So seriously - my question for the masses today is what is worthy of being blogged? How do you know if something is "bloggable" or "blogworthy" [as some prefer]? I suppose if we were to try and divine some kind of objective standard, most of us would be out of luck. I mean, for instance, who really cares that Pierce Brosnan himself washed my windshield last Saturday afternoon? Or, who cares that I'm watching my favorite movie, The First Wives Club , on USA, or why it's my favorite movie, or my reflections on life in general as related to said televisual feast? Who cares that I had my nails painted a shade of red called "I'm Not Really A Waitress" this morning? Or that I botched my cross at practice this morning?
Answer? I have absolutely no idea that's who. Maybe my parents care that I'm awake and alive on a Saturday afternoon. Maybe my trial team partner appreciates my positive knowledge of my need to like pay attention during direct. Maybe my brother cares about the status of my fantasy football team. Maybe my boyfriend cares that about my preference for movies with latent feminist undertones. But then again, maybe they don't.
But guess what...I don't care who cares. The beauty of the internet is, if there were some kind of objective standard of what ought to be allowed, then there probably wouldn't BE an internet. So anyone who attempts to comment on my choices in what to blog about would vanish in a poof of applied metaphysics.
And maybe my feminism isn't latent. Maybe this movie isn't feminist - maybe it's what SHOULD be the norm. Women should not be used and abused and discarded. What's wrong with a movie where Sarah Jessica Parker gets ditched. And who says opening a domestic abuse center is something reserved for women? Ridiculous...yes yes it is.
So I mean I could sit here and give you all the play by play on my life. But I don't want to - and it's my blog so I can do what I want.
