flew there instead.
- Last night, at Daniel's suggestion, I began watching these Harvard lectures on youtube discussing justice, and I have to say I've become quickly addicted to them. Tim and I watched one more episode tonight before remembering that it's already quite late and we've got class in the morning, so I've resigned myself to not being able to watch much more of them tonight--but listening to discussions of utilitarianism and libertarianism really make me regret not taking more philosophy courses at UAH. Yes, Archie, you may commence fussing at me for my lack of foresight now, I probably deserve it. Anyway, I hope to watch through the whole lecture series while I'm here, because I'm definitely enjoying them so far.
And on that note, god natt <3
