hmm
It's been a while so i thought i'd post something. my mom's coming on Thursday and staying for 10 days to help fix up this place. *worried* that mixed in with the fact that i'll have my period while she's here and it's raining like a mofo (cold icky rain) will definitely take its toll... oh and the presentation for Women's Studies. meh. I have no idea what direction the other girls want to take in my group... it's a mish mash everywhere and there is no coherent thing holding it together other than the fact that Oh look! we're focusing on the Victorian age in North America.
I'm looking for something that is more cohesive than that. particularly: the pre-existing art scene and its effect on women striving to be recognised/legit artists (very male-oriented) and the social environment during this time (social expectations of women and men: i.e. who provides, the correlation of private and public areas of society and the male and female connection to these sections). Given that these are specific and quite broad it is possible to get two people to do each section and cover 30 minutes worth of information that draws from the works we are supposed to read and others as well. This particular approach can address the question that we are posed and draws in theoretical concepts that further explain our position on the matter. The only issue would be figuring out how to creatively approach it. *sigh* I can see someone reading a passage of Milton's "Paradise Lost" and then also playing a video of Beyonce strutting her stuff barely clad in anything or some 50 Cent video where women are objectified and showed as sexual toys.
okay. sorry. main focus of the journal right there. so i had a somewhat bad day yesterday... 4-5 busses (17, 9, and 99) past by before i finally was able to get on one and was late for class (but the prof was later so that was okay...), then i dropped my iPod on the concrete (fell out of its casing) so now there's this ugly dent on the white plasticky section of it. then the busdriver attempted to squish me with the bus door while i was trying to get out (dumb ass). and then it was brought into great focus how single i was in this house of couples and "omg my best friends are all getting married!" not a good day yesterday. things that cheered me up though: it was sunny for the most part of the day, hanging out with Tianna, Megumi and Linda for a bit, making stuffed hamburgers by myself, Ethan's story of his unfortunate run-in with the manager and a bottle-full of icky cheap perfume ( thought it was amusing anyway) and the nice bath I had at the end of the night.
So yes. On that positive note, I shall conclude this entry... nothing more to really say...
