Let Me Ponder My Response To This

''Few men work in book publishing, so there are few supporters in the industry for books that men in particular might like, causing fewer such books to be published or promoted and finally leading men to think that books are not for them.''

The Girl Who Did Not Wait

Okay, so I'm noticed on icons this tendency to label Amy as 'The Girl Who Waited' while Rose gets to be Bad Wolf wtf which is wrong. 

Because, sure, when she was seven she waited all night for the Doctor.... before going on to write comic books and make dolls and force her boyfriend to dress up as 'The Raggedy Doctor' (question: when will that stop being awesome? answer: never) and grow up and become a kiss-o-gram and when the Doctor showed up she hit him with a cricket bat and locked his tie in a car door and didn't ever let him forget he was late, late, late and then she was about to get married (hardly the sign of a girl with her life on hold) before the Doctor had to practically seduce her to step into the TARDIS.

My point is 'the girl who waited' has a very passive vibe to it. Amelia Pond did not spend her life pining for the Doctor - or if she did, she pined very, very badly.

Iron Man 2

Was actually better than I expected. It was a solid sophomore effort.

Also, I'm all caught up with The Vampire Diaries, and I have to admit, this show is so much fun to watch now that I have let my inner Damon/Elena shipper off her leash. ( I like my vampires tall, dark, and homicidal )
