I was sitting in a cafe outside Vegas when you called me and asked me why I was late getting into LA. It's my only clear Vegas memory from the drive across the country.

Uh, completely unrelated to anything relevant. Just came to mind.

It was a cool cafe.

Yay msbelle!

Can we declare a moratorium on rape in popular media?

Yes, please.

Oh, and the sexual harassment stuff was my only problem with Horrible Bosses -- lol, rape is funny when it's a hot lady perpetrator.

Also, yay for day 2, msbelle.

Allyson, have fun in Vegas.

My appointment with the ABA therapist? She's 30 minutes late. She called 15 minutes ago to tell me she was late leaving. Um. okay. No yoga for me.

16 pound baby born in Texas.

Holy shit. That's more than my 6-month old weighs now.

That's entirely my hangup with seeing it. Although it's probably less than 1/3 of the movie, I just am tired of my entertainment dollars going in that direction.

In watching the rape on True Blood I was appalled. Not in how it was filmed--it was clearly non con. But at the thought of the responses. And sure enough, I read stuff like "But surely he'd have been into that." "What? Rape." "No, sex with multiple women." Oh, you meant gang rape. Much better. Good god, he clearly didn't want to have sex with the one and he'd been dating her, why would the others be any better? And then the showrunner called it his comeuppance for previous casual sex. Good GOD indeed.

I think that if people handled rape in fiction like...RAPE, I wouldn't mind. Admit that wielded sex pollen is roofies is rape. Admit that men can be raped. Admit that prison rape isn't part of a jail sentence. Admit that it takes recovering from. Admit that no means no. Then I'd be okay. But that so rarely seems to happen.

I was very glad to have seen it for free for just this reason. The non-rape-joke parts ARE really, really funny, but it's not a movie you see for the cinematography, so I'd recommend catching it sometime on Netflix streaming.

Yeah, that's totally fair.

Sort of relatedly, the preview for the Anna Faris movie about revisiting past dudes made me laugh out loud, especially the gynecologist bit that made me think it was going to be a movie actually written for ladies.
