one more miracle

Dollhouse, Joss Whedon, and the Strange and Difficult Path of Feminist Dudes: Some Thoughts - This is a truly excellent blog post about Dollhouse and why it works. It's an excellent perspective on Dollhouse as a show entirely about consent, and discusses how in order to deal better with nasty issues, the metaphors necessarily have to be uglier. Also contains an interesting thought on how Topher may be a self-projection of Joss himself, in that it is his job to hire beautiful women and make them do what he wants, and how that's sometimes a little creepy. Well worth a read, particularly if you dismissed Dollhouse because it creeps you out or something.

I really hope this show gets another season! Same with Castle.

I saw Jeremy today for the first time in a couple weeks! I missed his faaaace. We have coffee plans for Friday, yays. \o/

I graduate from college in just over three weeks. o.O

I don't really have anything else to say! I just wanted to share the Dollhouse link. Hope you all had a good Hump Day!

Christ, I hate college students. :-/ I had to venture out of my apartment three times to do my laundry this evening, and there's loud music pounding from at least three separate apartments. I had to tiptoe gingerly around empty beer cans and puddles of beer, open doors to buildings for people carrying more alcohol, and run into a very obviously drunk dude (who was in my 20th C Lit class sophomore year). Also, the other buildings smell like ASS. I got so lucky with my neighbors. I feel like an old women, but yeah. HATE. >:(

Instead of partying, I watched Dollhouse episode four with Rob. I KIND OF LOVED IT OKAY. ( Cut for spoilerishness )

I am successfully hooked, I must say! Phew. Now I just hope Fox gives it an adequate chance to fully come into its own!

I also saw WATCHMEN!!!!!!!! ( Love love love. )

Also, Desolation Row on theater speakers is ORGASMIC. Unf unf.

ETA: So it turns out the guy who plays Adrian/Ozymandias, Matthew Goode, is deeply and fabulously BRITISH and HILARIOUS and I LOVE HIM. :D

After Watchmen, I went to the mall by myself. I just wanted some black flats and a hoodie! I struck out on the former, and I have decided there is a world shortage in cute hoodies, because I went to like SIX STORES WTAF. It was IMPOSSIBLE to find a cute hoodie that didn't fit really weirdly. I went to Kohl's, H&M, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Hot Topic, Charlotte Russe, A MILLION PLACES. Noooo luck. Finally I went to Bonton, a department store. I found these gorgeous ones in the designer section but they were Lucky jeans and $90-130. D: I was very sad. Apparently only a lot of money can buy you a cute colored hoodie with nice patterns on it. So I wandered around that area more and finally found these soft pretty hoodies by another, less pretentious, designer. Sadly they didn't have any fun designs on them (I wanted something girly!) but they did have a lovely dark pink and they fit me beautifully. And only $25 on sale. But it was a less than satisfying conclusion to an EPIC journey, argh. I did on the other hand find a pair of soft, light, super comfy pajama pants for $6.40 on clearance. So that was nice.

Anyway, now I'm exhausted from walking around the mall for like 3 hours. And I have gotten nothing accomplished today, as usual! Tomorrow I have brunch at Ryan's, and then I'm in a concert in the afternoon. I suppose my paper/studying will happen at some point. *hands*

*noises only dogs can hear*
