*hums*

Cat is better this morning, but I still have a phone call to place to the vet - if we actually feed her as much as she wanted, we'll run out of food inside of 24 hours, and she's a bit pukey in the bargain. Better is relative - she did NOT want to be in a bedroom by herself, she did NOT like getting fed by syringe and I got a few grumbles. Just a few.

Not nearly enough. She did have the umph to get into a chair and hide under the computer desk. If I get home and find that she's barfed up everything, we start over again.

That also added a whole set of routines to a morning already full of new routines - go us. I don't think anyone was late to work this morning, but just toss a few more balls at us and watch the whole thing fall apart.

I now know the consternation of 'my kid is not happy about going to daycare' and 'once he was there, he was happy to be there and is that bad either?' Jim got big cuddles this morning, but he was also the one who got the kid up, dressed and fed while I packed lunches and got the bedroom ready to house the kitty, and moved the kitty over to it. And then cleaned up the bathroom...wait, I sense a pattern here. Right.

Your day, already in progress.

Once in love with Tokyo, always in love with Tokyo -

From my hotel window, I watched the comings and goings of trains day and night on a seven-track railway. Then there's the extensive and efficient subway system, which of course makes L.A.'s look like it was designed for a city the size of Bakersfield. As for auto traffic, it can be miserable, but commuters have alternatives. And I didn't see a single Hummer, the car of choice for Jaime de la Vega, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's deputy mayor of transportation. I'm willing to take up a collection and have both of them sent to Tokyo to take notes.

You don't have to love anime to find Tokyo amazing. Of course, I don't think he knows the why behind so much of the WIN he's finding...like the fact they don't have Hummers because you can't have them, for example...but it's amusing, nonetheless.

If only for the Icon Win -

There's a Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) meeting tomorrow, April 16th in Chinatown, Los Angeles-- where they will be discussing next steps to take for THE LAST AIRBENDER.

When: April 16, 2009 at 7:30PM
Where: Chinatown Public Safety Association, 823 N. Hill Street (between Alpine and College Streets) Los Angeles, CA

I've been working with MANAA over the last few months on this topic and there is a lot they talk about at these meetings that cannot be discussed online. If you're interested in making a tangible difference, and in getting the inside scoop on their communications with Paramount and Nickelodeon, this is the meeting to attend.

MANAA has told me that they would like to see more Avatar fans attend to gauge how many people are genuinely interested in working this issue. I think they're kind of skeptical about the fact that I'm literally the only one who ever shows up. Los Angeles is a huge city. It really makes us look bad--like only a handful of people genuinely care about the issue and are willing to work for it.

It would be me, except for the hour. About that time, a very adorable small child goes to sleep in my house, primarily because I'm bedside insisting on it. I'm VERY certain this is not going to change in my favor, so if anyone else can go - PLEASE DO.

This is one of those times geographic proximity will be in our favor - so if you're as pissed as I am about the whitewash of Avatar, SHOW UP.

Thanks.
