I needed a break from my Supernatural fic. Because porn is coming and I always start procrastinating when it's time to write the porn. Which is weird, since I read such exorbitant amounts of it.

Watch as they wrestle with these (de)pressing issues while trying to keep people from getting killed by the various other nasty beasties that kill people.

Though since I just wrote 477 words in 21 minutes that number can now be adjusted to about 3,330 words. Progress is being made.
PS.
And please God somebody tell me why the advertisement bar on the side of my screen is telling me to visit the Official Site of Tom Cruise?!

Linda and I are doing a mini NaNoWriMo. 25,000 words by the end of the month. But I'm cheating and not working on one piece for the whole time because I want to finish my old stuff.
So, current cumulative count: a measly 1,526 words.

The wife kisses the husband goodbye, she watches as he backs out of the driveway. A jogger stops on the sidewalk to tie his shoes. He watches the husband roll out of the driveway too. As soon as he drives off the jogger puts up his hood and charges at the door. The wife is washing dishes at the sink when he bursts trhough the door. She breaks the dish in her shock but the alarm rings out and scares the burglar off. The phone rings, hurray it's the Brinks Home Security Man, complete with broad shoulders and chiseled jaw. (Sidenote: all the people in the commercial are white, but at least they didn't make the burglar a black guy right?)
Then I thought, hey, isn't the victim in the other Brinks commercial a woman too? Yes, yes it is indeed. This time it's a young woman getting ready for a date, trying to decide what to wear when she hears a noise at the door and a black-clad figure (presumably a man, from the size but it would be unfair of me to assume anything) breaks the glass door. Then the alarm rings, and voila the Brinks home Security Man makes the call and "[sends] help now."
I also remember a third commercial now, also with a female victim, this time an adolescent whose parents have just driven off for a party or something. Also with trusty Brinks Home Security Man answering the phone, instructing her to "stay on the line while [he sends] help."
Three commercials, three female victims, three male saviors, and at least one, presumably three male assailants, two of which waited for the man of the house to drive off before attacking.
Moral of the story? Men are the protectors, women are the damsels in distress in need of protecting, and even when the only action required by the savior is pressing a few buttons, the protecting and saving STILL needs to be done by a man. And no man is ever in distress. Men are always in the position of power.
And should you ever use this example and get the response "Oh more of this feminist crap again!" in my opinion men should be pissed about this portrayal too! It's this kind of crap that keeps many men from asking for help if they have been or are being victimized and makes them ashamed for being victimized and supposedly weak if they manage to overcome their initial hesitation at seeking help/redress. I would be pissed about that if I were a man! That's no fucking fair!
What are guys supposed to do, pump iron until they have no necks and stay up with a shotgun in their hand just on the offchance they get robbed? Because apparently Brinks doesn't intend to protect men with their alarms, only women and property, if the designers of this commercial can even distinguish the two.
You could pick pretty much any other commercial you've ever seen and do the same kind of analysis. Most of the time television images are Not subtle in their stereotyping. No one is safe!

First I just wanna say these posts are as much for my own archival purposes as for anyone else's enlightenment so don't feel like I'm beating you over the head with all these links or anything.
On the ohter hand it would be cool to talk about article like this wiht other people and see what they think. I wish I had more friends who were English majors!
http://www.thesmartset.com/article/artic
It's a book review by Jessa Crispin (Blog of a Bookslut: http://www.bookslut.com/blog/) of The Broken American Male: And How to Fix Him which is written by a Rabbi. His proposed solution is apparently marriage. Other texts that show a "surge in misogyny" as the Rabbi phrases it are mentioned and quoted in the review.
For example: Last year a few video trailers for Chad Kultgen’s novel The Average American Male came online. In one, a man bitches about the price of the dinner, demanding a blow job in return. In another, a man tells a girl he loves her only to get her to give him a blow job. And finally, over dinner with his girlfriend’s family, when the father asks, “We’re just wondering when we’re going to see a ring on our little girl’s finger,” the Average American Male replies, “As soon as she learns to swallow without gagging and take it up the ass without crying.”
Lovely. I wonder how many men would agree that pegging and cunnilungus are staples of the American sex life, especially when a woman phrases a request for oral sex by saying: "I cooked dinner, now it's time for you to Eat Fish!" and pushes his head down? Probably exactly 0%. In fact the Average American Male as described above (who in my opinion is Anything But Average) probably doesn't know what pegging is, but I bet it would make him cry.
Er... that last paragraph should be read with a sarcastically cheerful inflection, because it's not meant to be as rude as it sounds.
It's just so frustrating that men and women never think of their pet peeves in reverse!! They think about what the other gender "never does" without thinking about what They're doing! Women can pay for dinner and men can give oral sex too, if those issues are really that important to you!

The article is called: "Local Idiot to Post Comment On Internet."
Quote: "Later this evening, I intend to watch the video in question, click the 'reply' link above the box reserved for user comments, and draft a response, being careful to put as little thought into it as possible, while making sure to use all capital letters and incorrect punctuation," said Mylenek.
I love when people write articles about the rise of commercialism in this country that are heartening rather than depressing. In the above article: how chain bookstores, far from spelling doom and gloom to all intellectualism in this country, have brought more serious titles to the suburbs (where I and the majority of the population actually live, you NYC snobs) to rural areas and into popular culture than ever before.
So basically all the independents and bloggers moaning about the end of intellectualism brought by big chains are really moaning about the end of intellectual elitism adn their own membership in a no longer all that exclusive club.
I read something similar recently on a livejournal community where two gay and one straight person were complaining about the recent fad of bisexualism/homosexuality basically saying that it's all wannabe's now. To a certain extent I can agree with that because I'm betting that the majorit of the girls participating in lesbian scenes with their friends in Girls Gone Wild or kissing each other at frat parties are only doing for the male attention it gets.
But correct me if I'm wrong but the recent so-called fad of homosexuality has made it more acceptable to Be homosexual and where previous generations had to hide it or face endles brutality or at the least stern disapproval can now come out of the closet without That Much fear. One of the coments said "Sorry you used to be special and now you're no longer part of this exclusive club."
Yes, exactly.

I was feeling off all weeked my head full of fuzz probably because I was on and off my pills because I was running out. My stomach was all unsettled the whole time, made shopping kind of a bitch.
We went to Sydney's again. Our waitress sucked. The salad was awesome as usual. I wish I'd gotten the prok and leek dumplings instead of the fish sandwich. And next time I am getting spinach because Carolyn got some and they make it with garlic and butter and it was really insanely tasty. I should learn how to make it.
The Mist is a very upsetting movie.
I need to hurry up and apply to Barnes and Noble or I will end up working at Walmart.
I need to read my library books.
Read the comments, they're even more entertaining than the article.
PS. I don't really see much problem in extrapolating the results of that article to the human species. Some of the prime examples bisexuality came from primates of various types so it would not be far-fetched to conclude that since it also occurs in humankind it is not "unnatural" despite what morality may say about it.
I suppose people are entitled to the belief that it is immoral so long as they also acknowledge that the rest of the world and particularly the government and its laws are not obligated to enforce their morality any more than the government is obligated to take rights from those who practice pre-marital sex or other moral equivalents. The failed attempt to abolish alcohol from the US comes to mind. That law was based on strong enough moral grounds to get an amendment ratified but was repealed shortly after because the many many people who didn't share that moral judgement on alcohol were furious and disobeyed the law.

Of course the fact that the essay is on the history of lesbianism and not say, some BS about Foucault does help quite a bit in retaining my interest. =)

But now, I get three day weekends to spend more time reading and writing!
I feel bad that I'm trying not to focus on fanfiction much because I had tons of ideas that I do want to write, plus I'm in the middle of that Andy epic.
I've been reading tons of literary blogs lately. I'm resisting the urge to talk about the 100+ comment-feuds inspired by Tao Lin's philosophies of art and their clashes with the publishing industry. Alot of which I find pretty hilarious, but I think that if I talked about it people would slowly but surely stop inviting me places because I made them bored out of their minds so...
