Food for the belly, food for thought.

So I bought some supplies for cooking! And also some Nutella, which is a yummy chocolate spread and is basically a desert, though I thought it would be more like peanut butter. I read an article called "Doing Gender" that struck me as a bit out-of-date in its assumptions about gender politics and balance of power in the workplace. It said that female physicians were excluded from clinical activities and that a lady engineer was encouraged not to fly in the plane she designed and throw a party for her colleagues. But the thing is, no one says girls shouldn't party any more, guys in a profession get in big trouble if they do anything that smacks of male camaraderie (even if it has nothing to do with work hours), and women are even involved in direct combat in war. So a lot has changed since the late eighties. I think our professor should have chosen a more current article for our first class reading. Not to mention that the article narrows its focus to people in affluent American society, whereas I think the real future of the women's rights movement is in different countries.

I also saw "Labyrinth" and "Casablanca". TOO MANY MOVIES.

BurrrrITO

Today, we was gettin' burritos, and this guy in a funny hat in front of us said "burrrrITO" to the foodservice man very loudly before he made his order. I thought that was unnecessary.

A Negativity-Style Post

I started reading Twilight last night. How unrealistic. How utterly unrealistic; the author must truly never talk to people, because she does not know how to write humans.

Aside from that, packing ahoy! My stupid letters of recommendation are still not in. GAH.

One the bright side, I had processed noodles for lunch.

Fly Me To The Moon!

Sometimes, I do stupid things like starting blogs. This is one of those times. What news would you like to hear?

Yesterday I finished an essay. That is some news. And I listened to songs by the Proclaimers that I had not heard before while I was writing. The thick Scottish accents soothed the raging beast within my soul that is hungry for marshmallows.

I promise you, future blog posts will be better written/ more entertaining than this. Today is a weird day. Today, I pack.
