FNL, & short skirts
Sep. 21st, 2005 10:14 amI just puttered around the apartment last night, taking care of a bunch of little things like cleaning Tatia's teeth (she was quite the drama grand duchess about it), trying on dresses for the Spotlight On affair this Saturday, watching all the extras on the Friday Night Lights DVD. The commentary was interesting; the director and the author of the original book did the commentary, and they happen to be cousins. They were both quite funny and articulate and very willing to poke fun at themselves. As I'd said before, the story really shuts out the girls' 2nd-class participation in the system--it hardly shows them at all, and the one girl you remember is the girl who boinks the QB at the party and then swans off. Interestingly both commentators would tease each other about how girl-crazy the other was--they both loved the boinker (who did a great job with the two scenes she had, as much as you could with such a crappy role), and they laughed about how the editor kept cutting to the Carter cheerleaders in the final game. Yeah, they're girl-crazy but they give the girls less-than-short-shrift in the movie. It would've been nice if they'd focused less on the short skirts and at least hinted at their actual story.
I also started to watch an old documentary series about Judaism and civilization (another Netflix DVD). Very interesting--I didn't know that Saul was the first Jewish king. Watched some Real World as well--haven't been able to watch much TV because of Midsummer, it's been nice just relaxing this week, although I've been sleeping through the alarm in the morning. Thank goodness my banker is out of the country this week.
So I decided on a darling little black dress for the Spotlight On dinner. It is very short--I modeled it for Doug via webcam and he wrote "holy jesus thats short." It's a tank dress--no cleavage up top, not tight, sleeveless, and a belted A-line skirt. Haven't decided yet what shoes to wear, because I'm still thinking about accessories. As they say, accessories make the woman.
