"Couldn't Ask for a Better Day..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I'm running MARC records at the library, and I just noticed that the summary for the film "Precious" includes the line "Precious Jones, an inner-city high school girl, is illiterate, overweight, and pregnant... again".

Can I just take a moment to be extremely offended that 'overweight' is apparently as much a problem as being illiterate or pregnant due to sexual abuse? Based on the cover, what they actually mean is 'obese', but I would argue that it is still not an issue on the magnitude of the other two.

Ffff people annoy me. Back to work.

EDIT: oh my GOD i HATE romantic comedies. BE more misogynistic, i DARE YOU. OR HOW ABOUT NOT. *fumes*

Fff. Well, it's probably good, and I think it has an uplifting ending inasmuch as I think she's able to Overcome Her Problems (with the help of her white social worker or something, hello sketchy race issues that I will ignore), so. It probably won't hurt you. :P

Yes! So true! It's just so infuriating.

Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to come and visit some time this summer. I really miss you, and if you have some free time, it would be super amazing to have you stay. If you're busy I understand, but if you're free-- :D :D :D?

I would love to come and visit for a while! Except I am busssssy and trying also to find a job :( so I don't know when or if it will actually be possible. So we shall see how it goes.

But that would be awesome. I miss you too. Also, if I wanted to mail you a postcard, where would I send it? Shoot me an email, perhaps?

How about I send you my address and you send me your phone number? Even just talking would be really nice.

Talking would be nice indeed! Sounds like a fair trade. :)
