huh? whats going on here..

Today we talked about Television Culture, and with that came the 4 main aspects, which are: 1. social, 2. technical, 3. conventional representational, and 4. ideological.
with all this the show or movie will make sense to the viewer, this helps make the language in the text very known.

to me i tend to turn away from a movie if its a little different, like if I dont really know everything that is going on, if i get lost i tend to just say i didnt like it and not go over it again and again, an example of this is the movie called "Slumdog Millionaire", i honestly was lost from the first couple minutes of the movie. i didnt understand it at all and i just got turned off from it. i dont know why everyone else is in love with it, and how i won so many awards, but again im just one person that just didnt understand it. so its very important to have the 4 core aspects of television culture in the text, it will really help us understand.

short i know but just not much to say sorry. not feeling to well.

Seinfeld VS real life

the Seinfeld group went today and they did a very good job they deff. knew their material. however i though it was funny when they talked about how Seinfeld is based on real life or is real life based on Seinfeld, iv never watched the show yet in class everyone talked about in Seinfeld how they had terminology that they started to use that now we use in everyday living. i have no idea what they were talking about but, the way i see it is that life now is a lot more liberal and open with things then it used to be. and Seinfeld show was out earlier in life and thats when people didn't talk about sex or talk about things that girls talk about with their girl friends or guy talk about in the locker room, so i think the show was ahead of its time in that aspect, however now in life i don't think people saw the show and said "we should be like that and be more open with things" NO! thats not what happen. i think the show was taking a chance and decided to talk about things that people don't talk about and show people that its not a bad thing, its just a thing that is always pushed under the run, when in all reality it would be the main talk on the top of the rug.

i love being open and i don't hid things, i love to talk about everything, i was raised that way my family and i are so open we know everything about everyone in our family,and i mean everything, and i wouldn't have it any other way. i know to many people that cant go to their parents with issues and feelings that they have and its hard on them because they need to let it out and it needs to be ok with the parents so that the kids are being able to fully express themselves.

but again its all just my opinion.

Dating rules..well for some

ok so in class we talked about how men and women act on dates and how men should or should not pick up the check, im not at all an old fashion kind of girl, and in my opinion when it comes to the bill i say if you want to pay for yourself say so, or if you want to pay for both say so. i wont say no if a guy offers yet at the same time i wont wait till its time to go and see if he just pulls out his wallet, in my relationship with my boyfriend i tend to pay. he pays too, and some times we split, its really just whoever gets to it first, and now that we are used to going out together its kind of like "ok so you, me, split?" thats just kind of how we go about dealing with it.

Another funny thing that i know that came to my mind while we were talking is my roommate has this book, and its called "the rules" in this book it has all the rules that a women should do to get "the guy" and she lives by it, however i don't do that but i still found it very interesting. some examples that the book gives are things such as: if a guy asks you out before Wednesday then its ok to say yes your free for Saturday, however if he asks you out after Wednesday you have to say no, because then he things you are busy and not a loser. Another example is you have to hang up first, don't let the guy know at all that you are interested and in a way seem busy so you cant always talk. this last one is one of my favorites, it makes me laugh every time i hear it: when i guy comes to pick you up at your front door let his wait a bit and then when you go to answer it come to the door a little winded and out of breath and say sorry you forgot and your just getting ready you have been busy all day. so it seems like you haven't been sitting around the house all day waiting for this one date!

i find it funny when girls play games to get a guy to be interested, if he likes you then you will know and if no and you cant tell then he's not worth it in my opinion.
