School is making me tired and I miss getting to read for fun. I've read at least two books this semester that have been so weird and confusing that I'm still not really sure what happened. I'd really like to get back to my Bitch magazine and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. I mean, let's be honest, I'm still sneaking time to read these things when I can, but I miss getting to do it for hours at a time without feeling guilty.
Today was such a rainy and sleepy day and I wanted to stay inside. I took not one, but two naps today. Two! And I'm still tired and considering going to bed early.
In my feminism and literature class the other day, we recently talked about the film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar! and I really wanted to see it again, so I put it on my Netflix list and watched it this weekend. And even with all of the silliness, I still think it's a really good movie! I mean, you've got three pretty 'tough guy' actor types playing drag queens and portraying them as normal and complex individuals; the film touches on the abuse that children who are different or don't fit in often suffer, it touches on homophobia, and it still manages to have a fashion makeover montage. What more could you ask of a film? Oh, and John Leguizamo makes a really good drag queen; I thought he was a woman at first when I was a kid.
