About to go and celebrate the successful completion of my Oxbridge degree. Here’s my question while I’m gone: Is using sex appeal to get ahead (1) having an awareness of the system and playing the game, or (2) still tied down to patriarchal ideals that oppress women in the first place? Or something else? Answer if you’d like to… Any thoughts?

– from Linda Holmes’ review of Luhrmann’s Gatsby, on her NPR Monkey See Monkey Do Blog
Precisely how I felt about this film, too. I know a lot of people scoff at the book, but each time I read it, I devour it, and I always interpret Daisy the same way that Holmes does.
I love love loved...

Ever since I stopped parodying myself and instead started sticking up for myself, my life has gotten infinitely better.

So remember how I wrote about that time when I went to a formal dinner after basically OD’ing on anxiety meds and taking a comp?
…Well, photos are up. This pretty much sums up the night. Time to wallow in regret mode.

just thoughts (get back to work, kasia)
My stomach is tearing itself to pieces. Oh I so want this job in Paris. I’m overqualified (but just to live in Paris for a year before giving into the real world, can you imagine?), and if I could just get the employer’s support for a work permit: boom, I’m in. Punk-ass Polish embassy, all I want is my EU passport, and it shouldn’t take me over three years to get it.
