the female gaze

Look with your eyes, not with your hands.


Such a minute fraction of this life do we live: so much is sleep, tooth-brushing, waiting for mail, for metamorphosis, for those sudden moments of incandescence: unexpected, but once one knows them, one can live life in the light of their past and the hope of their future.

Nice girls finish first

Okay, okay, give the oaf some well-deserved credit. Evan (ie. Joe M.) picked the right gal last night, Zora, a credit to brunettes everywhere. I am glad he saw through gold-digging Sarah's facade and picked a goodhearted woman who truly deserved to share a million dollars (the big twist at the end) with beefy Evan. Of course, had he picked "sophisticated and seductive" Sarah, then the Producers would have edited together the show differently and she would seem like the perfect woman for him and Zora would have seemed aloof, awkward, and not interested in Evan. It would have been win-win either way - this average Joe would find a woman who loved him for him and reality TV would triumph, with justice, again. Nice fairy tale though, and of course those bitches at Fox are dragging the series out for another week, next week brings "the aftermath of Joe Millionaire."

Speaking of bitches, it's high time our jterm grades were posted. I need to mail my transcript out to potential employers and grad schools and my impatience mounts like the two-feet of freshly fallen snow blanketing Connecticut and the rest of the northeast. In related news, winter sucks.

My plan today, much like my plan for the last two weeks, is to finish my unpacking, put away my clothes, and set up the larger television set in my bedroom. It's amazing how little gets done when you don't put your mind to it. On a productive note, I did look into apartments in Madison and they seem ultra-cheap, that's a relief. Back to life...
