This may be old news, but I'm not sure how many people know about the BOYCOTT of the new movie based on "Avatar: The Last Airbender."

After getting of 8000 people to sign the petition to change the racist casting choices and being completely ignored by Paramount Pictures, Racebending.com is organizing a boycott of the new movie, where you can sign here.

For me personally, it's not like I care heavily about the situation, but it's just plain stupid to cast white people as Asians. C'mon, what kind of Caucasian parent is gonna name their kid Aang?

Oh yeah, and when the Ultrakids movie comes out in theaters a couple years from now, you can be assured that all the actors are still gonna be Chinese in that one too!

So join the boycott and don't see "The Last Airbender", coming out SUMMER 2010.

It's not gonna even be that great of a movie anyways, y'know, with M. Night Shyamalan directing and writing the script. You wanna see the special effects? There's a whole movie dedicated to that: G. I. Joe.

For the past two weeks, I've written about 20,000 words of my novel. It was pretty easy, I had the plot laid out and knew where I was going.
Until last Monday.
That was when I hit a bump on the road. It was no ordinary bump. It was about the size of...the earth. The only way to get around it was to go all the way back to the beginning and restart.
Some people call it Writer's Block. I call it the Cow in a Ventilation Duct. Because it's a lot funnier than just saying "I have writer's block." Instead, you can say, "I have a cow in my ventilation duct."
Some people will tell you that there's no such thing as a cow in a ventilation duct. Well, yes, there is no such thing as that...until you see it for yourself.
You know the cow needs to be remooved. So you pull on its tail and tug. After three hours of tugging, the cow is now one complete centimeter further out of the duct than it was three hours ago.
There's no easy way to remoove the cow. The only other solution is to just destroy the duct. Of course, that will defeat the purpose of writing and will just give you even more work.
So here I am, staring at this cow who's mooing hysterically at me, wanting to be remooved. I'm tired. I don't want to. But I have to sooner or later or this book will never come out.

Yeah, that's all I gotta say.
