Hello? My eyes are up here!

Remember that couple that recently got married?  They're back from their honeymoon and a couple nights ago my boyfriend and I went to their housewarming party.  We had more fun than I expected and I got to know the women there better as well. 

However, a minor annoying and kind of funny incident.  We met a friend of the bride, somebody who seemed to be a closeted gay.  I have no problems with people who may have different sexual orientations.  Still, I do get irritated when they blantantly stare at my breasts. 

We're talking about a grown man.  I'm having a conversation with him.  I look towards his eyes by unconscious nature and I'm struck by him looking down.  Repeatedly!!!

Why 1865? I have no idea...




Afterwards I discussed it with my boyfriend and everybody noticed.  I know its the immature idiot's fault, but it still makes me feel embarrassed.  Should I have told him off?  My boyfriend and his buddies dubbed him fruity loops lol. 

Is it ok for men to look at breasts at all?  As a woman I do check out good looking men.  Nonetheless, I do it appropriately without them or anyone else noticing.  I also don't think this is a master skill that takes years to develop. 

Let’s say I walk down the street with a female friend and there’s a group of guys talking.  The instant we pass by there is an overpowering silence as the men goggle at us. 

It can be very uncomfortable. I find myself asking "Is there snot coming out of my nose?" or "Am I trailing toilet paper on my shoe?"

So I started browsing the subject on the internet and I found a decent article advising men on how to check out a woman's cleavage without being an idiot and freaking her out.  It's titled How to Stare at a Girl's Cleavage from http://www.lovepanky.com/.  What I liked most about was their first and most important rule is: Stare when she's not looking.  My point exactly.  They also discuss the importance of not making women feel uncomfortable and acting like a psycho which I very much appreciated. 


On a side note...
I am reading: Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi
I want to read: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I have to read: La chanson de Roland by Anonimous

EVERY BOOK MUST GO!!

It's a sad day when a book store closes...
However, the EVERYTHING MUST GO SALE eases the pain.
Especially when every book is worth 2 bucks or less!!

So Borders at Carolina, Puerto Rico closes tomorrow and my mom and I were lucky enough to make it to their last day for some extreme bargains.

At first it seemed everything sucked, just a bunch of 2 dollar Sarah Palin books. But, looking closer we did get some decent finds.  Agatha Christie for one.  In my case I grabbed every novel with a decent plotline that had won or had been nominated for any book award.  We all read shitty books.  Why not take advantage and pay less than 2 dollars for them?

To sum it up: We got approximately 38 books for seventy something dollars. NICE!!!

Here's a nice pic of our new bargain books.  My plan was to squeeze in between them and get a nice pic for all of you but things got in the way.....

Things like Nicolas, my cat.  Probably should have named him Dennis the Menace!!

Look at him! Off to destroy anything that's stacked!!

Best pic I could come up with!

The first thing I grabbed to read was Happens Every Day by Isabel Gillies. 

In just a few hours I'm way past the 100 pages NOT because it's good.  It's actually pretty bad. Particularly the writing.  Gillies constantly makes these huge parenthesis explaining the back story of why she just said something.  That's pretty awful.

The book is a memoir.  The true story of how her english poetry professor husband left her for another english professor.  I don't know if she changed anybody's name but she's describing everybody in complete detail.  Specifically the Oberlin community in Ohio.

What I LOVE the most is that she has gotten the ULTIMATE REVENGE!!!  Gillies wrote a shitty book about what two literary professors did to her and it became a BESTSELLER!!!  Those a-holes must be dying and I'm here in PR...smiling. :)
