Sarah, your project was bomb

Just thought I would blog about Sarah's project because I seriously have watched it on YouTube about five times since we first saw it in class. I really enjoyed that watch the stop annimation went with the poem, or I mean depicted the poem. That was just really cool to see and I am happy that I was able to be there for it. Great Job!

Okay, so was the title really a way of expressing ...uchhumm(clearing of throat) ejaculation? Nate gave that idea in class but it was never fully acknowledged as if it was or was not the intended meaning.

T. Williams

After reading "A Street Car Named Desire", I decided that T.Williams was most likely a pretty interesting fellow...which upon my looking I was informed he was. Really cool guy with a pretty radical life. I suggest looking him up and taking the time to glance at his last piece of published work. (disclaimer: involves ALOT about sex, drugs, and sex.)

Women women women....

Well there was a lot of talk about the ladies today in class. The one thing I couldnt exactly grasp was that women are the gold diggers? How about the men that freaking buy them?! No accountability for that action I guess? What the hell is wrong with people? If a lady wants to better herself at that time, its what one had to do. ohhh I could drive this topic into the ground. With that being said I have something I would love for you all to read by Joyce Stevens that was written for the Women's Lib Movement in 1975....

Because a woman's work is never done, and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious, and we're the first to get fired, and what we look like is more important than what we do. And if we get raped it’s our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we're nymphos and if we don't we're frigid and if we love women it's because we can't get a real man and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic or pushy and if we expect childcare we're selfish and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and un-feminine and if we don't we're typical weak females and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man and if we don't we're unnatural and because we still can't get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon and if we can't cope or don't want a pregnancy we're made to feel guilty about abortion and for lots and lots of other reasons we are part of the women's liberation movement...

That pretty much sums our class discussion up. :)

The White Heron

Is it just me or did this seem more like a coming of age story. The girl was young and isolated, when "Mr. Bird Killer" came in and let her know what an attraction was. She then went looking for the heron to show her loyality to the man and once on top of the tree; saw the ocean and had an epiphany about womanhood. She then decided that it was not yet her time to change and revoked her original idea about informing him. I dont know, thats whats I gathered from the story along with the obvious nature vs. science.

First post to see if this thing works...

So i have a joke I might as well put up while seeing if I did this correctly,

How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

The number is really obscure, you probably havent heard of it.
I know it's lame but it made me laugh.
