Mary Beth Tinker, you disappoint me.


I came home a while ago from doing a photoshoot with my friend from photo class. I'm SO excited to see the pictures. They looked really good through the lens. But the problem is...my mom decided to do something nice and load my film for me, but she used the wrong one! She loaded the C-41 black and white film instead of the one you process yourself. I hope my teacher won't be too mad. I didn't mean for that to happen.


I went to the library yesterday to do research and I ended up spending most of my time looking at books instead. I got:
1) Early Grrrl - The Early Poems of Marge Piercy
2) The Bell Jar
3) He's a Stud, She's a Slut: and 49 Other Double-Standards Every Woman Should Know

So, here are my ratings so far.
1) I like it. Piercy's poems are very...pretty. But not in a classically pretty way, you know. More of a contemporary pretty.
2) Haven't started it yet. I do hear it's good, though. I wanted to read it for a project in lit. but my teacher disapproved of it.
3) Eh. Ehhh. It's like...bleh. I like it, 'cause it's so strong, but a lot of is really irrelevant to me. I mean, it's by a thirty-something woman who has had several relationships before with the type of men she's attacking ("studs"/"players"/"pimps"), so...I can't relate much, seeing as I've had exactly 0 relationships, and even if I did have any, it probably wouldn't be with a stud/player/pimp. It's an entertaining book, though.


I also got Godzilla. Tha movie.
Chyeah.
