Almeda Does Nothing Terribly Constructive
Last night Almeda saw a certain movie with her aunt, mother, & brother for the third time. She spent this morning being delightfully unproductive and reading Cunt, an excessively splendid and inspiring and empowering book. "I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but you MUSTMUSTMUST read it," Almeda proclaims, obviously a member of the "if you repeat something three times, it's more compelling" school of thought. "It makes me want to buy LunaPads and throw a menarche party for my sister when she gets her first period and write a womanifesto and read Pippi Longstocking and start a revolution and CHANGE THE WORLD."
After that, her mother persuaded her to watch His Girl Friday with her, so Almeda did so, while eating Swedish fish, the candy of the gods. Since then, nothing else particularly exciting has happened, although Almeda did put a lightbulb in her new lamp. Winter break rocks.

Posted by: Team Elly on 27.12.02 22:30You don't know what Swedish Fish are? I got screamed at by a guy I liked at camp for not eating them. There went that relationship. >_
Hmm. I find it funny that I am this super feminist, and yet I can't get into books like Cunt. I dunno. I'll check it out if you're enjoying it so much, though.

2) How many Almedas DID it take to change that lightbulb....
