raining oh it's 8am and my pants are soaking from the rain. yes, I own an umbrella but the ribs in it aren't strong enough to face down the winds of ann arbor so I rarely carry it. I bundled up and the top of my stayed dry but my bitchin cords did not. I hate having wet legs, it feels so uncomfortable and wrong somehow...I only hope that I can dry out before the big boss gets here. There's nothing worse than having to move around in wet clothes...at least while he's out I can sit still and let them just dry. weekend went pretty swell. saw the hot rod show in ypsi which was pretty cool. took me a while to drag spk out, lol would think I was taking him to the ballet! I know, he needs more time for his own shit but I would think that ogling cars is at least a worthy event...he thanked me after for getting him out there. saterday we hung around his place and I am happy to report that I finished the reading for Cornell, who is now a superawesome theorist according to me. she has two major theories on porn, one is to unionize the workers so that they can have good safe working conditions -whcih I totally approve and want to do- and the other is to change the zoning for distribution. bascially there she wants to allow XXX stores to exist whereever they want to but to regulate how they can display and advertise so that people can walk down the street and not be confronted with the images. she states that she does this not for moral decency but to protect women's imaginations of themselves. pretty cool eh? she respects the adult business enough to let it be accessible to those who want to access it but respects others enough to shield them from it and claims that the West End of NY, where she lives, has this zoning and everything is working out swell. she also approves of sex workers being able to sue if they are raped on set and having their film enjoined so that they won't have to see those images over and over again so they can recover. all in all, a very cool feminist, and I bet you thought all of them were against porn! Of course, I need to read MacKinnon today and she really hates porn and men so that will wake me up but at least I found one other person who thinks like I do :D I didn't do much else this weekend, got high, a lot, and learned that everything should be done in moderation. Spk and I used to spend whole weekends just being trashed and doing whatever but now I have learned that being sober has its good points, you get stuff done, and that is nice too. lol, that and all we did when we were high was eat, sleep, and screw...not to knock any of that :D cause we did have some nice hot sex, and good hamburgers, and nice naps, but it doesn't contribute to the good of the world. ok, I want to write forever but I should start work I think...hard hard decisions there. daphne |
