I owe my good mood yesterday to Invader Zim and the American river...

The kids, and especially Dearra, are into this show called Invader Zim. Zim is an alien loser who was sent to Earth. He thinks it's because he's supposed to set up a plan to conquer Earth, but the reality is that he was sent here because he's a failure, and the leaders just want to get rid of him. All invaders receive a robot assistant to help them in their mission, but what Zim does not know is that he was deliberately given a robot who is defective. Gir is loopy, adorable, loves Earth food, and totally makes the show. It's all Dearra has talked about for weeks. Hm, if I made an Invader Zim interest on here, I might actually lure her back. lol Yesterday morning Dearra was telling me about an episode where Zim repairs Gir. There's a sound outside and Zim tells Gir to investigate. Gir investigates even though he knows it's just a police siren. Next thing you know, he brings the police car into the house with the office. Zim freaks out because now the officer has seen that he's an alien, and he's going to have to wipe his memory. He does it by replacing his brain with a squid brain. Meanwhile, Gir in his upgraded state, realizes that Zim is no kind of leader, and goes on a rampage. Zim, with the help of the squid officer who can somehow, weirdly shoot ink, subdues Gir, and returns him to his defective state. The squid officer has an uncontrollable urge to return to the sea. The end of the episode shows him walking into the sea as Gir waves and shouts, "goodbye, bye, bye bye." And when the officer is out of sight, he turns around and says, "he's gonna be eaten by a shark." Maybe you had to be there, but I laughed all day long. And then at lunch I walked over to the river. I've never seen so many vultures in my life, seagulls too. Well it's salmon spawning season, and the birds are feasting. It was a beautiful day. Meanwhile, back to Invader Zim. Apparently it was canceled back in 2002, but now there's a huge following and people trying to get it brought back. Do you Zim?
