Current Ramblings

I will not get sick this winter. I've already been taking vitamin C and zinc suppliments because of all the terrible things I get exposed to at work, and that's protected me for most of the year from anything viral. (Stuff I pick up from bad fast food, sadly, cannot be stopped so easily.) I've decided to bolster it with some echinacea tea and lots of OJ. Graham's had a bit of this flu or something for a week and a half now, and I think I've managed to protect myself from it. I was feeling kinda run-down yesterday, though, but I didn't really get enough sleep.
So this week is the end of Armada. Energon's hitting the shelves in force, the last five episodes of the show are running on Cartoon Network, and the last issue of the comic before it changes over to Energon came out yesterday. (The letters page ROCKED, BTW.) I think I would feel better about buying the Energon toys already if some part of the fiction had started up, or even if Hasbro had put up their bios, but I don't have the patience to wait for another month before buying them. I keep getting ideas in my head about their characters, sometimes not even consciously, and inevitably the fiction doesn't match up. I'm already glad I picked up somewhere (Talking to Aaron at OTFCC, I think? Heh, I'm gonna assume he didn't just tell me about it 'cause it was me...) that Inferno was supposed to be a young, tough character, because I would have pegged him as older. I'm really sad to see Armada go, though. I think it really hit me the hardest when we watched the final episode at Walky's that he downloaded from the UK showing, but now even the comic is over and we've reached the point where those of us with limited display space put away our old toys and put out the new. It's over, finished. No more plight of the Mini-Cons, who are not only tragic and magical and being oppressed but also very small. I mean, I know they'll be around, but it's not going to be about them anymore. Maybe I'll use the wrap-up to start thinking about that fanfic I kinda want to do, now that nothing new's likely to happen to...well, okay, it doesn't really matter if it gets contradicted, because it contradists everything anyway. But the point is, Armada's over and, while I like Energon okay and all, I'm sad. Well, I don't like that Energon looks like it's gonna have Quints. Stupid Quints. FUCK YOU, QUINTESSONS!
