( Reasons I'm asking you these questions! )
Random poll, I know. But I felt like procrastinating some more. I officially have 133 words out of 2000 right now. heh. Not so good. I'm just really stuck about how to approach this paper. I really need to just DO it and stop bitching about it, I know. sigh.
Last random tidbit before actually getting to work! Something that's really been amusing me in my Film Analysis class: Ok, so we've been discussing how different things like... masculinity and femininity and such are socially-constructed categories and are not inherent qualities defining what men or women are, and my professor keeps describing how these categories are "post-it notes" that we put on people and the world sees them that way and such, and I can't help but always thinking about The Office episode "Diversity Day" when Michael puts the various post-it notes on people's head of different races and then everyone's supposed to treat each other like the race on their head. This wouldn't be a problem (it's actually a pretty good literal example of what he's describing) except that every time he brings it up, I start cracking up, and... what he's discussing isn't actually amusing. But I figured that you all would be much more appreciative of how amusing it is.
Ok, time to work!
