Girls in media
Hey guys!!
Yeps i know, I know. I been slacking in my postings again. Well….get ready for a Darcy flood!!! hehe, Yeps, i will do a movie review, a couple dvd reviews, a game review and this topic to make you think. 
Over on the Farpoint forums, Chris the Fixed Kitty wrote about girls and women role in the media. And how the media has it all wrong. And I agree, she’s totally right.
Here is what she wrote:

1. Only cute/sexy gals will be the hero’s girlfriend, heroine, or villain. Not cute or sexy? Doomed to obscurity, pathetic sidekick-hood, or psychotic vengeance on the cheerleaders (non sympathetic villain).

Hi everyone!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S., and we have many things to be thankful for! I hope you are enjoying time with your loved ones, and are having fun. I will be back as soon as possible – surgery next week should fix me right up. Between being very sore and getting ready for inlaws and surgery, time has disappeared this month, but I will try to get back to getting you all some content.
Have great holidays, and I will be talking to you soon!
Love,
Susie
Hi gang! I just wanted you all to know that I will post another episode soon – I have been scheduled for gall bladder surgery on Dec. 2 , so it isn’t an emergency, but it does cause me to have good days and bad days. So as soon as I have another good day, I will record the next episode for you all!
Anyway, I was very happy to be an American yesterday, and for the first time in a long time, I think we are looking at becoming a more positive country. I would love to hear your comments, feelings and reactions, especially your kids’ reactions!
Talk to you all soon!

I posted on my journal about working up at the hobby shop. so dad said go a head and send it to you too. because maybe some people that listen might have kids old enough to work summer jobs and stuff. so here you go:
hi hi,
yeps. i am working, well kinda sorta. my uncle dave has a bunch of hobby shops here in st louis. the one here is right down our street, i can ride my bike to it. i been helping there clean the store and waiting on people that come in and helping with setting up tables for games and stuff. so uncle dave said, hey you want to learn what we do here? and i was like SURE!!! so dad said maybe this would be a cool thing to post about.
Well first thing to talk about is the first day of work, everyone has to go though this so i had some good advice for you guys. because sooner or later you will get a summer job somewhere.
