close the door, earn what you deserve, get a high score and do a manly thing
Escapism: DailyMail article about three women who live in the 50s, 40s and 30s. I like to close the front door, pull off my gloves and know that I am in my own world.
Olympics: TheGuardian shows tattoos of Olympics' participants and asks you to compete in a literary quiz. I got 5 out of 10. :)
Edited to add:
Music: 'Salt, Peppa, and Spinderella' by Johnny Foreigner is a great song but the video might cause epileptic seizures (I'm not kidding here. I don't suffer from epilepsy and my eyes fucking hurt when I watched the vid).
Books: TheWashingtonPost believes that Young adult novel series "Twilight" has sunken its teeth into feminism and I call bullshit. Quote: "Yet on some level, it seems that children may know human nature better than grown-ups do. Consider: The fascination that romance holds for many girls is not a mere social construct; it derives from something deeper." O RLY?
Speeshul points for missing the point: "Three decades of adults pretending that gender doesn't matter haven't created a generation of feminists who don't need men; they have instead created a horde of girls who adore the traditional male and female roles and relationships in the "Twilight" saga."
And for the lulz: "Instead, a growing number of boys in this country spend much of their free time absorbed in the masculine mayhem of video games such as Grand Theft Auto and Halo or surfing the Internet for pornography." Surfing the internet for porn is a exclusive male thing to do? Bwahahahahahaha!
I just saw that the author of the Post article Leonard Sax has written "Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men". I'm sure I saw this book being torn apart in some blog for the unfair representation of both genders but I can't find the link. (This is my last ETA. Promise!)
