FEMINISM 101

In which I tell you the GLORIOUS things people have informed me lately.

Just an hour ago, someone commented on my facebook status that 'feminism is the new patriarchy'!!!!!!!!??!! DIDN'T YOU KNOW? Now you do. Glorious!!!!! Apparently, we used to work for gender equality, and um - now we don't anymore. So. Feminists of the world, you have been informed.

And the other day, I was told that feminism doesn't bother to critique the objectification of the female body anymore. I'm sure this must be very confusing for you to hear, especially if you read feminist blog posts about this very topic almost every day, but now that you've heard the TRUTH you can reconcile yourself to the sad state of feminism today. It has failed society. And it is a new patriarchy.

Glorious.

I did arts.

Well, the blog kind of 'died', but here I am. And looking back at the old posts, I realised I posted pictures of a WIP, but never the final products. So here they are:

Nothing grand, but my own:)

MS PAINT!!

I loves it.

SO how do I get it on my Mac I wonder? This I ponder, as I procrastinate. I'm gonna get it, and I'm gonna make me a professional quality banner. I'm thinking a peacock, or an old staple: penguin shot out of cannon.

While I'm at it, Solitaire. Need 90s(?) putah apps.

Prototype!!!!

Here's my little work-in-progress:





Actually, that's an earlier prototype. Here's a current one:




Note the changes, head and arms. Still not sure bout the head actually, and the arms...

I like him. He's not quite what I was going for, but I like him. Also I don't know if the little smoke clouds break the clunkiness of him, making it inconsistent. Any advice/feedback please!! (I'm just writing as though ppl actually read this, necessary fiction)

Ha.

My house is no longer cleanliness impaired but I ain't doing any of those things. I am working on an art project though. One I'm supposed to be *finished* dammit. I'm on a robot jag. I wanna design things. I gotta learn some software.

I'm exhausted. I need to get to bed. When oh when will I finish this project? I promise myself I will work on it a little every night. I think then I will be fine, as long as I don't put it off, being overwhelmed by the task. A little bit is fine.

Breathe!

Soon: must blog Taiwan and DISNEY. Hey if anyone actually reads this they should really nag me about it. Get nagging! Also: adventures in rampant consumerism, I has it.

PS mini-post: Space Mountain was CLOSED! WTF? And Star Tours was awesome, I don't care what Nick says.

To do:

This is not a to-do list, rather, it's a list of things I COULD do if my house weren't cleanliness-impaired.

- jigsaw puzzle
- super NES
- xBox, for that matter
- watch a movie/tv
- art/craft project
- start new book (might do that anyway)
- invite friends over (probably wouldn't though)

Torment

Torment is being terribly sick and being stuck inside a (ridiculously filthy) apartment while outside, life blooms verdant green in perfect spring weather.

Torment is having such a pigsty of an apartment. Hey, it was all fine until I had to tear it apart looking for my passport. Which was under a nintendo game cartridge. We're talking Super NES people, perfect size to hide a passport.

Torment is living this strange, liminal existence as an expat in a temporary contract job, loving the money and the travel, hating the job, loving the boyfriend, hating the distance. Do I stay? Do I pack up and face the inevitable - no career, probably uni again, no prospects?

Torment is having a backlog of photos from travels and a terminal inability to upload them to Facebook. Hyperbole? No. This could actually kill me, like if I get so frustrated I throw my laptop into kitchen sink and get electrocuted, or something.

Torment is teaching my third years. But that's a looong story.

Happy Mother's Day everybody!!!
