I went to college!
And I stayed awake all afternoon!
that took *work*

Teach has a cold and was trying not to do much talking today, and we were in a different classroom so we could use the computers but then they didn't so much work. But it worked out because today the class really got talking and having a big academic type argue about, well, most things really. Including women's magazines and 'what kind of people read Heat anyway' and the binary construction of gender and how gay and lesbian people mess that up and how butch and femme lesbian roles mess with it too and other things that are much discussed in the textbook and readers and stuff but seemed to be being more reinvented cause nobody referred to the books. But then I didn't either and I've read them a lot.
And teach was sorta grinning and only nudging back towards topic every now and then so it was the fun kind of discussion.
And also we learned about Foucault and Butler and constructions of identity in discourse, which is the bits of theory that I think of first and which annoy me far far less than most of the other stuff we've studied, so fun.

... I didn't quite have a headache. I still don't quite have a headache. But if I gave up now and went to sleep I think it would be a good idea. Or else I'll have a headache.

We're supposed to write something on the discussion board for homework.
... not today. before next lesson will be plenty methinks.


Next week the text is My Beautiful Laundrette, which I own on DVD and would watch on purpose if I weren't studying it. Well, in theory. I'm pretty sure last time I watched it I was also studying it.
... come to think I'm not big on rewatching. There's always such a stack of things that I haven't watched yet. This makes it kind of dumb to buy DVDs in the first place. Huh.

Anyways, am done now. For the day and possibly for the week.

oh, except it's my sib's birthday tomorrow and I should go do something for that. Maybe say yaay or something. Possibly some time in the evening. *snore*

I went to sleep
but I has superfan powers and I woke up
just in time to watch JB sing and watch the DW thingy
:-D

... that was really extremely meta, yes?
I am amused.
a lot.

... especially about the beard thing ...

now I are taking painkillers and going back to bed
... superfan powers of spacetime sleep perception apparently hurt.



oooh, lookit, can watch it on the computer
