In the book the fashions went beyond garish; many people from the Capitol were said to dye their skin in bright colors.

Aw she looks just like this barn kitty I used to know. So cute.

I only discovered this recently, but I tried an Indian food called masala dosa—rice pancake folded over mashed potato and curry spice. Devoured a whole plate and have been dreaming about it ever since.

It may've been. Women in movies don't generally behave that way. Still not sure if it opened doors for women's roles in comedies (ie, being something other than a love interest), or if it was a typical comedy with no difference except that women were doing stupid things instead of men.

I feel like a lot of people genuinely found it funny, but it wasn't my type of comedy. I found it too awkward (awkwardness doesn't make me laugh, just makes me feel awkward on the character's behalf), and almost found it degrading to women, like it was the sort of thing a misogynist would see in order to laugh at…

I didn't like the movie for many reasons, and yeah, think it was very overhyped.

Had an interesting day today: Hauled two heavy fishtanks filled with dirt all over campus, got schooled by a gentleman in sustainable agriculture, and helped catch two escaped pet turtles.

Out of curiosity, how would a writer specify that character is not white, while being unobtrusive but still getting the message to sink in?

Is it the teeth for you too?

I was surprised to see my college's sign pop up here. Wasn't planning to go to this, but now I have to.

Started work on a new show today (my college theatre dept. brings the crew in a week before the show), and this is one of the most intense productions I've ever done. We have three scene changes, and two of them involve a 2000 lb wall hung from the fly system. It takes three people putting all their weight on that…

Les Mis, right? Love both the book and the musical. I bought the London cast recording last week and have been listening to it non stop.

I have not seen the HBO series, but am on the third book. I started off enjoying it highly, mostly because of the well developed world seen through the shifting points of view (he also got in a lot of character development with that technique). I'm starting to lose interest because I'm loosing track of the multitude…

Curious... how did everyone come up with their Jezebel usernames? Tell me about yours.

Oh, ok. I have a friend there. She says the food sucks.

That... might be a good idea. Should try sometime.

Town's walkable, but the big grocery stores are only accessible by vehicle (suppose you could walk, but it would take hours). I want a drink. Wish I were old enough to buy wine. I am a shut in on weekends.

Feeling slightly dissatisfied tonight, partly due to large amounts of work I have to complete this week (and my subsequent not getting any of it done today), but mostly due to meals.

I feel like it is a more social boundary thing: I'm preparing to spend some time in India this summer and my professor did mention that people will often touch hair and skin (being white is still considered a status thing in India); she remarked that blondes will get this the most. She's led several other trips and…
