i finished my book
cinderella ate my daughter.
it was a lot better than i expected.
it gave me a lot to think about
and made me re-evaluate
how i look at things
how i judge things
how i perceive things
how i present myself
why i like the things i like
how i react to things.
i'm coming away from it determined to be
more aware of and more accountable for
my interaction with media.
i would recommend it.
(even if you don't have a daughter.)
i am so excited for book club tonight.
it's our first meeting.
i can't wait to meet everyone
and talk about books
and get different perspectives on what we read.
also, i can't wait to pick our next book!

oscar nominations were announced this week.
of the nine films nominated for best picture
only one is rated "R".
this is a testament to the fact that
(despite the industry's belief)
(despite the industry's belief)
you don't have to have nudity, violence,
and offensive language to make meaningful movies.
i don't know if it's progress or a fluke,
i don't know if it's progress or a fluke,
but it makes me very happy.

I have been looking for a book to read! I think I'm going to check this out at the library! And I much prefer papers over exams. It gives me time to meticulously think out what I want to say. I am a horrible test taker!
does this mean your going to stop pushing the princess stuff on Afton!? And are the movies getting better or are the standards of pg- 13's getting lower?
jessica:
i don't like writing papers on subjects that are assigned to me, and that's all they know how to do at fresno state. i'd much rather take a multiple choice test than make up a bunch of nonsense just to fulfill the teachers required word count.
and definitely read the book. it's good.
heidi:
i hardly think i can be held accountable for afton's fondness for princess paraphernalia. if i remember correctly, i turned her on to peter pan . . .
as it happens, the author thinks the worst of all the disney princesses is the little mermaid (your favorite, if i'm not mistaken), a girl who willingly gives up her voice for a man, seconded only by snow white, who basically does nothing.
you should read the book, too. i think you'd really enjoy it. i just handed it off to mom.
