Resistance to Categories March 21, 2007

What happened if the cat came out of the bag and people realized that sexual orientation didn’t change a person so fundamentally that they needed to be boxed and classified as ‘other’ or as someone who was so different they could  be stereotyped.
I remember an experience with my father when I first moved to residence. [...]

Video Games – Not so Much March 21, 2007

I have beef with video games and therefor I am completely biased. That is my disclaimer so if you want something objective you will be sadly mistaken by my rampant subjectivity. My house is filled with video games to a point where they become the priority over EVERYTHING. I hate the Wii and the X-Box with [...]

Sell Me Thin March 12, 2007

“In the magazines they talk about weight loss, If I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss” – Lily Allen, Everything is Wonderful

I remember in gym class when I was 9 some boy called me the typical and oh-so creative insult for a female: fat. It had never dawned on me before that my body [...]

Sepulchral Smith February 28, 2007

 

(Note: I am sorry for the crappy structure of the layout but WordPress won’t let me format it the way I want) Russell Smith is a man after my own heart, well sort of. My movie experience was very similar to Russell’s but without the poor attitude. I ponder the same question he does at the end of [...]

Word of the Day: ‘Phantasmagoric’ February 14, 2007

Scatter Brain February 7, 2007

I did all my comments before I wrote my post and am now lost for what to say. Note to self: write post, comment after.
The chapter in the textbook was a little dry talking about television and how it works… well interesting but hard to comment on I suppose. I did find it very interesting that [...]

What I Could Muster Up January 30, 2007

Wow. No offense but this chapter was really dry and boring. I made it through, as I knew there was a light at the end of the rainbow. I wish I had more intellectual things to say about this chapter though. I don’t want to sound mundane about how much I like designing things in [...]

Procrastination & Not the Good Kind January 19, 2007

well now that I have this blog (which I constantly obsess over what i am going to write next – I think ’sustained engagment’ was an understatement Paul) I seem to be using it for the seedy pleasure of procrastination. I have to write a critical comment on 3 articles I read for my advanced [...]
