That 70's Show

"Hanging Out
Down the Street
The Same Old Thing
We did Last Week!"

For the first month of my new baby's life her lullaby was the theme song to this classic show.  My husband and I teased and would sing it to her when we put her to sleep.  It didn't really "work" in that she would fall asleep but we enjoyed it.

I love this show because you can easily watch episodes out of order and still laugh and catch on with what is going on.  I particularly love the pilot and the finale.  The finale is perfect and closes that decade perfectly.  I especially appreciate that they got Topher Grace (Eric Foreman) back for the last episode.  The gang is definitely in my 'I'm bored' rotation.  I usually get bored around the last season so I can't be sure I've seen every episode but probably about 90%.

"Not a thing to do
but talk to you
we're all alright
we're all alright"

TV Review Prologue

I gave birth to my first baby in October and always heard to have books and movies on hand because you have a lot of time to kill.  I thought that applied to the hospital and while that might apply to other mothers, it was not true for me.  I was in the hospital for about 12 hours before I met my daughter but I was never bored.  This could have been because it was my first baby and I was constantly talking to my husband or Mom or the nurses asking questions.

Long story-short, I found myself watching the most TV after she was born.  I turn on netflix in the middle of the night, while I'm nursing, when I'm exhausted but can't sleep because shes's awake or because I just want to hold my little girl.  The following posts are my thoughts after binge watching shows on Netflix.

A Change in Focus

Sad but true, it has been a long time since my Gender Studies course that started this blog and I think it needs to be updated.  I have no real intent for this blog so it may have a lot of different postings but hopefully the posts won't ramble too much.  I hope to keep posting to keep my own sanity.  I believe everyone needs a creative outlet.

My Epilogue

Wow, wow, wow, this class SHOULD be required.  I love it so much because there are so many ways that this class have changed my perspective and added to my previous beliefs.  It is so great to be able to learn more about things that are interesting.   I appreciate the call of action because it is so important to do something, ANYTHING, hopefully everyone can do something small to make a large spread change.  I do most of mine through e-mail with NOW, they give me information I try to find as much as I can on the internet and make my own decision and then I can follow the advise of the National Organization for Women or find my own way to express my opinions.

Epiloge -- Blog Post 13

There are so many things that have changed about my perspective since reading this book, the biggest thing I have done is talk to a lot of people, I read a lot of it with my partner and his perspective was really great to hear. I also love the discussion in class. Its really interesting to hear more about what everyone thinks and I learn more about about issues I didn't even know existed.
