Why so serious?
I have a crazy amount of things to do this weekend before SDCC trip. It all boils down to organisation and concentration, both of which I sorely lack. See, I even forgot yesterday was OSJ post day.
When did life get so hectic? Why am I so damn lazy?
Seems like everyone on the flist is going bananas over the Batman film. Is it wrong that I'm not interested? The more hype there is, even if its wholly deserving, the less likely I am to attend a screening. Maybe something Bat-related in me died. I shall be adding Bat-seance to the weekend list.
Hope to get around to making a nice roundup these weekend, especially with the great topics I've read in this week's LA Weekly. Tonight however, I'll leave with a Joanna Lumley's (animal rights campaigner and actress best well-known for Absolutely Fabulous) answer to the question 'are you a feminist?':
Again, the stereotype of a feminist as an angry woman who is constantly antagonising men. With what Lumley's lived through, I thought she at least would have a positive answer. UGH.

No, I don't think so, not in the true terms of how it's understood. I adore women and I think we've had a very raw deal for an amazingly long time and continue to have that raw deal. Women are very different to men and that hasn't been respected. So when people say there's never been a good woman painter or poet or engineer or whatever, they don't understand that our skills are many simultaneously and men's skills are single. But I don't think it's the way to advance the cause. I don't think we should put men's backs up. In many ways we are vastly superior to men, and it's stupid to rub it in. So, darling, I'm not really a feminist.
