Insomnia FTW
It's been a while since I made one of these 4am posts! Random thoughts, because I'm too sleep-depped to make a coherent post:
0.There will be a post about Japan, which may possibly also contain wedding pictures/pictures of finn being an attention h0r at the wedding, at some point in the future. When I have my scanner unpacked andcan be bothered have brain to write it up. That day is not today.
1. The french prime minister has/wants to ban burkas, saying that they are disempowering to women. Leaving aside the--to me obvious--objection that truly empowered women could probably be trusted to dress themselves in the morning, I feel that there are valid reasons why a woman might choose to dress that way. I, for instance, sometimes prefer to go out in headscarves, etc.-- not for any religious reason, but because I don't appreciate being stared at, whistled at, commented on, or touched by random strangers who think that seeing my body means that they have some innate right to it. Amazingly, I get hassled a lot less when I wear modest dress. >:(
b) Star trek. Thanks to the icon in this post, I now think of that caption every time I see this scene. Some of this is probably just me being desperate for more-or-less openly bisexual characters in mass media (I know that they deleted the scene where Spock Prime is still carrying around the holo-letter that kirk taped him however many hundred years ago, just, you know, on his person during a completely unrelated mission, but...if that's non-romantic, it still speaks of a devotion stronger than most marriages... but the relationship with Uhura implies so many interesting things about Spock's character! D:) but I really like all the interactions between Uhura, Spock, and Kirk in the new film. See this video for further reference. I feel kind of dirty, because... Kirk/Spock is like...your mom's OTP, and I think my dad ships Spock/Uhura. But. I think I totally ship Kirk/Spock/Uhura. (/Bones. Maybe)(/Chapel) Er. This is going to be like Final Fantasy 7 all over again, isn't it? -_-;
B2. Spock and Kirk are a rather famous hero-dyad, but also, has anyone seen the trailers for the new Sherlock Holmes movie with Jude Law? UNF. And now I want to write a paper about the homosocial implications of the hero-dyad genre in modern media. >.> Clearly, English was the right choice of majors for me.
3)My house is so full of boxes you guys. It's all crazy. Moving always feels so surreal to me, with your house all empty and all your stuff gone or packed away... Finn is very concerned too. He keeps hiding behind michael's knees, and climbing up into my lap begging for cuddles and laying around looking generally abused. Mike and I think he's half-convinced we're getting ready to abandon him. We've been sneaking him popsicles to make him feel better.
