216 has this poster up and it is too fucking awesome and I want it. I know $1 is totally worth getting the poster but I don't really like Wonder Woman, I just think Lynda Carter here is too fierce to move on with my life without this poster. So, here's my dilemma. If I resign myself to buying that poster, should I also consider getting other posters that are awesome and potentially better suited for my design aesthetic (aka matching my paint colors)? Or should I just go for the poster I fell in love with? Or should I ignore this poster because I am not obsessed with Lynda or WW?
Here are my 3 favs-

First, that stupid-ass. no talent Kenley doesn't get kicked off of Project Runway. Then, Gov. Palin exists in this plane of reality. What a shitty ass night.
Not really, I had a great night. I ate at the local, watched the debates, then did some karaoke. However, I think I'm just now processing that second activity and am freaking out. I don't know what to do. Let's try passing out and maybe the insanity will die out. Shit.
PS Livejournal has been dead tonight and I blame her. The world is freaking out, too. The world being the 49 people that post here. |

Shazam, boos! I've been in this cycle of self-loathing because I want a real* job but I don't want to stay in Charlottesville (so I don't want one here) and I'm a bit short of funds to move somewhere yet so I'm stuck working part time jobs that don't really utilize my degree (or intelligence/beauty). However, I applied to this self-terminating job at UVA's Arts and Sciences (for copying to and verifying information on their webpage). I didn't get it but they offered me a better, as equally temporary, job rewriting web content! I'm pumped. I can make it through the rain, etc.
*by real, I mean something that progresses me down the path of experienced writer, not so much a 9-5 and definitely not on some single-business career path. |

I wish plants turned different colors to indicate how you are killing them. For instance, brown for not enough water, some other ugly color for too much. I can't figure out how to save this one plant I have. Maybe a soil transplant. |

[Jul. 13th, 2008|11:52 pm] |
I figured I should write a more positive entry as not to be a constant downer, also to encourage more posting of good things.
My hair has been looking fabulous recently. I got into the right schedule of when to shampoo it and when to just condition it a few months ago but something was consistently missing (luckily, though, it was looking great at graduation). The secret was that I wasn't using enough conditioner. You really gotta glob that shit on. I need to get my hair cut but at least it still looks decent and feels great. I want something fabulous, though, because I work every night of the week and I rarely go out at this point and I'd like to bring some class to the workplace / seize as much self-confidence as I can out of having to work. Once I have more funds maybe I'll go someplace classy to get it cut. The problem is that new people are so hit and miss, even at fancy ass places. For example, the haircut I got last was from this lady at the mall and I loved it but, a year ago or so, this lady next door to Fusion cut it ($$$) and I do not remember being impressed. I went back, though, because i felt obligated. I guess I could try her again. I'm never vocal enough when I go. I mean, they're artists in a way and I wish they'd be more subjective with their hair cutting. I could always just shave it all off. |

Kroger brand cereal sucks. I thought that might be classist to say but it's true! I've had their Marshmallow Treasures (aka Lucky Charms) and their Cinnamon Swirls (aka Cinnamon Toast Crunch) and they are both bland. I thought it was because I am using Silk Light but I grabbed a handful of each cereal and was disappointed in the lack of flavor each had. Don't get me wrong, I am all for getting cheap ass cereals but I recommend getting the Teeter brand if you're gonna go there. |

| WARNING: WALL·E spoiler |
[Jul. 2nd, 2008|03:42 am] |
Again, this is very slightly spoilery to WALL·E, which I saw today. I'm typing this because I have to flesh some ideas out about romance and WALL·E.
I got in a text fight tonight with Dimitrios because, while I liked WALL·E the film, I wasn't so much into WALL·E the character. I thought WALL·E was sketchy. Actually, I found WALL·E to be incredibly sketchy, which is what the basis of our argument was about. There is one scene in the film that completely irks the feminist part of my brain/heart.
In the film, WALL·E is like the only thing around on the planet. He's lonely, he* watches Hello, Dolly! and that has basically informed his concept of romance (which he fetishizes in the act of hand-holding). Blablabla, he cleans some shit, he's lonely. Then, another robot comes to Earth, named EVE, and WALL·E is happy. WALL·E keeps trying to romance EVE but she** is on a mission to find plant life on Earth. Shortly after meeting, she finds a plant and turns into a lifeless shell for the plant. WALL·E is sad and tries to get her to wake up but she isn't going to. He walks her comatose body around the planet (I got weekend at Bernie's vibes) and, one night, he sits outside with her and watches something (I forget). He then pries her hand, which had retracted when she froze up, out and then he holds it. Her arm springs shut and WALL·E is hurt. Everyone laughs and thinks it is cute.
It creeped the shit out of me. I consider that non-consensual touching. She's helpless, she's given no indication that she is into WALL·E, and he's dragging her body around like it is "Last Dance with Mary Jane". I also think that the act of holding hands here is the most sexual act that WALL·E can imagine; it's like robot sex for me.
Am I making too big of a deal out of this? I mean, yea, the hand is a relatively inoffensive place to molest but I still consider it an unwarranted, sketchy touch.
Part of it, for me, has to do with WALL·E's perception of EVE as an autonomous being. He's so into his ideas about romance and making it work with EVE that he doesn't consider her wishes and desires, despite her state. He's selfish, he's lonely, he likes touching people when they're in comas. I think I have a point, even if I'm rushing the explaining of it.
I don't even think WALL·E likes EVE for anything that is unique about her personality. In other words, EVE's uniqueness doesn't matter to WALL·E. She's simply an other. He falls for her without knowing much about her (she's quite obnoxious at this point, I'd say) and, much later, she flips that back onto herself (when she watches her security camera footage from when she was in a coma-thing) and that is what endears her to him. She falls in love with WALL·E by watching him treat her, in her most blob-like, useless form, romantically. It's so bizarre to me. I'd even say it's insidious.
In summary, WALL·E is a perv, who likes EVE solely because he is lonely and she is another person. There's nothing unique about her that he likes but that doesn't stop him from getting all grabby when she can't move.
*, ** I feel bad gendering WALL·E and EVE but the film does it intentionally, I'm sure. Robots don't have sex but, I'd argue, the movie makes it a point to gender WALL·E and male and EVE as female. However, I'm hoping that WALL·E turns out to be a female robot and all these Disney-goers are watching a lesbian-robot narrative. |

| ugh my head |
[Jun. 4th, 2008|06:59 pm] |
I feel so lightheaded today. Maybe it's a hangover, as I generally feel weird rather than pained when I get them. I've been reading a shitload of comic books so I'm secretly hoping that I'm just developing some sort of power.
In other comic book news, I've discovered that the White Queen is effectively me as a chick in comic form. Not so much her body or choice of sexual partners but her utter bitchitute is what reminds me of myself. Plus, this made me almost cry-
I'd love to have some sort of poster of her but her merchandise (her persona, I guess) is too sexualized for me (although I do digthe tranny look)-

All the stars up in Heaven were rushed by an angel
To see the light in your face better
And if God would only listen
He would surely create us
A hope of his everlasting grace |

There was a song released in the late 1990s or early 2000s by a female singer. She died either before or while releasing that song. It was jazzy. Does anybody know who it is? I can't remember who it is! |
