Reality TV Hangover? Not yet

Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I adore trash- trashy music, trashy magazines, trashy movies and, most of all, trashy television. I am one of those who spends Sunday afternoons watching America's Next Top Model Marathons rather than say, reading in the sun (although it is way too cold to do that right now anyway, so I don't feel so bad).
So honestly, my confession is that one of the reasons I have updated my blog so rarely lately is my vigilance to celebrity gossip blogs. Particularly those focusing on ANTM and The Hills. So I apologize to the few of you who read Femivix. I will post again soon.
That said, The Hills has me wondering whether I stare emptily at people when they are talking to me as much as LC does.

Day of Remembrance.

Today is the 18th anniversary of the "Montreal Massacre", a horrific shooting that took place at the Ecole Poytechnique in Montreal, Quebec. Mark Lepine walked into an engineering school classroom, separated the men from the women, told the men to leave, yelled "I hate feminists," opened fire, and shot the nine women, killing six and injuring the rest. Then he moved onto other parts of the school, By the time he turned his gun on himself, Lepine had killed a total of 14 women:

• Geneviève Bergeron (b. 1968), civil engineering student.
• Hélène Colgan (b. 1966), mechanical engineering student.
• Nathalie Croteau (b. 1966), mechanical engineering student.
• Barbara Daigneault (b. 1967) mechanical engineering student.
• Anne-Marie Edward (b. 1968), chemical engineering student.
• Maud Haviernick (b. 1960), materials engineering student.
• Maryse Laganière (b. 1964), budget clerk in the École Polytechnique's finance department.
• Maryse Leclair (b. 1966), materials engineering student.
• Anne-Marie Lemay (b. 1967), mechanical engineering student.
• Sonia Pelletier (b. 1961), mechanical engineering student.
• Michèle Richard (b. 1968), materials engineering student.
• Annie St-Arneault (b. 1966), mechanical engineering student.
• Annie Turcotte (b. 1969), materials engineering student.
• Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz (b. 1958), nursing student.

While I do not generally condone posting suicide notes, here is Lepine's.

I have decided to send the feminists, who have always ruined my life, to their Maker. For seven years life has brought me no joy and being totally blasé, I have decided to put an end to those viragos.... Even if the Mad Killer epithet will be attributed to me by the media, I consider myself a rational erudite that only the arrival of the Grim Reaper has forced to take extreme acts. For why persevere to exist if it is only to please the government. Being rather backward-looking by nature (except for science), the feminists have always enraged me. They want to keep the advantages of women (e.g. cheaper insurance, extended maternity leave preceded by a preventative leave, etc.) while seizing for themselves those of men.

In Canada, today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action On Violence Against Women.

It's been a long time...

Ok, so while I still have carpal tunnel, it has significantly improved since the last time I wrote and I think it may be time to start this thing up again. I just did my LSATs and finally have time to do activities other than logic games and logical reasoning problems. So, I am back.
