terrible movie

I saw a TERRIBLE movie today. It was Post Grad with Alexis Bledel. I was hoping it would be like a lame light-hearted fun sort of movie, but it was just awful. Even my mom hated it and she never hates any movies. As long as she's entertained, she's good, but this had absolutely no redeeming qualities. It was basically girl graduates college, girl doesn't get job, girl's life starts to fall apart, girl ignores male bff who's in love with her, male bff leaves for columbia, girl gets dream job, girl leaves dream job to follow boy (who she had no romantic interest in before) to New York where she has no job, apartment, or plan. So, basically, it's a much better idea to follow a boy who you don't feel chemistry with but is comfortable allllll the way across the country, rather than working hard and climbing your way up the corporate ladder to a job you've always dreamed of. Because love (that you're settling for) > dream career. Because girls can't have high powered careers, silly. And the girl who gets the job before her and was valedictorian and stuff? Bitchy, stuck up, and gets fired. Because that's what ambition gets you. Urrrrrrrg. Why can't movies about women and careers/education all be like Legally Blonde? Where she works hard, puts men to the side, and accomplishes something for herself? But I guess that's setting too high of standards for Hollywood. Silly me.

What looks like a much better movie is Drew Barrymore's Whip It. Ellen Page, Alia Shawkat, and it's directed by Drew Barrymore? Sounds good to me.

In other, unrelated news: two really cute Loli things!

Baby's Vampire Requiem. Omg, in lavenderrrrr. It doesn't go with my wardrobe, but it's just so pretty!

AP Hello Kitty Collab! I don't love it, so I'm not going to buy it, but it's a lot better than Baby's.

I also can't decide if I like the Friend Usakumya Lillian skirt. I like the yellow and the white, but is it too little kid-ish? I struggle sometimes with the fine line between "child-like" and "child-ish". What do y'all think?

Whip it looks good!!! I really want to go see the Roller Derby in Santa Cruz. It was always at times when I worked last year, but last time mom and I came down we parked outside the community center and we heard it and it sounded like so much fun!

I like the usakuma skirt in brown, but the other colors are a little too "precious memories". If the rest of the outfit was simple and white or cream, then the pastel colorways could look really adorable.

I'd be down to go see Roller Derby. The other day, someone at the library asked if I was in the roller derby. I was just like...um, no. @_@

Most movies portray women so horribly.

ROLLER DERBY!

Yeah, most movies do portray women horribly. I try to turn off my critical eye when I watch movies because it makes it a much less enjoyable experience, but this one was so unenjoyable I couldn't turn off the critic. I was entertained enough to suspend disbelief.

I agree, ROLLER DERBY! It's so cool they're making a roller derby movie. :D
