Back to the topic: Feminist Laura Mulvey describes something in film called "The Gaze" (Which a friend of mine rather amusingly wrote, "The Gays" :P) by which a woman 'prize' character is ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/10/07/visual-pleasure/ It's awkward. I'm a feminist. Should I call myself that? Feminism was meant to be about equality - now you say the word and every man cringes because the word is now associated with man-hating. Perhaps it should be "equalism" or something. And I'm writing about the equality of genders in ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/10/06/all-feminists-are-the-same/ See, I was on hold an hour on Monday trying to get through to MicroDirect about my graphics card replacement. "Believe it or not, we're processing it right now. So you'll have your answer by Wedneday!" Well it seems I shouldn't believe it, because its Friday and I'm answerless, and on hold ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/10/03/on-hold/ It's 5am. "Nah, I don't have uni tomorrow, I'll just double check though, just in cas- oh dear." Cue attempting to get 2 hours sleep. Start falling asleep. Get one of those as-falling-asleep dreams of a zombie biting my face off. I mean, I've been playing watching Paul play The Darkness a lot lately ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/10/01/micro-sleep/ Something just reminded me, and I got to thinking (This is a hate the human/student race blog, sorry :P) Two months before my course started, I was informed I couldn't get campus accomodation because I lived too close to the uni. (Or, there were lots of people that lived insanely far, ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/09/30/give-an-inch/ Fable 2 is out in October, yeeee! Only, I didn't get an Xbox 360. Thing is, I knew I wanted Fable 2, but at the same time there's several games I want for the PS3 - It's infuriating looking for a game when you can't remember the name, btw (It's Folklore, I've ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/09/28/zomg-plus-the-darkness/ Once upon a time, I told Paul "don't look up Goatse on Google Image search." And he did. And I laughed. And he was in dire need of eyebleach. And then I said "Don't look up tubgirl either" And then he did. And then we both needed eyebleach because I'd only heard verbal descriptions and didn't ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/09/22/eyebleach-and-stuff/ Been a busy week - went up north for a funeral, came back down to stay with my parents for a bit, then came home. It was nice to see all the family again, a lot of them never see each other for rows and stuff. Just a shame it ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/09/10/face-paint/ Oh yes, those evil, evil cashiers trying to sell you rip off store cards so they can get their commission, being the greedy people they are. Lets not mention, BBC Three, that cashiers get very little commission for selling store cards. We don't sell them so we can get commission. We ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/09/05/would-you-like-a-storecard-today/ When it comes to animated films, I'm generally very tolerant. I can watch something for kids and be nostalgic, and something that might not be my thing if I need to study it. I couldn't watch the animated The Hobbit. 1977. At first it was nostalgic. The actual movement reminded me of ... http://x111.com/blog/littlemog/2008/08/25/i-couldnt-watch-this/
