Arizona: Her Story

Fri, 17 May 2013 01:47:00 -0400

I’m reading a lot about how Arizona *should* be feeling. Really? We are watching a whole show from a global perspective where we see machinations that characters can not.

Okay, lets look at things from Arizona’s perspective.

Arizona is in a plan crash. She survives - Good
Mark is dying.

I Tried Gwyneth Paltrow's Diet

I Tried Gwyneth Paltrow's Diet:

Not a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow or her latest incarnation as a lifestyle guru, but this article reviewing her latest cookbook is hilarious and totally worth a read.

Here’s a morsel:

“After breakfast I decided to do the first DVD of the Tracy Anderson method. It’s difficult, actually. Essentially you hold tiny weights in your hand and then flap your arms wildly like a person in a Victorian insane asylum having an epileptic fit.”

HA. HA. HA.

Grey's Anatomy Episode Review: On Arizona and Control:

“Lauren, in case you missed it, is actually Arizona looking in the mirror, they are each other, the same, articulating both what is going on with Arizona and what she needs.”

Another very good, thoughtful piece.

A Is For Arizona And Adultery: A Mediation On A Central Theme In Grey’s Anatomy:

“In that one moment Lauren understood Arizona more than her wife has all season. Because Arizona has never been in control. Every single decision she’s made on this show has been about her giving up a piece of herself.”

This is some good, thoughtful analysis right here.

The ‘Napalm Girl’, 40 years later

Joe McNally, who was commissioned by LIFE magazine to find and photograph subjects of Pulitzer Prize winning photos, shot Kim Phuc – the girl running from an airborne attack in this devastatingly iconic shot during the Vietnam War.

The original photo was taken by AP photographer Nick Ut, and turned Kim into a propaganda tool for the anti-war movement. Joe had the privilege of meeting and photographing Kim, who had recently given birth to her newborn son. Joe knew to treat the situation with care, since showcasing her scars from the napalm burn was significant.

“For me, doing this assignment reconfirmed so many things I’ve always believed about photography,” says Joe in his blog post “On a Road, 40 Years Ago“. “That photo made on that horrible day was made in less than a second. Yet a lifetime spun on its power. With so many photographs being taken everywhere, easily, and thoughtlessly, it’s easy to forget how powerful they can be, and occasionally are.” (via)

Untitled: A straight writer's defense of Rizzles:

I don’t watch this show very often, but I appreciate this well written piece. LMAO at “shipper industrial complex” - great, great point.

aubevans481:

I’m a straight woman. I’m a writer. And I’m a fan of Rizzoli & Isles. Like most people, I watch this show because of the relationship between Jane & Maura, and like many of you on this tag, I read this relationship as romantic. There are many reasons why a lot of my fellow straight people fail…

PETA, please cease with your campaigns. Your radical ideas will never succeed, and your hypocritical views are ridiculous.

“My favorite thing about Parks and recreation is that it’s really a love letter to patriotism, civic pride and friendship. And to be able to play a female relationship with Amy, who I love so much, that isn’t about throwing each other in a pool or dating the same guy is very rewarding.”

“‘Know Thyself’ is the whole of science. Only when man shall have acquired a knowledge of all things will he be able to know himself. For things are but the boundaries of man.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche, The Dawn of Day (via s-cientia)

An interesting meditation on the motivation behind our drive to discover more about the world around us.

Dear Ayn,

I’m dating a man who I think I love, but I’m afraid he’s having an affair. He comes home late, he acts suspiciously, and he even has red lipstick on his collar. Should I confront him or just hope for the best?
