DAY 7 - Tired Rosa is tired
Mar. 29th, 2024 10:04 pmToday I cleaned the windows and washed the nets. After dinner, husband and I popped out for a walk and a bit of shopping.
I probably overdid things - but I get to just chill for the next two days, so I'll be able to recover.
In FFXVI, I checked out the freebies that come with EotF - a new roll of music for the Orchestrion and a Buster Sword, neither of which I'm particularly interested in, but hey, they're FREE! I also cleared out the new crop of side quests before travelling across the sea. I cheered Joshua when he punched Clive. Clive SO had that coming. But also, Jill shouldn't need to have her actions mansplained. But also, Clive should KNOW this.
And I've just finished watching 'Barbie'. It's... not terrible...? But I'm getting tired of the 'women are expected to be EVERYTHING' line. I know Western society does have those unrealistic expectations, but I've built my life marching to my own drum. I don't seek to meet anyone's expectations but my own. Which is great at a personal level, but at the macro level, the Patriarchy is alive and well, and everyone is suffering from the weight of it, men as well as women. What's the answer? Well, Ken should have his own place, too - and a real job. Barbieland is no Utopia.
