Busy week, quiet weekend. Friday I reported at the faculty meeting on which candidate for the contemporary position the grad. students liked the best. Now I have a ton of work to do over break.
The last couple days I have been reading Idols of Perversity. A recommended book for my symbolism class. It's good but depressing (women clearly always have sex with bulls, goats, snakes, and swans, train their dogs to perform oral sex and want to be raped by animals and/or men.) Glad I wasn't born a century earlier.
Last night we saw Thirteen on HBO. It was excellent, but also disturbing. I related both the girl (although I was so uncool in junior high, I was her uncool old friend who did the science project) but also to the mom although we don't have kids. (I just kept hoping the mom wouldn't fall off the wagon thoughout the movie, although that's not why I related to her. The acting was excellent.)
