HBO's girls

Ah this show...I love it intensely. Currently it's the pop culture item that feminists cant seem to agree on. On one hand, it is very realistic in how 20 somethings talk to each other, treat each other, adn just generally handle life. There are a few things though that aren't the greatest. For one, the entire cast so far is white. I would appreciate a bit more diversity, and also the clothing isn't accurate for what the audience is supposed to believe the girls are making. HOWEVER, that being said, the characters are amazing. Not since Buffy have I been so impressed with the creativity of the characters. Hannah, the main girl, has so much of my personality in her. She's awkward and insecure about her body and she's a feminist. The other characters are wonderful as well. One situation that this show portrays very accurately that many shows don't is the 'too nice guy relationship' I've been in one of these before and the show portrays it perfectly. Basically the man is so nice and always wanting to talk that the girl gets a little bored and starts asking him to be a little more assertive. She really wants to leave but she can't because, as quoted in the show, she is 'trapped in a cage of his kindness' Though I've heard people say that they think the girl is selfish I just think it's human nature. Anyways that's probably the most well written part of the show. Still at the cabin. The waves are hitting the shore quite a bit today. Looks like we're in for a storm tonight! Austin moves into his new place on Thursday. It will nice to have a place to crash where we can actually sleep in and not have to get up 30 mins early to drive to work. Plus he's just really excited. He loves his new job and really likes the money that he's making. He's got a wonderful work ethic, and I love that about him :) Shout out to Kevin! Who finally got his own blog :)
