Wonder Woman
Oh. My. Gods. This movie...it was probably the best superhero movie I've ever seen. It's probably one of the best *movies* I've ever seen. It's definitely the first successful female superhero movie ever made. It hit my heart in all the best ways ( Read more... ) -
Feminist Steps in a Sexist World
As I was writing my livejournal entry yesterday, I began to realize that for me, watching slasher films has always been a feminist experience. But there are a lot sexist qualities to them as well. So I read some articles about that. Apparently, the general consensus has always been that slasher films are sexist. The well-known film critics, Siskel ( Read more... ) -
Weekend Update
This was my weekend to work, so it was really busy. I did storytime on Saturday, which always freaks me out beforehand, but after, I always feel like I could do twenty more. It went well. I had five kids, and they were really reactive, which was awesome! It was also busier than usual on Saturday, which works out since we had four people on the ( Read more... ) -
Ki-Ki-Ki, Ma-Ma-Ma

Writing literally seems to make me so anxious that I've been getting nauseated whenever I try to write. I mean that literally. I feel sick to my stomach every time I sit down to write. So I don't. But the stories ( Read more... ) -
Fifty Shades of Yuck!
With the onset of Valentine's Day this year comes the opening of the Fifty Shades of Grey sequel, Fifty Shades Darker. *sigh* I don't get the popularity of these books at all. I'm not anti-romance novels or anti-erotica. Long before 50 Shades came out, I had been reading romance, erotica, and erotic romances for years. I've been reading romance ( Read more... ) -
Book Update
This year, I have decided to keep a book journal. I'm keeping track of how many books I'm reading, from beginning to end. (A lot of the time, I will try to read just certain scenes in books, and not read the book from cover to cover.) For the month of January, I read 24 books. Seven of them were re-reads of old favorites, since I started the year ( Read more... )
