This is what I'm listen to while trying to apply Mulvey's call for the destruction of pleasure in cinema to one of my fav films, Annie Hall, out of a vapid masochistic need to prove wrong the writings of any theory club. More importantly:
Girl 1: "I have my Facebook language set to French. How pretentious is that?"
Girl 2: "Oh, do you know French?"
Girl 1: "Well, I can speak it... but I can't really hear it. You know? Like if I'm watching a French movie with subtitles, I can definitely, like, imagine the words."
Girl 2: "Yeah, totally."
Like if I'm watching you speak, I can definitely, like, imagine what you mean. Oh wait no.
shit
It's like she speaks imaginary french.
I think it would have been funny if a french person turned around and cussed her out and then was all "could you like, totally, imagine what I just called you?"
Also, my fellow major was recently in a vicious fight with a philosopher in a case of major elitism. Calling philosophy a bunch of "wispy, ephemeral arguments" and english as "hard textual analysis," I felt the need to step in and claim that really, "hard textual analysis" is just as much pseudo-intellectual dreck at an undergraduate level as philosophy is in its entire existence.
I like livejournal, it is very nonjudgemental. Unlike that blogger bitch.
