May. 11th, 2008 03:36 pm1. I just friended ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bakebakebake. Boy, was that a dumb idea.
2. So so SO behind on comments, and I'm very sorry, but I'm just reaching that stage in a big project where like - it's due monday, and on thursday you realise you really should knuckle down to it, but you get home late and someone just leant you Farscape s4 and Peacekeeper Wars so you watch some of that and crash, and then Friday you have work in the middle of the day so you don't do anything in the morning and of course you're tired when you get home so you decide it can wait til Saturday, and on Saturday you watch just one episode of Farscape that turns into the whole season (and you also knit a whole mitten and bake a big ole batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies) and then it's Sunday morning and holy shit, it's due tomorrow! It's amazing how you can procrastinate by doing *nothing.*
3. Was there ever a Greek hero whose tragic flaw was procrastination? If not why not?
4. So anyway I'm trying to do SCREEDS of reading for this damn essay - which is 3,500 words which is long for a first-year class and he's all "You must show serious scholarship" blah blah crap blah, anyway we got to pick our topic and I picked Rousseau and feminism for shits and giggles. And my god there's this one critic who is just an asshole! I don't like him! At all! Joel Schwartz, The Sexual Politics of Jean-Jacques Rousseau or something - anyway, what a jerk. I'm so het up about what a jerk I think he is I'm not sure I'm going to be able to write on him while maintaining a standard of decency/ without generating into "This critic's a jerk! A jerk I say! And by the way, loser, when feminists say women should try to be independent it's not because they're evil man-haters who want to do away with men [EVEN THOUGH ROUSSEAU TOTALLY WANTED TO DO AWAY WITH WOMEN, which is funny considering how fond he was of knocking them up, the big slutty hypocrite] anyway, it's because feminists think women and men shouldn't have to relate in a way where men have all the e.g. strength power and money and women provide the e.g. breasts, housework and uteri."
Jerkoff. Also, heterosexist jerkoff. Parenting is not restricted to man/woman, wanker. (NB: he doesn't say it should be, but it's a fundamental relationship he uses to examine JJR's sexual politics.) And I can't get all angry because I only have time to read the introduction and conclusion and what if I miss a stunning treatise on women's rights and LGBTQ rights and single parent rights in the middle? (I don't think so though, because I skimmed the notes and the index and there's a lot of stuff about how women are bad at math and shouldn't be in the army.)
