Feminist Friday: The Lawyer Was a Sneetch.

 "You all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores.
 It just makes it okay for guys to call you sluts and whores."
-Tina Fey in Mean Girls


For four days, I was on a jury thanks to the USA Judicial System. I tried so hard to imagine the female defense attorney as Alicia from The Good Wife but she was a Sneetch and not like Alicia at all. The way her nose was upturned when she was questioning made me imagine her as one of Dr, Seuss' yellow creatures.

This made me decide the term "sneetch" is going to be my way of saying "bitch" without having to continue the abuse that word creates. A sneetch can also refer to a male, and the term bitch normally does not. Sneetch is now my new way of describing the bitchiness that comes from a person being snotty and judgmental like the damn lawyer. 

Too bad she won...

Moody Monday: Jury Duty makes me grumpy

You could have just propped me up 
on the table like a mannequin or a cardboard stand up 
and paint me any face that you wanted me to be seen with” 
- Ben Folds and Regina Spektor: You don't know me 

Well, I have jury duty. I can't tell you anything about it other than I hate most of humanity. Can you tell that I'm grumpy about being picked? I'm behind in TV and in my blogging plan. But that's okay? I'm doing my civic duty or some shit. 

If anyone cares here is an interesting article about bras and tits: Are you ready to unleash your ta-tas? And here is my friend's Kate blog entry about last week's episode of The Good Wife: The Good Wife is actually a comedy

TV shows I watch airing this week: 
Sunday: The Good Wife
Monday: How I Met Your Mother
Tuesday: none.
Wednesday: none
Thursday: The Vampire Diaries
